Two words here...Bourbon & Bartender!! Orphan barrel bourbons available here & "R" is the sweetest. She recognizes and greets everyone, polite and prompt and informative...I could go on and on. Only sampled a few menu items...they are very good, some carry a heavier price tag. read more

Enjoyed this restaurant immensely. We usually sit at the bar and have dinner it's a little more relaxing the bartender is amazing handling everything. read more

I wanted to try Corkscrew Saloon because it's located in a cool old house, but I had a great salad for lunch. I ordered the filet mignon fajita salad with olive oil for dressing, and it was outstanding... ingredients were fresh and well prepared. We had good service from our server for lunch and she was very attentive. Since I was visiting the area, I'm not sure if I will have the chance to visit Corkscrew Saloon again, but if I ever do, I'd like to check out the rest of the restaurant: patio and bar. I believe they have some good wine choices as well. read more

I don't know what has changed here but My wife and I have been here a couple of times in the last couple of months and the food has been great!! The food used to be mediocre at best. read more

Highly recommend this restaurant. The chef makes great food. Love the menu selections.

We just had dinner there. The pork chops were fantastic. Pecans with peaches in the sauce. Delicious and very tender. Great portion at a reasonable price. My wife had the salmon and it too was excellent. The service was great too. No complaints. We'll be back for sure. read more

Great food. Got the ribeye. Done perfectly. Fantastic atmosphere. Sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather. Good drink menu, nice selection of wines and foods. Everything was delicious and our waitress was perfect. Stephanie was our server and she was delightful...very nice, good memory, and came to check on us just the right amount of times. Highly recommend visiting here even just for drinks. Ask for Stephanie, very pleasant cordial young lady. Good service is half the experience! read more

Corkscrew Saloon - Seafood Near Me - Medina, Ohio

Chef Ryan gave us a reservation for 18 people in the Victorian room for my daughter's post-wedding dinner on 3 days notice after our previous venue closed and wouldn't answer phone calls. They provided 5 tables plus a cake table in the beautifully decorated space. Everyone was able to order separately off of the menu - the appetizers, drinks, and entrees were all first class. Our server Tom did a great job keeping all of us completely satisfied. read more

What are we missing? Recently had dinner at this restaurant and the food was just bad. It was Mother's Day so I guess they serve a set menu. My dinner included a fresh green salad. This included room temp greens with 2 grape tomatoes and 2 banana pepper rings. The Prime Rib meal was not good it looked more like liver than prime rib. My husband ordered Chicken Parmigiana and that was also not good, 2 thick pieces of chicken breast over pasta that was more like noodles with sauce that tasted like it was out of a jar. The chicken was rubbery with no taste. None of our food was warm, forget about hot. When the best thing about a meal at a restaurant is the dinner roll, you have to wonder. We really are not picky people and have eaten at this restaurant in the past. Definitely will not be going back. read more

Had high hopes for Corkscrew, but sadly it did not turn out to be an enjoyable experience. In town visiting friends and chose Corkscrew based on Yelp. Our waitress was clearly distracted and a bit aggravated. Ordered an app that never came. Ordered veal schnitzel but they were out. Ordered the duck with risotto and it came to the table surprisingly fast. Too fast. The duck didn't cook long enough to render all the fat and make it crispy. Any crispiness was lost in the cherry sauce. Duck as a result was chewy. Risotto was VERY undercooked. Not just a little under or al dente - grossly, almost raw rice undercooked. I wanted to tell the waitress but didn't want to wait for another order while my company ate theirs. My wife's scalloped potatoes were bland and under-seasoned. Don't these chefs taste their food before serving? So while the location is lovely, the food was not good at all. We'll likely not be back when we visit again. read more

We keep coming back again and again. The Osso Bucco is fantastic. The Boursan mushroom caps are the greatest appetizer. Daily specials are chef level and delicious. read more

This was the first time for us. The Easter brunch buffet was amazing. We loved everything and Tom took great care of us without being intrusive. We will definitely be back. read more

One of our favorite restaurants unique setting inside of Victorian house or enjoy the beautiful patio in warm weather Ryan the owner does an amazing job and he is an exceptional chef We hosted my sons rehearsal dinner there and they did a phenomenal job Pasta Newburgh, fillet & chicken Parmesan with gnocchi some of ourfavorite dishes read more

My husband and I decided to try this place out for an anniversary dinner. We sat upstairs and Tiffany was our server. Immediately we felt as if our server was overwhelmed as she didn't even acknowledge us for about 10 minutes. She wasn't over the top friendly and her presence felt very rehearsed and rushed. We ordered the scallops Rockefeller which were delightful. We then proceeded to share a salad before entrees.....when the salads arrived the dressing appeared to be a balsamic. We questioned our server because the menu described the salad coming with a Gorgonzola dressing...she noted it was balsamic....we then brought to her attention what the menu described and she immediately blamed the kitchen. Overall, we felt the entrees weren't well thought out.....for example; serving Hawaiian tuna with scalloped potatoes? At any rate, we weren't blown away with the food and the service wasn't up to par. read more

I have eaten here several times and have never been disappointed in the Screw! I had the chance to meet the owner as I am doing my rehearsal dinner here. It was so easy to plan and they were very friendly. While we planned everything we sat outside and enjoyed the super nice patio. Best in medina for sure. I had the lunch menu's salmon burger and was very impressed. The rueban was great too. I love the German chocolate cake too. It is a must try. Give the screw a try if you are a Medinian! read more

See all

BLT flatbread was very tasty and the pasta newburg was outstanding. Strip steak was a tad over cooked but still good. Enjoyed the outdoor seating although umbrellas don't tilt to help keep shade over your table so it can get quite warm. Spacing of tables was comfortable and staff was very flexible if you wanted a different spot than where they picked. read more

After years of being intrigued with the look of the Corkscrew Saloon, my husband & I finally planned a date night; made reservations & went! All I can say is this place is amazing from the time you walk through the door!! Very unique atmosphere. Gorgeous woodwork- and the meals and service is beyond amazing!! Great food!! Wonderful staff!! Great experience!! We will definitely be back! read more

Corkscrew Saloon - Chocolate Espresso Martini!! - Seafood Near Me - Medina, Ohio

I had been in this place before but it's been a couple yrs. Stopped in on a Friday in the prime of dinner rush. We did not have to wait for a table. We opted to sit indoors as opposed to their patio. Hostess sat us in a quaint dining room. The server was a true professional! He was so very polite and most importantly "spot on" with every aspect of the night. I watched serve all the other tables in his section and he did not miss a beat and every customer seemed as pleased as we were. Drinks from the bar were very good. The have a full bar as well as tons of wine and martinis. I order the tuna and it was sooo good. Very generous portions! It's sushi grade tuna, so it's top notch! Every other aspect of dining exp was great and we will go back again. So I highly recommend the corkscrew saloon in medina. Cheers! read more

Heard this place was previously a brothel so naturally had to go scope the place out. Made a reservation for 5:30 and was instantly seated so pleased 10/10. Food came out very quickly with a delightful flower presentation. Waitress advised that the flower was edible! Ordered the steak off the specials and was pleased with the cook of the steak as well as the house special potatoes. Salsa on the mahi mahi could have been more plentiful. read more

The interior ambiance is both cozy and romantic. Stopped in for a quick lunch , service was quick and food was good. I had lettuce wraps, my friend had a chicken dish ( not sure of the name), but she ate it and said it was wonderful. read more

Great staff but crowded dining and overpriced food. My medium filet was cooked well done. No pink whatsoever. My boyfriend ordered the prime rib and no au jus. Came for comedy night which overall was a nice bonus except the seating was way too crowded... you are seated like a funeral parlor! Limited drinks from a makeshift bar and you have nowhere to set your drink which is served in a plastic cup. Disappointed. read more

My wife and I were there last night as part of a reunion of old radio guys and their wives. Stacy was our server, and was very attentive to the group and did an excellent job. With a group that large, it could be like herding cats, but food was delivered accurately, hot, and drinks were refilled promptly. The food was excellent, and the hospitality warm and inviting. Gotta come back, just the two of us for a quiet dinner. Thanks to all. read more

Had a nice quiet lunch here today. I was the only patron in the bar. I tried a glass of the Ohio Brewing Scotch Ale. It was a little rich at first, with strong notes of caramel, but it grew on me as the glass slowly disappeared. The bartender was very friendly, and she let me sample a batch of her homemade sangria which was quite smooth. For my lunch I went with the BLT flatbread. It was very tasty with plenty of bacon chunks; however, my only complaint was that it was a bit chewy. There was only one small TV in the bar, and nothing was on worth watching. There was no music either, so the ambiance was a bit quiet for my taste. That said, it seemed like a nice place with good food, so I'd like to go back again and try something else. read more

Corkscrew Saloon - BLT flatbread. Yum. - Seafood Near Me - Medina, Ohio

1st visit Flat iron steak done perfect Trio of seafood good but too much for 1 person Risotto was too creamy and asparagus was over cooked Great atmosphere Attentive server Will def return again read more

I've been to the Corkscrew Saloon many times and never have I had anything but a wonderful experience. The outdoor patio is beautiful in nice weather and the indoor seating is a treat inside an old century home. I've had both steak and sea food from Corkscrew and each time it was been thoughtfully prepared. I personally enjoy their salmon. Their stuffed peppers are my favorite for appetizers. They can get busy, especial around holidays or special occasions so it's always best to make reservations. Watch for St. Patty, Valentine, ect day specials as well. read more

Solid 4 stars. Only reason it's not 5 stars, is the location. Service and food quality has always be very good on every visit. If they could raze the abandoned building next-door, it would really help the environment. read more

Great atmosphere. The food was standard fine dining. We ordered the appetizers and meals. My son loved his pasta dish! Too full for dessert. Our server was efficient. read more

The Corkscrew definitely is a great place to visit, there was a charm to the establishment that made it feel different when we arrived. The service tram was always at the table at the right moments providing a great experience, the the food made the dining experience an evening to remember. BTW try the bread pudding, it was very good. We will be back often. read more

I've been here twice now and each time have had a great meal. Service was wonderful. Last visit was New Years Eve and we had reservations and got right in. With this restaurant - the only thing I wish is that the rooms upstairs had a little more ambiance for romantic diners wanting to find that special place. This really could be the "it" spot for most .... but still great dining experience. read more

Wanted to try this place for awhile..... little disappointed. Did not realize where you eat is in an old house and you are eating in a space of a bedroom, assumed eating areas would be open. First, we were sat next to a screaming baby on our date night, dropping our own kids off so we asked to be moved. It's just very uncomfortable eating with others in such small rooms, very awkward and not what we expected. We just ordered appetizers and they were good but nothing memorable to make me want to go back. Maybe we'll check out the patio in the summer but not interested in going back to the restaurant area. read more

I would definitely give The Corkscrew Saloon a solid 4 stars if it weren't for the prices. As a vegan, I greatly appreciated that the creation of this menu was really well thought out to serve many types of dietary needs and palates. There is a lot of heavy meat dishes (mussels, duck, liver....good lord). But hey, there are some tasty options for us veggie folks too, Yay!! I ordered the Mushroom Ravioli, which is sauteed with tomatoes, peppers, spinach, vegan soy chicken, and a balsamic sauce. It was a heavier dish than I was really in the mood for, but I wanted to give it a try. I thought this was really delicious, and had lots of flavors complimenting one another. My issue was that I feel this is about a $14 entree, not a $22 entree. That's a bit much. My husband ordered the Potato Gnocchi with vegan sausage. He described the dish as "okay", but I'll tell you it looked pretty good. I was busy with my own so I didn't give it a taste. Again, the issue here would be cost. The entree is listed as $18, and with the vegan sausage, comes to a whopping $24. Ouch! We are not opposed to paying more for some good vegan options, and again, I appreciate the effort of these offerings. I'm just not sure that we will return. read more

HORRIBLE! From first drink, to last bite - really bad. First, do the bartenders know what a drink is supposed to taste like? SEABREEZE - MY FAVORITE DRINK ABSOLUTELY MURDERED BY THIS PLACE. I did not tase: cran, grapefruit, or vodka - terrible, I mean awful. And when I tell the waitress I don't want another and she brings one anyway, I can't help but think she's trying to jack up her tip. (especially later on when I was overcharged $10 for an entree) Next, ALL the food was only barely warm, some of it room temp. Except the soup which was hot but FLAVORLESS . Their house potatoes (a dish easily kept HOT) were COLD. What the holy hell is going on in that kitchen? Maybe don't go to restaurants that are typically closed on this day of the week? Definitely will not go here again - EVER. So disappointing. read more

So wanted this place to be good since it's in our town. Food was sub par for the price. Felt like bar food. Sat outside and unfortunate did not feel clean with dead flies and goose feces read more

We live right up the street so visit pretty regularly. Never disappointed - food and service is great. Even if we don't have a reservation, they always accommodate us. read more

Something new in the very lacking Medina restaurant selection. A bit on the pricey side but there entree sandwiches are reasonably priced. Service was prompt and courteous. I don't think we will take the kids next time to save some money. Overall a nice atmosphere, they could make better use of the space, and get a bit more seating. I didn't like I had to squeeze by the high top tables to get to the restroom. Justin Kresty read more

The food here was amazing and the atmosphere was pretty fun. We were a party of 4 and each of us loved our meals. Pricey but everything was fresh. Made a great date night location. Not really ideal for young children. read more

Wow! Incredible food and service. I couldn't have been more pleased. If you haven't gone here, it's a must. My dish was some of the best we've had out in a while. Reservations are a must! read more

All of our food was delicious and the service was superb. We ordered two appetizers, one being mussels and they did not come out when the chef had originally wanted them to be served, so he did not charge us. We were not unhappy, but the chef was...They were DELICIOUS! The best we have had in years. All of our food was wonderful and reasonably priced. We are returning tomorrow to celebrate a friend's birthday. We can hardly wait! read more

I do not know how I have lived in this area for the better part of a decade and I've never, ever seen this place. It's huge! It's an old Victorian mansion, complete with fireplaces. Super cool atmosphere, reminded me of a spot in Little Italy. We went there on a whim, I hadn't looked at the menu in months, and we had our daughter with us. I was NOT expecting the prices to be as high as they were, especially since it's high for the area, but hey, I won't let that deter me. They weren't crazy, insane prices, just not what I expect for a mid-week, non-date-night dinner. Soooo not the restaurant's fault, totally mine, but I think it should have more than 2 dollar signs! I ordered a Greek Salad with chicken, my daughter got the pierogy app, and my husband ordered Chicken Parm. We had no alcohol or dessert. We did order French Onion soup x2. Our bill was $60 (before tip). The food itself was enjoyable. Not the best I've ever had, but good. THe soup was a bit salty and tasted like maybe it had too much worchestershire OR may have been made with anchovy? Pierogies were from Ohio City Pasta, and I'm normally a huge fan, but these had a VERY odd taste. THey were just red potato and cheddar... I thought my daughter was just being picky, but I did not like them either. Our server was very nice, I could overhear her playing consultant to the other tables in our little nook - she was very knowledgeable on the food and the drink menu. Here is where I start to get nitpicky. My husband and I both worked as servers over the years, and maybe we spot things more than most, so take it with a grain of salt. :) 1. When we were seated, in a super cute little front room, the hostess did not ask if we'd like a kid's menu. Neither did the server. I was going to ask, but my daughter already saw pierogies on the app menu. But, I mean, my kid is 10. Yes, I could've asked, but frankly I shouldn't have to. That bugged me. 2. If I am paying nearly $75 for dinner, including tip - basically for 2 adults - I don't think I should have empty plates left on my table or glasses of water that need to be filled. 3. I noticed awards for 'fine dining', and the prices were kind of high for Medina...but the staff were wearing polo shirts. That confused me a bit. Overall, it was a good twist to visit this spot. I do want to try again, but we'll go back on a date night when we are, you know....more prepared to shell out over $100 for dinner and drinks. read more

This is definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Medina. Food, drinks, and service do not disappoint. The menu has a great variety and not overwhelming. Bar serves drinks that taste as good as they look. Staff is attentive, and knowledgeable of the food they are serving. Great place for an evening out. Looking forward to our next visit. read more
