    Tabard Inn is simply the best place to go for brunch/ lunch or a romantic date night dinner on a freezing cold winter day. An English style Inn with warm fireplace in the lounge area and many tables in various nooks and crannies of the dining area. Good bar, professional service and good food. We loved it.

    The food, service and presentation was fantastic and made for a wonderful experience. My only reservation was the dinning area felt a bit congested, and as a result, felt a bit confined and challenging to hear at times. This aspect was unfortunate to an otherwise great experience.

    Another pleasurable experience at Glenwood's. Went for Valentine's Day. Our server, Michael, was outstanding. The food was delicious, as always. 16oz ribeye at medium rare was grilled to perfection. My wife had the prime rib. Both cuts of beef were outstanding. We also had the white chocolate raspberry cheesecake for dessert, which was delicious. We usually go with our regular, the key lime pie, which is also delicious, but opted for the cheesecake this time, as Michael recommended it as a "no brainer." Glad we did. Great recommendation by Michael! The entire dining experience was outstanding and was topped off with the restaurant giving my wife a single, long stem red rose for Valentine's Day.

    We couldn’t have been more impressed with the service and the great food. Everyone in our party of four had something different and each meal was delicious and came with more than ample servings. The service was top notch across the board from our charming waitress to the busboys delivering and clearing our plates. Without question all of us will come back and spread the word amongst our local friends that The Farnhouse is a must for lunch or dinner.
