I loved dining in this resturant. The huge fire made it seem so cozy. The food was really good. Fried zucchini had a really light and flavorful batter, can't wait to go back and try the fish and chips. Prime rib had a little yorkshire pudding on top, such a great presentation. Jill was our server, she was top notch.

We celebrated our 30 year anniversary here and enjoyed it. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The food was top notch. Best fried zucchini ever. It is pricey, but worth it. Highly recommend it.

This is built from the remaining timbers of the ellwood pier, which was one of the only places in America attacked by Japan during WWII by a Japanese submarine. The atmosphere transports you back to the days of western steak houses. They have some very old school dishes and some modern surprises. They have cocktails, steak, and Brussels sprouts to cheese beer pretzels. They had the fireplace going so there was a nice faint woody smoke smell, which enhanced the occasion.

This is a great place to bring the family for a nice dinner. It has a very spacious outdoor patio area, including a pool table, corn hole, and a play area for the kids. There are multiple personal seating areas for small groups that include comfortable seating and a fireplace at each location. The interior has a very rich history as well as a very comfortable feel of a long cabin in. The food is delicious and the staff are very professional and courteous. I would definitely recommend this for a night cap, or a happy hour kind of night, watching the game. The prices are great and the selection is amazing. Thanks guys, I will definitely be returning

Our first time dining here and we were craving bbq. The tri-tip was made Santa Maria style which my husband enjoyed. The bbq baby back ribs was meaty and tasty. Our server was attentive and the staff was friendly. The restaurant is huge and we liked the ambience.

it's a rustic large restaurant off the 101. Great old town service, good feel, good cozy vibe. Great staff and Service. Feel good options including tri-tip sliders, buffalo wings, large bar, outside appearance deceptive, nicely kept interior. Great for Corporate parties. Really nice outside open area for seating, game options as well.

My wife Shari and I went to Timbers on Valentine's Day for dinner. We had heard great things about the food and it was really excellent. The whole vibe in the restaurant was exciting and the service was extraordinary, wonderful, and exact. It had been over thirty-five years ago that we visited Timbers - it was closed for the longest time and it is wonderful to see it resurrected into a favorite local restaurant. It is especially nice for anyone who has any trouble hard-of-hearing. You can sit at a table against the wall or, like we did, we sat at a table in front with the wall behind our table, and it was great! Here's to the good times!
