We had a wonderful experience celebrating my daughter's college graduation. We had a reservation for 8 but they kindly accommodated an increase to 9 upon arrival. All dishes were enjoyed by everyone, and the staff even stored a cake we had brought with us and presented it during the dessert course. My father requested a song from the live band and they played it straight away. We've been coming to Stanford Grill (now Glenwood's) for nearly 20 years and were concerned with what the change in name might mean. We were happy to experience the same high quality food and service we've always known.

My family and I attended Stanford grill for my sister in law high school graduation. The restaurant was accommodating to our large party of 6, and catered to our dietary preferences. I decided to get the crab cake sandwich and I'm glad I did. Let's start with the shoestring fries. These were amazing and addicting. Well salted and crispy I couldn't stop eating them to the point that I almost got full before trying the sandwich itself. I decided to ask for avocado and spinach instead of lettuce and tomato and my server was accommodating to my request. I also asked for a side of the honey sesame vinaigrette and It took the sandwich to a whole nother level. The crab cake itself did not have a lot of filling, the bun was soft and the avocado added a nice creaminess to the Sando. My wife family enjoyed their meal as well and we are glad that we came

Great intimate place! Super versatile, could be perfect for a business lunch, dinner date or a get together with friends. The portions are more than generous and the food is really good! I had Hector as a server and he was amazinggggg. Went as far as to pair my wine with my meal for me, helped us pick meals we both loved and checked in on us several times. I didn't have a reservation but was still able to be seated and shortly after I arrived the restaurant got busy so depending on when you want to go, I suggest making a reservation during peak hours.

It's strange to me this location is changing its name. I get it - properties are merged and bought all the time. But this is an established name and brand in this area. The rotisserie chicken is my go-to and has never failed. Swapping the asparagus for the spinach is a better way to get some greens but all their sides are amazing. Service is consistently top-notch: helpful, friendly and attentive. They offer a covered outdoor seating area which provides a brighter mood than indoors. Often a small band or piano player is active in the front corner. For an experience, make plans to visit here as often as possible.

I think tis is a nice spot for a family dinner noting to write home about but eventing is pretty good. I love the ambiance the customer service is what will make return, they hire quality servers that care about the service they are providing you. The food was good I think it lacked a specific flavor that made anything exceptional. I think the drinks are delicious. They pour perfect and it jsutifies the cost so drink responsibly lol. I love the fireplace sitting in the middle of the room that really adds to the vibes. You definitely want to make a reservation for this spot, they will fit you in if they can but they also are often booked. Parking is plenty no worry about having to look for a spot or walk a ways.

Visited Stanford Grill last night to celebrate my husband's birthday! The food and service was just as good as last time! We started off with the Calamari, which came out so fast! Very crunchy and loved the sauce. I got the Chicken Pot Pie again, delish. My husband tried the Chicken Parmesan this time and he cleaned his plate, he loved it. For dessert, we had the Key Lime Pie again, and they brought it out with a candle for my husband. Had another great dinner and can't wait to be back soon!

Hello! The location has good parking. Coming into the establishment, it has a great ambiance. The lighting is dim, there is music in the background, fireplace, and a bar side with a piano. I ordered the char grilled chicken and a salad. They were both delicious . Here's the yummy thing, the salad had cornbread croutons! Soooo good. I'm not supposed to have bread...however come on now! They give you a large piece of cornbread also ( I didn't eat it), it was so good, though. Our waitress Katie was great as well. The noise level was low, and we could hear each other. The pricing was reasonable ..19.00 for my chicken. Definitely try the place, it's a really nice time. Date night or girls' night or whatever you make it!

Came on a Thursday night, staff is very nice and friendly. Plenty of parking even though it was busy. They had a live jazz band. i Had driven by here and heard about it. Ambience This is nice for a date night, but honestly if I was the date I may not be impressed by bland food with no seasoning. I feel like the menu is limited and its comfort food with no kick, you can find this kind of food almost anywhere. Calamari was good, breading was not the best Pasta was good Chicken Pot Pie is good, hard to find this fresh from the oven.

Stanford Grill is owned by the same group as Cooper Canyon and actually have identical menus. Their entrees have extremely healthy portions. I had their chicken pot pie, but also tried their short rib, BBQ Ribs, and Chicken Parm. Every dish was solid. The sides are a little underwhelming, but the star of the meals were great! Their desserts are also huge! I was a little shocked to see each item being $13-15, but they're enough to feed 3, maybe even four, people! I have been to this SG in Rockville, but the service here was fantastic. Our waiter was really patient with our large group and accommodated us throughout the whole experience!
