I think this restaurant closed down but I loved it. The food was excellent. You couldn't go wrong with anything you selected. My favorite was the Lobster sashimi and the orange roughy meditteranean style. The servers were always friendly and sometime the owner was there for a chat.

• Pros: Food, Service
• Cons: Parking in the parking structure

you get what you pay for

my bf and i had reservations last valentine's day at turner's but wasnt able to go because the ballet show we were watching turned out longer than expected. they didnt charge us the cancellation fee which is so nice of them. since its like an unfinished business we had to do.. we ended up getting a reservation for a later date and it was one of the most amazing dining experiences we've had. I was thinking it was just right that we didnt end up going there last valentine's because it would have been packed. we went there last night knowing what to expect from the reviews i found online. I ordered the venison steak which was cooked perfectly! the server was very knowledgeable of the menu and when i asked my steak cooked well done.. he recommended that i ask it cooked medium rare and i was glad i listened to him. the meat melts in your mouth. if you had dentures and removed them you could still eat it. the pinot noir glaze complemented the meat really well and the garlic mashed potatoes was soft and flavorful. my bf had lambchops which i tried.. it was good too but not as good as my venison. the venison tasted like buttered fillet mignon done right! we had fresh oysters and calamari tempura for appetizers. The seafood was fresh i can tell. none of those calamari meat that you had to fight and gnaw through just to swallow it. the tempura batter of the calamari wasn't starchy and overwhelming. the oysters are perfect.. the way i expect fresh oysters to be. my pinot noir paired really well with my meat. the chocolate souffle was to die for. add to that the very attentive staff and great service. it wouldn't have been a perfect dining experience if there were minor inconveniences.. there was none when we went there. once in a while, it is nice to treat your corporate slave gut with a 100 dollar meal. you owe it to yourself. treat yourself like royalty and you wouldnt mind at all how much you're paying for it. dont forget to check OCPAC for shows when you go to turners.

• Pros: service, food, ambience
• Cons: price? (if you're not willing to pay a lot on a good dining experience)
