The Cabin Restaurant

It was our first visit and it was fantastic! I had the shrimp and grits and it was not the typical dish (that usually includes chorizo) it was served with collard greens and fried green tomatoes! The shrimp were a very nice size and the green tomatoes were cooked just right! My husband had the Scampi’s and they were EXCELLENT! They have an o.k. wine list. The dessert was also just as tasty! Will definitely be back!

We had a reservation for 4 at 7:30 on a Saturday night. The food was outstanding, especially the prime rib and the pork chop. Sadly the band starts at 8. While they were really good, they were also excessively amped. We couldn’t hear ourselves think. My phone showed it to be 80 decibels and we were in the back room. A vacuum cleaner at close range is 70. I will never take that late a booking again. They need to let diners dine, keep the sound down till 9. Totally spoiled the experience for anyone who wanted a conversation over dinner.

Went on a Saturday night to see a band. First the people at the front were not friendly and we were told «there were no tables» we went to the bar and fended for ourselves to get a seat. It seemed like we were really putting people out to help us. The bar area was undersized and drinks were pretty expensive. I got mussels for and appetizer many of them were unopened and some of them did not taste right (I felt sick after eating them on through the following Monday). We waited for an hour for our entrees. I got pretzel crusted walleye which was seriously underwhelming. People I was with had a couple pasta dishes they really liked. For the money there are probably hundreds of places you can go in northeast Ohio that would be better.

The Cabin has a quaint and cozy atmosphere. It literally feels as though you are inside a log cabin in the middle of wine country or upscale ski resort. We were there for dinner on a Saturday night, which also came with fantastic live entertainment! The food was a bit underwhelming, as well as the service. Come to The Cabin for ambiance and character more than the menu.

The shrimp was not deveined. The bartender (Doug) was inattentive or deaf and rude. I guess I didn’t buy enough to get good service. The staff and service was rude, at best. Only the entertainment was good, but I’ll see them again when they play at the Willowick Lounge again. I’ve never been treated so badly at a restaurant. When I left I was crying. I discreetly went into the empty dining room away from the lounge to complain about the bartender Doug and I was admonished by at least 4 people and ordered toelsewhere leave! I cried while driving home. I was the designated driver and I don’t drink alcohol. But, I believe the staff does while on duty. When I was a bartender we couldn’t drink while on duty.
I only went there to see the band, Dust My Broom, but I will see them elsewhere. Never again at The Cabin!
I posted nice pictures of The Cabin from the outside and videos of the band on Facebook page.
I was posting nice things and giving them free publicity.

I’m now going to pray for them. They really hurt my feelings and I was being nice.

EXCELLENT!!! We went to celebrate my husband 25^th anniversary at his job. We had our rehearsal dinner here 5 plus years ago. After reading recent reviews we were wondering what went wrong with this place. Our experience tonight was great. We both got french onion soup. Honestly the best I’ve ever had. I got the seared ahi tuna dinner and it was outstanding. My husband got one of the specials, roast duck and he love it. We will be back. I disagree with all the negative reviews. I do have to say the restaurant wasn’t busy like it used to be. The prices are a bit high for the area but honestly our dinner tonight was worth every penny.

Good food, decent service, friendly staff.
Overpriced, the tables are child height with matching chairs, the floor is uneven, and, oh yeah, it’s way overpriced.
I did enjoy feeling young though… so there’s that. In my late 30s, so I’ll call that a win… albeit an expensive one.
Would go again in a bind.

Good food. Service is good, nothing spectacular. Once we were asked what the occasion was, as if we need one to be foodies (lol). Pricey and may really benefit from lowering prices because the food is not comparable to other restaurants at this price point.

Very Nice atmosphere and people food, coulda been better VERY pricy but overall, a pretty nice restaurant

Went here for Thanksgiving. I thought it was very good. I can’t recall the name of the dish I got, but it was chicken cooked with a lemon white wine butter sauce, very good. Everyone liked their dish. The lobster bisque was popular.

Zero stars this place is junk and way over priced. 34 $ for a steak that was thin cooked wrong and full of gristle. Better steak at Applebee’s thats how bad it was

So, my friend Carole came back into town from another lumber jacking excursion in Vancouver. I took her here because The Cabin has a nice cozy northern woodsy feel to it. She was impressed with the décor. We were both hungry as bears, so walking into an establishment that greets you with a giant bear… we knew we came to the right place. Also, I heard my piano teacher performs here. But our hostess, Terri, informed us that the piano had been sacramentally burned in one of their fireplaces after the establishment had been cursed by a Jamaican voodoo priest. Not sure how all that happened & why they had to go to extreme measures, but they seem to have gotten to the bottom of it, I guess. As I said, we were hungry, like on the verge of hangry, so stuffed peppers to start was definitely a good call. I got chicken pot pie & Carole got the pot roast. She gave the place a 3 cause she expected the food to be more «creative». Not sure why she needs an art show for something that we just devour, but that’s her opinion. I liked the food. And desert was AWESOME! Carole had chocolate chocolate chocolate something, and myself, the coconut tart with ice cream. We destroyed ourselves and pretty much died the rest of the evening as worthless blobs…

Love this place! Whenever I am visiting home I enjoy stopping by for a great martini and fantastic food! Best place in the area!

We had a great time at the Cabin this weekend! We dined next to the fireplace on a cold snowy night so that was very much welcomed.
I ordered the filet with mashed potatoes and the steak was perfect. I’m glad I ate the mashed potatoes as I was clearly over served in the bar later :)
We ended up dancing the night away to some live music with a lovely male/​female duo who played many of the oldies. I hung out with a group of ladies who were all 65 yrs and older so yeah, I don’t mind Motown in my 30’s :)
Take your Mom and Dad or uncle who still enjoys live music for some good times on Friday nights at the Cabin.
If you are in your 20s or 30s, don’t expect to find a date here.

Hadn’t been here for several years and was looking for a place to dine on my birthday because I wanted a steak ;-) Decided on the Cabin. This was a very delightful evening and I wish I could remember the waitresses name because she was outstanding. Met the chef and the new managers. This was the first day they had «Martini Madness» so most martinis were $ 5.00 so how can you go wrong, we through back quite a few. It’s the Wednesday promotion and from the looks of the place, it works. Place was packed. Older crowd so I fit right in. I can certainly recommend this restaurant.
Food was very good, done to perfection.
We dined on steak, prime rib, perch and pizza. No complaints. Party of five.

This was the go to place for the moneyed crowd when I was growing up. It has burned down and been rebuilt since then, but it is still good. Our party ordered the ice burg lettuce wedge salad and the chop salad. Both were enjoyed. We also ordered the shrimp scampi, grilled veal medallions, and the sea scallops. Everyone really appreciated their meal. All the food was well prepared, and the vegetables were fresh and cooked to perfection. The only thing that wasn’t top notch where the «french fries», ordered in lieu of a baked potato for one entrée. Too thick to be thoroughly crispy, this was the one item not quite to our dinner’s taste. Mixed drinks were strong (better be for the price) and house wine was good. This was a rather pricy meal (I’d give $$$$), but worth it on the special occasion.

We ate here yesterday with another couple. It was unimpressive.
Stuffed mushrooms– boring
Calamari — small portion, decent taste
scampi– this was surprisingly good
lobster tails-​HUGE disappointment, even by OH standards
sirloin-​no flavor. I had to use A1 in order to eat it.
Service: excellent– waitress was great.
WE WERE THE ONLY PATRONS. The entire place was empty save ONE person at the bar. The building itself it actually very nice.
Dinner for four was over $ 200…NEVER again. Better food can be at at TGIFridays; and, for the price they charge here… it’s a downright swindle.

So, I’ve been wanting to stop at «The Cabin» for quite a while, and frankly, it was okay, but I think I’ll enjoy it more when I’m older… much older. (Mainly, because being in my 40’s, I think my wife and I were the youngest people there besides the waitresses:)
The prices are about what you’d expect for a place with well-​dressed waiter/​waitresses, nice crystal and a higher-​class vibe. I have to say, the food was good. We both had the Chicken Parmigiana and it was very well done. The house salad even had something I never thought I’d enjoy; blue cheese. I usually hate that, but this was actually very tasty. My tastebuds were blown:)
The menu, I have to admit, is a tad limited; it reminds of a an old steak house that your grandparents would go out to when you were a kid. A bit formal, but simple fare, and, as you can expect, the décor is… cabin-​ish. The place was not what I’d expected, especially for a place with a man-​sized carved wooden bear out front.
Now, did I get my money’s worth; frankly, it could have been a little better. I mean, the service was GREAT, but the food was… okay. I’m a big one for getting what you pay for, so I think, for what we paid, I think it could have been a little more, but this place has been there a long while, so I think they’re doing something right.
So, if you’d like to take your lady (or gent) out for a nice evening of some semi-​formal dining with a little old-​fashioned steak house flavor, give The Cabin a try, just leave the termites at home;)

My experience at the cabin was very disappointing and I do not plan on ever going back. They charge upscale prices for items that borderline on fast food quality. I ordered the tilapia and it tasted like nothing. It literally had no taste.
In addition the waitress came over with the desert tray, left it at another table, and then disappeared without showing us the deserts. She did not return for 20 minutes and my family and I were left wondering when we were going to be given the check. It was an awkward experience to say the least.
On the positive side the décor inside is nice.

This is my first visit to the restaurant. The interior looks very 80’s. I am not too impressed with the steak. There’s no flavor to the steak. The only flavor was from the char marks.
It’s a okay restaurant for me. It’s very pricey for a restaurant. Also the waitress didn’t give us the special salad price which is less if ordered an entrée.
Been there, don’t think I am going back.
