CORKSCREW SALOON, LLC

What CORKSCREW SALOON, LLC does

Corkscrew Saloon, LLC operates a single-location, full-service restaurant under the trade name "The Corkscrew Saloon" from The Burnham House, an 1850s Victorian mansion at 811 West Liberty Street in Medina, Ohio. The business was founded in 2008 by Executive Chef Ryan Marino, a Medina native, and serves a New American menu focused on seafood and steaks, with sourcing from local farms (Arters Acres, Richardson Farms) and Pacific Ocean seafood. Service hours are limited to dinner Tuesday through Saturday (2pm-9pm), reflecting an upscale, dine-in-led positioning, and the venue enforces a business casual dress code.

Beyond the dine-in core, the company generates revenue from carryout and delivery, gift cards sold online in $10-$100 denominations, full-service catering for groups of 8 to 1,000 guests (including bridal/baby showers at $21/person, dinner buffets at $42/person, and traditional New England-style off-premise clam bakes at $48/person), seasonal holiday family meal packages, and ticketed themed dining events such as bourbon tastings and wine dinners priced $65-$144 per person. The kitchen is led by Marino together with Master Chef David (Culinary Institute of America graduate) and Executive Sous Chef Mike (with the restaurant since 2008).

The go-to-market is a traditional direct-to-consumer restaurant model: phone and Yelp Rez reservations, an email newsletter, a Facebook presence, and the company website as the central information and gift card commerce hub. Distribution is single-geography (Medina, Ohio) with no evidence of multi-location expansion, institutional investment, or parent company ownership; the entity is a founder-owned, bootstrapped Ohio LLC with nine total employees.
