Turtleback Taphouse

If you want to sit on the deck, you have to order from their overpriced menu. You can't order from the regular bar menu. They don't want their rich customers sitting with poor people. Pathetic.

Our first night in the area, my girlfriend and I tried Turtleback Taphouse, anticipating a gastropub feel, with an extensive beer menu (it's in the name, right?). What we discovered was a restaurant wanting to offer an upper-scale dining experience. Perhaps we should've chosen to eat in the bar area, because we were the only ones in the dining room. Our server was very cordial and attentive, but a little stiff, which added to the weirdness of our experience.I got a beer, while my girlfriend got a hot toddy, which was quite good. However, we were taken aback at the menu choices, as they were pricier than expected (having a typical taphouse in mind). I got a burger, which was good, if unexceptional, while my girlfriend got their vegetarian option, timbale, which was also good but portioned quite small.We ate at night, so we didn't get to enjoy any of the views. And from the website, it seems that the place is undergoing a shift in 'dining experience.' So maybe we just caught them in the growing pains.

Great views of the golf course and area mountains. We had the fish & chips and it was really good. Service was perfect and the beer was nice and cold. Couldn't ask for anything better. GPS was sort of confused on how to get there, so I followed the signs on the road thru the golf course. I'll certainly go back when I'm in the area.

Great dinners and fabulous desserts! Ribeye with peppercorn sauce so good! My husband had the sliders and a salad with chicken that as great. The chocolate mousse cake was absolutely to amazing. Randy was an attentive and pleasant server, too!

Wonderful & exceptional service, views, simple but versatile menu & perfect for a little stop in. Will be returning.Loved seat at the Bar. (Krystal & Raquel)Grand Patio.

Freakin gross! Not worth your rough drive! Everything was gross. I won't even explain it. Gross gross and did I mention gross? My plate looked like a dog had vommitted! They took my plate off my ticket. Offered me free dessert and even gave me a $50 gift card. I took none of the above. What good did all that make up effort for a horrible meal do? Should've got it right the first, second and third time. I gave up ok on the fourth. Go somewhere else! I won't even mention Ana's service sucked. Lost the whole time and took forever with our drinks. They were laughing up a storm in the kitchen

Ambience is very nice, food was overly seasoned though, very very salty. I would suggest sitting outside if it's not too hot

We loved this place and it allows dogs, but because our dog barked at the golf carts twice, we got kicked out. The hostess was rude about it and the only other table occupied didn't seem upset, but when we apologized to them they got even more rude. The were New Yorkers, go figure. The waitress was a sweetheart. Don't allow dogs if you're going to cry about a few barks.

Sierra del Rio Golf Course now has a fantastic chef and great menu to along with a great golf experience. Had the nachos with a Taphouse burger on the patio and enjoyed the view of Turtleback Mountain. Outstanding!

You notice when this guy gets a good review (few) he always tells the person how much he appreciates the comment. But when the review is bad he has NOTHING too say
