    Australian Wagyu Boneless Ribeye cooked medium, with crispy potato mochi and yuzu sauce
    Suha K.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    This place is divine. The shrimp cocktail is a must have. Very attentative waitress. Soo good.

    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!

    Alaskan king crab Mac & cheese ($48)-- strozzapreti pasta with a creamy peppery Gouda cheese sauce, yum!
    Wendy T.

    Wow... wow! It's been a while since a restaurant has impressed us as much as Turner's Cut-- from the excellent service to the delicious food; we were impressed with each dish and smile. It was really fun to celebrate here! ** Caesar salad-- prepared table side for theatrics and comes in a tiny portion, but man, each crisp baby gem lettuce leaf was loaded with flavor. The Caesar dressing is made in front of you and it is extra creamy and rich but somehow refreshing instead of heavy. Get the vinegared anchovies, yum! ** Potato "mochi"-- definitely no mochi or QQ texture here, but the light crispy shell contrasted with the hot creamy interior was excellent. Didn't even need the garlic aioli. ** Crab Mac and cheese-- fun strozzapreti pasta cooked al dente (yay, not mushy!) with a peppery creamy Gouda sauce. Totally tasty even without the crab. ** Egg truffle risotto-- beautiful and hearty, enjoyable even without breaking and mixing the poached egg. Enjoyed the mushroom pieces and cheesy flavor that wasn't overwhelming. ** Rainbow carrots-- cooked nicely without being mushy or too crunchy, and the honey butter really sweetened things up. Delicious :) ** Australian boneless ribeye-- love a good medium rare and they delivered! The steak was salted nicely and it didn't need any sauce. The flavor was so great that MT was convinced it was dry aged even though it wasn't described as such on the menu. Best steak in recent memory! ** Chocolate soufflé tart-- while it wasn't quite a souffle to me, this dessert was still yummy. The inside is a creamy, almost lava cake texture with a tart shell consistency on the bottom. I asked to omit the grand marnier ice cream and they offered to sub it with coffee ice cream which was delectable! This one will please chocolate lovers :) ** Vanilla panna cotta-- and while this one was also not a true panna cotta texture, it was a scrumptious ice cream / mousse that didn't melt. So much vanilla flavor, holy cow-- I would order this one if it was on the menu! Thank you for the birthday surprise :D Our team was stellar-- Ramone was the friendliest back waiter I've met, and Matthew was great at guiding us for the evening without being pushy (especially since we didn't order drinks!). They ensured our waters were refilled and checked up on us appropriately. The hostesses and manager, Richard, were all really welcoming as well. Everyone seemed to enjoy working there, and it reminded me how much better a meal could be elevated with such great service-- amazing job! Definitely was happy dining in their indoor sun room near the windows instead of their intimate, dark, more traditional steakhouse area-- the natural lighting was beautiful! Dress code is formal with jackets recommended for guys. It's also a little chilly so bring something to cover your shoulders. Parking in the garage is partially validated (1-3 hours for $5), and street parking and valet are also options. Definitely returning to try more dishes! Next time you're celebrating something special, give Turner's Cut a try!

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!!

    Great bar Met some…read morefriends here after dinner. They were packed and boomin when we arrived. Dj set up right behind us and got the night started right. Even though the place was completely full, the service was still quick and really good. They brought out more chairs to accommodate our growing party and we never had to wait long for drinks. After about an hour, we slid through the back door and into the speakeasy. This portion of the bar was equally impressive and had the same high end vibe. More great service, more great drinks. Some Louis XIII may have been poured- which came with white glove service and a complete history lesson btw lol Literally zero complaints. Just a great night out.

Somehow I've never been here before, which is crazy, since like all middle aged white guys, I went deep down a Bourbon hoarding rabbit hole for a time.

The service was tip top, and spent a good amount of time chatting us up on new bottles they just got in, and what has been popular. We settled on a couple pours and had a great visit. I'll certainly be back.

First, they have parking.. it was easy for us to find a spot on a Friday night. They do check IDs at the door, and it's Ssmall inside with intimate vibes, and plenty of outdoor seating.

I read on their sign that they are doing a Steak Night soon, and I can't wait to see the pricing and how that tastes. Love that it's in my neighborhood, and such a fun place to go to. Check them out!

    Stopped in for a drink after work, thankfully not too far away from where I work in downtown…read more A big win for me was that they have designated parking, I had parked but wasn't sure and then saw Dylan, bartender, and I asked him and he said I was fine in the parking lot next to the bar, and that they also had parking across the street on Enid St. For me that's one thing that's important is to have parking. Midtown with their questionable parking makes me not want to go. Upon entering, the place is a nice, intimate setting, with a handful of seating areas along with bar and outside seating. Recommend bringing a light jacket as it was a bit cold. The menu had a variety of offerings, and noted that all drinks are $12. They are card only, so bring your card or tap to pay and also your ID. Because they are 3 feet from a school and are considered a private club, they comply with TABC regulations to ensure safety and efficiency in their business. From the variety of the drinks, I opted for my signature drink, an Old Fashioned, it definitely had a bite to it. I slowly sipped on it while I lounged in one of the seating areas. My sister tried the Starduster Ranch Water, and she didn't like it, I had a sip of it and it tasted like only way I can describe is like soap. Saw that they also have Mocktails and THC Beverages, I didn't try any of them. We headed out as we were trying to grab dinner and Starduster doesn't currently offer food. I did get to speak with Dylan again outside and he clued me in on a couple of things they are planning to do such as having food trucks and also open the upstairs for additional space. Overall, I know being new (had just opened last week) there are many things being worked on and do hope that things improve here and they add additional seating, it got busy for a bit and seating was standing only. Thankfully I was there early enough and got a nice cozy seating area. I removed a star because both my drink and my sister weren't really anything special, it tasted like they were premade and poured from a tap, I missed seeing each one be made. I did like that there aren't TV's inside, it helps maintain the personal interactions natural and focused. Outside they do have TV's which makes sense for bigger groups. Though the seating is limited inside, likely to maintain it as a cozy and intimate space, outside has a lot of seating AND they are PET FRIENDLY! In cold weather without heating lamps, don't think anyone would really sit out there. Once spring and summer arrive, it will be nice. On their menu they indicate "Weekly Specials" Spaghetti Western Sundays Monday Night Steak Night (not sure why it wasn't happening the day I was there, would've enjoyed some steak) Tarot Tuesdays Whiskey Wednesday
