This was a great meal, but for how expensive it was I just wasn’t blown away. Great environment and ascetic. The service was also really good and our server was very friendly. Overall I would recommend eating here.

Parking was plenty. Staff was friendly and not rushed even if they were busy. The option to eat outside was nice and the place has a comforting feel to it. A large fireplace surrounded by seating indoors adds a relaxing western vibe to the place.

Great atmosphere, we sat outside across from the fire place. The service was excellent and so were the offerings. We just had an assortment of appetizers and they were very good. It's a fun place to be. I think it's a must stop if you are in the area. Check it out I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Very dim dinning lighting. The server was a funny guy but professional at the same time, so actually human to us. The drinks are well made with the proper balance. The duck pot stickers was very juice but not greasy. The main courses were so filling and flavorful. I really liked the meatloaf with it getting the pallet ready for the part of it to eat next.
The creamy butter for the tasty bread is made with the right amount of salt and sweet spices that you could just eat on the butter alone without the bread because it was like Greek yogurt.
The bathroom is confusing to find as everything is horse and stable themed but I have to say that they were very well maintained for the small single room.
The tea and water was very clean tasting to a point of having a natural sweetness if you are mindful with everything you are drinking and eating.
The prices are higher for things that sounds so basic but you get what you paid for as it's pure art that you are taking in so take the time to enjoy it.
This place is very family friendly as I was seeing a children's celebration in the next area, someone with their lonely elderly friend, ladies having a evening out before hitting the town, and people like us trying to enjoy something nice away from the outside world of distractions.

Enjoyed dining alfresco on patio area with friends for dinner. First want to advise not to miss out on one of their signature cocktails, they are one of a kind, entertaining, and always delicious! Food ordered was exceptional (quality ingredients) from appetizer through dinner which are works of tasty culinary art in their own right. Lastly, the service was impeccable all around which made for a perfect evening. Highly recommend!!

I've visited this restaurant a few times; my favorite being sitting outside in the summer with some summertime drinks and great company. This past visit was a great time but I took a star away for the overcooked ribeye. It looked like it was done perfectly, but what I mistook for char-grilled was actually burnt. Not that I am a steak connoisseur, but I do frequent great steak houses like Sullivan's and Ruth's Chris, so I do know the difference between charred and burnt. There was a burnt taste on almost every bite. The brussel sprouts were kind of a let down also. They were good, but I've had much better so I expected better from a classy spot like The Turf Room. They tasted as though they were seasoned with salt and pepper. They could be so much better. They grilled veggies on the other hand were delicious! It wasn't all terrible, it was a great night and we enjoyed some delicious drinks.
We will be back. I will just stay away from the ribeye and brussel sprouts next time.

Amazing ambiance. Tempura mushrooms were absolutely delicious as well as the black angus filet. Very kind wait staff. I absolutely loved sitting by the fireplace.

Had a great experience. Our waiter was great pretty much ordered everything he recommended and it was amazing. The atmosphere was wonderful. Was sat by a large fire place with logs burning. The food was really good and the drinks were just as good. I would absolutely go back again.

Fine dining. High end food cooked and presented superbly. Craft cocktails and top notch as well. I had duck breast entree, which was delicious. I also had a sake martini with a champagne float, also well crafted. We also had duck raviolis which was a very small portion but delicious.
It’s fine dining so you do get what you pay for. Definitely a fancy romantic place. My tab was $150 before the tip and that was 2 appetizers, 4 drinks, and 2 entrees.

The food is good, but rather pricey. What you’re paying for here is atmosphere, such as the warm fireplace, mood lighting, solid wood decorum and the like.
We had a steak dish and a pasta dish. They were tasty. Nevertheless I can mimic the steak at home for 1/3 the price for sure.
