Walking into The Glen in Frisco feels like stepping into a dream carefully choreographed to delight every sense. The moment you pass through the door, the world outside seems to disappear. Overhead, lanterns glow like suspended fireflies, a canopy of flowering vines weaves through the ceiling, and the warm shimmer of chandeliers casts a soft light over plush velvet seating.
Every corner feels intentionally designed—there’s a gold swing draped in florals that practically screams “photo op,” a pink phone booth nestled in blossoms begging for a selfie, and hidden corners that reward discovery with unique lighting and angles. Even the tables are staged with a kind of theatrical precision, each one offering a slightly different perspective on the room’s whimsical elegance. It’s a space that doesn’t just welcome Instagram photos—it demands them.
The menu at The Glen mirrors this visual and sensory spectacle. Seafood is treated like royalty: oysters arrive on ice in perfect symmetry, crab claws are stacked like edible sculptures, and lobster rolls shimmer with butter and fresh herbs. The mains are equally commanding—Chilean sea bass with its delicate, flaky texture, braised short ribs that nearly melt off the bone, and wood-grilled steaks seared to perfection.
Shareable dishes are presented with flourish: truffle fries glisten under a light dusting of Parmesan, chimichurri Brussels sprouts practically glow with fresh herbs, and lobster mac & cheese is creamy, rich, and unmistakably decadent. Every dish is plated with an awareness of the visual experience, as though the kitchen knows that presentation matters as much as taste…
