History
The business is owned by Jacqui Willey. The Alder Street restaurant opened in 1983. Wiley said that students were approximately half of the location's clientele. The business began composting in 2011.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, both locations launched Takeaway Family Dinner. The Alder Street restaurant was sold, demolished, and replaced by apartments. The location ended operations in April 2022. The owner of the Excelsior, a fine dining restaurant on Alder Street, cited the demolition and replacement of Glenwood as a reason for closing Elxelsior in 2022. The building that had housed Glenwood was demolished in December 2022.
