    Alaska IPA
    Gail S.

    Just spent Friday Happy Hour at Timber Lodge. A friend recommended it and the Happy Hour menu looked good. The patio was small and was attached to the front of the brick building so it didn't look very cool so we chose to sit inside in the bar area, which is where you could order from the Happy Hour menu. We had a choice of 3 small booths or the bar so we sat at a booth. Our Server Allie was very kind and highly efficient. Everything was brought out quickly and she kept checking on us throughout the meal. We ordered the 5 meatball appetizer, which was delicious and enough for sharing. We also tried the steakhouse burger, which I found to be very salty but cooked perfect and the Philly Steak that was served fresh and loaded with peppers, onions and cheese. There was a small selection of draft beers and some bottles and cans. We ordered the Alaska Brewery IPA, Truth IPA, a martini and the Skyy Citrus Cosmos, that seemed watered down and not much flavor. We ended our meal with the Italian lemon cream cake that was the perfect size and not too sweet. Other than the salty burger and watered down Skyy Citrus Cosmos, everything was pretty good.

    Great food amazing taste the steak just melts in my mouth I got a medium rare steak, fries and fried onions super good. The service is really nice. The waitress was really energetic and really brings up the mood inside. It's like a old-fashioned steakhouse kind of deal. really good definitely coming back.

    We were passing through Medina and really wanted to enjoy a nice romantic date at one of Medina's finest establishments... huge mistake on our part. $375 later (not including tip), this was the worst mistake of a stop. We were seated promptly at 8 pm when we arrived with no reservations. However, we didn't see our server for 15+ minutes. By this point our server has walked by us once or twice but never acknowledged our presence or even dropped off waters. We got up to ask the hostess to be seated elsewhere and she came running back rudely stating, "uhhh we're really busy tonight and have a new computer system. You need to be patient." Lol we were astonished - is this what "premium dining" service looks like? Now that kind of attitude is more than warranted for a IHOP or a Wendy's but when you're trying to charge premium costs for such mediocre and tasteless food, you need to hire the right customer service to align with your ridiculous pricing. Ok now on to the food. Omg... we ordered the couples dinner option and we had high hopes. We ordered medium rare, it came well done. We don't send food back so we left it on the table. The lobster was hard and chewy! Never experienced that before. I should've known something was off when I walked by the lobster tank and there were no lobsters in it. The table next to me complained about their food and demanded the steak be removed from their bill. We're not from here so can't recommend an alternative but this was a huge letdown and a very disappointing experience. We would definitely not recommend if you're looking for a romantic dinner option.

    The mashed potatoes are old-school, rich and delicious with blended Asiago cheese!

    Timber Lodge is a delightful, reliable "old school" steakhouse with a great bar and wine list. I've been coming here for the past three to four years, and I've never been disappointed. I really enjoy their prime rib, but their other cuts of meat are also really well prepared. The design and décor of the dining rooms remind me of those my dad used to take me to as a kid in the 70s. Actually, it hearkens back even further - probably to my grandparents' generation. Anyway, it generates a pleasant, nostalgic ambiance - the booths in the bar area and in the main dining room are really cool, ask for one if you can get them. It's also a lot of fun at the bar, and the ladies tending it are lovely and provide great service. My only gripe, and it's not really that big of a deal - I've learned to "slow down" a bit and be a little more patient than I was pre-pandemic - is the fact you can never reserve a table on Friday and Saturday nights and you might have to wait for an hour or more during those times. You can also not order take out then, so if you get an urge for their prime rib on a weekend night be prepared to wait for your table. On the other hand, if you do wait, you'll be well rewarded because it is pretty close to certain that your meal is going to be fantastic.

    The food was not bad. The service was terrible. If Megan is your server, ask for someone else. We felt very ignored as attention was given to the table next to us, where they were drinking a lot. The only way to flag Megan down was when she went over there. It's ok. It's her tip. My dining partner is a very generous tipper and that won't be necessary tonight. What a difference the service makes. We had to ask for water refills, and the bread basket we saw on other tables. I was told because we hadn't ordered salads, our bread would come with the entree. Huh? Who wants it then? But she did bring it once we asked. Portions are large. My friend's scrod dish was quite average. He wasn't thrilled, but loved the asparagus. I had the Lake Walleye, which was huge and covered the length of the plate. There were veggies and rice on the plate, so lots to take home. However the "colossal" baked potato that is ordered as a side, after seeing the world's largest baked potato on another table, was extremely ordinary and in no way "colossal." The food was ok, but not worth the high prices. $10.99 for a bowl of French onion soup? $14.99 for lobster bisque or clam chowder? $36.99 for ribs? And $80 for a 1 LB. lobster tail? The prices were over-the-top, with food and service not matching up. Megan kept going over to the other table. Hello? Took long to get the check and no, we certainly didn't want anything else.

    We were a party of 6 that arrived on a Tuesday night and found the restaurant very crowded, which was extremely surprising to us. The atmosphere is rustic, with lots of wood, stone fireplace, and animal heads all over. There is a nice bar area that has seating as well. We asked for a table in a more quiet area because of the hearing issues of several of us, but the host just seated us in the noisiest section ever, right outside the door all the staff uses to bring food from the kitchen. It was not a table that worked for us at all because we couldn't really talk to one another across the table because of the poor acoustics and the location of our table. Our server was Kim and she was excellent. Service was quick, but not to quick and everything came out as we had ordered it. Most of us started with martinis, and my chocolate one tasted excellent. The menu is extensive, and there are also many options of add ons which were interesting. There were steak and seafood specials of the day. We were served warm rolls while looking at the menu, which were good. I settled on the house salad, filet mignon with garlic butter and the Asiago mashed potatoes. The salad was what a restaurant salad should be. It had lettuce and multiple toppings, including a hard boiled egg. The size was larger than expected and was good. My filet was perfectly cooked at the medium I requested and the mashed potatoes were good. All the food was served hot which is important to me. So why did I give it a 3 star rating, after I raved about the service and food? First, when you ask to be seated somewhere more quiet and you aren't, that's a take away. All the tables in the bar area were open, but they didn't want to seat us there. It would have been a much better experience for us. Second, the lack of prices on the drink menu are an annoyance to me. I don't ever mind spending money on good drinks, but I think it should be disclosed. Also, the server gave a great description of all the specials, but didn't provide any prices. My husband ordered one, and I was a bit stunned at the end when we received the bill. Was that our fault? Of course! We should have asked before ordering, but I have never eaten anywhere where they don't tell you the price of the specials. All in all, good food and service, but lacking big time in ambiance, which at these prices is important.

My friend and I overstayed and we were never kicked out (sorry my guy, the wine was flowing so the convo kept flowing) I had a sauvignon blanc to start which was crisp and delicious.

The ambiance is cute with a few different tables and a communal table for couples/ singles. Bottles of wine adorn the built in library walls and it does seem cozy. I love the original typewriter in the bar area. We sat at the shared table, pulling up QR codes for the menu. We had to flag the only one person serving the entire bar down so that we could order drinks and food. She took our drink order, and then probably about 30 minutes went by after we were eyeing her left and right, it was clear to us that she was too busy or not making eye contact because she couldn't keep up with what was happening. Or at least I thought. After watching her have a full-blown conversation with the other person working there up at the bar area, we finally were able to get some food in, as my bf flagged her down. Olives for $7. A couple had pits that they missed I guess. But only about 12 olives total. Absolutely ridiculous. The BBQ chicken flatbread? Perhaps not. The dough was like a matzoh cracker. The chicken tasted like bland boring boiled chicken. After having been there for about 45 minutes with no food and only a couple of very strong Manhattans that were not well made, I was starting to get loopy so I wolfed down the flatbread even though it tasted like garbage. While I think this spot has a lot of potential, the service was so lackluster in the cutest of little towns, I would not come back.

    I've been hearing about this place for almost 2 years from my BF who used to work here when it was…read moreMedina Steakhouse. When we finally wanted to make a move to go during Valentine's, it was temporarily closed. Alas, we had to wait until the end of year for my birthday when it reopened to try it out. So I my anticipation and expectations were quite high at this point. This place really is more like a 2.5 star BUT I wanted to sprinkle a little recognition to the very solicitous (and attractive) servers as well as available parking. This place is billed as a French restaurant but their updated menu was completely devoid of all French items. This was a major bummer as I love French food and style of cooking. No duck, escargot, confit, nada. It was a bland menu with common Italian dishes. I ordered the pasta carbonara for my entree and was thoroughly disappointed. They used bucatini (while this is one of my fave pasta shapes) which is all wrong for carbonara. There was a lack of sauce as you can see from the picture and no eggy flavor at all. It was drenched in parmesan flakes and they didn't even use guanciale or even pancetta! The portion was too small for a pasta dish and for the high price. Our appetizer of pork belly was delish but I would've gone easier on the frying. BF's entree of spatchcock chicken was great as well. I ate a lot of that instead of my entree... Not impressed that in a place like this, they asked if we wanted to tack on bread service for $5.99. Wow, they can't even include it like most restaurants? Non merci! I look forward to going to a real French restaurant a lot closer to me with real French dishes and perhaps even free bread/rolls, literally SOMEthing. The newer one in Chagrin Falls looks tempting and authentic!
