My husband and I had a wonderful dinner last night at Timmer’s for an impromptu date night. We enjoyed the patio’s beautiful view of Big Cedar Lake and resort grounds. The patio was quite busy but service was spot on. The chef’s special Panzanella salad was fantastic and a perfect starter to our meal. My husband added
a chicken breast to his and it was actually cooked very well-not dried out/overcooked one bit. We had the mussels appetizer (as an entree) and another chef’s special of seafood scampi for our dinner entrees-both were fantastic! The seafood was cooked perfectly. So often one finds over cooked seafood, especially in a blended seafood dish such as this seafood scampi, but the scallops, shrimp and lobster were all cooked to perfection! We enjoyed an after dinner drink at the bar and the bartenders were very attentive and friendly. We can’t wait to go back again. The weekly specials posted on Facebook have looked amazing and brought us in last night and I am sure they will bring us back in again very soon!
The location is beautiful. Service was fantastic and I can't begin to describe the food. It was soooo good. We were celebrating our anniversary and they wished us well many times. Had a great time and will do it again.
Outstanding restaurant. The bar is beautiful with awesome views of the lake and property. Service is excellent and drinks are wonderful. The restaurant is beautiful but seating is limited. Make a reservation. Parking is great. We had the scallops and chicken. The chef is excellent. Here scallops were awesome and her risotto was awesome.
The Mother's Day brunch was fabulous. We love Timmers!
So many things to ❤ about a night out at Timmer's Resort on Big Cedar Lake! They check all the boxes for an overall amazing dining experience. From the moment you walk in the door you are greeted by a smiling face and a warm welcome from Catey Seitz and staff. ✅ Box One Checked (friendly front of house)
As you enter the dining room you get to enjoy the warmth of a wood burning fire on a cold night. Between you and me I would have enjoyed sitting by the fire with Anne a bit more than my friend Roric Griffith but he is a close second for sure 😉😆! It was great conversation with a guy, I am privileged enough to call a friend. He has some pretty exciting ideas, that I am looking forward to being a part of.
✅ Box Two (ambiance) & Three Checked (great company)
We had a chance to sit and look over the menu before John Levine appeared from the kitchen to introduce himself and make a few recommendations. The menu is very straight forward and I always love seeing a daily or weekly specials option addon.
✅ Box Four Checked (great menu choices - with specials)
For the sake of simplicity and to humor ourselves we both opted to allow the Chef to determine our course with a few simple directions on what Roric doesn't like and to our delight they were happy to indulge us! (YES I COPIED RORIC)
I had the Chef's Seasonal Salad, which was fresh and full of flavor. The pickled red onions and the goat cheese were perfectly complimented by the raspberry poppy seed vinaigrette dressing. The Seared Scallops were golden-brown and the inside was tender and creamy, just right! Plus they decided we needed another half of a dinner so they brought us the Chef Special Scallop Primavera. Excellent! I agree with Roric, I would come back and order (either of) these dishes AGAIN! ✅ Box Five Checked (great food)
Then dessert! How could we even possibly consume anymore... Yeah right we are talking about #desserts and I always have room for that! We allowed them to choose for us and apparently we still looked hungry, so they brought out 4 desserts to share, LOL! My eyes were bigger than my stomach. I thought for sure the cheesecake would be the winner for me but the bread pudding was for sure the star dessert for me. ✅ Box Six Checked (YUMMY - DESSERTS) We also tried the Luxardo Cherry Creme Brulee and the Schaum Torte.
My suggestion would be go check them out, soon! It is going to be a great experience all the way around. I have every intention of returning again with Anne for a dinner date in the near future.
Timmers is one of my regular "go to" places. The food and service are great. The atmosphere from Friday night music to outside dining with the lake view is outstanding. A fire place in the bar and main dining area adds to the experience.
Great service, especially for us "walk-ins" on Valentine's Day. Audra was wonderful, food was excellent. Finished off with traditional old fashioned and grasshopper! Delish!
