 Glenwood
Grill
Glenwood Grill is really a well hidden restaurant in a shopping
center at the corner of Glenwood Ave and Oberlin Rd. There are
many people unaware of this nuvo southern style restaurant. A
little over a year ago they redecorated the restaurant. Originally,
it was decorated in black and white making it formal and quiet.
Now, they have used earth tones throughout the restaurant making
it much more warm and inviting. Glenwood Grill is open for lunch
and dinner as well as private parties on Sundays.
It had been a while since my last trip to Glenwood Grill and
I was surprised to see the restaurant almost completely full for
lunch on a Monday. They have a "power lunch" that they
serve daily. The power lunch has items such as shrimp and grits,
Thai chicken salad, crab cakes, grouper wraps, burgers, etc...
Most of the lunch items come with a side of either roasted potatoes,
pasta salad, or potato salad. There were a lot of items on the
menu that I wanted to try, but they had a turkey sandwich with
grilled zucchini and roasted red peppers on focaccia bread that
caught my eye. I'm a sucker for real turkey, not the deli meat.
I asked the waiter if they cooked a turkey breast and carved it
themselves in the restaurant. He told me that it definitely was
a turkey that they cooked and prepared. Unfortunately, when the
sandwich came out it was deli meat. I was a little disappointed,
but the sandwich and my roasted potatoes were both very good.
Overall, I was really impressed with the new look and the food
at Glenwood Grill. If you go for lunch make sure to go early or
call ahead for a reservation. It gets pretty crowded.
