There's a live band at least earlier in the evening. We were there on a Wednesday with a prefix menu - farm to table veggie meal with option of adding grilled chicken. On the night we were there they also had a silent auction going to raise funds for a health clinic. Food was very good, great presentation - delicious creamy cucumber soup, mushroom quinoa and peach upside down cake (at $44 and $50 with chicken it was quite reasonable). Fantastic dining environment. Will definitely come here again on our next trip here.

Highly recommend reservations or you might not get a chance to eat here. If you have a wheelchair you must also make a note when reserving online or you might have to wait for a table on the main floor. Other than all the waiting the food was amazing and the presentation was awesome as well. I loved the whole concept of eating in a greenhouse and being surrounded by all the plants. The menu changes all the time and everything is exceptionally fresh. We had the curried hummus appetizer and it was very well seasoned. The burrata was also really good and filling. Hubby had the soba noodles which I normally am not a fan of BUT these ones were so well dressed with a creamy sauce it was packed with flavor and this is the only place I'd eat it at. We had carrot cake for dessert, the oasis smoothie was next level and a vegan ice cream. Honestly haven't been so impressed with a restaurants food in so long and I WILL be a regular customer for sure!

Unfortunately, we waited quite a while to be acknowledged, while the bartender seemed much more interested in chatting with who I'm assuming were locals sitting at the bar. Eventually, an older woman came around the corner and asked her to come over and help us. The bartender rolled her eyes and then made a very inappropriate gesture, pretending to put a gun in her mouth with her fingers, before walking over to us with a smile as if nothing had happened. My husband and I own a bar/restaurant ourselves, so we completely understand that everyone has bad or frustrating moments while working in this industry. But I felt like this was completely unacceptable behavior, especially right in front of customers. It's certainly not something we would accept from someone working in our establishment. We had our drinks and left shortly after. It's too bad because the tavern seemed like it could have been a really fun place to spend the night, but after witnessing that interaction, we were completely put off and didn't feel like staying.

The Glimmerglass at the Otesaga Hotel in Resort in Cooperstown is a throwback to the old style…read moreelite hotel dining. Unfortunately, it is no longer appreciated for it's greatness as times have changed. As a Resort Guest, I had the breakfast option which was a great choice to enjoy such elite dining on premises. Convenient and top notch. In the times I visited (July 2021) it was trailing to the end of the COVID nightmare (but before Delta) and the buffet was open and full quality was there. About all a guest could notice was the diligent wearing of masks by staff. The buffet was as good as you can get. Full fruit and Continental options, or hot eggs, meats, potatoes, biscuits, and gravy. And eggs/omelets made to order. The only drawback was that I didn't want to over eat to start the day. needed a second stomach. Upon sitting the wait staff gets any drink you need (coffee/juices) as part of my breakfast included price. I was only brought a check at the end for a gratuity. Some uneven service getting to drinks quickly but it wasn't hard to get their attention if needed. There is a fancy dining room (I dropped a couple of photos) and a nice outdoor patio facing the lake. The outdoor seemed to fill up first albeit the weather was near perfect so can't blame. A point of confusion was logistics and dress code. Upon check in, the desk clerk let me know where it was and strongly advised a reservation and let me know it was fine dining and dress code was appreciated. Not knowing what time I wanted to eat I called late and no answer. I called restaurant services when I woke up and was forwarded to the casual dinner restaurant. I called the desk and had them transfer me, same as just calling, forwarded to casual not answered. No worry, I arrived and they had the guests on a list and it wasn't crowded enough to be an issue. Other thing was dress code. Some things I'd read in the literature was no sports gear, no hats, etc. Since most of the patrons were at the hotel for recreation (kids baseball tournaments, Hall of Fame, etc.) I didn't think wearing a T-shirt and tennis shoes would be an issue. It wasn't. Just don't wear swimwear. At the time I went it was breakfast only. If and when it opens for dinner do not listen to this advice and discuss with the management. Really nothing wrong here, can't withhold even a star. If you stay here, eat here. If the cost is too much, then find a place in your range but you won't beat the quality. This buffet was as good as it gets.

Keep an eye our for their daily specials because some of their specials are amazing! They do have a regular menu as well. It is rather limited but the quality is always excellent.

The staff/owners are super polite and you can tell that they have pride in what they do. The country theme is adorable and perfect for the area. The area doesn't offer too many restaurants given that it's a small rural town and they are a huge gift to us over here!

My husband and I went there when we moved to the area three years ago. We stood waiting to be…read moreseated, we were completely ignored for several minutes, and then some people who were obviously friends of the woman working there were seated ahead of us. We walked out and stayed away for three years. Yesterday, we decided to give them another chance, so we went back. There was no sign or any indication in any of the daily Facebook publicity that the dining room was closed, and that meal service is takeout only. So we went around to the takeout window, which is NOT handicap accessible (steps only, no ramp), and stand on line to finally learn that the dinner would not be ready for at least 25 minutes (this was at 5:30 PM, not exactly an off hour for dinner service). Did they honestly expect my disabled husband to stand in the blazing summer sun for half an hour? (There were no seats available by the window). I knocked on the door of the dining room hoping we could at least sit down to wait, but they didn't even answer. We left, we will NEVER return, and I will make sure to tell everyone I know in this little town to stay away unless you actually want to be treated badly. I don't care if your food is cordon-bleu, no business should treat their customers with such disregard. I guess they think that, since they are the only restaurant in town that isn't a bar, it's okay to be rude and unaccommodating.
