We had our wedding at the Glen Iris and it was fantastic. The wedding coordination team was so easy to work with and had all of the details covered. Our guests raved about the beautiful location and the great food. The bartender and other staff working our wedding were super friendly and accommodating and kept the night flowing smoothly. We stayed at the lodges across the street and found them to be clean, quiet, and a good value.
The event was very reasonably priced- probably half of what you'd pay for a similar event in Rochester or Buffalo. I appreciated that the prices are transparent on the website unlike a lot of venues today- my personal estimate was within 5% of what we ended up paying.
The only challenge was logistics, since it is a pretty remote area without reliable phone service, transportation, and limited hotel rooms. We booked out most of the property and had most of our guests stay on site but may be something to consider if hosting a larger group.

The Inn is set in a beautiful area. The food is good. It is expensive. The fall time is always super busy. The service through the years has been mostly good. You definitely need reservations during the fall season.
Rooms: My husband and I stayed over at the Inn quite a few years ago. I remember our room was very nice.
Nearby activities: There are trails, museums, an autism nature trail, gift shops, picnic areas, camping, a public swimming pool, and playgrounds.
Walkability: There are trails to walk throughout the park.
Food and drinks: There are a few places to get food and drinks in the park during the summer season.

This is a beautiful venue any time, but especially this time of year. As you should expect, it was very busy with people coming out to see the fall colors but the staff were efficient and pleasant. The menu caters to various tastes and the quality is extremely good. We never miss a chance to stop in.

Only had a very small lunch menu at the time. Started with the French onion soup which was the best part of the meal, but still not great. Ordered the turkey club and tuna croissant. Both were decent but not worth the price. Very average or below average food. Service was sub par. Restaurant was not busy. Food was delivered quickly, but after that I had to wait at least 15 minutes to find my waitress to get a refill for my water. When she did return I could smell the cigarette smoke on her and knew that she was out having a smoke break. I tipped accordingly.

We were looking forward to enjoying the Fall foliage and a lunch stop at the Glen Iris Inn. While the food was quite good the service fell far short of what we expected for such a legendary, iconic venue. The hostess was a bit gruff and our waitress was terrible. Our waitress got one of our orders wrong, she failed to clear drink glasses after a request to do so, she forgot our drink refill order and we had to reorder and she kept us waiting over 20 minutes for our check (she came in from outside and we suspected she was out having a cigarette). We were quite disappointed.

RESTAURANT ONLY - we were hiking in the area and stopped by to pickup hot chocolates. One of the worst we have had, almost felt like drinking a hot watered mix.

Went to the Glen Iris for lunch when visiting the park. Service and food were both excellent! We had the turkey dinner which, after hiking, was not too much.

Service was good, location stunning, however food is horrible. The “crispy” chicken that I ordered was disgusting. It looked and tasted like it had been made the day before. Unpalatable. The arugula salad was meh. It was my day off from cooking for my family and I feel like it was a waste
Lunch on a beautiful fall day. Quick service, great food, good pricing(about $20.00). Beautiful scenery inside & out w/ seating outside as well. Second story not for dining but has rooms, library- all in dark wood.

The atmosphere is amazing. The sights are beautiful 😍. The food I would pass on. It's over-priced for the quality. Dinner rolls was like a rock. I had the duck with cranberry and green beans and mash potatoes. Duck was overcooked and chewy, sauce was good cranberries like applesauce, green beans overcooked, but the wine was great. My other half had the chicken parm. It was more sauce and very over whelming but the chicken was good. The cook he had was watered down.
