I have been to Turn house many times and I usually enjoy the experience. Today, my friend and I both ordered the duck hash for brunch. We were told we had the last two. However, the potatoes were not cooked through and were partially hard, which I told the manager when he came by and asked about our experience. He offered us a free dessert for the hassle, because there were no other duck hashes available. When we ordered our desserts we waited a half an hour, and then after asking our waiter to check on them, were told that the dessert that we had selected would not be available until the evening!! I am more than disappointed with the lack of quality of service that I received today.

The Turn House is a wonderful restaurant in Columbia. Beautifully situated on a golf course, it is perfect for patio dining in the spring and fall. The food is outstanding. While the servers try very hard, there just aren’t enough of them to cover the restaurant adequately. That’s the only complaint I have.

My friend and I both had omelettes . He had a seafood omelette and I had the 3 cheese omelette and both were cooked to perfection and delicious. The potatoes served with the omelettes were crispy and seasoned perfectly abd were also delicious. The fruit was fresh and tasty as well. We both totally enjoyed our brunch abd will definitely return.

I’ve been meeting my friend for brunch at The Turn House for a few years now, and it’s always been a lovely experience (especially the cocktails… the food is great also😉 ;) This time, it was my best friend’s birthday and Nadya, our wonderful server, made it special. I highly recommend dining at The Turn House.

Food and service were Excellent, our server Julie was a gem! Nice place to dine tucked away in Columbia. I'm sure during golf season it might be a little crowded but I will still make an effort to dine there. Will most definitely be back. Do yourself a favor and try it. Will also go and try the brunch.

Ate after Valentine’s Day’s. They had run out of filet mignon and still didn’t have it two days later. Had to pay for bread before the food arrived. Drinks were good. Will not return.
