    Shaved prime rib
    Bruce R.

    Caroline's in the Glen Iris Inn. Last day serving lunch and dinner for the season. Took the ride to enjoy what's left of the fall colors. Service was very good. Atmosphere and dining area was historical and comfortable. I went with Nashville hot Chicken sandwich, wife had the daily special which was a Shaved prime rib sandwich covered in gravy with mashed potatoes. Both were delicious. Tuna croissant at next table looked amazing... you'll have to wait till next year.

    First time here and we decided since it was such a beautiful day to eat outside. Inside looked so beautiful next time I'll have to try it there. I ordered a sweet heat pizza, which was a little bit too spicy for me and my girlfriend ordered a Monte Cristo sandwich. The food was good but nothing we could say was outstanding but definitely a beautiful setting and a place I will visit again.

    To a person, the staff at Glen Iris Inn was terrific and the historic Inn itself overlooks the striking Middle Falls and Gorge. Even though it was among the busiest weekends of the year, they responded graciously to a special request and several questions. The White Pine suite was spacious and clean and the bed was very comfortable. Our only complaint was the restaurant was understaffed (aren't many these days?) and breakfast, including tea and coffee, took nearly 40 minutes to arrive and was cold when it did. Friday, there was cocktail service on the porch, which was awesome, but on Saturday, they said they didn't have the staff to provide it, which was disappointing. There were 20 of us in various cottages as well as the Inn to celebrate a 15th wedding anniversary, and like several attendees have already done, we'll be back.

    I would probably do a 3.5 if possible. Had lunch there on Sunday. I was the first customer right after it opened up. The hostess ignored me and walked out with a bunch of menus, someone else said she would be right back. After the hostess came back, she just stirred at me without saying a word. I said one for lunch, she said ok, then asked me inside or outside, led me to a table. After I was done with lunch, I walked past her to leave, she looked at me again, not a word. Just very strange behavior for a hostess. The waitress was great, explained the food when I asked about portions, got me water without ice as I asked., checked on me often. I decided on the smoke trout from the appetizer for my lunch. The smoke fish smelt a little fishy but tasted fine. There was a smudge of dark green/ black stuff under the lettuce that was under the fish. I suspect it was some rotten lettuce that didn't get picked out. It didn't touch my food, so I continued to eat, but informed the waitress when she checked on me. She agreed it looked like rotten lettuce and said she would inform the kitchen. No action from the kitchen or staff to address this. The old inn is lovely. I asked for an indoor table, so my view was the garden. If sitting outside you could have the middle falls' view. You can park there and walked to the middle and upper falls trials. Conclusion is the restaurant is just so so, the restaurant needs better training for the hostess and in the kitchen. It was neat to visit the historical inn and visit the park.

    "Don't go chasing waterfalls Please stick to the rivers and the lakes" (TLC) Well, you won't see this at too many other hotels, because just a few steps from the Glen Iris Inn's front door is a humongous waterfall on the grounds of Letchworth State Park. The Glen Iris Inn is smack in the middle of the spectacular Letchworth State Park. If you walk out the front door, you'll see the falls, but you can follow a walkway and stairs to get an up-close view of the Middle and Upper Falls. The Inn is more like a B&B than a hotel. Our guest room on the second floor was appropriate to an old house with an old school key and deadbolt lock. When you leave your room, you'll need to use the key to lock your room door. Our room had a nice comfortable bed, a dresser, and two nightstands. The HVAC in the room and the shower in the bathroom shower were great. There is no coffeemaker in your room, but coffee was served on the second floor. The staff we interacted with (front desk attendant, restaurant concierge and our server) were all great. The house restaurant (Caroline's) was beautiful, and we had a nice dinner there. But being that the Glen Iris Inn is an old house, there were some age-related issues. There was noise from the 3rd floor room above - footsteps and creaking floors, but I know that's typical of old house acoustics. There was no TV in our room, but there was one on the 3rd floor lounge. There was a scarcity of outlets in our room, and one I found was so old and worn out, my charger fell out. Our bathroom had a small pedestal sink with pretty much zero counterspace. The staircase from the lobby to the 2nd and 3rd floors was steep and had an open handrail at points, so be careful. There's no elevator, so if you get a room on the 3rd floor, be prepared.

    Went here for the first time with a group of 12. We were seated at 2 tables next to each other. Service was great. Each table had a waiter. Food was great and so was service. It does get loud in there so hard to talk. Views out the window is beautiful with the fall colors

    This has been on my bucket list for quite some time, and it absolutely lived up to my expectations. Great ambience - classic and cozy . In that setting, I had to order a comfort meal for lunch - Pot Roast . It was delicious - Tender beef with mushroom gravy , homemade mashed potatoes , and buttery vegetable medley . The service was top notch too . It was a very busy afternoon, since it was the closing weekend for the inn, but their staff handled it effortlessly. I can't wait to come back next season ! 5 stars

    Beautiful Innn, history, and view. We got drinks, appetizers, and dinners. Everything was wonderful. It feels very old world regal inside. hundred year old charm.

    Appetizer brie with crackers.

    This is the restaurant for the Glen Iris Inn. It is situated at the Middle falls in Letchworth State Park. We stopped in for lunch. I enjoyed my salmon, and my dining companion liked her brie with berries, but said the brie should have been warmer. Still, we both found our meals to be entirely satisfying.

    The park is fine. The rooms in the pine Lodge are outdated, overpriced and the beds are absolutely terrible.

    The food is excellent as is the service. Book an overnight stay to experience the park and especially the Falls.

Our first visit was in January and we've been back 2 more times already. The main dining room is down stairs. The bar area upstairs seems very lively and inviting as well, and I've heard there's patio seating we want to try in the late spring. Service was excellent and very attentive. We loved everything we tried. You can do things traditional tapas style or you can go the appetizer and entree route. We had the calamari to start and some cocktails. For our entrees we each ordered the "feature" of the evening -- my fiance got the steak and I got the salmon. My fiance is pretty 50/50 on how good his steak experiences are in restaurants and he was very satisfied with the entree he had. My salmon cakes were SO good, everything tasted very fresh. The server also did a great job recommending a white wine to pair with my meal. We finished off with our dessert, I had the flourless chocolate torte and my fiance had (I can't recall exactly) a banana cream cheese churro I think? The desserts were amazing every time we've gone. We've had more chances to try other tapas items, the arancini is delicious as well. Also of note was that we had a good group dining experience here in February for a family members birthday. Overall if you haven't tried this spot make sure you do!

We got the Brussels sprouts and arancini for appetizers. Both were so so. I got the 180 mocktail, which was good. The shrimp naan pizza was pretty basic but good. Our waiter seemed very nice. Based on his recommendation, we tried the banana cheesecake dessert which was terrible! Honestly, there's not much to talk about the food. But, if you want a cool space to hang out, this is your spot! They also outsource dishes from the neighboring Italian restaurant, Sagra. I probably won't be back.

I had booked my rehearsal dinner with Capri when they were a wine bar. Imagine my surprise when I randomly see on Instagram that they have completely rebranded and redesigned the restaurant to be a sports bar. Painted the interior black, changed the menu, even completed the space with some dart boards, a pool table, and beer decor. Not ONCE did they let me know about this change. I felt it was completely warranted that I get my $500 deposit back as this was far from the appropriate vibe for a rehearsal dinner and never was I even given the courtesy of letting me know their restaurant was changing. I have since reached out via email multiple times and left multiple voicemails without reply. I then messaged them on instagram asking for their contact, which they very promptly replied to because they weren't aware who I was. I confirmed the event coordinator was the same woman and email was the same. She has just been ignoring me. I then replied and told them to reply and asked they give me my deposit back and (shocker) they went MIA. Horrible business practices, I bet that if I didn't reach out to them and never saw about this change on Instagram, I would have showed up for my rehearsal dinner to discover this mess. Don't give them a cent of your money, they have plenty more than they deserve from holding my hundreds of dollars hostage :)
