    Oysters
    Brian T.

    We chose this place to celebrate Valentine's Day this year and it was a slam dunk. I've heard great things about this place (and my credit card also gives a dining credit here), so this was a great excuse to try it. For Valentine's Day, they had a pre-fixe 4 course tasting menu for $215 per person. A bit on the pricey end, but it was worth every penny. Parking can be tough in Autry Park, as several other businesses and apartment complexes share this area. You can valet for $8, pay for metered street parking, or self-park in the garage next door. For the self-park option, they will validate it which makes the parking fee come out to $5 for up to 3 hours. Our servers for the night were Esvin and Jose. Both were stellar and tag-teamed our table to make sure we were well taken care of throughout our stay. Esvin was very knowledgeable about the various items on the tasting menu and gave us solid recommendations. Jose was super friendly and comical with us. 1st course: Oysters and Wagyu & Caviar. The East Coast oysters were delicious and I liked the trout roe they were topped with. The Wagyu & Caviar was one of my favorites - served tartare style, the garlic aioli and quail egg went perfectly with the parmesan crisp. The pani puri shell was an added bonus for extra crunch. 2nd course: Gnocchi Batonnets and Scallops. This is not your typical gnocchi. Rather than small knots of dough, this gnocchi was served as long strings of dough which reminded me of Korean tteokbokki. Not to say it wasn't delicious - I really liked the parmesan cheese sauce these were bathed in. The scallops were nice and buttery; the charcoal bunuelo they came with was slightly bland but Esvin warned us of this when he brought it to the table. 3rd course: American Wagyu Tenderloin and Colorado Lamb Chops. The wagyu tenderloin was so good. Fork-tender and had a nicely sweet demi-glace made from caramelized onions. Now the lamb chops were both of our favorite of the night. The lamb had a nice char to it that added to the garlicky flavor. The meat was also super tender and didn't require much effort to cut. I especially liked the potato terrine on the side, which is a series of potato sheets that were finely crafted to make a "stack," perfect for pulling apart. 4th course: Chocolate Soufflé Tart and Creme Fraiche Cheesecake. The chocolate soufflé tart was to die for - very similar to a chocolate lava cake. While very rich, the Grand Marnier ice cream it came with balanced out the richness of the cake. The creme fraiche cheesecake won for dessert of the night. It is absolutely not your typical cheesecake. They crafted the cream cheese + mandarin custard into the shape of an orange slice. At first, we weren't sure whether we could eat the "orange," but it was all edible! The cheese was so light and while it did not have the typical crust, the white chocolate crust is something I didn't realize I needed in a cheesecake! Before and after the meal, there were extra special touches from the chef. Before, we were served a pre-dinner (non-alcoholic) drink - the intent was to cleanse the palate before you embark on your gastronomic journey. After, we were served what looked like peanuts, but was actually a fully-edible dessert pastry. It's the little things that add to the memory! We started off sharing a bottle of wine. The wine list, while extensive, does not come cheap. We chose a South American Malbec that was recommended by the sommelier and were definitely not disappointed. After dinner, my partner ordered a Ben's Old Fashioned and I ordered an Espresso Martini. The Ben's Old Fashioned is definitely not your typical old fashioned - they light it on fire as they serve it to caramelize the luxardo cherry and orange peel - great for the gram! And the Espresso Martini comes foamed with a photo of your choosing. Esvin took a photo of us at our table and that showed up on my drink! Extra gram-worthy! Big shoutout to GM Richard for his extended hospitality throughout the night. He came by regularly to check on us. On our way out, he showed us their wine cellar which has a semi-private table for 2 for folks who desire an extra-special date night experience. We made a comment that we hadn't yet been to sister restaurant Annabelle Brasserie and without hesitation, he walked us down there and showed us the beautiful interior. We will definitely be trying it out for brunch soon. Also, don't sleep on the bathroom experience! Not only are the bathrooms themselves clean and elegant, but when you step out, you are offered a taste of champagne or Macallan scotch. We "had to go to the bathroom" a second time, but unfortunately the post-pee drink has a limit of one per person. While Turner's Cut is not your everyday dinner (or even date night for that matter), it made this night all the more special. We had a very memorable Valentine's night that we'll always remember, and will keep this in mind when celebrating a very special occasion in the future.

    Great food with amazing service! Turners Cut is a hidden gem nestled in Autry Park. Our waitress was very helpful with menu recommendations and had extensive knowledge on the different steak styles based on your preference. The presentation of the food is phenomenal! You can get a martini made table side and even the caesar salad. The Caesar Salad and Mochi Potatoes are an absolute MUST HAVE! We ordered Australian Wagyu Boneless Ribeye which was the perfect amount of food for 2. Can't wait to try different menu options

    Yum! We've heard great things about Turner's Cut, so we decided to give it a try for Valentine's Day. They had a pre-fixed 4 course tasting menu with some of their best selling dishes. Every dish we had was delicious which is hard to come by! Some notable favorites - Wagyu w/ Caviar, Gnocchi Batonnets, Scallops, American Wagyu Tenderloin, and their dessert! Loved the overall experience. Everyone was so sweet and welcoming with starting conversations. Even going to the bathroom was fun as you got a drink out of it! Definitely a more pricey upscale dining, but if you're looking for an experience that won't go wrong, this is it.

    The service at Turner's cut was excellent. All the waiters were very attentive and professional, made good suggestions and truly enhanced the experience. The food did not meet expectations. My steak came to the table lukewarm. The harvest and iceberg salads were good, but would just get the Caesar next time. For the price tag, I had higher expectations. Overall, not a bad experience. Love the look of the bar area. The main dining area looked like sometimes they play music but no one was there on a Thursday evening when I went. I would also add the dining area is a bit sterile with the all white walls and seats.

    Second time here for a special celebration. Wellington is delicious but rich for me-good to know. Great ambiance, attentive server, and classic wine presentation. Manager checked in a couple of times. No scotch cart this time (must've been busy over the weekend ), but the biggest highlight-They printed the customized images for the two student doctors at our table--such a thoughtful touch. The young men loved it. Memorable evening for all ages.

    Can I give this place 200 stars or nah?! Because WOW. It's beautiful, it's sophisticated, and every single dish came out like it was auditioning for a food magazine. And let's talk about the service--chef's kiss, top-notch, elite, no notes. This place gives full-on Great Gatsby vibes. Glamour. Class. Main-character energy. Now... the cheesecake. LISTEN. I still think about it. I still dream about it. You must order it, no matter the time of day, the season, or your life circumstances. The drinks? On. Point. I had a martini (can't remember the name) One sip in and I was ready to sing along with the musician... but I didn't, because I'm classy and mysterious like that. Anyway, go. Experience it. And thank me later.

    We visited for a networking event and were genuinely blown away from start to finish. The staff were warm, attentive, and made the entire experience feel seamless. The set menu was beautifully curated, with every course thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. The venison was cooked to perfection and was easily one of the best dishes I've had in a long time. The desserts were phenomenal, and the cocktails and wine pairings tied everything together perfectly. Overall, one of the best dining experiences I've had, and I already can't wait to go back and explore more of the menu.

    Everything was absolutely amazing! My new favorite Steakhouse in Houston! Elegance in every corner, perfect customer service, food is just divine, decor is delightful, I am practically in love with this restaurant! Beautiful Bar, the dining area is cozy and intimate, private room for 2 for special occasions, perfect place for every occasion. Special note: when you go to the powder room, outside there is a server with a small cart serving complimentary Champaign, what a beautiful touch! At the Bar, Luca is your best friend, he is an amazing bartender and knows the menu to the T! Make sure you make a reservation! Prices per person are $$$, and they have valet. Turner's Cut is the definition of perfect food, service and elegance.

    Turner's Cut has been a name I've heard over the last year as being a restaurant that offers a high quality experience. Details grasped my attention such as a complimentary bar cart at the bathroom station and printed photo martinis. However, when I started to read recent reviews, I noticed people said these details weren't available during their service. I called the day before and asked about the bathroom bar cart. The hostess mentioned that they don't offer this for every service, only evenings where the restaurant is full. She did mention that if I tell our server, they would find a way to accommodate this request. We arrived at 7pm on a Saturday to a half full restaurant. They asked us to sit at the bar for a moment while they prepared our table. The bartender recommended a cocktail and mentioned his favorite appetizer is the gnocchi batons. We were then tucked into the back of the restaurant in a comfortable booth. I ordered the Cosmo martini, but it did not come with tableside martini service as I had dreamed nor a photo printing opportunity. When I asked about the bathroom bar cart, our server explained it was really a first year perk but they weren't really offering it anymore. He promised to accommodate our "bar cart" experience at some point in the service and he did deliver. However, I went to the bathroom several times that evening and it would've been fun to have that as a consistent perk. Our server was great; he was well versed in the menu and played well with our table's energy. We enjoyed the Wagyu & caviar, a set of otoro, hamachi crudo, gnocchi batons, tableside Caesar (which had this yuzu flavor I LOVED), Australian wagyu steak, short rib beef Wellington, Alaskan king crab mac and cheese, honey glazed carrots and potato mochi. I was very impressed with the food. My only notes on food were I'd pick the potato mochi over the gnocchi batons, the Alaskan king crab mac and cheese did not wow me, and I was skeptical of the short rib Wellington for value purposes versus price- however it did have great flavor and presentation. Our server plated a lot of our food for us, which was a really nice touch. The Sommelier was very patient with me as I talked myself out of and then into the nice bottle of rioja he recommended. It was one of my favorite wines I've had. We did not skip dessert- the citrus cheesecake was beautiful and tasty. They also offered us a complimentary dessert bite- chocolate peanuts for us and a cherry dessert for our guest with a nut allergy. We truly had an amazing time and the food was top notch, but I can't help but be a little disappointed that some of the frivolous details are being phased out. I'd prefer not to ask to be accommodated with the bar cart experience and wish I had gotten more of the martini details I had heard so much about. If I could give a 4.7/5 I would.

    Sat at the bar recently and really had the best experience! 10/10. Just came for a martini and a couple other drinks to follow. The bartender Scottie was so fun! We had a blast chatting with him. The ambiance is very classy/upscale and beautiful. Need to come back soon for food next time to get the full experience!

    Cesar salad
    Jennifer B.

    The Parker house rolls were not warm, they seemed like they were sitting in the back and not freshly made would not order them again. Truly disappointed, we came for drinks and catch up, the Cesar salad was the only thing that had some appeal. One of staff members at the bar seemed more interested in getting the area open for new guest to arrive versus us being able to sit at the bar with appetizers and drinks talking. Maybe just an off night, but I might come to have a full meal in the dinning area of the restaurant, it was nicely set up.

    Alonso T.

    Service was very friendly, from our waiter, to the Cesar salad guy, to the floor manager. You can tell they like their jobs and had a great sense of humor with us. Although Turners cut is fine dining, the environment didn't feel stuffy and you actually felt full after the meal. My one complaint is people love the whole champagne/ macallen 12 when you go the restroom, but they didn't have that service when we were there. Food wise, our favorite was the Australian ribeye, cooked a perfect medium rare. Cesar salad with anchovies were also great!

    Absolutely amazing restaurant! From the martinis to the entrees to impeccable service!! I can't rave more about this spectacular restaurant and our experience! Thank you to the staff for a very enjoyable experience!

I had…read moreheard good things for years, and I remember driving past it a couple times and not seeing it or any signage. Even this time the GPS took us to an entrance that had us going the wrong way down a one-way, but we eventually figured it out I will say that the parking isn't all that great, but we were able to find a spot. If the parking lot is full you should be able to find street parking nearby Kanpai Club is a sister location to Handos. They share a kitchen and you can walk through an inside door access either. You can find the same cocktails and bites from Handos on the Kanpai menu, but there's also additional drinks and bites The bar feels like a Japanese Izakaya. It's a narrow space resembling a Japanese outdoor bar. It's intimately lit and well decorated. We did have to wait for two spots to open up, but that didn't take too long The bartenders were friendly, professional, and efficient. We went on a Friday night (fairly late), and they had two dedicated bartenders The cocktails were fun and were beautifully crafted. Most were served in novelty glassware. You can order classic cocktails, but both Kanpai and Hando offer a variety of signature cocktails. Most having some sort of Japanese or Asian fusion. They have beer, wine, and extensive sake list, as well as green tea and other nonalcoholic options The cocktails were tasty. The only one I was iffy on was their Espresso martini. It was poured from a machine and I guess there were having issues with it. The presentation was phenomenal. There was a roasted marshmallow garnish. The drink itself was far too Smokey in flavor than I like, or at least in terms of my espresso martinis The Yuzu Kosho fries were incredible. The flavors really hit the spot. The Okinawa Potato salad was both questionable to looks and and to eat lol. This purple mound of potato's had an interesting taste, look, and consistency. It wasn't bad, just... interesting and new Some tips: If you can't find this spot from the street, look for Handos. It's part of this restaurant Ask the bartender about the happy hour menu. And most nights they're open until 12am, but on Fridays and Saturdays they are open until 2am If you order food online (technically from Hando's) you can get 10% off using code: HANDO10. This is part of their "Hando and Chill" special Cheers!!

My friend ordered 4 kinds and also added an order a dessert pizza (Nutella) and it was dangerously good.. They also got a good selection of drinks from wine to brews to non-alcoholic options. They do have a small patio, seating is limited as previously mentioned. It's counter service; Parking lot is a bit tight and it's in the heights so definitely a caution.

It's located right at 19th St. and Shepherd near the light. There's a small angled parking lot that can be tight when people park along the fence. It looks like a cute tiny A-frame home with a few patio tables in the front. The inner area has about 6-7 high tables. It's nice and clean inside. The vibe feels similar to H-Town Brewing Co. but on a smaller scale. You can also sit at the bar. I didn't really like the high tables/chairs. They're not as comfortable. It was hot out, and there are mosquitos, so we sat inside. I ordered the salmon plate for steak night. The drinks here are ok, and since I don't really drink, I was looking for mocktail options. In this era, most places have mocktail options with brand alternatives like Ritual, Seedlip and Lyre's or at the least, something with juice, Topo Chico and simple syrup. The female bartender made me a NA margarita which was great. I liked that she didn't make it too sweet or too tart which happens with mocktails that don't have alternatives and are mostly juice or lemon. On the other hand, when I ordered a second, the guy bartender made it too sweet. I didn't like his version. For the alcoholic versions, they seem to have good cocktails, wine, beer and flights. They also have daily specials. Aside from the steak night, they don't serve food here. It wouldn't be my first choice of bars in this area.

I also enjoyed a sweet frozen cocktail topped with a fresh mint leaf that was perfect for a warm afternoon. Fun drinks, great value, and a unique experience. They have a food truck outside that serves food, from what we were informed. Thank you Tre for inviting me here. They did not have any food menus for the truck at the time of my visit. Happy hour start at 2pm, and the $1 Tiny Tini's start at 6pm.
