Cabin Club - Westlake

Beautiful place with some amazing high quality service. Got lunch here and it was by far the best high class lunch experience I have had. The French on soup was excellent and the scallops were cooked perfect with that nice char. Would highly recommend this place if your looking for the works of an experience.

We had two wonderful steak dinners and yummy espresso martinis over the weekend. We had nothing but praise for how good the food was and our server Loretta was fantastic. Can’t wait to come back!

We have been to Cabin Club multiple times in the past, and this time, we left disappointed. Our server was abrupt and jokingly sarcastic several times. Enough that I was over it by the 3rd response. He took our appetizer that was half eaten I assumed was boxing it up, but that did not happen-we never saw it again. The shrimp, asparagus sauce on the Steak Christopher was cold on all 3 entrees that ordered it. When my son asked for a box for his meal, the server said a smart remark again, I 'll make sure you get what you need, and then took his food away from the table. When going here spending the money we did (and we still tipped very well), I definitely didn 't need to feel like we were a bother to our server.

After striking out at nearly every steakhouse, we were sooo excited to try Cabin Club. After rushing out of work and driving 50+ minutes, we now know not to do that again. Clean interior and cozy vibe were the highlights. We walked in to a stone face of a human, no smile or expression, which should have been the indication of how the dinner would end up. We decided to sit at the bar where you typically get more personality and interaction than a table. But, clearly, Dan wasn’t thrilled to have us there. Don’t worry, we know his name because the various regular guests said it, not from his approach on amazing customer service or guest experience. I will say, his steps of service were on point. Food was BLAND. Butter was a great consistency but tasted like it came straight from the ground and not sure if they put any salt or pepper on anything… steak and lobster were cooked to perfection so at least they have someone on staff who knows what they are doing. (Kudos to that chef) I guess if you do go, try the hibiscus habanero margarita and ask Dan to serve it with a smile. But if you’re looking for an overwhelming WOW factor, keep looking.

What initially sold us on eating at this restaurant…“Located in Westlake, this historic timber-framed log cabin, once a private hunting lodge, dates back to World War II.” We wanted something different, not a chain restaurant, and a place that offered good food. This place was it. There’s something about the staff outside the tri-state area that is super friendly. That they are really interested in making conversation. Everyone greets you no matter if they are your waiter or not. The food and cocktails lived up to what we hoped. It was absolutely delicious. We definitely left full.
