Went on a Sat. night. Server was super sweet, but service was sloooooow. Waited a long time to put in drink order and get drinks, waited a really long time to get salad course, and 3 minutes after the salads arrived, our meals arrived. I will say that the lobster ravioli was AMAZING. I highly recommend. One in my party said the lamb was good but not great, and the two who got the duck said it was good but were disappointed that there were no crispy skins...the menu states "crispy duck breast." The desserts were just okay. You could tell they were sitting in the fridge for a couple days. Nothing to write home about. Overall, everything was just okay. I did like the prices though...very reasonable. read more

I love love love this place. It's in a beautifully renovated Victorian home which is so unique for one. For two, you can eat downstairs or upstairs in the bedrooms!! Which is a super unique, intimate experience. The staff does such a great job with making you feel comfortable & well-taken care of!! The food is delicious. I've had some of the best scallops of my life at this place. Did I forget to mention the patio is beautiful out back?! It overlooks a pretty pond. One of my favorite restaurants in the area, if not my favorite. read more

About a month ago we wanted to order some Uber Eats. We collectively decided to give Corkscrew Saloon a try and ordered Chefs Grilled Steak Family Dinner... (((Listen to me)))... When you order the Chefs Grilled Steak Family Dinner ask for EXTRA chef potatoes. The meal was amazing (way beyond my expectations) but those chef potatoes almost caused a riot in my house... The potatoes are made by supernatural heavenly beings that shall cause your family to compete for the remaining spuds... As we ate our meals, everyone started eyeing up the remaining potatoes, and we actually had to "ration" the remaining food. Excellent meal (steak was divine) salad was gr8, the chef potatoes will cause a divorce..... read more

Great chef, unique venue, great food. Prices are high but quality of food is worth it. Cool little bar. Has GF options, just ask!

Excellent Food, service . Tom our waiter was professional, courteous and knowledgeable! Darryl Dyer read more

Awesome building, atmosphere, food and service. We sat outside, near the pond, which was very relaxing. There was plenty of shade. The sangria was delish, fresh, and house made. We came as a larger party and our server never skipped a beat. Drinks remained flowing and filled. He had a great attitude. The calamari and lettuce wraps were on point. I had the special grilled prime rib. It was over cooked more of a well then the medium rare I requested, however, it was still tender. read more

A great local establishment to eat dinner. A steak is always my choice and it's always cooked the way I ask. Drinks are also very good.

Been going here for over 12yrs and not once has it disappointed. Is always a top choice when we are craving a celebratory bottle of wine and quality dinner. I worry how much people take for granted how great of a restaurant Corkscrew is just because it's not in a downtown area or more posh location. read more

Wow.. really disappointed.. my wife was there several years ago and said it was great.. read all the reviews and were looking forward to it. Out of the six of us, only one of us enjoyed the entree. It was the ravioli/chicken. Wife had Filet/lobster she was not thrilled with the beef and I tried the lobster and it was so salty.. she couldn't even eat it. Salmon was overcooked etc. I can go on .. but I wont. Our server was great and the drinks were good. Nice atmosphere.. but unfortunately we wont be back. read more

Came here for an early dinner on a beautiful Saturday, and sat on the back patio near the pond. The menu here is great - nice variety of dishes without overkill. The prices here are a little higher for dinner, but you get a large quantity of food. I had the 8oz flatiron steak, which came with a side salad, potatoes, asparagus, and rolls. Everything was delicious, and I was STUFFED. The house gorgonzola dressing is different but great - rich and tangy but also light at the same time. Not a massive draft list, but enough options for everyone's tastes. Our server was friendly and attentive without hovering. Cool old house, fantastic food, and great service! read more

Corkscrew Saloon - Awesome old house, now Corkscrew Saloon! - Seafood Near Me - Medina, Ohio

We loved the food here, staff was friendly, prices were what you would expect at a higher end restaurant. Atmosphere was relaxing.

Visiting a couple that live in Medina, OH. They took as to the favorite restaurant. This restaurant is a very special place. The history is fascinating and the Neal was awesome. Our waiter, Tom, was very attentive and gracious. His personality made our meal memorable. When traveling through Medina, this is a must stop. The house is very old looking, but, the inside is fantastic. read more

The Corkscrew Restaurant and Catering Venue Party Center is Tops the Best place to eat, drink, or have a large party. I just hosted a surprise Birthday Party, which Ryan -Owner-Chef helped me plan. Everything was seamless, and my quests are still messaging me telling me how much they enjoyed the Venue and Food. I want to give a Shout out to Staff Tommy, Who made the Surprise Happen, Rose, Jen, Who are the Very Best Bartenders in Medina County and Chris who also lent a helping hand. The Cork is a awesome place to Celebrate any occasion and with the help of Ryan and his Staff there's no better place to be. read more

Great atmosphere, killer drinks and wonderful food! Can't ask for more! The service was outstanding and accommodating. Our server even offered to split our bill 85 ways for a party of 8! Back to the food. First the value is great. Entrees come with soup or salad and are large enough to take leftovers home. There are a lot of gluten free options, a vegan option, steaks, seafood and burgers. Everything we tried was great! read more

Had been waiting to come here for a long time. Unfortunately, it is nothing special food wise. The building is beautiful, but the food was just ok. I really wanted a burger, you would think a place with saloon in the name would have one, but no. So I settled in 2 apps....Bourdain stuffed mushrooms and lettuce wraps. Mushrooms were soggy. Lettuce for the wraps were too thick and crunchy to roll, so I ate the filling without the lettuce. The filling was nothing special. For as expensive as this place is, the food should reflect more care. Won't be going back. read more

Make a reservation! I have stopped in at this local establishment a number of times since COVID. Last night we met another couple there and didn't make reservations. The hostess was very accommodating and believed she would be able to find a table. Thank you. We found our way to the bar and eventually land four seats together as folks left. Drink menu and service is four star! Rose took care of us. When time to order food, specials were explained and as always they have a 'foodie' menu. We ordered the sauerkraut balls to share. They are homemade and probably the best I have had. Here is the rub. We got there promptly at 6 and didn't see the appetizer until almost 7:30. Agreed we didn't order it right away. Dinner came at about 8. I ordered the Grouper, my wife had the chicken. And the other couple split the Valentine's Day dinner. All thought it was very good. However mine may have been not quite room temperature. I didn't say anything to Rose as she was working so hard and apologized citing staff. I would hope if you have a reservation you would be quickly seated and have a meal that is temperature appropriate. Reservations help them plan too! read more

Featuring local ingredients and a part of Medina history, this is a go to for many on special occasions. Some Highlights: Those that got the pasta commented it was fresh and the sauces were flavorful without being overwhelming to the pasta. The fillet was cooked well, but the real star was the wine reduction. It brought out the flavor of the fillet and wasn't too heavy on a bitter wine. This is another restaurant in Medina that features local ingredients so that is a plus. Our Experience: Both times we seemed to fall under that "lost table" by our server. Again it was very busy so I can understand. It seemed out of the ordinary based on other reviews. Our food was very mixed with some hitting the right boxes on flavor (see above) and others totally missing the mark. The mahi mahi pineapple got lost in the general tso's. If you enjoy more general tso's you'll be fine...it was just not what I was expecting. For appetizers, we tried the baked brie, the stuffed mushrooms, and the local pork belly. The brie and the mushrooms were rubbery, but the local pork belly was cooked well and had a great flavor from the chutney. Overall: This place didn't match up with the food I enjoy, but I wouldn't write it out. I think this place shines with the steak and the pasta. If you're looking for a nice place to take someone for one of those, you can end up with a good meal in a historical setting...worth a visit. read more

We came here on a Friday night around 8p for a special occasion dinner. Food and service were great. The calamari was some of the best I've ever had with a sweet and savory sauce. The truffle potatoes that accompanied our tomahawk steak (pictured-cooked perfectly) were even better the next day for eggs steak and potatoes. Good craft beer, wine, and cocktail selection. We only wish the side salad was heartier (one cherry tomato, one olive, one slice of cucumber) and the lighting was a bit dimmer for a late dinner to set the ambiance. read more

The salmon was amazing tonight... as always! Great service too! We love the Corkscrew! Thanks Ryan!

This is a date night favorite. Dinner rolls are amazing, service is always good and the ambiance is spectacular. Doesn't matter what entree you choose, you won't be disappointed. Ryan and his crew do a great job! read more

The Corkscrew Saloon is an experiment in duplicity. On the one hand, it is situated in a beautiful Victorian setting with quaint rooms leading to an intimate dining experience. On the other hand, it also has the look of a creepy haunted house with a little bit of dive bar grunge. Confused? Intrigued? I wasn't sure either. The menu was concise with some daily specials and about 10 to 15 main dishes to choose from. I ordered the rack of lamb with couscous off the regular menu and my date ordered the prime rib with mashers from the specials. Started with a glass of pinot noir from the wine menu. Got the house, which was just OK and not worth 6 bucks a glass. The bread came out next. Warmed straight out of the nearest giant eagle freezer bag. And the butter came in those individual packets. Does this annoy anyone else when you are presented butter in this fashion at a white tablecloth restaurant. With these markups, can't you pay some high school kid to scrape it into a serving dish. But I digress. We ordered the Boursin stuffed mushrooms for the app with a side of horseradish sauce. How do you deep fry mushrooms and manage to keep them cold and wet inside the boring and unseasoned breading? The main course arrived and my date's prime rib was just OK. Not served with au jus or horseradish. Just adequately cooked meat with uninspired mashers. My rack of lamb arrived with about six bones. Though I ordered medium rare, each bone was cooked to it's own level of doneness ranging from raw to medium well. No excuse for this lack of quality. The couscous tasted pretty good but was a bit stiff. Still, it was the best thing on the plate. I will continue to be single as long as I continue taking my date to places like this. read more

I've never eaten here but ordered pick up for my boyfriend and I about a week ago and definitely have to come back to dine in! The food was delicious, the portions were perfect. Great prices & better service. read more

I don't know what everyone is talking about. I mean, this place isn't my absolute favorite, but it certainly isn't terrible. My family and I came here the other day for my birthday dinner and let me tell you, the house is beautiful. I love old houses turned into restaurants. Our server was friendly, yet seemed a little nervous like it may have been her first week. I started with a sangria and man was it good! Exactly how sangria should taste. For my entree, I ordered the lobster dominica. Which is lobster ravioli with shrimp scampi in a creamy sauce. I hate to break it to all the 1-3 star reviewers out there, but it was awesome! That awesome is to be said in a drawn out, high pitched tone...in case anyone was wondering. Everyone at the table ordered something different but the response was all the same. Great food! Since it was my birthday, I got to choose a dessert off of the fancy table to enjoy after my dinner. Here's where it gets tricky...the chocolate cake was in fact good, however, a little on the dry side if you ask me. My parents ordered a coconut cake and fought over every bite. So take that for what it's worth! read more

DELICIOUS! First time at the Corkscrew Saloon. Claire was our server and she was awesome. Great service, lots of attention paid to us. She answered all our questions and enjoyed chatting with us about the history of the mansion. We had the Baked Brie app - yum (the homemade pita chips were to die for). Entrees were the prime rib and Corkscrew Trio - both outstanding. We sat inside on a Weds night and the restaurant was pleasantly busy. Next time we'll sit outside near the pond and fountains :). Thanks for the great experience. 5 stars, for sure! read more

Great food and service! This place has one of the coolest settings in Medina and also has the capacity to house large groups. I love the local ingredients and rotating specials. read more

Delicious, quality food made by a well trained chef. This is one of the area's top spots to dine. The building is historic and has some interesting stories related to it. Request a table upstairs to get a better look at this lovely, historic building. read more

What a great hidden jem. I've passed by here so many times... and wow did I underestimate it!! We sat on the patio, it's beautiful... it's hard to believe you are even next to an intersection. The food was amazing. I can't wait to go back! read more

What a great historical house with a lot of great stories. The food was excellent. I had a filet with scalloped potatoes and asparagus. Great service at the secluded rooms throughout the house are very interesting. The comedy group after dinner in the barn was exceptional. The main comedian from Detroit was awesome. His name was Kevin "Famous" Kramis. Great comedic depth as he's been doing it for awhile. Love this place! read more

Side dishes were nothing special anyone could make and my husband makes a better steak. Service was HORRIBLE.

We visited the restaurant last Saturday and really enjoyed our meal. We started with the boursin stuffed mushrooms which were tasty. My husband got the salmon dinner and I got the boursin chicken dinner and both were really wonderful. Our server was Tara and she did a stellar job. We love the old mansion and the photos. Will be back! read more

I visited during Medina County Restaurant Week and enjoyed the fixed menu for lunch. Food was very good. My server was attentive and offered suggestions and information regarding the Corkscrew Saloon dinner offerings and shows. He also made suggestions about other Medina restaurants participating in Restaurant Week. I will eat here again for dinner. read more

Simply our local "GoTo" restaurant. We've been raving fans for years. Always excellent service and food. Would recommend anything on the menu. In season you can't beat a good glass of wine by the duck pond while enjoying the locally source meat and cheese tray. What a great way to forget about the world for an hour or so. Also I can't speak highly enough about the bison filet with wild mushrooms ( when available). I think the fact that the owner/chef is always on site makes a big difference on consistently delivering on an outstanding dining experience. read more

Great meal. Ate at the bar where both bar tenders were friendly and helpful while running around trying to keep the entire restaurant supplied with drinks. Actually, kind of fun to see how efficient both ladies were while maintaining a sincere sense of humor. Hint- if you want to to sit in this very cool historical home call at least a week ahead for reservations. We look forward to a return visit perhaps on what looks like a cool outdoor patio. read more

A group of us held a reunion of sorts there on Sept. 19. We were a party of 25 and were treated very, very well. The food was excellent, as was the service. We could not have asked for a better evening. Kudos to kitchen staff and our server Stacy. I'm sure we'll be back. Oh, yeah ... and the atmosphere is awesome!!! read more

I recently booked a wedding luncheon at the Corkscrew Saloon in one of their Mansion rooms for a small gathering. The venue was excellent, the service and food were outstanding. And our waiter went above and beyond, even sharing with us the history of the mansion and stories about it. I would highly recommend this restaurant and the Mansion rooms to all. read more

The food was delicious. Our waitress was adorable. They were busy and we did have a wait. But everyone's short staffed right now and everybody just needs to be patient. I had the best pineapple jalapeño margarita. Man it was so good! We will definitely go back! read more
