Lager & Vine

Sadly disappointed. Was really hoping to find a new spot in Medina. I hear that the quality of food is different than the Hudson location. I’ve ordered flatbread there 2x (gave it a second chance) but came up disappointed again. Does have s great little bar to stop by and grab a glass of wine

This review is for our most recent visit on ¹²⁄₂₂. We have eaten here a couple times before and always enjoyed the food and service. This past visit will be our last. Based on past experience I suggested Lager & Vine to my family. All 12 were seated by 5:45 and the place was at most 50% full. We ordered 3 appetizers and 2 salads between 12 people. At 7:00 our dinners were served. 45 minutes after placing our dinner order. 3 of the first 4 dishes served were barely luke warm to cool. Poor food on top of a long wait only compounds the problem.
Went face to face with owner who insisted it was 25 minutes from order in to order out but he could not explain the multiple cool dishes — which wouldn’t have happened if the food had actually been turned around in 25 minutes. He never did apologize to my party for the wait or poor food. Arrogant owners who can’t believe they did any wrong are the restaurants worst ambassador. He may think his s**t doesn’t stink, but on this night his food did.

We went to Lager and Vine as a family for a Saturday lunch. We all ordered different things from the menu and they were all very good. Service was excellent also. We will be back!

Fabulous dining experience! Server was great. Food was top-​notch. Will definitely return.

Excellent food and service! Yum! Great to see non-​bar/​fried food in Medina. We will be back!

Lots of options for large, medium, or small meals, plates to share and plates to keep to yourself. Nothing groundbreaking in my personal opinion, but it has a wonderful cozy atmosphere.

Great food, the beef tip pasta is my favorite. Great wine and craft beer selection. The homemade tater tots are awesome.

Not impressed. The interior is dated, the food is amateur-​ish and overpriced. Not much flavor. Service was good though. Will not be back.

First time dining at this establishment. Was much larger than I thought it would be. My husband and I went without our children and I probably wouldn’t take them here– seems to be a more upscale, quiet place to dine. Food was really fantastic. My husband had the scallop dish and I had the hanger steak dish. My steak was cooked perfectly and we were both very happy with our dishes. The only thing that I found (slightly) bothersome was that the lighting was a little too dark. Very nice place, would definitely come here again.

I’ve just visited Lager & Vine for the second time and for the second time I’ve had a really satisfying meal. The menu is chock full of well-​crafted entrees, with no pretention. The food is as good as it sounds. I loved the burger as well as the Voodoo Chicken tacos I tried last night. And don’t get me started on the tots! Okay, I’m started… they’re not Ore’Ida, that’s for sure! Huge, crispy, soft, delicious tater tots! I also had a really great wedge salad. Nice size.
I enjoy the wine and beer list, too, there’s always something new to try.
My only con is that some of the dishes aren’t priced appropriately. My friend ordered a caprese salad for $ 7 and we both thought the portion was chincy. She was finished with it before I even finished cutting up my wedge.
The service is wonderful– friendly and breezy.
Update 8.14.15: OMG try the Flatbread Blanco. It’s a salty, cheesy heaven. So delicious.

Food atmosphere and service first rate. Full menu, not bar food at all. What a pleasant surprise in Medina.
Get the homemade tater tots — there out of this world.

The chicken tacos (supposed to be spicy but weren’t very) were really good. The appetizer, chips with gorgonzola and bacon, was good but too rich and salty by far. We ate about half and had to send it away. The bartenders were nice. I would definitely make a return trip.

My boyfriend checked this place out when he knew we were going to visit family and we knew we had to come here for a dinner.
My last evening while on holiday, we took my family out for dinner here. We reserved the day before with no problems. The day of, they called us back and asked us if we were fine in a booth that normally fits 4 for our group of 5 due to a wedding party reservation. Turns out this was just fine and we were well taken care of.
Located right on the beautiful Medina Square, Lager & Vine is a wonderful and classy restaurant and is impeccably decorated. Service is also quite good – I tend to get annoyed in the US when their service provides too much attention (I know, something silly to even complain about) but I found that here they made a good balance of paying enough attention to get you drinks, take your order, etc. but also didn’t hover too much.
The food and drink was out of this world! There a numerous delicious wines and beers available. I stuck to beer that night and was delighted with all the different local beers avaialble. Both my boyfriend and I tried the sampler of beers (4 or 5 different kinds) and clearly had our favorites (among those IPAs). For food, we had the pretzels and Lager & Vine House Chips. Everyone loved the Chips (I had one with no meat and it was great!) and the pretzels with the cheese and mustard sauces were to die for! For the main course, I had the Tiquila Chipotle Shrimp Tacos and loved these! Although it didn’t include much, it was delicious… also make sure to get the homemade tator tots – I’m normally not such a huge fan but they hit the spot. Everyone else was just as pleased with their dinners as I was. Unfortunately, we were all so stuffed that none of us could fit dessert in (I guess there’s not always room for dessert?).
Will definitely go back again to try some of their other items – they have plenty of fish and vegetarian options for me!

We attended on a Friday night, and it was quite busy. That said, our waitress was pretty chilly and inattentive. The food is American fare: much of which you can find in other local restaurants, done better. When a restaurant states they are a gastropub, I would expect to see more exotic proteins than chicken, beef and lobster — especially at the prices they wanted. Generally, the experience was fine, but I probably won’t take guests there, or go back myself.

The first time we visited it was alright the salmon with some of the best I’ve had. Second time around wasn’t so great. The already small portions seem to get smaller and service was something to be desired. Lost reservations and slow service for drinks and refills was something to be addressed. Overall the food is good but you don’t get much for what you pay for.

Carol and I had burgers — bacon burger and bleu burger. Carol had fries and thought they were very good. Nice and hot too. I had the tater tots and they are to die for.
Both burgers were very good and cooked as ordered. Both were «knife and fork» style burgers, unless wearing a bib.
French onion soup was very tasty and served nice and hot. It seemed a bit skimpy on cheese and onions though. Otherwise our review would be 5 stars.

Good food. S-​L-​O-​W service for a Saturday and we were the ONLY table. Watched our waiter talk to a table of people he knows for 15 minutes while we waited for our check.

I stumbled on this place by accident. This place is awesome! I will be back! I had the burger with an IPA and both were great. I ordered the burger medium and it came out med-​well but tasted great non the less. The meal came with tater tots that were huge!
Beer list is great. The décor is very hipster with the barn wood walls
Try it out if you’re in medina

Stopped in for my wife’s birthday lunch at noon on Friday. We were the only ones there but a few others came while we were there. As an IPA fan, I loved the draft beer list! Wife had a berry lemonade which she raved about.
Now for the food porn… To say the Bacon burger was decadent is an understatement! Great flavor, juicy, cooked just right! Gives b spot a run for its money in terms of top flight burgers in town. We’ll likely be back to try out dinner menu soon.
Only complaint was the bathrooms. Downstairs, dingy, kind of gross to be honest. Only hesitation to go back would be the direct violation of Anthony Bourdain’s rule on clean bathrooms.

First, I love places that do small plates. It’s so hard to finish portions at a restaurant now.
The beer and wine selection here fits with the name. Don’t worry, they have fun drinks here as well! I had the sangria which was pretty good but had a little too much orange juice in it. Still delightful though.
I had the lunch combo with the lobster bisque and the grilled cheese. The bisque was quite good. Very creamy with a hearty helping of seafoody goodness. The grilled cheese on the other hand was pretty boring. Just some bread and kraft singles like I would have made at home for my niece and nephew. I was hoping for a little more pizazz… maybe bacon or fancy cheese? Dipping the sandwich into the soup saved the day though.
Overall I loved the vibe and most of my order. I would definitely try this place out again!
