We waited 10 min before we were greeted. 15 min before we got water. 25 min before our order was taken. The hostess was aware but barely involved. It was ridiculous. The hostess could have been bringing water and bread and taking drink orders. She didn't. Occasionally she would do something in service of the tables. Very poorly run. The server would work one table at a time when she could have touched multiple tables at once. When we did get our food it was mediocre . The artichoke hearts were breaded with no seasoning. Potatoes with the entrees were over garlicky. Entrees were meh. $300 including tip for 4 with wine. For that amount you can do better. We don't recommend.

Everything was perfectly prepared and delicious ranging from still crisp fresh vegetables to sliced beef in mushroom gravy to some of the best eggplant parm our had ever had -- and many of them were from Italian families with great cooks so that was a profound compliment. The service was prompt, friendly, and professional. We had dessert served at the table. The pacing excellent and the value was the best we have seen in any local caterer -- and we have done a number of events. Don't let the word tavern in their name dissuade you from checking out their options because they have an elegant, delicious and wide ranging catering menu.

Earlier, it had seen much activity during the 1751 French and Indian Wars and later, during World War II, it housed temporary billeting for war factory workers. Attended a family wedding here and the ambience was impressive. The food was on the order and magnitude of Michelin guide books. Views and vistas of the river and the manicured grounds were memorable, made doubly so during the splendid explosion of autumn foliage colors! Solid 5 stars. Even the water infiltration into our bathroom caused by a roof leak due to the two days of nonstop rain couldn't detract from the overall experience. We simply asked the front desk for extra towels and partied on (whilst the plumbers were called). Thank you staff of Glen Sanders for a wonderful experience and thank you readers for reading my review.

My personal feeling is that they need to step up the food game. During the appetizer hour the shrimp and the meatballs were good, the little (cheese steak?) sandwiches were pretty greasy. At dinner, the salads seemed plated and dressed well beforehand (mostly cores with soggy croutons). The beef dish was good (I had a bite of someone's) the chicken (parm) was not good at all.

Not only is it an entertainment venue but an art gallery as well. Downstairs there's a cozy bar, a wonderful restaurant serving delicious food, a nice dance floor and great entertainment, whether it's a band, acoustic singer-songwriter or other musical group. Upstairs is a masterpiece you need to experience to appreciate, especially when a band is playing and everyone is on the massive dance floor. The owner has painstakingly restored this magnificent church and I highly recommend you check it out during the cold upstate months. Sandy can't compete with the warm weather outdoor patios of other places so look for the event schedule. There is lots of parking in a lot next to her building as well as next to the building across the side street.

Pro's: The weather was beautiful and the scenery of the plush landscape and lake were great for a wedding! The main course was excellent, some of the best wedding food I have had. There was a lot of space and chairs for people to sit and talk outside of the pavilion. Ruth was great and very attentive to the couple and the wedding party and parents. Con's:The couple told me they had problems with getting questions answered timely and there was also confusion on who was a partner vendor and who wasn't. The wedding party didn't get any drinks or cocktail hour snacks while taking pictures. I heard from other guests there wasnt much being passed around and people were starving after waiting in line for a cocktail (one bartender for 150 person wedding). BUGS BUGS BUGS, thank god there was bug spray in the bathroom baskets because they were out and with vengeance. No water on the table- really odd, if you wanted water you had to go to the bar. Also, where was the champagne for a toast? Depending on where the ceremony is you may need to help elderly guests get up and down steep hills. All in all it was a great event for the couple. If the facility took care of a couple minor issues then they would have no problem being one of the best wedding facilities in the capital region!

We took our 12 year old granddaughter. Good family fun with lots of laughs. Nice job to all. Prices are affordable.

The sit down portion of the meal was a bit disappointing being they pre set the salad course, warm salad, not my thing. For my entree I had the sliced sirloin with roasted tomatoes and mashed potatoes. The flavor was good but it was served tepid. I can imagine how hard it is to pull off perfect food for 300+ attendees. I took note of the direction of the manager to the service staff, he knew what he was doing. Overall this caterer left me with a positive impression.
