Turner's

This place is awesome!! It's small only 12 tables. If you're on a company dime and want to impress someone take them here. Music starts around 9:30pm. The piano and singer are amazing. Perfect date night place. Food and drinks were awesome. Expect around $150/person with food and drinks. Worth every penny. Staff is awesome.

Fine Dinning with a Festive Holiday cheer! There was good moments.It was my first time here for our group of 3. I could barely find the place? Not well lit at all. I drove past it at first glance, thinking I would see some signage, nope? I had to ask the valet where it was. Apparently, the blue awning has a gold T on it (the signage for the restaurant), but this was covered by a giant wreath, so I could not see it. It's located literally right next to Annie's Cafe & Bar, the very same hospitality group. Annie's was good when I went, so I looked forward to the same experience.Drinks - I started with the Pimms Cup. It was refreshing as described and light. I should have gone with the Gin Fizz, I think. The server informed us they were running a special for Dom Perigion 2013, so our table of 3 split the bottle for a pretty penny. Food - I enjoyed my artichoke soup to start. It comes with oysters in a buttery poached sauce. It makes the soup rich and hearty and feels like a true meal rather than an appetizer. This is a solid tasty dish. For my main course, I ordered the wood fire octopus, which had good elements, but I didn't enjoy the way it was cooked, not that perfect texture between firm and soft, it also did not come hot. Maybe I should have gone with the quail? If I come back, I will try again. The bread & butter completed my meal. Ambiance - the place is actually not large. It's all decorated for Christmas, which is why we went. When you walk in the English style door, you're right at the pretty glass bar area with high top tables. There is no host stand near the front, so you just sort of walk in, and the staff stops you to ask if you have a resy, and then you are seated. I liked that they have a beautiful tree in the dining area and a live pianist with some nice music to set the tone. Eventually, the 2nd pianist was joined by a lounge singer for Christmas songs. The only downfall of our night was a loud group next to us that was quite distracting to our meal. Service - our Server Juan and the other staff did their best to keep up. It was a busy night. I noticed that the servers were all kept busy because they had to do final elements for the presentation of the food while at the table or near the table. Such as slicing the meat or debone the fish, or light something on fire for smoke etc. So it's not as if they just drop your plate and leave. It is a fine dining feel for sure, but it makes the service a bit slower then it needed to be. Juan disappeared for a while after the meal was over, and it took too long to get the bill. Parking - out in front is valet, but they have a free parking lot they share with Annie's behind the place.

I only gave them 5 stars because you cannot give them 10. I'm not exactly surprised considering it's owned by Berg Hospitality and Ben Berg is the man when it comes to fine dining.My Experience On A Scale Of 1-10The food? 7The service? 10The aesthetics? 10The Fun? 10The Entertainment? 10The Excitement? 10The food was not the best I've ever had but nowhere near the worst. I ordered the Wagyu Skirt Steak w/ Potato Cake and my guest ordered the Bronzino. The staff comes out to fillet the fish in front of you and did an exceptional job. The fish however tasted like metal/mercury but everything else was great.Our servers name was Amanda and she was very knowledgeable of the menu and made great suggestions. Other staff members were very kind & courteous as well. I was serenaded by live musicians playing both the piano and saxophone after they discovered it was my birthday. When we were almost done eating I requested to see the hidden speakeasy. Special staff came from upstairs to escort my guest and I up the elevator through The Annie Bar & Cafe's kitchen through a hidden door that opened inside of the kitchen wall . This was extremely impressive today the least.The element of surprise, mystique, luxury, power, prestige and secrecy had my emotions everywhere. This was an incredible night. I would be surprised if I visit another restaurant in Houston that can top this experience.Nothing said on a review can give you the feeling that myself and others had at Turner's. You better make a reservation come catch the vibes.

One of Houston's smallest fine dining establishments, that will deliver giant amounts of fun! Turner's is atop a long list of absolute must try establishments. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with the charm and elegance, and excellent food and service delivered with a world class eloquence. Great food. Fantastic live music that gets better as the night goes by. Incredible bar service and cocktailmenus. And you must try the desserts! Our favorite item on the menu is the Wedge Salad that you can add table side cut bacon that is to die for. Make a reservation a week or two in advance or you won't get a spot.

I took my husband to celebrate our dateaversary - yes, we're THAT lame. This place is special - dimly lit, only a few tables, excellent drinks, delicious food, & impeccable service.I'd reached out to the maitre d' earlier, wanting to make it special and see about getting in to their new speakeasy (Emilia's Havana) afterwards - see that review too - and he DELIVERED. He offered to rearrange/turn our table so we could sit next to each other (again, yes, lame), the restaurant had a congratulations card waiting for us, and everyone that touched our table wished us a Happy Anniversary. They've got a complimentary bread service - not our favorite in town, but solidly above average (warm, crusty, soft assorted breads with a tasty compound butter). My husband loves a good gin martini (tanquery 10, very up, blue cheese olives), and theirs was 'oh my God so good!' (his words). We shared the Caesar salad (both disappointed, felt it was too tangy) but we LOVED our entrees. I got the Maine Lobster Gnocchi - a TON of perfectly cooked lobster and perfectly cooked gnocchi, all in a delicious sauce that somehow wasn't too creamy or too rich. My husband had the Wagyu Filet Rossini, which he declared 'top 3 steak' he's ever had. They recommended a slice of their coconut cake to celebrate, which we both thought was a bit too sweet but still good. Oh, another special note? When ordering the coconut cake (their speciality), I mentioned I always love chocolate desserts, they treated us to a to-go box of their chocolate cake along with our leftovers! Delicious and again, just fantastic service. For a full experience (notably, if money isn't an issue), HIGHLY recommend coordinating with the team at Turner's to enjoy a post-dinner drink or two at Emilia's Havana. It's a speakeasy, nice cocktails/vibe/etc, BUT, the special part is getting from Turner's to Emilia's. I'll leave it at that ;-)

My husband and I went here for dinner for my birthday. It was a beautiful experience. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because we had a reservation and had to wait 45 minutes for our table at the bar. Besides that, food, service, and ambiance was incredible.

Great flavor.Great presentation.I'm only giving them a 2 because anyone who charges $68 for a hanger steak deserves a 2.I'm not sure if one of the cheapest cuts of meat should sell for more than $20 in any restaurant.So buyer beware. Feel like being a big shot without the worry of being $300 thinner at the end of the meal then ok this is your place I guess.

First time to Turner's LOVED it. My better half and I sat at the bar... the service was great... great conversations as well. Small and intimate. Can't wait to go back. The food was excellent... love the table side service...

We came here for date night. My companion booked the reservation but once I saw the place and looked up the menu I was excited. For apps we ordered the fried quail and what a way to start. Our server split it for us and it was so savory with the right amount of sweetness with the maple topping. We ordered the 22 oz steak and the filet with foie gras with fried (really just a good roast) Brussel sprouts and pappas fries. The brussels were perfectly cooked and seasoned. For dessert we planned to split the chocolate cake but at the last minute I opted for the coconut cake and it did not disappoint. In fact, I had to share because it outshined the chocolate cake (which was good in its own right). My date enjoyed the cocktails and while they were able and offered to do mocktails I declined but it was good to know it was an option. This is a great place for a date night. The decor is eclectic and I loved the green motif-it is quite dark lighting in the evening. There was a piano player which provided a nice ambiance. Also the service was top-notch. Everyone was on top of everything and made it a hassle free experience.

Food =7-8Service =9Ambiance = 10Fantastic little gem of a date spot with second to none ambiance in Houston. Food was good, service even better. Will definitely be back.
