Customer Review Summary
The Turf Room boasts a neat and romantic atmosphere, featuring a fire pit and an extensive bar area. The food received high praise, with standout dishes like the NY Strip, pork chop, and sea scallop pasta, although there were a few misses like the bone marrow mashed potatoes. Service was generally attentive and accommodating, even rectifying kitchen errors with complimentary desserts. The ambiance strikes a balance between casual and upscale, making it a great spot for both relaxed and sophisticated dining. Prices are considered reasonable for the quality and portions offered, and cocktails like the old-fashioned and martinis are well-crafted. While most guests had positive experiences, one patron reported delays in service during a busy New Year’s Eve, along with presentation issues for their meal, leading to mixed feelings about a return visit. Overall, the restaurant is well-received, with many expressing a desire to return and try more of the menu.

Turf has the neatest atmosphere!! Upon your arrival there’s a fire pit outside, a beautiful bar area that goes for a mile, sexy and romantic atmosphere & the best saddle up bathroom stalls that are a must check out.. they have a lot of wine and beer, options and delicious desserts, including the Famous Blueberry cheesecake..!!!

Food was outstanding! And the ambiance has a great balance between casual/relaxed and upscale. I would definitely recommend trying to make a reservation near the main fireplace if possible! I ordered a NY Strip and my wife got the surf & turf. They were super busy in the kitchen and made a mistake with my wife’s order. The staff did everything in their power to remedy the situation and even gave us complimentary desserts. The food and service more than made up for the simple kitchen error. We will definitely be back.

What a wonderful restaurant. It creates a sophisticated atmosphere while still being casual. Prices were reasonable for the quality and portion you got. The old-fashioned was delicious. We ordered the Sea Scallop, the Jambalaya, Tres Hummus, and Ahola Duck Egg Rolls. All were very delicious. The sea scallop pasta was cooked perfectly in every way. The Hummus flavors were unique and flavorful. We will be back to try more off the menu!

Porkchop hand down was the best I’ve had next to Perry’s. The New York strip was tender and seasoned well, I would go back for these two. Bone marrow mashed potatoes I had such high hopes for but fell flat, completely bland. Nice place, our server was great.

First time dining. We were in the area and decided to try. Great atmosphere, the outside patio, and the fireplace tower inside. The service was excellent, and the food was equally so as well. A must return when we're in the area.

An absolutely incredible experience overall. The ambiance is certainly romantic enough, but this is a VERY busy place, so expect a fair amount of commotion. Despite how busy it was, I felt that we were served quickly and the server was pleasant and attentive. Martinis are made expertly and strong. Spring roll appetizer was bright and refreshing Harvest duck was amazing. It was cooked perfectly and went very well.with the grapes, potatoes and shredded brussel sprouts. It's on the pricey side, but well worth the money considering the quality of the food and service.

Absolutely fantastic! All our dishes were cooked to perfection, with a robust yet balanced flavor. Our server, Santos, answered our many questions with expertise. The bathrooms were clean, they were all individual rooms with their own sink and mirror. We will definitely be returning!

My wife and I went on New Years Eve at 9pm. We were one of the water reservations that had for the night, so while it was busy it was calming down. With that said I'm convinced they took extra time to get food out on purpose, presumably hoping we would buy more drinks. Sat at 8:55, so ahead of schedule. Drinks around 9:15, we then order appetizers, which came around 9:40. By appetizers I mean the bruschetta, so more prep then cooking. While we waited for appetizers we ordered our dinners. Those arrived at 10:30. Almost an hour after our appetizers. Did I complain? No. The waitress seemed concerned it wasn't out sooner and with it being NYE I wasn't trying to cause chaos, no one wants to end their year that way. The food was very good. But honestly for a $55 steak it really should have been presented better than it was. This is presentation I can get at Dennys. Honestly theirs would be better because the potato would look better. Likely not going back any time soon.
