Timmer's Restaurant

Roaming around in Lake Country on a late Sunday afternoon after some time on Big Cedar Lake we were starving and tired. Timmer's was the recommended place closest to us, so we gave it a try. We were pleased by it's northern Wisconsin resort layout, and it's large patio looked full as we walked thru into the hostess station. No problem, we were about ready to eat off the floor if we had to, so as the main dining room looked 80% full, when we were told we could sit in the bar at a table (because we didn't have reservations) that was just fine. We were seated at a corner table, surrounded by windows---nice. As we read thru our menus time started to tick by, and it became apparent that we WEREN'T going to be waited on. I walked up to inquire with the bartender if we were to order the food thru him, or if we could expect a waitress. To say the bartender berated me would be a slight exaggeration, but lets just say he wasn't offering any  service to this customer. I was somewhat taken aback, and he had apparently been speaking at enough volume that my wife was looking at me aghast from our table. We promptly set our menus down, and walked out. I DID inform the 16 yr. old hostess (appeared to be the average age of MOST of the wait staff) about the unpleasantness, and that we wouldn't be dining with them, tonight or ever again. She had kind of a blank stare mouth open kind of look, and was saying something about the manager as the door was closing behind me.

Waitress said it was her first night, so we were understanding.  Food was excellent (swordfish and walleye),  then we noticed, after finishing our food that other tables were offered soup or salad with  their we entree.  Also we were never received any bread.  Upon pointing this out to the busboy (busgirl?), another waitress came over and apologized and said our waitress was new.  Who puts a new waitress on an evening shift without proper training or supervision?  Comped us desert, but this is a bad reflection on the restaurant.

This review is for Sunday Brunch.  Limited selection of items, but what they had was good.  Nothing out of the usual, just omelets, bacon, potatoes and some noodles and beef tips. No chicken or other meats.  Great atmosphere though. Because of such a limited offering I would not make the drive out for the Brunch again.
