Out with Tim and Theresa. I am the pianist for their wedding coming up in January so they took me out for dinner. This used to be Timberlodge Steak House in Stillwater and as of September 2005 it's the Old Sawmill Grill & Bar. It tries very hard to be very "Northwoodish" but is so fake that I might as well be at a log cabin in Vegas. On the back of some of the tshirts here it says "Where the THRILL is in the GRILL." Heh. The thrill is waiting to be seen.

Unlike a lot of places in Stillwater, this place is devoid of any authentic personality or charm. The dead fox and goose near the antique chemical sprayer rested next to our table.

Ordered one of the few quality beers they had on tap and then found some food I wanted. Humorously, the fish and chips doesn't come with the chips. The fries are a seperate side item. No problem. The chips were the best part anyway.

Tim's beer had a strange thing floating on top that he got out with his knife. Fun.

The "tablecloth" on the tables is a large square sheet of paper put at a 45 degree angle so the corners come down quite a bit on the sides. Last time Theresa visited she got a papercut. Tim drew a "Nelsor" on ours.

Overall, it was a fun time and it wansn't a bad experience. Great company, and thanks to Tim for picking up the tab. I am stuffed.
