We return to our favorite restaurants and order our favorite dish every time because we know it is always amazing. But, this month, it is time to branch out and tantalize your taste buds.

This issue features two very delicious yet unique-from-oneanother resturants that we love! Additionally, we've highlighted a local company that specializes in creating beautiful wood tops and tables as well as charcuterie boards and cutting boards – after all, the perfect compliment to any nice dish is how and where it is served.

The Galaxy Restaurant Wine Room

THE GALAXY DINING AND ENTERTAINMENT CENTER IN WADSWORTH HAS MADE A NAME FOR ITSELF SINCE IT OPENED ITS DOORS IN 2000 BY PROVIDING A FACILITY THAT SERVES LOCAL CUSTOMERS WITH THREE UNIQUE RESTAURANTS AS WELL AN ELEGANT BANQUET CENTER THAT SERVES UP TO 500 PEOPLE. The Circle L Steakhouse at the Galaxy prepares the finest quality meats and steaks that you would typically find in sophisticated metropolitan steakhouses. They serve steaks from cattle that are raised 20 minutes down the road at the Circle L Farm in Burbank, which has been in Galaxy Senior Vice President Sean Leatherman’s family farm for 40 years now. The farm produces LimFlex cattle, which are a combination of French Limousin Cattle and Angus. The connection between the restaurant and the farm allows them to offer a unique farm-to-table experience that is known for its freshness and authenticity. The steakhouse offers two menus, one is a standard main menu with appetizers, entrees, salads, sides, steaks and seafood dishes, which customers rave about. Circle L also features Executive Chef Jonathon Martin’s Weekly Chef’s Table Menu, which is a special menu that is carefully put together – complete with glass and bottle pairings of wines for each entrée. The Weekly Menu is posted on the Galaxy website every Wednesday night and runs until the following Tuesday night. Circle L’s décor blends a rustic, ranch-type feel with a tranquil and dimly-lit blue sky dome for ambiance. The walls are decorated with original art that was inspired by cave paintings found in Lascoux, France, that feature primitive drawings of Limousin cattle that are native to that region. The Galaxy’s second restaurant is the Wine Room, an award-winning wine bar and restaurant that features a cellar with over 4,000 bottles and an extensive wine list. The list offers 450 different labels of wine and over 50 different glasses of wine to enjoy as well. Since 2016, the Wine Room has achieved “Best Of” status from Wine Spectator Magazine. Sean points out that only about a dozen or so restaurants in Ohio have achieved this award. He goes on to say, CONTINUED >

CityLifestyle.com/MedinaCounty

THE GALAXY RESTAURANT (CONTINUED)

“We are serious about wine here and over the years we have been able to accumulate some very good stuff. So if you’re looking for something different, we really have something for everybody.” Behind the bar you will find a top-of-the-line wine dispenser that preserves open bottles of wine for up to a year and allows customers to enjoy a rare, high-end wine by the glass instead of having to buy an entire bottle, which would cost significantly more. “The Wine Station is able to pressurize bottles of wine under gas so that oxygen cannot reach the wine,” Sean says. “It allows us to showcase certain wines that customers might not normally try because of price, so instead of buying a $150 bottle of wine, you could try a 3-ounce or 6-ounce glass just to taste it.” One thing I noticed at both the Wine Bar and the Circle L Steakhouse is that Sean and the entire Galaxy team have gone to great measures to ensure that their customers’ health and safety are a top priority while dining with them. In the Wine Room, for instance, tables are spaced out much more than the minimum requirement of six feet apart and partitions are put up every two seats at the bar so couples and friends can sit together without infringing on the next patron’s space. Additional movable partitions are available for staff to install when a special seating arrangement may be required within the room. “I think it’s important for everyone to know, because it’s so prevalent in everyone’s mind. We are doing all that we can to allow our customers to socially distance and still enjoy a night out for a nice meal or a glass of wine,” Sean says. The third restaurant at the Galaxy is the Sports Bar & Patio, one-of-a-kind destination for sports entertainment. It features 30 HD TV’s broadcasting non-stop sports and other programming as well as outdoor bar and patio that is best enjoyed during the warmer months. During my tour of the massive facility, Sean was able to show off the Banquet Center at the Galaxy as well. The center is spacious and versatile. The Galaxy is able to accommodate weddings, seminars, proms, business meetings and social events with ease. To check on pricing and information for the Banquet Center, contact Shelbie Johnson at shelbiej@galaxyrestaurant.com or visit GalaxyBanquetCenter.com.

He continues: “I see potential in trees and logs that others often miss. Some of the trees that I work with have parts that have rotted or ant trails that used to run through them – all of that adds character to the wood that only nature can produce. Because he chooses to work with trees that include many unique natural features, his drying process includes kiln drying and sterilization. Ron explains that skipping either one of these steps would be detrimental to the overall quality of the wood. When it comes to applying a finish, Ron prefers to preserve as much of the tree’s natural characteristics as possible. “I don’t create beautiful slabs, I just expose the wood’s natural beauty,” he says. And Ron’s work isn’t just beautiful, it’s durable and requires very little maintenance. Further, Ron never cuts corners – he completes each step meticulously to ensure each finished piece of wood is as maintenance-free as possible. Whether he’s creating a wooden accent wall or a charcuterie board, Ron leaves no stone unturned when executing a project. His extremely

hands-on

approach

relates to his over 30 years of contracting experience, where he spent decades working with celebrity clientele and winning various national awards for his work. “I moved to Cleveland to be with someone I didn’t want to live without and the opportunity to reinvent myself was a very nice caveat,” Ron says. And reinvent himself he did – repurposing years of industry knowledge to build his own business and ultimately create some of the finest wood products in Northeast Ohio.

EXPERIENCE FINE DINING HOWEVER IS MOST COMFORTABLE FOR YOU

Medina County Lifestyle | October 2020

THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC HAS WREAKED HAVOC ON BUSINESSES ACROSS THE COUNTRY, ESPECIALLY THOSE IN THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE INDUSTRY. To survive these tumultuous times, restaurants began getting creative – offering takeout, curbside pickup, delivery and online ordering. For some fine dining establishments like Timber Lodge, take out wasn’t their norm but it quickly became a way to not only survive but thrive. “We changed our model to keep us going during COVID,” says Timber Lodge owner Lynn Zarcone. “Before the pandemic, we only offered takeout during the weekdays and people had to come into the restaurant to order – we didn’t take orders online or over the phone. Now, we not only offer to take orders over the phone, but we also offer online ordering for pick-up orders and delivery via DeliverMeFood.com. Because of this, we never slowed down and we never closed.” Lynn explains that they even sold two 12-pound lobsters as takeout dishes during the pandemic. “Lobsters are a great draw. People love them, whether they’re eating them at the restaurant or ordering them as takeout,” says Lynn. Lobsters are, in fact, so popular at Timber Lodge that they offer lobster deals and specials during the fall instead of doing clambakes. “We always do our lobster deal for the season as well as special features [during the fall months], instead of a clambake – it’s just what we do,” says Lynn. “Every week we feature something different – lobster rolls, lobster caesar salad, lobster fritters and more.” Timber Lodge has always been lauded for its enormous, juicy lobsters, but their steaks and chops are also highly celebrated. From their 14-ounce Delmonico steak, 9-ounce center-cut filet mignon, 45-ounce tomahawk steak and rotissery prime rib that is cooked daily, Timber Lodge has long been recognized for offering some of the best cuts in Northeast Ohio. And it doesn’t end there. Timber Lodge’s menu and daily specials include chicken and seafood dishes, fresh salads, surf and turf, a variety of exquisite appetizers and a wine list complete with pairings for every dish.
