Sad But True July 28, 2007 Food Service Atmosphere Cleanliness Overall        The Sawyer House has been a perennial favorite since we arrived in the area in 2001. We dine there 3-4 times a year. Over the past year, though, quality and service has declined. Lunch today was "sad but true". It started with a fast round of soft drinks, but no condiments on the table for iced tea, and no offers of refills for the entire meal. Then a 40-minute wait for the first food including bread, but only a 2-minute separation between appetizers and entrees. And the food, sadly a big disappointment... salmon burnt to a crisp on one side (burnt side down), over-salted burger (and I love salt). An offer to credit the burger, but no manager to relay our concerns (was this a factor of the teenage wait staff?). Our experience is that the wait staff is more mature and service-oriented for the dinner crowd. All-in-all a poor dining experience... and watch out for the pot-hole when pulling in off of Mentor Ave. It is big enough to sink a small car. Review By: Will From Mentor Ave., Mentor

June 03, 2005        Set amid the general hubbub of strip malls and saloons so pervasive along Mentor Avenue, a warm, inviting tavern with the culinary prowess of the Sawyer House may too often be overlooked; if you fail to take notice, however, it's certainly your loss. Welcomed by an elevated bar area outfitted with dark walnut stools and tables, and a take-away wine room filled with bottles of red, white and every color in between, patrons may wish to pop in for a quick lunch or to select a bottle for that special occasion. Lunch favorites include a pasta - as well as a pizza - de jour, sandwiches, salads and soups; try the velvety lobster bisque, a dish that accurately reflects the tavern's hearty look and feel, and is especially tasty when sopped up with a bit of the complimentary fresh-baked garlic focaccia bread.The Sawyer House staff shouldn't be surprised if lunch customers come back for dinner, as the tavern's enticing evening menu, including steaks, chops, seafood and our favorite, a veal Wellington, is certain to cause more than a bit of temptation for a return visit.
