this is so far my no.1 on htx fancy date night restaurant list we were immediately greeted by seatings with a balcony view featuring live singer (super romantic vibes) we started with bluefin akami served with soy sauce and golden spoon on the side. 10/10 must-order because of generous portion and pretty presentation! we also had: wagyu slider (8/10) served with foie gras, demi-glace, small portion but suprisingly very filling crispy potato 'mochi' (8/10) was another dish we had, served with cream cheese sauce on the side for main course, we picked steaks from the grill: usda prime wet aged 12oz Bone-In Filet. Again, very very generous portion served with mashed potato on the side. There was very a nice smoke flavor to the steaks, but the restaurant could have minimized their burnt parts (my personal preference) their complimentary dessert was this peanut shaped pastry that tasted very much like a kitkat! [[HIGHLIGHT]]restroom was 10/10, they even had mints and bobby pins in the ladies for your emergency :))[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]overall, perfect pick for date nights and fancy business dinner meetings.

Turner's - Santangelo Balli Gonzales - New American Near Me - Houston, Texas

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. read more

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. read more

Enjoyed all aspects of Turner's for our anniversary! Wish we would have checked it out sooner but thrilled to know how great it is for the future! Big fans!! read more

Our dinner at Turner's was one of the best overall meals I've had in Houston, and that's saying a lot. I've wanted to eat at Turner's since they opened back in 2020, but the pandemic threw a wrench in things, and once we were back to making reservations there was a slew of new restaurants to grab my attention. Luckily, our 10 year anniversary came up and I remembered that intimate fine dining option everyone else had raved about and thankfully secured a table for two at Turner's. Our reservation was set for 8:30pm, and we arrived pretty much on time, but were told our table wasn't quite ready. They said we were welcome to grab a drink at the bar which is pretty standard procedure, but I was so impressed when the hostess then motioned us over to the two reserved seats at the bar. (It's those little gestures that make such a huge difference in service.) Once our table was ready, they placed our cocktails on a silver platter, so we didn't have to worry about spilling, and walked us to our table. (again it's the little things) Seating is VERY limited at Turner's. There's maybe 12 tables inside, and your best bet will always be a meal for 2, maybe 4 if you're feeling adventurous. Surprisingly there was a larger group in the corner celebrating a birthday, but that seemed like a grand exception. The interior reminds me of old social clubs from a bygone era. Buttoned leather banquette seats, low lit two top tables, gilt framed art and photographs stacked to the ceiling, a piano player, black tie waitstaff gliding between the tables, and everyone dressed in their Sunday best. (there is a dress code, check the website) There was a handwritten note waiting for us at our table, wishing us well for our anniversary. When I say this is one of the best meals I've had in Houston, the front of house service had a lot to do with it. This city has always struggled with fine dining service, even at some of my favorite old staunch establishments, but almost every moment of our meal at Turner's was exceptional. The menu is very classic fine dining, think lobster thermidor, caviar, steak tartare, foie gras, wedge salad, the usual selection between steak, pasta, and seafood entrees, etc. Our server asked at the beginning that we order all at once, then checked if we were on a time crunch or wanted to slowly enjoy the evening, because he wanted to make sure to pace our meal accordingly. (More high marks to service) We started with a half dozen PEI raw oysters and the cocoa crusted foie gras torchon paired with a glass of white wine. We then moved on to salads, my wife had the burrata and I opted for the charred Caesar. Our original white wines were running low by the end of our salads, and our waiter popped up out of nowhere with gratis top offs, just to make sure we had a few more sips to go with our last bites. (service again amazing) After the salads, we decided to split the 22oz. ribeye along with wild mushrooms and (lightly) fried brussels sprouts as sides. We also wanted to change gears to a bold red wine to go along with our steak, but my wife couldn't quite decide between three options. Instead of talking us through the choices, our server just brought out all 3 bottles to taste. (Again this Service!) The ribeye was perfectly cooked and the sides were delicious. Finally, at the end of all that fantastic food we could barely move let alone think of something sweet, so we instead went with the cheese cart which was a selection of 4 cheeses. They snuck in a tiny little "Happy Anniversary" sign in the center of the plate and then toasted us with champagne to boot. Incredible meal from start to finish. read more

The appetizers were tasty but the main course was sublime.

I look forward to returning to Turners as soon as the opportunity presents itself. read more

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 1-10 The food? 7 The service? 10 The aesthetics? 10 The Fun? 10 The Entertainment? 10 The Excitement? 10 The 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. read more

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 cocktail menus. And you must try the desserts!

Turner's - At the Bar at Turner's on Post Oak - New American Near Me - Houston, Texas

Really fun, intimate setting with a very speak-easy, F. Scott Fitzgerald-vibe. At first you may not notice the entrance to the left of The Annie Cafe and Bar. You walk through an awning-covered walkway marked only with a large "T" to get to the front door. Once at the end of the tunnel, you are met with a large, solid green door with a fist for a knocker and a placard with the restaurant's name on the wall. As the door opens, you find yourself transported back in time to an ornate cocktail bar with candlelit menus and studded leather bar stools. Upon further inspection, you'll notice some more eccentric touches, such as the performing monkey chandelier and fabric-quilted taxidermy pieces in the wall. After having a drink at the bar, you will make your way to your reserved table (reservations required! The space is limited and there is not much room for walk ins). The restaurant is narrow, lined with interesting artwork and alive with music flowing from the piano and vocalist seated in the middle of the room. Our table was very close with the pianist; pretty sure he could have swiveled and joined us for our meal. In contrast to some of the less positive reviews that I read, all of our servers were excellent. The hostess was very gracious and welcoming, encouraging us to take our time and wait for the rest of our party at the bar. Our waiter, Arturo, was very fun and full of suggestions for us. On the way out of the restaurant we were trying to snap a quick group picture, and someone even helped us to try to set up the best lighting for the shot. They have a pretty thorough cocktail list and a healthy wine list that did not disappoint. We really enjoyed the Margarita and Our Gin Fizz drinks, but they had a lot of fun options to choose from. For my starter I had the grilled octopus, which interestingly came with barbecue sauce and a potato/short rib dish. All very tasty. I had the Ambassador's Meatloaf topped with a sunny side up egg and oxtail gravy, served with a side of potatoes mousseline. Really happy with my choice! At our table we also had the Dover Sole, the wedge salad (served with delicious table-side, thick cut bacon), and the Heritage Chicken and Dumplings. All were very good, but I think we all agreed that the Chicken and Dumplings dish was the favorite! We all had a great evening and would love to go back again. Thanks for a wonderful evening, Turner's! read more

I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked this restaurant! It's a really small restaurant and the noise level is pretty loud especially with the piano player so don't expect a quiet dinner if you want to dine here. Now to the important part the drinks! The ambassador, blood and sand and the margarita were our favorites. I did not like the old fashioned as there was too much bitters in this drink. Now onto the food! For appetizers we had the house cured salmon and the burrata. I recommend the salmon dish. That was our favorite out of the 2. For entrees we got the salmon pot roast, chicken and dumplings and mushroom pasta. The mushroom pasta was sooooo good! The flavor was superb. The salmon pot roast was another great dish as well. The salmon was perfectly cooked and the broth it came in was delightful. The chicken and dumplings was a bit dry so that was my least favorite entree. I recommend calling them for reservations as there was no openings on open table but I was able to get one by calling. read more

Professional and highly proficient staff. Chic, smart decor. Delectable cuisine. Unfortunately we were unable to enjoy all 16oz of our shared boneless Ribeye. After returning a portion to the kitchen so that it could be cooked to our desired level of doneness, it came back over cooked, burnt and a few ounces shy. Brought it to the attention of the wait staff to no avail. Had we gone to dinner at Outback Steakhouse, ordered a Sirloin and onion blossom, I'd accept it. For a $500 meal at Houston's premier steakhouse, I expect better. read more

I liked it but I really wanted to love it. Like a few other reviewers have said, some things were a little off that could have made the experience special and appropriate for the price point. We thought we'd be wowed. The good Atmosphere was impressive with a speakeasy type entry and small, beautiful clubby dining room. Kind of the Fuad's or old Aldo's concept mixed with a fancy steakhouse. We had an elegant table by the piano. I don't know if they were limiting capacity as every table was full but we had space on each side. Loved the room. The ok I tried the Turners martini with the butter vodka that was too buttery for me but still good. I switched to regular vodka after. Bread was delicious and beautifully served. The buratta salad was average. Not bad but not great or worth the price. Also had the mushroom pasta and thought it was good. I didn't have a wow factor to my food but my friend enjoyed the steak. We had some wine with the meal and the chocolate dessert - very tasty! The downfall We felt rushed the whole time but were asked/told to move to the bar during dessert with a half full bottle of wine left. Bar was tiny and service was weak - pouring our own wine while servers chatted. They gave us a glass of Champagne for the inconvenience. Not sure what it was but seemed like a bad prosecco. The bar move left a disappointing note on the evening and service overall was not impressive, especially when our bill was $600 for 3 people who wanted to relax and enjoy. read more

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 ;-) read more

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. read more

Cool concept, but feel short on execution. We wanted to love this quaint restaurant, nestled behind the stores on Post Oak. We dined here on Christmas Eve, which was accompanied by a pianist and vocalist. That was the highlight of the evening. Our waiter was nice, however our octopus, was difficult to cut, even with the knives supplied for us. The waiter took notice of this, and removed the item from our tab. The fried quail was fine, nothing too extraordinary. My wife looked forward to having the lobster thermador, which was small and underwhelming. We hope they read this review and make the necessary changes to improve their dining experience. read more

Turner's - Burrata salad - New American Near Me - Houston, Texas

Loved this place. Awesome experience. The ambiance was great, especially with the live piano. Food was delicious. I ordered the Wagyu Filet Rossini, since it's their most popular dish. However, I asked for the foie gras on the side because I wasn't sure I would like it and didn't want to ruin my dish. The foie gras had a mild buttery flavor. Service was great. Wedge salad was my favorite. My fiancé had the field quail (not pictured); he said it was just okay and a little dry. He was not a fan of the maple syrup sauce. The chocolate cake was very rich. As per price, For the two of us, we paid about $360 (before tip). read more

A wonderful addition to the Galleria! Went for a romantic outing without kiddos and we thoroughly enjoyed our time. The place is small, intimate and classy. Dark, moody vibe with live piano playing and singing in the background. We got the wood grilled octopus appetizer--extremely juicy and tender. Also split a J.B. Waldorf salad. It was good, but not my favorite salad ever. It had too much dressing for my personal taste (I guess I should've asked for it on the side). Hubby got wagyu filet mignon and I got the lobster thermidor with a side of mushrooms. The filet was excellent and came with an amazing sauce! There was plenty of lobster, I shared some with hubs and I still barely could finish it. We got the vanilla butter cake with strawberries to-go. It was ok--it was cold. We expected it to be hot... but if this is how it's served normally, I'd probably try something else. This is a great place for small business meet-ups and dates. I love the cozy, classic style it exudes and will definitely be back! read more

Came here on Saturday for a date night. The food and service were exceptional. The atmosphere was very classy and romantic. The restaurant was very small but very intimate. They had a guy playing piano which made the atmosphere even better. Highly recommend their margarita! Absolutely delicious and easy to drink. Wood Grilled Octopus was phenomenal. Very tender and quite a large portion. The escargot had a very delicious parsley butter sauce with a tender oxtail. Wagyu filet mignon was perfectly cooked and the beurre rouge sauce was very unique and went with the potatoes quite nicely. Their cheesecake wasn't too heavy and was a nice way to end the meal. The staff took Covid precautions seriously. All staff was wearing masks and gloves. After each table left, all seats were disinfected and wiped down. Sanitizer was available outside the restaurant, inside and in the bathrooms. Bathrooms were clean and well maintained. I will be back for sure! read more

We got greeted by the manager and hostess, as well as our soon to be waiter. Our hostess seated us just a few moments of waiting. We got seated right next to the piano bar.

Came here on a weekday for an early dinner. The ambiance is super old-school country-club, complete with props like riding gear and helmets on the walls. It's difficult to get a res, as you need to email them back and forth to set up a time rather than see all the available times. We started with WOOD GRILLED OCTOPUS (short rib potato salad & house BBQ sauce), which was a delicious and well cooked dish, but on the small side. The potato salad was very rich and flavorful. For main, we had ROYAL TRUMPET TETRAZZINI (rigatoni, hen-of-the-woods & sottocenere al tartufo), which was creamy, al dente perfection. I loved the meatiness of the mushrooms and wish it had more mushrooms! I enjoyed their old fashioned, which was solid. Service was attentive but not overbearing. Live music elevates the experience significantly! Overall on the steep side, but worth it for the experience! read more

Ambiance, food, and service respectively are 5 stars and this establishment is so good, it should be awarded a 6th.

We're moving from Chicago to Houston (where I lived until 2010), and I wanted to wow my fiance with a place that has a similar feel to his beloved RL Restaurant on Michigan Avenue. Well, Houston doesn't have a Mag Mile, but Post Oak is as tony as there is in the city, and Turner's seemed to have that similar dark-room-framed-paintings atmosphere. Initially on walking in, he was impressed I'd found a place with a similar look & feel, then the nonsense started. K, they are back to their old-school jacket-required thing, fine. He hadn't packed a jacket in his carry-on for 95-degree weather in Houston, but OK. The staff was courteous and friendly enough, so that was sorted out. We had reservations, and thank goodness, because there was not a table empty. We were seated at a charming two-top....under the craziest Arctic blast of A/C I have ever felt in any building anywhere in the world. Guys, if I walked my dog outside in Chicago in February, it would've been less cold & windy. I cannot overstate this. The heat of the day had lifted and it was quite a pleasant night, so much so that we did a 45-minute walk after dinner before bed. So there was no need for that mess. You think I exaggerate? The A/C a good 15-20 feet up BLEW OUT OUR CANDLE. The server couldn't even relight it due to the blast. We don't get cold easily; we once walked down to the Chicago River on a 5-degree day just to see the river frozen, and my eyelashes froze on the way, but I was fine because I was . . . dressed for the weather. The bread was excellent, as was my mocktail. Server was friendly, attentive and courteous, but there wasn't much to be done about the A/C. I am just glad I wasn't one of the many women in there wearing a strapless dress. I'd brought a blazer, and I was still so chilled down to the bone that I suggested we skip dessert. We never skip dessert. But first, the entrees. This man can devour an Ol' 96-er sized steak in 12 minutes flat, and I knew something was up when he wasn't murdering that beef. My heritage chicken & dumplings and the potatoes au gratin we shared were pretty cold, but I tell you what--I'm sure they came out of the kitchen hot. It was THAT frigid in there. BTW, my dumplings weren't cooked through. I can cook a fair amount, and I could've flavored and cooked a better dish than that. Chicken was excellent, but it was an inconsistent dish. Weird. And look, I LOVE the soft tinkle of a background piano, but when you have a relatively small space, a piano player banging it out like it's a Dueling Pianos bar and a singer out-yodeling Beyonce (that happened), it makes for awkward "HEY LET'S SHOUT SO WE CAN HAVE A CONVERSATION!" dining. They were both great, but their volume needed to be about 2/3 lower. I'm not usually a complainer; I have far more raves than rants, but this was a big miss of a night. The noise was in fact so great, that after we declined dessert and I mentioned that we'd just like the check as I wasn't feeling very well (i.e., I'm about to get the car from the valet and turn on the heated seats--literally did that later), the server brought us a dessert anyway. We had not only not ordered one, we were itching to get out ASAP and thaw out. So IDK how he heard that we DID want a dessert and which one it supposedly was. I leaned over the table and said "THEY WON'T LET US LEAVE." This place has potential if they can sort out their atmospheric issues and get some fully cooked hot dishes on tables that will actually stay hot. Now on with my quest to show him that Houston restaurants are good. read more
