Tried this spot in Columbia, MD today with girlfriends and it was delightful! Our waiter was Liam and he gave great recommendations and was very attentive even with a full dining room. I got the Watermelon Vodka Soda and it had watermelon purée that was so refreshing on this hot day! We started with the charcuterie board that was a little light on the portions but the entrees were large and delicious! I got the Crab Cake Sandwich, two friends got the Fried Chicken Sandwich and one friend got the Steak Salad with a cup of crab and corn chowder. Everyone enjoyed their meals and I highly recommend the crab cake sandwich. It was meaty with little filler and very well seasoned. We finished the meal with House-made Apple Pie. It was ok but I wouldn't get it again. The dining room was really clean and pretty. This restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating so depending on the weather, you should call ahead to see if you can get the spot you want. Would definitely come back here again!

I have to say when it's a vendor dinner, can't give any bad gripes about the place. Appetizers were wings and cheese dip. What a meal and I ordered the crab cakes with string beans and potatoes. It was delicious. Never had I seen crab cakes that delicious and portioned largely. My peer had the steak and that too looks amazing. Love the wine/mix cocktail service and the view of the golf driving range. I had the cheese cake and peer had the bread pudding. Wow dessert KO-ed me for the rest of the night. Or maybe it was unlimited whiskey sours. Restroom is easily accessible and parking is readily available. Will be coming back here for sure. Great place. Oh yea. It took awhile to finish. I think we left the restaurant around 930pm.

Tried out The Turn House for a post dinner drink and wasn't disappointed. Great service and drink menu. Would have loved to check out the fire pit and would definitely come back for a dinner on the patio

I decided to throw a surprise 30th birthday for my boyfriend this last Saturday at the restaurant. I rented a room for 19 people and the price was reasonable. I appreciated the fact that they change their menu regularly per the seasons so it's not always the same dishes. There was a lot to choose from a great helping of food. For appetizers, I whole heartedly recommend the crab dip. We also ordered the fried chicken wings which tasted okay. You then had a choice of house or Caesar salad and for the entrees a filet mignon, hen, salmon or burger. When designing the menu, the packages allowed for 4 possible entrees for the menu so that was nice. Desserts were both delicious, we had the option for cheesecake or blueberry bread pudding which both tasted great. Overall I was really happy with how the event turned out. I would say if anything service needed to be slightly more attentive as we needed several water refills and it felt like there was a delay with this.

Recently visited The Turn House for dinner with my family. It's actually situated right next to a golf course so we sat outside to watch the golfers and take in the views. The outdoor seating had a really nice, quiet ambiance. The service was great. Attentive servers and the food came out fast. We tried a charcuterie board and while the selection was decent for 5 people, I felt like the different charcuterie items looked a bit sparse in comparison to the gigantic board it comes on - the board itself took up nearly the entire table. I think I prefer to have a dish come out looking like it's abundant instead of lacking. also wish it had come with crackers or bread instead of the toasted pita (I think that's what it was). The pita was just a bit hard to chew. The menu isn't extensive, but the food seems fairly priced for the portion that you receive. The food itself could have used more flavor in my opinion. I ordered the chicken Chesapeake and it came with green beans and mashed potatoes. The dish wasn't bad but I tasted mainly butter and cheese - the crab wasn't prominent and the green beans had no salt or pepper or anything. My family members also said their dishes were so-so. Good enough but lacking flavor and not very memorable. Definitely needed some more depth
