Been here for lunch and dinner and really enjoyed both. The atmosphere feels a little formal for dinner, but more casual (and affordable) for a nice lunch.

This place is a great restaurant, and the prices for a "prime" steakhouse are reasonable because you don't have to purchase your salad and sides separately. The filet is delicious and cooked to order with their terrific Yukon gold potato pancakes. The house salad is nice with a bit of cheese and some ham in addition to a tasty vinaigrette. One of the best features is the hot bread. Service is excellent. The place is pretty small though, and tables are close together - not always good for a private business conversation. The ambiance is relaxed - a big open room inside a rustic log cabin. I love Hyde Park, but this place is the better value, and is on par with the food at Hyde Park. It's also just beyond the Hyde Park on Detroit Road. Call for a reservation TODAY.

Excellent food for a premium price. Service is always great. Can be a bit noisy on busy nights. If you wish to eat at the bar, you can. Great for appetizers and drinks.

I'll start by saying that I've been to a ton of steakhouses in my day. Not all of them, by any means, but a lot. Cabin Club came highly recommended and delivered. SUPER small place, but I liked that about it. Make a reservation, or you might wait a long, long time to get a seat (if you get a seat at all). We got lucky the night we went and did NOT make a reservation, but one family happened to be leaving and it was a Sunday night. The service was top-notch. Great server - I wish I remembered her name. She deserved the good tip we left her. The Manhattan I had was great and the wine list, extensive enough, but not huge by any means. They have a lot of awards for their wine list from back in the 90's, but it's clear that they haven't kept the large inventory up anymore, but it's not a big deal. Just don't come here if that's what you heard. There is no rib-eye on the normal a la carte menu, which surprised me...but I was pleasantly surprised when they had a bone-in rib-eye as a special that night, which was really, really good. The lobster mashed potatoes were okay, but I'm not a huge potato fan. Everyone really seemed to enjoy their meal and we had a great time. Would definitely recommend it. The only reason for not giving it a 5-star is b/c I've had better steak before with more selection at other steakhouses. Otherwise, this place is great.

I had the best Club sandwich I have ever eaten today. They call it the "Country Club". This was worth the rating of 5 stars! Service was top notch. Best kept secret for lunch on the west side. A must try! I have lunch here at least once a week, but today was different. This sandwich rocks! I love the Blackened scallops or the steak and spinach salad. ~Cheers JB

Terrific place. Lunch and service were outstanding. Prices are fair. The place offers a triple for $12, which includes choice of soups, choice of salads and choice of a small sandwich. Each one was delicious. My only "complaint" is that is located too far from my home, or I would be a regular. I am jealous of those of you who live nearby. It is owned by a restaurant group which owns several different style restaurants in the Cleveland area and each is well managed and appealing.

Had another really excellent mean here last week. They have a nice menu option to pick out a steak (of various types) and get a salad and a vegetable with it. They have a nice wine menu. Good wines do not have to be expensive. So look near the bottom of the price list and try some grapes you have never had. For example, like Tempranillo which they had blended with other red grape, that was excellent and not too expensive. The log cabin the restaurant is in is really cosy and still very elegant. A nice location for social or business lunches or dinnners.

Cozy restaurant with superior service and very good food. I have a gluten allergy and they are so well educated and careful, and besides the food is so well made that a lot of it is naturally gluten free.

I have been to CC many times and have never been disappointed. The lobster bisque and steak christopher are fantastic. Great ambiance with attentive and pleasant wait staff.
Hadn't been in here in a few years, but my husband and I decided to go for the Tuesday lunch special--chicken paprikash. We arrived around 12:30 and to our surprise it was a full house. We had to sit at the bar which was no biggy. We were promptly acknowledged and ordered our meals. The wait was reasonable seeing how crowded the place was. We both ordered the paprikash. Our salads came out and were just the right size to go with the hearty meal we ordered, house dressing was very good. Presentation was the best I have seen for paprikash with the dumplings piled in the middle swimming in the rich sauce with plenty of white meat chicken. Some of the best, if not the best, paprikash I have encountered. My only complaint, if any, is that we had to sit at the bar and almost felt like we were intruding on the regulars who must come often for lunch. Reason for four stars instead of five.

Jeff D.
While the space is nice and the atmosphere unique the reason you go to a restaurant is the food and the food here just barely rates an OK. We did enjoy the lobster bisque but her salmon BLT was bland and his grilled chicken had an odd texture with no discernible flavor. We skipped dessert, expecting more average. Sorry, but not much here to recommend.

Being a chef myself I don't say this to often about my many adventures in food but this place has phenomenally good food. Impressive in all aspect professional service and outstanding food. A true gem of Ohio. I would definitely return without hesitation. I came in without a reservation but they were so kind and willing to let us have a meal. If you have the time and your in west lake Ohio reserve a table you won't regret it.

The atmosphere is a nice cozy log cabin. Small restaurant with a decent sized bar spanning the back of the restaurant. We opted to sit at the bar for the end of happy hour and decided to stay there to eat. The service was a bit slow and the food was good, but not great (not really worth the price in our opinion).

Sorry, was not impressed by this place. The best steak in Cleveland is "Red, The Steakhouse," actually it's near Beachwood. I will give Cabin Club this: the server that I had was a super model.

I am, or was, a regular. That makes tonight all the harder to understand. When you undercook, I mean to the point of raw through the middle, a 46 dollar steak, you comp it. If I didn't eat you don't make me pay for it. You want to insist on it? I am sick to my stomach. You argued with me. No problem. I paid. You won. Did you? A steak restaurant that undercooked and overcharged a regular patron. Sad state of affairs for what used to be the standard bearer of red meat on the westside of Cleveland. Don't worry, I will be there to chronicle your downfall. But I was rooting for you the whole time; until you decided I wasn't worth your time.

Upscale but not stuffy! We love Cabin Club and it was our go to steakhouse when we lived in the area. Being from Kansas City, we were excited to find a wonderful steakhouse that reminded us of home. The cozy atmosphere helped us to feel we could just sit back, enjoy our meal, and have a glass (or 2) of wine. Filets melted in your mouth! French onion soup was bursting with flavor! And I could never go wrong with the loaded baked potato. Get your reservations in and I promise you will have a great meal.

A group of us visited the Cabin Club for dinner on a Tuesday evening. The place was packed on a Tuesday evening, fortunately our group had a reservation. I went with the Caesar salad and the Cedar-planked Salmon with sides of Asparagus and Broccoli. All of the food was delicious - I ordered the Salmon medium rare, it came out cooked more than that - but it was still scrumptious - I was not about to send it back! The service was impeccable and the ambiance is warm and inviting with a bit of a woodsy, folksy feel, yet still feels upscale. They also have a nice bar - would be a good place to come for drinks. They had a nice craft beer selection - but I was driving and so abstained from any such beverages. Maybe next time!

Tina R.
Great cozy cabin atmosphere. The lobster bisque was thick and creamy with great flavor and large portions. I ordered the Filet ala carte with a loaded baked potato and my friend ordered Steak Christopher. Both steaks were cooked perfectly. And the sides were terrific. We had a great bottle of wine and a yummy chocolate mouse dessert. The service was terrific from the minute we walked in to the minute we left.

The Cabin Club offers outstanding steaks paired with an excellent wine selection. If you are looking for a truly marvelous dining experience I would recommend sitting at the bar, the service from the bartenders (Katie and Tracy) is really exquisite, They were very attentive and anticipated my needs without me even having to ask for a refill. I would also suggest you try their outstanding ribs or the cowboy steak (a wonderful bone in rib eye not on the menu).
The Cabin Club was always the place to impress! The decore / ambiance are impeccable. The service is top notch. The food is even better. I always ordered the Lobster Bisque and it never failed to deliver. My favorite entree was the steak Oscar and it always rocked. Top Notch!

After eating here last night, I was so full and happy that I went to bed and had a great night's sleep. The appetizers (baked artichoke dip and calamari) were delicious but the steak (center cut filet mignon) with a side of broccoli was divine. Best steak I've had in a long time. I also had the French onion soup which is different than a traditional clean onion soup. There was more flavor in the broth and I believe the crouton was toasted. For dessert I had the cheesecake which was caramel that night (chef's choice). It was a true light but still rich cheesecake with just enough caramel flavor. The decor had a warm but sophisticated feeling just like the name implies. Finally the service was excellent. There was a snow storm that night and we had friends coming from afar. So we say, drank, and ate appetizers for an hour before ordering and they were always attentive and genuinely friendly.

This time I went for dinner and it was a much better experience! Made a reservation and I liked how that asked if it was for a special occasion, which was for my birthday. I went to Red steakhouse in beachwood last year and it wasn't even asked nor acknowledged. We were seated right away and greeted with water and warm fresh bread with whipped butter that was to die for! I ordered the house Malbec which was awesome! The French onion soup which surprisingly came with the meal was typical French onion but good. Caesar salad was not that fresh and very bland dressing which I was shocked about, so I'd pass on that. We both ordered the Steak Christopher which is two 3-4oz filets toped with two jumbo shrimp and finished with bernaise. It comes with asparagus and garlic mash but I had to sub for the famous lobster mash that I always get at Blue point as well! Can we say delish!! Loved my meal! To top it all off I was greeted with a delicious chocolate mouse shooter with Oreo crumble, compliments of the house for my birthday! Service was a bit slow but it was sat night at 6:30 so you'll have that. Cabin club redeemed themselves for dinner. I may have to give happy hour another try?

We went to this restaurant for a special occasion--my son's 18th birthday. I mentioned this when making the reservation as well as when we arrived at the door. You would have thought the hostess or the waitress could have said "happy birthday" to him, as he was standing right there, and neither of them did. Very odd. I had the Delmonico steak, which surprisingly had a decent amount of fat on it--not expected nor desired. I also had the French Onion Soup, which was nothing spectacular. Personally, I feel we would have had a much better experience at Outback, and we would have saved ourselves $80 - $100. Anyone can see that Cabin Club is overpriced, unless you enjoy that type of "elite" atmosphere when dining, I guess that's what you're really paying for. We did not enjoy it, maybe our expectations were too high. Service was not exceptionally great, food was good, but we definitely will not be returning. We spent just shy of $200 for five people, and not one of us was all that impressed. :( You know that sinking feeling when you leave a very expensive place and you all say, wow, we should have went somewhere else? Hopefully I can save someone that feeling.

We live in California and were out visiting our son and family. Our son, who lives in Brooklyn, OH recommended the restaurant so we went there for his birthday. There were 5 in the group - including our 1 year old granddaughter. You wouldn't think a place like this was ideal for babies - but you're wrong. They were FANTASTIC. When we arrived, the table was set with her high chair in place and nothing around it to cause a problem. That's right, no sharp utensils or stemware. Perfect. The manager came over to insure everything was to our satisfaction (it was). Food was excellent from steak, to crab legs to chicken. But the nicest part was when the baby needed a diaper change. The bathroom wasn't able to handle this task so they took my daughter-in-law downstairs and into a private area where she could be changed and brought back up to the restaurant. Now that's customer service. Loved the log cabin ambiance. So go for the food - - and bring the kids!

Stopped in about a year ago to get a drink and ordered their Chocolate Mouse. It was to die for and my wife is not a fan of chocolate. I had ordered one because she did not want any sweets. I gve her the second bite and she took it away from me. LOL love is so giving. She took me back on the forth os April for a romantic dinner the night before I turned Sixty. We should have gotten reservations but the manager squeezed us in at a little corner table. The food was faboulious and the wait staff was friendly, efficient with out being intrusive. We had a wonderful time. Considering the quality of food the bill was reasonable. Service got a tip that goggled my wife's eyes. I can not recommend this restraunt enough.

great atmosphere and good food..I know it was close to closing time but as a restaurant and a chef you still have to execute every dish to its finest especially when your paying $30+ a dish.. Ordered a steak med/well and not cooked to temp.. The chef did not let my steak rest and served on my dish with blood on my dish.. Def a sign of lazy from chef if there's a certified chef in kitchen or just an experience cook...will be back but not anytime soon.

From the first steps in the door, the hosts and servers, the wine list and menu, and the meal (perfect steak) I consider this my new favorite Cleveland spot. A lucky Chicagoan introduced by some local friends who have known CC for years, this place is special and I will be back.

Rita T.
Just saying this place is an actual log cabin doesn't do it justice. Inside, the cozy one-room restaurant's log walls are polished to a warm glow right up to the gabled rafters--all the decor needed. Cream linen table cloths and soft sconce lighting add a touch of elegance to support the quality menu, but the ambiance and friendly staff keep a relaxed feel. Our meal had not one mis-step. Service and timing was great, steaks were the best we've had in a long time--and we loved our crispy peach crisp and flourless chocolate cake desserts. Be sure to call ahead for reservations!

This place specializes in steak and they do a pretty great job. It's constantly busy so reservations are recommended. The service was decent and the cucumber mojito was great. The atmosphere is a nice steakhouse feel with, of course, cabin-like decor. It is a more expensive steakhouse but they also have a great seafood menu.

We've heard about the Cabin Club for some time and were anxious to experience it for ourselves. The atmosphere was warm and inviting which was perfect on this cool October evening. Unfortunately that's where the positives end. The service was average at best as our party of 4 seemed to be more of a nuisance to our server then anything else. While that was unfortunate, the real disappointment came when the food arrived. The spinach salad came loaded with raw onions even after we requested NO onions. The "special" bone-in ribeye was over done. Prepared medium was described to us as a bright pink center. Instead we were greeted with a hot grey center, portions of which were down right dry. It's possible the reason for this was that it was the thinnest cut of ribeye we've ever come across, chuckling on our way home that our cuts at Costco are better. Had we been by ourselves we would have asked to speak with a manager but we were with friends and did not want them to feel uncomfortable. Underwhelmed is the word of the day for our first experience at the Cabin Club.

When I think great steakhouse in Cleveland the Cabin Club is always my first choice. Great cozy intimate atmosphere. It's literally a log cabin - hence the name. Passing by from the outside it doesn't look like much, but once you step through the doors you can tell immediately that you're about to get an amazing meal. Lobster hush puppies are my favorite starter. The blacked bleu delmonico is out of this world, too! After a hard day of work, or to celebrate a special occasion the Cabin Club is in my opinion the best place. It's been the far westside's best little secret for many many years.

Two words: Lobster Bisque. Do not go to Cabin Club without ordering the Lobster Bisque. There are no exceptions. Service and food are always a plus here. Food is fantastic and you cannot beat the deals available during the working day at lunch - the price you pay for the food you get is spot on. Don't change a thing. The only thing I would add is some aspects of the restaurant are slightly in need of repair/updating. For example, there is a vent/heating/cooling duct in the restaurant that has one of those plastic covers hanging from it. The lighting can sometimes always be shining right in your face depending where you sit in the restaurant too. I've taken customers here for lunch on occasion twice now (1) had to move because of the vent blowing cold air on her - I switched seats with her and it was literally blowing right in my face, and (2) the lighting again - seriously blinding. Other than that, again: Lobster Bisque.

I've been to Cabin Club three times now--all for dinner. It's a very small restaurant--literally a cabin, hence the title. Adding to the charm, the staff was very friendly and attentive. I definitely had no problems with the steak on my first two visits. The third time, however, I went on a mission to compare it directly to XO Prime Steaks where I had lunched a few weeks earlier. Coincidentally, the special that night was a bone-in ribeye--exactly what I had at XO. Almost with regret, I have to say that the XO steak won the match. The Cabin Club bone-in ribeye tasted almost flat by comparison. The saga continues; I'm sure that these won't be my last visits to these restaurants. I remain a fan of Cabin Club.

I was surprised when I arrived at 8:30 not to find a place at the bar. After waiting for about 15 min one opened up and was immediately greeted by two lovely waitstaff. I know what I wanted after reviewing the menu online, ordering steak Christopher and the house salad, I said I would pass on the bread. I really enjoyed the cabin salad) on of the best) with their house dressing. The steak was juicy and cooked perfectly along with some asparagus and shrimp. This was by far the best deal on the menu. It was a bit loud but definitely a neat place to go, now one of my Cleveland favorites.

Lauren S.
Yeah definitely a solid 4 stars. The atmosphere is great - a hunting lodge feel (cabin indeed!) with studio lighting and quirky window shades featuring bookshelf illustrations. I had a really great cut of Strip steak, cooked really well. I've had better, but it was really great and hit the spot pretty hardcore. My company had tbone and troat and they loved their food as well. Also, the banana bread pudding and the lemon cheesecake are definitely worth trying. Solid.

OK I had to write a review....when my husband took his new job in Cleveland it was one of the first questions I asked... Was Cabin Club still in business? It had been at least 15 years since my first trip to CC and from the first day of my week long stay in Cleveland... I went 4 times! This place in amazing! Steaks are the best! The sides are awesome! Service is top notch! Not really for kids but we had a couple with us who's babysitter cancelled at the last minute so we the 2 year old....and the chef made her mac-n-cheese...at the time it wasn't on the menu. But after they brought it to our table the entire restaurant was trying to order....so I'm sure it's on the menu by now! ; ) AWESOME place!

Although it is not an inexpensive dining experience, the quality of the food and excellent atmosphere is worth the expense! It's perfect for special occasions and dressing up is an expectation on weekends. We are particular fans of the Surf n Turf and the Chocolate Mousse is simply delicious! Be sure to call ahead for reservations and dress code for the evening (it depends on the night)!

The steak was one of the best I've had in Cleveland. The sides were tasty and the cornbread side was just awesome. Unfortunately due to the mediocre service, I have to give Cabin Club a three. Our server was slow and could not get her timing right. We had a very long wait between getting drinks and our order being taken followed by another long wait before salads and soups were brought to the table. Our table of four had 2 soups and two salads. First one soup appeared. Minutes later the salads and a few minutes after that the final soup (the lobster bisque is outstanding!) It would have been better had all the soups and salads appeared together. Our steaks did show up together, however once done, there was another long wait for a dessert menu, more time spent waiting for her to take dessert orders, etc. To be fair, our server was friendly, just seemed disorganized. The atmosphere was more bar than steakhouse. That's not a complaint, just a statement. The food was good enough that we'll be back. I'm just hoping the service improves by then.

Quite simply, a great meal! The food: As an appetizer, we split the sampler and it was very good. The calamari were perfectly cooked, tender and lightly breaded. The buffalo spring rolls were crispy and zesty. The BBQ shrimp were tasty and the sauce on them was delicious, but there was just a little too much on there. The special of the night of my visit was a rack of lamb with mashed potatoes and green beans. The lamb was tender, juicy and cooked to perfection. My sister ordered the Java-Crusted Sirloin and it was delicious. Well-seasoned and tender! My parents ordered the Steak Christopher and absolutely loved it. The service:...was outstanding! Our waitress was attentive, slightly sassy, and very, very good! She was able to talk in detail about everything on the menu...a lost art in this world of crappy chain places! The management team clearly knows what it's doing with their staff! Reservations are a must, as this place is very small. Great job!

My phone is ringing and it's the Cabin Club short ribs calling.......Yum yum! You must note that I get one dish & one dish only here so keep that in mind for my review. It's totally biased. Cabin Club hands down has the best Braised Beef Short Ribs I've ever had and they keep me coming back......decor is a bit campy for me but I think overall, it's a local CLE based chain as part of a larger group of local restaurants with great food and the bar/restaurant is always packed so it must be good. I'm glad the Crocker Park Mall chains haven't affected the business here @ CC. Decent wine list too....some hard to find labels are on the menu (Duckhorn, Stags Leap).

Five very solid stars! My loved one and I were meeting his father at the Cabin Club. All of us are from several states away. Since we are not familiar with Cleveland restaurants, we were literally taking a chance on Cabin Club. Wow, am I glad we did. Our experience here was perfection. My BF's father waited for us at the bar. He said that he could tell that most of the people there were locals. It was Friday night, and the place was packed but not overly-so. The atmosphere is energetic yet still comforting. We were immediately seated at a nice corner booth where we would be able to talk to each other. From the get-go until we were done, our waitress, JoAnn (I hope that is right) was outstanding. What a pro! She was both patient and sharp. She was helpful and unassuming with the wine list. She didn't flinch and was extremely informative when my picky BF ordered his meal and asked about every single aspect of what was served with it. She insisted he get the salad dressing on the side and then followed up later to make sure he liked it. She also didn't flinch when my BF's father made a meal out of three appetizers. The way they served it was beautiful, too. Finally, we hogged her booth almost all evening, and not for a moment did I get the impression she was trying to rush us or get rid of us. She and the rest of the staff visibly work hard and do a great job at making everyone feel at home. But just as much as the service, we would come back for the amazing food. Where to start? My (remember, picky) BF had "the best pork chop of his life". Seriously, it did look huge and juicy; bone in with rice and green beans. I had shrimp and scallops over lobster mashed. Whoever invented this dish must be an angel, but the way it was cooked and put together is what made it amazing. The shrimp were deliciously grilled; the scallops perfect in texture, and the mashed flavorful and not overly greasy/buttery like some places. Unfortunately, I could not finish it after all of the french onion soup and bread I'd had. :( ! All of the food was really, really, really great and definitely unlike any food we get anywhere else. (Side note: I live in Phoenix/Scottsdale, and there are a lot of amazing restaurants, but still no food even close to what Cabin Club's is like). Finally, I am NOT a dessert person at all, but we ordered a peach cobbler. The men scooped it down, and I had a bite or two. Let's just say that there is no disappointment in this dessert. Not too sugary-sweet, cooked with fresh peaches, and topped with quality ice cream. It was just plain tasty. The feel of the cabin, the "old" bathrooms, and the "slight imperfections" of the buildling, to me, are what makes this place so comfortable. Except for the freezing cold air conditioning, I felt very much at home here. Next time we are in Cleveland, I can guarantee we'll be making reservations here again. We had a truly special evening here with uniquely amazing food.

I wanted to treat my boyfriend to a nice dinner for our two-year anniversary. I came across this steak house online and found their menu to be mouth-watering. We arrived to a cozy, low-lit atmosphere with extremely friendly staff. Our reservation time was immediately accommodated and we were promptly seated in a quiet corner (when you call to make your reservation, they ask if it's for a special occasion and what it is) Our server was pleasantly chatty and treated us as though I'd imagine she would if she were waiting on family members. We shared drinks, an appetizer, and steaks - all of which were mouthwatering from start to finish. My steak was large enough that I had leftovers that were perfectly boxed up and enjoyed the next day. A complimentary dessert was brought out in honor of our special day as well. Every part of our visit was phenomenal and worth every dollar spent. We will certainly be back to visit this exquisite Westlake dining treasure.

I had a great experience here. Our server gave us a fantastic Pinot Noir recommendation which we'll definitely add to our list of favorites. The blackened scallop appetizer was outstanding. I don't know what they put in that sauce (some kind of mustard maybe?), but I sopped it all up with my bread. The lobster bisque was delicious - comparable to Pier W. Because of this bisque, I was unable to finish most of my meal :) My filet was cooked perfectly, just as I requested, as was my lobster tail. The table next to us had several children seated at it, which I thought would be a nuissnace, but I hardly noticed them. The prices were not as high as I thought they would be either. Can't wait to go back!

This is the first review - this is just wrong? Cabin Club is my favorite restaurant in Cleveland. Maybe that is because it was the first good restaurant I went to when I moved there and my wife and family have been there many times. My brother-in-law especially likes the restaurant. This is a restaurant that knows what it does well and does only that. You might think the menu is limited and you'd be right and don't go if you are vegan. This place does steak, steak and more steak. Yes, they have seafood, pork chops and maybe a veal dish, but steak is where it's at and what you need to order. My appetizer favorites are the fried calamari, blackened scallops and last, but not least, the best lobster bisque you can find in Ohio. Salads are excellent as well. Hands down, the best steakhouse in the Cleveland area. Just try the Strip Steak - blackened with bleu cheese or with peppercorn glaze. Or the Steak Christopher. Excellent!!! Let me say it again - the best steakhouse in the Cleveland area - probably in the whole state of Ohio. Reservations are practically mandatory as the place is quite small. I went in one night with a co-worker without reservations and we had to wait at the bar for an hour - in itself not a bad place to be since the drinks are large and strong. One of the best things about the Cabin Club is the fact that the same wait staff was there after we had been going for 4 years. Always a good sign. Bottom line, go to the Cabin club and write a review so more people can enjoy!

Been here for lunch and dinner and really enjoyed both. The atmosphere feels a little formal for dinner, but more casual (and affordable) for a nice lunch.

This place is a great restaurant, and the prices for a "prime" steakhouse are reasonable because you don't have to purchase your salad and sides separately. The filet is delicious and cooked to order with their terrific Yukon gold potato pancakes. The house salad is nice with a bit of cheese and some ham in addition to a tasty vinaigrette. One of the best features is the hot bread. Service is excellent. The place is pretty small though, and tables are close together - not always good for a private business conversation. The ambiance is relaxed - a big open room inside a rustic log cabin. I love Hyde Park, but this place is the better value, and is on par with the food at Hyde Park. It's also just beyond the Hyde Park on Detroit Road. Call for a reservation TODAY.

Excellent food for a premium price. Service is always great. Can be a bit noisy on busy nights. If you wish to eat at the bar, you can. Great for appetizers and drinks.

Casual, higher end food. Great place to relax near Cleveland. Mouse made the evening go well

I'll start by saying that I've been to a ton of steakhouses in my day. Not all of them, by any means, but a lot. Cabin Club came highly recommended and delivered. SUPER small place, but I liked that about it. Make a reservation, or you might wait a long, long time to get a seat (if you get a seat at all). We got lucky the night we went and did NOT make a reservation, but one family happened to be leaving and it was a Sunday night. The service was top-notch. Great server - I wish I remembered her name. She deserved the good tip we left her. The Manhattan I had was great and the wine list, extensive enough, but not huge by any means. They have a lot of awards for their wine list from back in the 90's, but it's clear that they haven't kept the large inventory up anymore, but it's not a big deal. Just don't come here if that's what you heard. There is no rib-eye on the normal a la carte menu, which surprised me...but I was pleasantly surprised when they had a bone-in rib-eye as a special that night, which was really, really good. The lobster mashed potatoes were okay, but I'm not a huge potato fan. Everyone really seemed to enjoy their meal and we had a great time. Would definitely recommend it. The only reason for not giving it a 5-star is b/c I've had better steak before with more selection at other steakhouses. Otherwise, this place is great.

I had the best Club sandwich I have ever eaten today. They call it the "Country Club". This was worth the rating of 5 stars! Service was top notch. Best kept secret for lunch on the west side. A must try! I have lunch here at least once a week, but today was different. This sandwich rocks! I love the Blackened scallops or the steak and spinach salad. ~Cheers JB
(5)Robert B.
Terrific place. Lunch and service were outstanding. Prices are fair. The place offers a triple for $12, which includes choice of soups, choice of salads and choice of a small sandwich. Each one was delicious. My only "complaint" is that is located too far from my home, or I would be a regular. I am jealous of those of you who live nearby. It is owned by a restaurant group which owns several different style restaurants in the Cleveland area and each is well managed and appealing.
(5)Joseph C.
Had another really excellent mean here last week. They have a nice menu option to pick out a steak (of various types) and get a salad and a vegetable with it. They have a nice wine menu. Good wines do not have to be expensive. So look near the bottom of the price list and try some grapes you have never had. For example, like Tempranillo which they had blended with other red grape, that was excellent and not too expensive. The log cabin the restaurant is in is really cosy and still very elegant. A nice location for social or business lunches or dinnners.
(4)Brian K.
Cozy restaurant with superior service and very good food. I have a gluten allergy and they are so well educated and careful, and besides the food is so well made that a lot of it is naturally gluten free.
(5)Thomas C.
Great steaks and good service. Laeticia Estate Pinot Noir is now one of my favorites. Great food and wine.
(5)Cervelo R.
I have been to CC many times and have never been disappointed. The lobster bisque and steak christopher are fantastic. Great ambiance with attentive and pleasant wait staff.
(5)Heather B.
Lobster bisque...yum! Saw that some raved about the bread, meh...chewy and heading toward hard; not impressive. Cabin Club salad was good. I picked the ham slices out and found the lemon dressing a bit sweet, but it was tasty nonetheless. They brought me the wrong steak. Had to return it. Brought me jumbo shrimp to apologize. My sister's steak was too well done and burnt around the edges. Sent it back. Overall, not the best experience. This was our first time and it really left is disappointed. When I got the right steak, the center cut filet, it was a little underdone, but on a hot plate so I could cook it more. Much better than the first try. At least I can check it off my list now. The manager assured us that this is not the norm and from the other reviews I know that is true. They also gave us complimentary desserts which were excellent--creme brûlée and peach crisp ala mode.
(3)Karen R.
Hadn't been in here in a few years, but my husband and I decided to go for the Tuesday lunch special--chicken paprikash. We arrived around 12:30 and to our surprise it was a full house. We had to sit at the bar which was no biggy. We were promptly acknowledged and ordered our meals. The wait was reasonable seeing how crowded the place was. We both ordered the paprikash. Our salads came out and were just the right size to go with the hearty meal we ordered, house dressing was very good. Presentation was the best I have seen for paprikash with the dumplings piled in the middle swimming in the rich sauce with plenty of white meat chicken. Some of the best, if not the best, paprikash I have encountered. My only complaint, if any, is that we had to sit at the bar and almost felt like we were intruding on the regulars who must come often for lunch. Reason for four stars instead of five.
(4)Jeff D.
While the space is nice and the atmosphere unique the reason you go to a restaurant is the food and the food here just barely rates an OK. We did enjoy the lobster bisque but her salmon BLT was bland and his grilled chicken had an odd texture with no discernible flavor. We skipped dessert, expecting more average. Sorry, but not much here to recommend.
(2)Paul G.
We've eaten here many times always excellent. Very high quality steaks and best burger in Cleveland (in my humble opinion)
(5)Jon M.
Being a chef myself I don't say this to often about my many adventures in food but this place has phenomenally good food. Impressive in all aspect professional service and outstanding food. A true gem of Ohio. I would definitely return without hesitation. I came in without a reservation but they were so kind and willing to let us have a meal. If you have the time and your in west lake Ohio reserve a table you won't regret it.
(4)Brett K.
The atmosphere is a nice cozy log cabin. Small restaurant with a decent sized bar spanning the back of the restaurant. We opted to sit at the bar for the end of happy hour and decided to stay there to eat. The service was a bit slow and the food was good, but not great (not really worth the price in our opinion).
(3)D'suni U.
Sorry, was not impressed by this place. The best steak in Cleveland is "Red, The Steakhouse," actually it's near Beachwood. I will give Cabin Club this: the server that I had was a super model.
(3)Dan G.
I am, or was, a regular. That makes tonight all the harder to understand. When you undercook, I mean to the point of raw through the middle, a 46 dollar steak, you comp it. If I didn't eat you don't make me pay for it. You want to insist on it? I am sick to my stomach. You argued with me. No problem. I paid. You won. Did you? A steak restaurant that undercooked and overcharged a regular patron. Sad state of affairs for what used to be the standard bearer of red meat on the westside of Cleveland. Don't worry, I will be there to chronicle your downfall. But I was rooting for you the whole time; until you decided I wasn't worth your time.
(1)Melissa G.
Upscale but not stuffy! We love Cabin Club and it was our go to steakhouse when we lived in the area. Being from Kansas City, we were excited to find a wonderful steakhouse that reminded us of home. The cozy atmosphere helped us to feel we could just sit back, enjoy our meal, and have a glass (or 2) of wine. Filets melted in your mouth! French onion soup was bursting with flavor! And I could never go wrong with the loaded baked potato. Get your reservations in and I promise you will have a great meal.
(5)Neal E.
A group of us visited the Cabin Club for dinner on a Tuesday evening. The place was packed on a Tuesday evening, fortunately our group had a reservation. I went with the Caesar salad and the Cedar-planked Salmon with sides of Asparagus and Broccoli. All of the food was delicious - I ordered the Salmon medium rare, it came out cooked more than that - but it was still scrumptious - I was not about to send it back! The service was impeccable and the ambiance is warm and inviting with a bit of a woodsy, folksy feel, yet still feels upscale. They also have a nice bar - would be a good place to come for drinks. They had a nice craft beer selection - but I was driving and so abstained from any such beverages. Maybe next time!
(5)Tina R.
Great cozy cabin atmosphere. The lobster bisque was thick and creamy with great flavor and large portions. I ordered the Filet ala carte with a loaded baked potato and my friend ordered Steak Christopher. Both steaks were cooked perfectly. And the sides were terrific. We had a great bottle of wine and a yummy chocolate mouse dessert. The service was terrific from the minute we walked in to the minute we left.
(4)Phoenix T.
The Cabin Club offers outstanding steaks paired with an excellent wine selection. If you are looking for a truly marvelous dining experience I would recommend sitting at the bar, the service from the bartenders (Katie and Tracy) is really exquisite, They were very attentive and anticipated my needs without me even having to ask for a refill. I would also suggest you try their outstanding ribs or the cowboy steak (a wonderful bone in rib eye not on the menu).
(5)Julie K.
My fiancé surprised me on my 30th birthday by taking me to Cabin Club. He made reservations for 7 pm and we were seated pretty quickly. It was evident how nice everyone was and the ambiance of the restaurant was so calming and perfect for a birthday or any other type of celebration. It was also romantic. Our waitress, Leilani, was attentive and extremely nice. I am very picky when it comes to steak and she helped to steer me in the right direction. I ordered the Blackened Bleu Prime delMonico and it was INCREDIBLE. It was so good that I wish I never got full because even as I type this, my mouth is still watering. My fiancé was very happy with his meal as well. Jonathan, the manager, came over to see how everything was going and he was so nice and very down to Earth! It's so wonderful so see such good people working together. You can tell that everyone enjoys working there and that to me is a huge plus! I realize I am rambling all over the place, but I have to mention the bread. They gave us a bread basket when we sat down and it was so warm and delightful. Yum. They knew I was celebrating my birthday and that it was our first time there, so they surprised us with two desserts with a candle in each :-) It really made my day. We have already decided to go back for our next occasion! Thank you, Cabin Club, for making my birthday so special and memorable!
(5)John M.
The Cabin Club was always the place to impress! The decore / ambiance are impeccable. The service is top notch. The food is even better. I always ordered the Lobster Bisque and it never failed to deliver. My favorite entree was the steak Oscar and it always rocked. Top Notch!
(4)Diana L.
After eating here last night, I was so full and happy that I went to bed and had a great night's sleep. The appetizers (baked artichoke dip and calamari) were delicious but the steak (center cut filet mignon) with a side of broccoli was divine. Best steak I've had in a long time. I also had the French onion soup which is different than a traditional clean onion soup. There was more flavor in the broth and I believe the crouton was toasted. For dessert I had the cheesecake which was caramel that night (chef's choice). It was a true light but still rich cheesecake with just enough caramel flavor. The decor had a warm but sophisticated feeling just like the name implies. Finally the service was excellent. There was a snow storm that night and we had friends coming from afar. So we say, drank, and ate appetizers for an hour before ordering and they were always attentive and genuinely friendly.
(5)Walter Z.
I've been here a few times now for lunch with colleagues. The food never disappoints. Their lunch specials are always good and the prices are very decent for the high quality of food and service you receive.
(5)Jaret K.
I love this quaint place for a good steak and lobster bisque. Expect to pay some money but it's one of the better steak places around westlake. The atmosphere is unique with a cabin interior and exterior.
(4)Philip Y.
Great food. Loved the lobster bisque
(4)Tina C.
Always busy! Make a reservation if you can. We left on a weekday once because the wait was an hour! I love the ribs and the shrimp appetizer. They have anchovies for the caesar salad if you're into that ...
(5)Mandy T.
This time I went for dinner and it was a much better experience! Made a reservation and I liked how that asked if it was for a special occasion, which was for my birthday. I went to Red steakhouse in beachwood last year and it wasn't even asked nor acknowledged. We were seated right away and greeted with water and warm fresh bread with whipped butter that was to die for! I ordered the house Malbec which was awesome! The French onion soup which surprisingly came with the meal was typical French onion but good. Caesar salad was not that fresh and very bland dressing which I was shocked about, so I'd pass on that. We both ordered the Steak Christopher which is two 3-4oz filets toped with two jumbo shrimp and finished with bernaise. It comes with asparagus and garlic mash but I had to sub for the famous lobster mash that I always get at Blue point as well! Can we say delish!! Loved my meal! To top it all off I was greeted with a delicious chocolate mouse shooter with Oreo crumble, compliments of the house for my birthday! Service was a bit slow but it was sat night at 6:30 so you'll have that. Cabin club redeemed themselves for dinner. I may have to give happy hour another try?
(4)Sherry M.
We went to this restaurant for a special occasion--my son's 18th birthday. I mentioned this when making the reservation as well as when we arrived at the door. You would have thought the hostess or the waitress could have said "happy birthday" to him, as he was standing right there, and neither of them did. Very odd. I had the Delmonico steak, which surprisingly had a decent amount of fat on it--not expected nor desired. I also had the French Onion Soup, which was nothing spectacular. Personally, I feel we would have had a much better experience at Outback, and we would have saved ourselves $80 - $100. Anyone can see that Cabin Club is overpriced, unless you enjoy that type of "elite" atmosphere when dining, I guess that's what you're really paying for. We did not enjoy it, maybe our expectations were too high. Service was not exceptionally great, food was good, but we definitely will not be returning. We spent just shy of $200 for five people, and not one of us was all that impressed. :( You know that sinking feeling when you leave a very expensive place and you all say, wow, we should have went somewhere else? Hopefully I can save someone that feeling.
(3)Sue T.
We live in California and were out visiting our son and family. Our son, who lives in Brooklyn, OH recommended the restaurant so we went there for his birthday. There were 5 in the group - including our 1 year old granddaughter. You wouldn't think a place like this was ideal for babies - but you're wrong. They were FANTASTIC. When we arrived, the table was set with her high chair in place and nothing around it to cause a problem. That's right, no sharp utensils or stemware. Perfect. The manager came over to insure everything was to our satisfaction (it was). Food was excellent from steak, to crab legs to chicken. But the nicest part was when the baby needed a diaper change. The bathroom wasn't able to handle this task so they took my daughter-in-law downstairs and into a private area where she could be changed and brought back up to the restaurant. Now that's customer service. Loved the log cabin ambiance. So go for the food - - and bring the kids!
(5)Frank P.
Wow, Mac and cheese with spicy shrimp! Steak u can cut with a fork, awesome place best Cleveland area has to offer I'm thinking.
(5)Gary R.
Stopped in about a year ago to get a drink and ordered their Chocolate Mouse. It was to die for and my wife is not a fan of chocolate. I had ordered one because she did not want any sweets. I gve her the second bite and she took it away from me. LOL love is so giving. She took me back on the forth os April for a romantic dinner the night before I turned Sixty. We should have gotten reservations but the manager squeezed us in at a little corner table. The food was faboulious and the wait staff was friendly, efficient with out being intrusive. We had a wonderful time. Considering the quality of food the bill was reasonable. Service got a tip that goggled my wife's eyes. I can not recommend this restraunt enough.
(5)Geraldine K.
Went for Happy Hour - great food great price. Women Bartenders RUDE and UNFRIENDLY!! Especially if a FEMALE!! Cater to MEN REGULARS!! Need a Younger and More Friendly Bartenders!!
(3)George M.
great atmosphere and good food..I know it was close to closing time but as a restaurant and a chef you still have to execute every dish to its finest especially when your paying $30+ a dish.. Ordered a steak med/well and not cooked to temp.. The chef did not let my steak rest and served on my dish with blood on my dish.. Def a sign of lazy from chef if there's a certified chef in kitchen or just an experience cook...will be back but not anytime soon.
(3)Alan F.
From the first steps in the door, the hosts and servers, the wine list and menu, and the meal (perfect steak) I consider this my new favorite Cleveland spot. A lucky Chicagoan introduced by some local friends who have known CC for years, this place is special and I will be back.
(4)Rita T.
Just saying this place is an actual log cabin doesn't do it justice. Inside, the cozy one-room restaurant's log walls are polished to a warm glow right up to the gabled rafters--all the decor needed. Cream linen table cloths and soft sconce lighting add a touch of elegance to support the quality menu, but the ambiance and friendly staff keep a relaxed feel. Our meal had not one mis-step. Service and timing was great, steaks were the best we've had in a long time--and we loved our crispy peach crisp and flourless chocolate cake desserts. Be sure to call ahead for reservations!
(5)Alex S.
This place specializes in steak and they do a pretty great job. It's constantly busy so reservations are recommended. The service was decent and the cucumber mojito was great. The atmosphere is a nice steakhouse feel with, of course, cabin-like decor. It is a more expensive steakhouse but they also have a great seafood menu.
(4)Mike C.
We've heard about the Cabin Club for some time and were anxious to experience it for ourselves. The atmosphere was warm and inviting which was perfect on this cool October evening. Unfortunately that's where the positives end. The service was average at best as our party of 4 seemed to be more of a nuisance to our server then anything else. While that was unfortunate, the real disappointment came when the food arrived. The spinach salad came loaded with raw onions even after we requested NO onions. The "special" bone-in ribeye was over done. Prepared medium was described to us as a bright pink center. Instead we were greeted with a hot grey center, portions of which were down right dry. It's possible the reason for this was that it was the thinnest cut of ribeye we've ever come across, chuckling on our way home that our cuts at Costco are better. Had we been by ourselves we would have asked to speak with a manager but we were with friends and did not want them to feel uncomfortable. Underwhelmed is the word of the day for our first experience at the Cabin Club.
(2)Dan S.
When I think great steakhouse in Cleveland the Cabin Club is always my first choice. Great cozy intimate atmosphere. It's literally a log cabin - hence the name. Passing by from the outside it doesn't look like much, but once you step through the doors you can tell immediately that you're about to get an amazing meal. Lobster hush puppies are my favorite starter. The blacked bleu delmonico is out of this world, too! After a hard day of work, or to celebrate a special occasion the Cabin Club is in my opinion the best place. It's been the far westside's best little secret for many many years.
(5)Tom J.
Two words: Lobster Bisque. Do not go to Cabin Club without ordering the Lobster Bisque. There are no exceptions. Service and food are always a plus here. Food is fantastic and you cannot beat the deals available during the working day at lunch - the price you pay for the food you get is spot on. Don't change a thing. The only thing I would add is some aspects of the restaurant are slightly in need of repair/updating. For example, there is a vent/heating/cooling duct in the restaurant that has one of those plastic covers hanging from it. The lighting can sometimes always be shining right in your face depending where you sit in the restaurant too. I've taken customers here for lunch on occasion twice now (1) had to move because of the vent blowing cold air on her - I switched seats with her and it was literally blowing right in my face, and (2) the lighting again - seriously blinding. Other than that, again: Lobster Bisque.
(4)Johnny M.
This is an outstanding place to eat. Best service and food I've had in a long time. You get what you pay for. I usually like my meat medium well but here I get it medium rare with lots of bold flavor.
(5)Pat P.
Mediocre steak I've been here many times before and it's hit or miss on the service. The atmosphere is nice I have a cocktail in but I like a good bar area.
(2)Jason V.
I've been to Cabin Club three times now--all for dinner. It's a very small restaurant--literally a cabin, hence the title. Adding to the charm, the staff was very friendly and attentive. I definitely had no problems with the steak on my first two visits. The third time, however, I went on a mission to compare it directly to XO Prime Steaks where I had lunched a few weeks earlier. Coincidentally, the special that night was a bone-in ribeye--exactly what I had at XO. Almost with regret, I have to say that the XO steak won the match. The Cabin Club bone-in ribeye tasted almost flat by comparison. The saga continues; I'm sure that these won't be my last visits to these restaurants. I remain a fan of Cabin Club.
(4)Ben J.
I was surprised when I arrived at 8:30 not to find a place at the bar. After waiting for about 15 min one opened up and was immediately greeted by two lovely waitstaff. I know what I wanted after reviewing the menu online, ordering steak Christopher and the house salad, I said I would pass on the bread. I really enjoyed the cabin salad) on of the best) with their house dressing. The steak was juicy and cooked perfectly along with some asparagus and shrimp. This was by far the best deal on the menu. It was a bit loud but definitely a neat place to go, now one of my Cleveland favorites.
(5)Lauren S.
Yeah definitely a solid 4 stars. The atmosphere is great - a hunting lodge feel (cabin indeed!) with studio lighting and quirky window shades featuring bookshelf illustrations. I had a really great cut of Strip steak, cooked really well. I've had better, but it was really great and hit the spot pretty hardcore. My company had tbone and troat and they loved their food as well. Also, the banana bread pudding and the lemon cheesecake are definitely worth trying. Solid.
(4)Ed G.
I went for Mother's Day with my family. Service was beyond my expectations. Everyone's meal was really great. Mom had ribs that she really liked, tender and falling off the bone. My steak was cooked exactly how I like it. The fish dishes were good too.
(5)Mariela M.
First time here. Excellent steaks. So far, the only place that does "Pittsburgh style" the right way in Cleveland.
(5)Annamarie M.
Great food and service! I recommend making a reservation ahead of time due to the size of the restaurant, but overall, this is one of my favorite places to go around Westlake.
(4)Jeff P.
I flew in from California to have dinner with my mom who was on hospice . The service from Anndrea was fantastic. Good place
(3)Stacey M.
Always a great meal, fantastic service and creative menu. Try the buffalo spring rolls, lobster bisque and their express lunch if you pop in for lunch.
(4)Beth M.
OK I had to write a review....when my husband took his new job in Cleveland it was one of the first questions I asked... Was Cabin Club still in business? It had been at least 15 years since my first trip to CC and from the first day of my week long stay in Cleveland... I went 4 times! This place in amazing! Steaks are the best! The sides are awesome! Service is top notch! Not really for kids but we had a couple with us who's babysitter cancelled at the last minute so we the 2 year old....and the chef made her mac-n-cheese...at the time it wasn't on the menu. But after they brought it to our table the entire restaurant was trying to order....so I'm sure it's on the menu by now! ; ) AWESOME place!
(5)Deborah P.
Although it is not an inexpensive dining experience, the quality of the food and excellent atmosphere is worth the expense! It's perfect for special occasions and dressing up is an expectation on weekends. We are particular fans of the Surf n Turf and the Chocolate Mousse is simply delicious! Be sure to call ahead for reservations and dress code for the evening (it depends on the night)!
(5)Roger B.
Nice higher end steak and seafood. Have had many great meals here and if you are looking for a good steak you can't go wrong here!
(5)Anne H.
Reliable quotidian steakhouse. The food and service are predictably good. This is a fantastic place to take the in laws. There isn't anything exciting or inventive here. The menu is the same as a few of their other restaurants, but the quality is good and you know what to expect.
(3)Hank B.
The steak was one of the best I've had in Cleveland. The sides were tasty and the cornbread side was just awesome. Unfortunately due to the mediocre service, I have to give Cabin Club a three. Our server was slow and could not get her timing right. We had a very long wait between getting drinks and our order being taken followed by another long wait before salads and soups were brought to the table. Our table of four had 2 soups and two salads. First one soup appeared. Minutes later the salads and a few minutes after that the final soup (the lobster bisque is outstanding!) It would have been better had all the soups and salads appeared together. Our steaks did show up together, however once done, there was another long wait for a dessert menu, more time spent waiting for her to take dessert orders, etc. To be fair, our server was friendly, just seemed disorganized. The atmosphere was more bar than steakhouse. That's not a complaint, just a statement. The food was good enough that we'll be back. I'm just hoping the service improves by then.

Great food, friendly staff and wonderful ambiance. A must try dining experience. Kathy Avon

Quite simply, a great meal! The food: As an appetizer, we split the sampler and it was very good. The calamari were perfectly cooked, tender and lightly breaded. The buffalo spring rolls were crispy and zesty. The BBQ shrimp were tasty and the sauce on them was delicious, but there was just a little too much on there. The special of the night of my visit was a rack of lamb with mashed potatoes and green beans. The lamb was tender, juicy and cooked to perfection. My sister ordered the Java-Crusted Sirloin and it was delicious. Well-seasoned and tender! My parents ordered the Steak Christopher and absolutely loved it. The service:...was outstanding! Our waitress was attentive, slightly sassy, and very, very good! She was able to talk in detail about everything on the menu...a lost art in this world of crappy chain places! The management team clearly knows what it's doing with their staff! Reservations are a must, as this place is very small. Great job!
(5)John H.
Steaks are always great. Nice atmosphere. Good happy hour menu at the bar. They bartenders know how to make a good drink!
(5)Kristen J.
My phone is ringing and it's the Cabin Club short ribs calling.......Yum yum! You must note that I get one dish & one dish only here so keep that in mind for my review. It's totally biased. Cabin Club hands down has the best Braised Beef Short Ribs I've ever had and they keep me coming back......decor is a bit campy for me but I think overall, it's a local CLE based chain as part of a larger group of local restaurants with great food and the bar/restaurant is always packed so it must be good. I'm glad the Crocker Park Mall chains haven't affected the business here @ CC. Decent wine list too....some hard to find labels are on the menu (Duckhorn, Stags Leap).
(4)Baklava S.
Five very solid stars! My loved one and I were meeting his father at the Cabin Club. All of us are from several states away. Since we are not familiar with Cleveland restaurants, we were literally taking a chance on Cabin Club. Wow, am I glad we did. Our experience here was perfection. My BF's father waited for us at the bar. He said that he could tell that most of the people there were locals. It was Friday night, and the place was packed but not overly-so. The atmosphere is energetic yet still comforting. We were immediately seated at a nice corner booth where we would be able to talk to each other. From the get-go until we were done, our waitress, JoAnn (I hope that is right) was outstanding. What a pro! She was both patient and sharp. She was helpful and unassuming with the wine list. She didn't flinch and was extremely informative when my picky BF ordered his meal and asked about every single aspect of what was served with it. She insisted he get the salad dressing on the side and then followed up later to make sure he liked it. She also didn't flinch when my BF's father made a meal out of three appetizers. The way they served it was beautiful, too. Finally, we hogged her booth almost all evening, and not for a moment did I get the impression she was trying to rush us or get rid of us. She and the rest of the staff visibly work hard and do a great job at making everyone feel at home. But just as much as the service, we would come back for the amazing food. Where to start? My (remember, picky) BF had "the best pork chop of his life". Seriously, it did look huge and juicy; bone in with rice and green beans. I had shrimp and scallops over lobster mashed. Whoever invented this dish must be an angel, but the way it was cooked and put together is what made it amazing. The shrimp were deliciously grilled; the scallops perfect in texture, and the mashed flavorful and not overly greasy/buttery like some places. Unfortunately, I could not finish it after all of the french onion soup and bread I'd had. :( ! All of the food was really, really, really great and definitely unlike any food we get anywhere else. (Side note: I live in Phoenix/Scottsdale, and there are a lot of amazing restaurants, but still no food even close to what Cabin Club's is like). Finally, I am NOT a dessert person at all, but we ordered a peach cobbler. The men scooped it down, and I had a bite or two. Let's just say that there is no disappointment in this dessert. Not too sugary-sweet, cooked with fresh peaches, and topped with quality ice cream. It was just plain tasty. The feel of the cabin, the "old" bathrooms, and the "slight imperfections" of the buildling, to me, are what makes this place so comfortable. Except for the freezing cold air conditioning, I felt very much at home here. Next time we are in Cleveland, I can guarantee we'll be making reservations here again. We had a truly special evening here with uniquely amazing food.

I wanted to treat my boyfriend to a nice dinner for our two-year anniversary. I came across this steak house online and found their menu to be mouth-watering. We arrived to a cozy, low-lit atmosphere with extremely friendly staff. Our reservation time was immediately accommodated and we were promptly seated in a quiet corner (when you call to make your reservation, they ask if it's for a special occasion and what it is) Our server was pleasantly chatty and treated us as though I'd imagine she would if she were waiting on family members. We shared drinks, an appetizer, and steaks - all of which were mouthwatering from start to finish. My steak was large enough that I had leftovers that were perfectly boxed up and enjoyed the next day. A complimentary dessert was brought out in honor of our special day as well. Every part of our visit was phenomenal and worth every dollar spent. We will certainly be back to visit this exquisite Westlake dining treasure.

I had a great experience here. Our server gave us a fantastic Pinot Noir recommendation which we'll definitely add to our list of favorites. The blackened scallop appetizer was outstanding. I don't know what they put in that sauce (some kind of mustard maybe?), but I sopped it all up with my bread. The lobster bisque was delicious - comparable to Pier W. Because of this bisque, I was unable to finish most of my meal :) My filet was cooked perfectly, just as I requested, as was my lobster tail. The table next to us had several children seated at it, which I thought would be a nuissnace, but I hardly noticed them. The prices were not as high as I thought they would be either. Can't wait to go back!

I have eaten here many times over the past 5 years. The food is excellent and service is top notch. Smaller place that originally was a log cabin but very nice inside and out. A little pricey but always a good choice.

This is the first review - this is just wrong? Cabin Club is my favorite restaurant in Cleveland. Maybe that is because it was the first good restaurant I went to when I moved there and my wife and family have been there many times. My brother-in-law especially likes the restaurant. This is a restaurant that knows what it does well and does only that. You might think the menu is limited and you'd be right and don't go if you are vegan. This place does steak, steak and more steak. Yes, they have seafood, pork chops and maybe a veal dish, but steak is where it's at and what you need to order. My appetizer favorites are the fried calamari, blackened scallops and last, but not least, the best lobster bisque you can find in Ohio. Salads are excellent as well. Hands down, the best steakhouse in the Cleveland area. Just try the Strip Steak - blackened with bleu cheese or with peppercorn glaze. Or the Steak Christopher. Excellent!!! Let me say it again - the best steakhouse in the Cleveland area - probably in the whole state of Ohio. Reservations are practically mandatory as the place is quite small. I went in one night with a co-worker without reservations and we had to wait at the bar for an hour - in itself not a bad place to be since the drinks are large and strong. One of the best things about the Cabin Club is the fact that the same wait staff was there after we had been going for 4 years. Always a good sign. Bottom line, go to the Cabin club and write a review so more people can enjoy!
