    Service was very good, what we ordered was good, but the previous time what we ordered was much better tasting..the calamaris, the crab salad and clam chowder. We had a lovely day at the races and the seating was perfect. We will be doing this again soon and will use OpenTable for reservations, well done.

    I would tell someone interested in visiting The Turf Club that the views are AMAZING!!! The food was not good. We sent things back and weren't really satisfied with the replacements. The drinks were great but not worth paying for valet and the additional $15 entrance fee. I would definitely recommend visiting the track for $1 days or maybe some other promotional day! When we ventured to the lower levels (where EVERYBODY seemed to be) it was music playing and the people were friendly and plentiful. Our hostess (Cat) at The Turf Club made sure that we had what we needed and when it wasn't to our satisfactory...she tried her best to accommodate. I would say try it.....but eat first or go eat downstairs! lol

    Wonderful service, even on a busy day with a crowded restaurant. Food was excellent; improved over our last visit several years ago. Fun atmosphere!

    I love Thoroughbred Racing, so I would eat hot dogs in the Grandstand. However, the Turf Club has moderately priced food and low price drinks as well. For the volume of covers they do, the food is very good.

    Great accommodations. We came in early, so we got a nice table with a great view of the track. It’s also exciting to see the full view of the live horse racing from the post parade to the finish... We’re also able to meet nice people (horse owners) that were sitting close by our table. It’s a nice place to spend a weekend...just bring a lot of “dough”!

    A swell spot to enjoy one of the greatest sports in the world. The facility itself is lovely and located in a lovely spot. No trip to Bay Area is complete without a visit!

    This was our first time at GGF & we were told to make sure that we got into the Turf Club. We had an incredible time. I'm not sure what Maria's title is, but she was amazing. She made our first experience here extremely memorable!! She was so helpful, friendly and went over & above what we expected. The wait staff & the betting window attendants were also very friendly and willing to answer all of our rookie questions we threw at them. So, we have recommended this to friends, and we will be returning with them in the future. What a great day!! Thank you Cynthia and your amazing crew, our trip to the Triple Crown was kicked off in spectacular fashion. Derby, Preakness & Belmont bound!! K Snyder
