Timber Lodge

Steak sucked! Extremely expensive. Lobster was only thing eatable. Have not been back since. Guy at front desk was a smart ass!!0

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.

Went for a business dinner and brought the Germans. It was an excellent experience. So many specials. Almost too many. lol

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.

Entertained my business partners at The Timber Lodge tonight and we were very impressed with the 5 star service we received from the hostess and our waitress. Very high quality of food here. You get a lot for the money and our steaks and lobster were some of the best we ever had! Be sure to have dinner here, very very impressed with this place! Kevin M

Still my favorite restauraunt after over 25 years! Food and service are excellent. Everyone is always so nice, they treat you like family. Juicy steak cooked perfectly every time. Great job chefs! Very nice wine selections also. Warm and cozy place. You'll love it!

Had the prime rib dinner with a wedge salad and rice. The salad was huge, fresh and delicious. The rice had a great flavor and the prime rib was cooked perfectly, with a wonderful seasoning. Our server was exceptional and waited for us to finish our salad before bringing out the entree. Set in an old lodge setting complete with a fireplace was a perfect way to end a busy holiday week.

Although the food was quite tasty, we were rushed through what I wanted to be a romantic birthday celebration. After ordering drinks and appetizers, the appetizers came well before waters and/or cocktails. We had not even had a few bites of our appetizer, sausage stuffed peppers (very good), and our salads came. We were sat at a tiny 2 person booth so by now out table top was full. We put our appetizer aside to have our salads. Then came the basket of bread (over microwaved and tough) and bread plates with no where to put it. If the server had waited until we were finished eating our appetizer while it was hot, she could have taken away our plates with plenty of room for bread and salads. Believe it or not (we timed it) not 4 minutes later our food came. I was feeling very rushed and overwhelmed with trying to make room for everything! Nothing had been cleared away. We had not been given time to finish anything! A busser came by and we just had them take our salads away, barely touched to make room for our large dinner plates with gigantic baked potato plates as well. We tried to eat the rest of the appetizer but it was cold by now so we asked to box it up. The plate left but the box had to stay....you guessed it, on the table! Our waitress left us wanting another cocktail during dinner, but that order was not taken until after we had finished our meal. Very disappointed. I would expect better service from a meal that cost well over $150!

This is a good restaurant. Very nice ambiance, lots of smaller dining areas instead of a big dining room. Lots of different menu items. The Lodi for is a delicious appetizer. We have had steak, seafood, burgers, salads and lots of the sides. It's a good anniversary or special night out. The service is very good as well.
