Glenlore Trails
2024 Oct 07
I was visiting the area and heard about their enchanted Glenmore trails event for Halloween and decided to check it out. I went on an adults only night and they had live music and concessions. My sister came along and we both really enjoyed the mile hike through the woods with all of the really cool spaces along the way. I really enjoyed how this was more of the mystical side of Halloween and not the blood, guts and horror side of Halloween. Even though we came for the event, the trails were very well-maintained and it was an overall pleasant walk!!

I decided to come here to celebrate my 30th with a small party of 4 and expected a more elevated experience. The building was absolutely stunning on the inside and vintage. We were served by Matt and he was training as well (Kylie? I think it was a K name). Throughout the night I could quietly hear him explain things to her in detail as they were ringing in our orders which I loved. He was so thorough and I could tell he was one of the best!
We started off with the rotating cheeses and figs for apps and both were fantastic. I decided to try the duck while the rest of the party chose other dishes. Everything was as delicious as I was hoping it to be. The flavors were there and everything was cooked properly. Our drinks also complimentary our meals as well! We decided to end the meal with the cheesecake and crème brûlée. The cheesecake was hands down the best cheesecake we’ve ever had! It was so fluffy in texture and the flavor was a perfect blend of creamy and tangy. The crème brûlée was also creamy and perfectly set.
Since it was my birthday, I also decided to get the absinthe service because why not! It was so fun to finish the night with this service and would recommend to anyone interested in exploring a new liquor! All in all, it was probably my favorite birthday dinner to date. We never felt rushed, it stretched over the course of 2.5 hours which I appreciate for so much food, and Matt gave me a little candle for my birthday as well. Definitely recommend visiting for any occasion!
