I'll be honest I hadn't even known this place had opened in town (hectic schedule) until my brother and sister-in-law got me a gift certificate for Christmas...and I'm glad they did. The spring menu just came out during my visit. I got the pork chop with kimchi. It was a bone-in pork chop with Japanese bbq sauce cooked to a perfect medium, kimchi (medium not overly spicy), and some microgreens. To drink, I got Blaze's Blonde Ale (Hoptometry) and to pair with the food a sauvion, both of which were great. The food would have also paired well with the pinot noir they had. The sweet flavor of the bbq sauce melded fantastically with the spice of the kimchi. Excuse my photos they don't do the food justice, and plus, I accidentally bumped the plate messing up the plating. I will say that I had the most expensive item on the menu, but I'm so happy that I got it. The atmosphere in the restaurant is cozy with low but not overly dim lighting and solid music that they change via the record player. My server, Jocelyn, was lovely and checked on me regularly. The owner also checked in on how my food was. It wasn't overly busy on my visit, but I emplore you if you love great food with a solid and cozy atmosphere to please check out this establishment.

Went to the turntable for the first time today! It was amazing! I was with my mom and sister and we got three things to share and they were all wonderful! 2 desserts that were just as amazing. No, the portion sizes are not super big (we’ve all gotten too use to ginormous meals anyways) and I hate the feeling of leaving a restaurant feeling heavy and over stuffed. The service was also amazing too. We were warmly welcomed as soon as we stepped foot inside. You could tell they all wanted us to be there. Our server was so kind and very helpful when it came to making decisions. We will definitely be back!!

The quality of these small plate, expertly crafted dishes is nothing short of impressive. The service was friendly and the atmosphere is very laid back. It's the perfect date night. We will be back again and again. Pictured is an ahi tuna dish and the Bison / Elk / Wagyu burger. Both absolutely impressive. Highly recommend this place for impressive, unique dishes.

A business that was very clearly started from a labor of love. Every ingredient is very thoughtfully combined into knock out dishes. It’s not often you come across a place where you can order more than one meal and still have the opportunity to try something else that catches your eye. Chef was so incredibly involved in the menu and guest satisfaction. He visited each table at least twice while I was there to make sure everyone was enjoying what they ordered. He was very open to feedback, understands that what appeals to him might not be for everyone else and is willing to alter his menu based on overall guest opinion. It was refreshing to speak with someone who was clearly passionate about every detail put into each dish. The focus is providing guests with something they will remember and share with friends, not how many appetizers you can sell during happy hour. The dishes may be small, but the passion, flavors and staff friendliness are anything but. Here, you are a person, not just a number on a spreadsheet. Definitely treat yourself to this experience, you will not regret it.

Love the turntable! We got the Smoked Salmon special and the Cheesy Bison Burger, and it was even better than you can imagine. Presentation and service were always outstanding. Chef Rob and Shauna always give 110% and it shows.

I recently dined at Turntable Restaurant, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, the cozy environment enveloped us, making it the perfect spot for a relaxed meal. Our waitress was simply amazing and brought so much fun to our dining experience. Her enthusiasm and knowledge about the menu made us feel right at home. One of the highlights was when the personal chef came to our table. It was a delightful surprise to have such a direct connection with the culinary artistry behind our meal. Now, let's talk about the food—delicious and superb! Every dish was crafted to perfection, bursting with flavors that left us craving more. Overall, Turntable Restaurant exceeded our expectations in every way. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience!
