Turn — Restaurant in St. Louis

have no idea how I wandered into such a different restaurant from everyone else, but there was nothing redeemable about my entire visit to Turn. The decor was trying to be upscale, and it succeeded, but it seemed like a work in progress. Semi-industrial with a mix of retro rock thrown in for good measure. Unfortunately, it lacked the soul that it so desperately craved. But aesthetics are only a small part of the experience

The food. Where do I start. Small menu, but everything sounded good on paper. Unfortunately, the result was just bad in execution and seasoning. I got two eggs, three strips of bacon, and a tiny biscuit for almost $13. My girlfriend got something with egg, chorizo, and avocado. SOMEHOW the chorizo was bland. How the hell does that even happen? The entire point of chorizo is for it to be a somewhat spicy and heavily seasoned sausage used in Mexican cooking. All she had was something the consistency of a sausage patty with the taste of cardboard. And the topping was a quarter of a very thin sliced avocado, which barely gave any satisfaction after the chorizo fail.

And the mimosa.....god the mimosa. In what universe is a small champagne flute filled mostly with OJ justify an eight dollar drink? Was it the three blue berries in the top that set it all off and made it palatable? They did spin in the carbonation....that was somewhat neat. Not so much that it was gone in two sips.

The service was just not there. The server came to the table, they brought food and water and just looked completely uninterested in the entire experience. I get that work can be a drag sometimes, but you're not supposed to let everyone in the restaurant know that. On top of that, he just looked completely stoned. The only time he perked up was when the cops were having a little party across the street that kept getting interrupted by SLU security.

I cannot recommend this place for any reason. I am not against paying money for a good meal, but this was just a lot of money for a sub par meal that was skimpy. The first question when we walked out was where we were gonna eat dinner because neither of us felt full.

I'm either overly critical, or I've been blessed with excellent breakfasts all over STL, but this was just so sad that I don't think that I can get the taste of mediocre food and over priced alcohol out of my head anytime soon. It's striving to be something transcendent, but they are trying to run before they can even stand. It's not quite a hipster, not quite trendy, and just an all...

Loved everything about Turn! This was our first time visiting. We went for brunch on a Saturday and the atmosphere and place was pleasant, roomy and beautiful with big picture windows. Our waitress, I can’t remember her name but she was very nice and helpful. Our drinks, I had a latte my fiancé had a blood orange mimosa. I usually won’t drink mimosas, but it was so delicious. It was sweeter, just how I like.😋We notice that they had a mushroom soup on this day. Our waitress brought us out a sample and it was absolutely delicious!🤤🤤 Let me tell you that my fiancé and I have been looking for a good mushroom bisque since another restaurant that we frequent stop serving it. We loved the other restaurants, but this one was the best one we’ve had!!! Delicious, creamy and tasty! The owner/cook came out and talked with his customers, giving them/us each special attention. He even sold us a big thing of the mushroom brie! We were so excited about that and that he catered to our needs. I can’t say enough about how important it made us feel for him to do that. Great customer service! Now on to the food. The food here is very tasty and savory. I don’t have pictures of the mushroom brie because we got some to go and ate the sample too fast. But we had the Leo,(a salmon egg’s benedict), eggs benedict, the biscuit flight and the best sausage biscuits and gravy ever! I didn’t favor my eggs benedict because of the creamy blue cheese sauce that was on it, but my fiancé loved it. I got the biscuits and gravy instead and it did not fail. Hot, fresh, savory and very tasty! Can’t wait til we return because there were other things on the menu that we wanted to try. The whole experience was great! They certainly aim to please! We will definitely be returning.

I know this is a restaurant and the food would be the most important, but treating your customers well is something that will have people always wanting to return and they were A1! Parking downtown can be a hassle but we had no problem because there was a public parking lot across the street that was free on the weekends. This place definitely gets our 5...

First of all, the atmosphere and service were both incredibly pleasant and refreshing, something I've found to be lacking in many establishments nowadays. The music was great, the decor was chic, and the servers predicted needs and were overall awesome, especially Naaja! Naaja was behind the bar, and, despite being busy with Sunday brunch orders, always was attentive to my needs and put in a huge effort, even though I was dining alone. This is what separates a "great" dining experience from an "amazing" one.

The food, though, is what really blew me away on top of it all. I was told by Naaja that this place is known for its homemade biscuits, and I got the biscuit sandwich with homemade turkey sausage, which even came with a whole side! The pancake I got on the side was homemade with fresh lemon and berries and was next-level. The biscuit sandwich was incredible, with a fresh, buttery, and perfectly crumbly biscuit, jam, cheese, egg (perfectly cooked), and their sausage which was clearly fresh as well (and had a bit of a spicy kick, which I love). The flavors married perfectly, and the sweetness of the meal was lovely to have alongside their house brewed coffee, which was rich, strong, and tasty. The price of the food, given the quality and portion-size, was VERY reasonable, and actually quite generous, in my opinion. Literally everything about this place was perfect to me: service, atmosphere, decor, price, and quality of food.

I'm not from around St. Louis, but I know that if I ever come back to this town I'll stop by here again for sure, and I would 100% recommend anyone to...
