Turf Tavern

The Turf Tavern simply is one of the best restaurants in the area; bar none. Staff is extremely friendly and accommodating, atmosphere is very warm and welcoming, and the food is very tasty! Our waitress was phenomenal, and since we were here for my father’s birthday, gave him a slice of hummingbird cake and he loved it! Definitely check out this one when in the area. Highly recommended. Thank you!

Absolutely delicious food situated in a home-y, cozy, environment. Service is friendly and personable; the menu is small, but powerful. The prime rib poutine was AMAZING, an absolute stand out dish. Generally speaking, their fried items were delicious. Get here early if you want the prime rib, it sells fast! That said, I got the filet, and it was spectacular, some of the best steak of that cut Ive ever had. The only thing I could complain about (and this is really picky) is the side of potatoes one of us got with our NY strip. They were large (quartered maybe?) and relatively light on the seasoning. Its a shame, because the truffle fries were SO good. Definitely make the side upgrade to avoid disappointment, in my opinion. Overall, 9/10 experience i will happily return for.

I can’t say enough good things about Turf Tavern. They were incredibly accommodating with our last-minute post-funeral gathering and made the entire experience seamless. The food quality was absolutely amazing. The staff went above and beyond to be helpful, friendly, and attentive, making sure our group was well taken care of from start to finish, they even brought out some toys when they noticed my nephew getting antsy. Turf Tavern truly exceeded our expectations, and we can’t wait to return. Highly recommend!

Turf tavern catered our wedding at Altamont Manor and did an absolutely phenomenal job. The planning was straightforward and enjoyable. The staff was perfect and professional. The food was so delicious and generously portioned. I highly recommend the short ribs and chicken parm entrees. The cocktail hour appetizers were also perfect- the bruschetta, bacon wrapped scallops, and teriyaki steak bites were delectable. So many of our guests told us how much they enjoyed the food. The bar service was also great and efficient. They made sure our glasses were never empty throughout the night which was much appreciated. Maria literally saved the day by helping to bustle my dress when I realized we’d gotten through all of cocktail hour forgetting to do it and were about to have our first dance. She

Our choice for Schenectady Restaurant Week was Turf Tavern in Scotia, we have never been....it was delicious! I ordered off the restaurant week menu, Spinach Artichoke Dip, Prime Rib, Creme Brulee (this also came with a salad). Hubby had a Wedge Salad and the Sweet Cherry Pepper Pulled Pork. Everything was cooked perfectly and had excellent flavor, although I did need a little salt...Service was friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back!
