Reviews of Turning Tables
"Was seated at 530, didn't get our burgers until 7pm. Everything we ordered was wrong, including the drinks. Had to ask repeatedly for menus, despite having a dinner reservation and a table in the dining room (not at the bar.) The tables next to us had the same issues. We were all headed to the same event at Turner Hall that started at 7, so we were all late. If under staffed, this business should close a dining room so that they can provide service to their customers that doesn't overload staff. They clearly only had 2 servers for the whole place. I would have staffed it with at least 6 plus 2 bartenders and a bar back to support the crowds on a Buck's game night when there is also an event upstairs. The owners need to step up and put boots in the dining room to see how hard their staff is working! They've been set up to fail, which is a shame. Our server was trying her best."
"Do not waste your time or money on this establishment. I am a former employee at Turning Tables. On my first day of work, I was not trained and all of a sudden two groups of 50 people from Northwestern Mutual came in for a catered lunch that my manager forgot about. I was the only person scheduled. None of the food was ready and I was running around an unfamiliar restaurant trying to help as best as I could. Each time I worked, I noticed that the system in which the restaurant and kitchen ran was not normal. The owner is the only cook and the co-owner, his wife, was always dressed very inappropriately for work even though the wait staff was expected to wear collared shirts and slacks. I only served one table in all of my time working there and it took about 45 minutes for these customers to get their food even though they were the only table in the whole restaurant. Once again, there was rarely a manager/owner around to train me."
"Don’t go here. RUN!!! My family drove in from out of state for dinner and a show. They were taking reservations only which we had paid to reserve months in advance. After being seated, that’s all we got to experience…sitting. 25min go by and we see tables around us getting waited on at least 4 times. We asked the waitress if someone could wait on us. She said she “didn’t know who seated us”, left us, and see her run to the back of the kitchen and hide. Great solution. We ask more staff…same thing of hiding in the kitchen. 45min go past and still no wait, we grabbed drinks from the bar and asked to talk to the manager. There’s no MANAGER!!! Then I’m overhearing how they don’t care about reservations and to just let people in. So they have overpriced food that I expect is cold and awful after that kind of kitchen wait, drinks are under poured for the price, and staff are oblivious to problem solving. After 45min of chasing waitresses, we ended up ordering food to be delivered instead from the pizza place next door amd ended up getting to our show VERY late. This place needs Gordon Ramsey to come in and SHUT IT DOWN!"
"Horrible. No management, staff was HORRIBLE. We paid for a reservation weeks in advance. 6pm dinner for a 730pm show. We ended up waiting u til 6:50 before giving up on a waitress ever coming to our table. Twice we got up and found another waitress, twice they said they would go 'find the person who's supposed to serve our table'. Then we watched them not do that. What a horrible feeling. I've honestly never been treated so poorly as a guest somewhere, let alone a place we paid to reserve in advance. Family came from out of town for the night. It was horrible. We ended up ordering pizza locally on grub hub and getting to the show late. Absolutely no excuse."
"Yvonne was our server, and the hostess and she was hustling. This is a really cool place where they are acrually teaching various aspects of running a restaurant i believe specifically to minorities. Food was great- jerk eggrolls, catfish, and my wife had a pulled pork bowl. Food was great, the whole experience was enjoyable!"
