Always a great time here. Food is amazing! We had the Calamari and Brie as apps and then the table has filet mignons, roasted duck and halibut cheeks. All of the meals were cooked perfect and they really know their sauces. Only negative thought was that it was a busy night and it was a little loud.

Stayed in the resort to go fishing. So after a day on the water going to Timbers was a great way to relax with great selection of beers on tap and some good wines. The dinners we enjoyed were wonderfully prepared and delicious. The chili Salmon, the halibut, and their steaks were all done to perfection. I can't forget the local oysters were incredibly good. The staff were all friendly and professional and made the meals that much more enjoyable.

Service was top-notch from starting to finish. Excellent food with a ton of gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options. Expect to spend $25-$40 on your entrée. (we both had left overs). Awesome interior design and convenient location downtown. We went this week and they were doing something special with DJs playing. It was about 2 to 3 notches too loud, which made conversation a bit challenging.

Very good food, excellent wine, but a little over priced. Husband ordered a whiskey and got a sip...maybe like 1 finger, maybe. Service was excellent and ambience was outstanding.
