Went to Turners the other day , ordered steak. Came out cooked perfectly but was very sinuey. Worse than my first review. Hope they are not cutting back on quality, read more

Located down a nondescript side street within the quaint downtown of Leesburg. Spacious interior which allows privacy for most tables, and a few covered sidewalk tables. Currently, tastefully decorated for the holidays. We sampled quite a few different dishes. The protein portion of the selections were well cooked and tasted delicious. We had mixed feelings about the sides & sauces. Wine selection was ok. Our waitress started pleasant but ended "off". Overall, a very pleasant experience. read more

Outstanding farm to table restaurant. Had a lengthy chat with the chef after dinner, and he is truly dedicated to sourcing locally grown fruits, vegetables, herbs and meats and is fully engaged in supporting small farms. The food is absolute perfection and was meticulously presented with edible flowers. I had a rib special - very generous portion falling off the bone, and substituted sweet potato mash for brown rice and it was a delectable fluffy cloud of happiness, with perfectly grilled brussels sprouts. My dining companion had the maple salmon special and it was creamy and melt in your mouth deliciousness. On a gorgeous bed of mixed veggies including sweet corn and kale, perfectly cooked and spiced. We ordered virgin versions of their locally sourced mixed drinks including one with cucumber and mint and another with watermelon and mint and they were really refreshing and perfect! Don't skip the bread. They have these tiny pretzel buns, soft hot pretzel bread and the server presented us with a dipping sauce of a chocolate infused balsamic vinegar with a blood orange infused olive oil. We normally don't even eat gluten and we demolished that thing, it was so delicious. We went with the chef's special sweet potato cheesecake for dessert and again, beautifully presented and unbelievably tasty. We were there on a quiet night in off-season and our server, Jill was absolutely lovely, helpful, knowledgeable and we enjoyed her company. She had a welcoming vibe and we were really happy to find this place! The only comment I would make is that the lighting is quite dim. It was hard to take nice shots of the beautiful plates because it was pretty dark in there. There is leading around the edges of the room but we sat at a center table in there was only one dim light source. In order to serve their beautiful food piping hot and in a timely manner, they do not accommodate parties larger than six. So keep that in mind and keep your group small to enjoy this awesome, romantic, well thought out farm to table restaurant! read more

Great tasting food prepared with a touch of class. We've eaten at Turners quite a few times and every time, we've experienced a different dish, with the same exceptional results.

We don't give out many 5 star reviews but this one is well deserved. Jill, our server was top notch. We dine out a lot and we avoid chains but with the quarantine this was our 1st dine in at a restaurant in a couple of months. Jill was great, she's been here since the restaurant opened 5 years ago and knows the menu and restaurant history inside out. And the food prepared by the chef/owner, Jack, did not disappoint. We started with the Fried Oysters fir sn appetizer. The Oysters were plump and juicy and were an excellent starter. The Shrimp and Grits lunch were full of big, fat shrimp and grits that were the perfect consistency. The Burger Salad was a good size salad with the burger at the requested medium/well with a bourbon honey mustard dressing that was delicious. For dessert we tried the Sweet Potato Cheesecake and it was perfect ending to a delicious lunch. So again, great job taking care of us Jill in a confident, professional and friendly manner. And as we told Jill before we left, "please give our compliments to the chef!" It's a bit of a hike from Altamonte Springs to Leesburg but it was nice to get out of quarantine and discover Turner's. Well make an effort to return in the future. read more

Turners - Satisfied diners - New American Near Me - Leesburg, Florida

Before leaving New Jersey to go to our Florida home in The Villages, we rehearse our usual reservations to several restaurants. The TOP OF THE LIST is TURNERS in Leesburg. Yes, it is our favorite restaurant in all of Florida. Other than the everyday specials, there are always additional specials and then even the menu! Having made reservations, we undoubtedly arrive early to have a glorious cocktail at the bar. The bar tender, whom ever it might be is absolutely accommodating and fun with lots of conversation. Upon being seated, our waiter, usually Larry, greets us and invites us to the delicious gourmet meals that await us. Appetizers, main meals and desserts are presentation and tasty perfect Dr. Adrienne Tator read more

Food is good but the owner is rude and full of himself. We had a reservation for 6:00 but arrived 30 minutes early. The hostess said she could get us seated shortly, but we continued to wait as she sat people walking in after us. The owner came out and told us that if we don't have a reservation we couldn't get a table. We told him we had a reservation but arrived earlier than expected. He told us he had limited staff and wouldn't seat us before our reserved time. We were shocked by his attitude when he told us that "if we were unhappy we could go somewhere else , as there are plenty of other restaurants in the area". We should have left at that point, but we were so looking forward to eating there as we had previously had a good meal there. Have to appreciate the blood orange olive oil and chocolate balsamic vinegar they introduced us to and have bought at Ancient Olive. Turner's May have good food but attitude counts, and the owner thinks he has a five star restaurant and can be selective who he serves., will never serve us again. read more

Turners has a lovely intimate and romantic atmosphere. The owners are so kind. The food is mouthwatering, and locally sourced. I definitely recommend Turners for a date night or small gathering with friends. It is more on the quiet side, so I would not recommend bringing children. Also, be sure to make a reservation! read more

The owner's rebuttal is not entirely true. Our server was the best part of our meal. We certainly did NOT gang up on her. Yes, this customer was offered the "opportunity " to order another meal, but she was told she would be charged for 2 meals. Unacceptable. read more

Great ambiance, great service, fantastic food. Seating arrangement allows for normal conversation with tables far enough apart to limit noise levels. Do not expect to take a party there in excess of 6 people, and call before you try for 6.... read more

Turners - White chocolate bread pudding - New American Near Me - Leesburg, Florida

What a disappointment. I should have noted the prior Yelp reviews. From the Pompous service to the mediocre food. Made reservations ,arrived empty restaurant and noted to wait at the bar.. My entrée-extremely undercooked. Sent it back- it returned in a to go bag by the owner/chef. Asked for it to be taken off the bill , the owner refused. The place was empty , should have been the first heads up. The trout bland, Skip the deviled eggs and over breaded Fried Green Tomatoes My father noted his Salmon was ok. Bland Environment. I personally would Skip this place. Better food at MCD's with better management. read more

Turners - Undercooked pork chop - New American Near Me - Leesburg, Florida

This is a hidden gem in Leesburg. Was introduced to Turners by friends several years ago. Their food is amazing. The service is great, we have always had a wonderful experience. One restaurant where I totally trust the chef to deliver a memorable experience. read more

"Ambitious but rubbish" The premise behind the restaurant and their efforts for sustainable, local farm to table recipes is thoughtful. However, every dish we had for lunch was extremely bland. None to very little seasoning, not even salt or pepper. My husbands and daughters chicken was rubbery and appeared to be microwaved. A very underwhelming lunch. read more

I loved our appetizer: fried tomatoes with cheese. Then I got the shrimps with grits. I got so excited to finish my meal. My husband felt the same about his as well. read more

Our lunch bunch had unpleasant experience. We requested a table for 7; "they don't' seat more than 6." So, requested two tables next to one-another; "oh, no can't do that." "We seat no more than 6." The hostess was quite curt, and said she'd send a manager. Manager reiterated they wouldn't seat more than 6 people in a party. Manager said this is the way they've conducted business for 8 years. Then we asked a departing customer about the food - he said "I plead the fifth amendment." Manager suggested we go to Prime 3; thoroughly enjoyed Prime 3, glad he made the suggestion. Unbelievable their first priority is chasing off customers. read more

Never disappointed. Great food and great service. Highly recommend as everything is top shelf.

I can not speak for the food, but just an FYI that they do not require staff to wear masks (and even said that none of them wear masks). In today's pandemic this is so inconsiderate and irresponsible. We cancelled our reservation and will never visit this location. read more

We tried to go here and found it was difficult to get a table without a reservation, but after eating here I understand why. The food is fabulous and service is first rate! A favorite! read more

This is my favorite local spot! From the food to the atmosphere I love everything about this place! Its farm to table and everything is fresh and made from scratch. The chef has a unique style and the food will blow your mind. The whole vibe is just relaxing. There's a peace that flows through the environment and you'll leave feeling amazing. I highly recommend Turners! read more

Remember the soup nazi on Seinfeld? If you want to go to a restaurant where they will not substitute sides, charge you $12 to share a plate with your 95 year old mother, treat you with indignity when you have 7 people to celebrate your 95 year old mother's birthday not knowing they have a 6 people policy, and have an in your face response from the owner on yelp or trip advisor when you make a negative review then this place is for you. I'm a native of Leesburg and I can guarantee you this is not how people from my hometown treat each other and the elderly. To turn away a group with a wheelchair and balloons when they are empty sounds like an awesome business model. They have a right to their seating policy and I have a right to my review. Lets see how long it takes the owner to shame me on their reply. read more

Came here with a party of 8. Would not sit us in separate tables four at each table. Stated that since we walked in together they cant split us and since she saw us coming in together they WILL NOT SIT US. Group of veterans and retired law enforcement officers. My wife followed up with the owner/chef Jack Braton. He stated that she "Should have done her homework before coming in." This guy IS the soup Nazi. I could never recommend this establishment based on such a ridiculous policy and rude ownership. Reading other comments on here I noticed that he pretty much is a consistent putz. STAY AWAY!!! AND YES THIS IS THE SAME REVIEW I LEFT ON FACEBOOK AND GOOGLE. Answer to Allison Braton - you turn away a party of 7 (we had eight as I actually stated in the review) - but if the group says "No problem, we don't have to sit together - "Place us four each at two tables, we would just like to have a nice dinner." The answer we received was "We can't do that because we saw you all come in together" - no matter who we tell this story to - it has the same response - asinine policy. Obviously, your husband and yourself have a control issue - why? I don't know, it makes no sense. We told the young lady that we are a bunch of veterans from three hours south of you - your restaurant was at best, 25% full. I truly hope that my fellow vets, riders and first responders and their families see this and compare it to your other one star reviews, and then challenge the validity of these reviews. I appreciate that you also had a friend respond to the Facebook review - keep in mind that it's rather easy to connect the dots nowadays. You have further impeached your credibility as business owners by placing a shill response. You cheated out customers and mostly you cheated out your staff that lost tips for the evening. I'm sure your turnover rate is crazy - who could ever work for such people? read more

Doink, that's the sound of my jaw dropping once I walked into Turners. Don't let the exterior fool you, the interior is stunning. I feel as if I'm in Buckhead, or Scottsdale or any large metropolitan suburb. It's energetic and at the same time zen. The service impeccable, nice guy, made sound suggestions; however, I went with the Tuna Poke. Now my critique of the Poke is mixed. Only because I like a more Asian influenced Poke. Turners rendition of Poke was plated beautifully, very lightly dressed, with micro-greens and coleslaw at the bottom. Yes, it tasted as good as it look, but I'd dump the coleslaw as it was the prominent taste, put some shoyu and mirin sauce on it and anything but coleslaw. Still, if you gave it another name, it would be good. Next I got the Cheese Burger, and coleslaw as a side. (Note I did not know I'd see it in the poke) it was awesome, I felt as if I shoulda ordered more, but I put in burger coma. Really very pleased the burger had real flavor and it was huge. Can't say I had a bad experience, all was good. Such a beautiful restaurant, with an exceptional staff. read more

I have heard so many good things about this place and it did not disappoint me. Everything was delicious and the staff was very nice.

I made reservations for my 2nd wedding anniversary about a month in advance. I decided on Turners due to reviews, photos, the menu and the farm to table concept The vibe is warm and quiet with a modern rustic appeal. I had the fried green tomato caprese and my husband had the fried oysters. My appetizer was really good however I could have gone with a little more of the blood orange oil and the chocolate balsamic vinegar. The lemon micro greens on top gave the dish a fresh finish. Very good! My husband really enjoyed his fried oysters Main meal was the shrimp and grits for myself and my husband had the grilled filet with Brussel sprouts and sweet potato mash. The shrimp and grits were the best I have ever had. The shrimp were plentiful, deliciously plump and juicy. The grits are so flavorful with a sauce made with pork. Outstanding! My husband loved his steak, though a little to rare for his taste. With that said, he ate every last bite and it was very tender. He also loved the vegetables. Our experience was excellent and I only wish the restaurant was located in CT. We will definitely be back when we are in the area again! read more

Found this restaurant on Yelp when in town for work. It was a lovely place. She got a salmon special. She said the salmon was delicious but the collards lacked flavor and the stems were tough since it was only lightly cooked. I ate a salad with chicken, pecans, mandarin oranges and black-eyed peas. It was delicious though I would have like more beans in it. The mustard poppy seed dressing was very good. Service was great though I did have to request more tea. Will go again if ever that way. read more

Pleasant experience across the board. It is nice to see the quality and selection of food, ambience and service in Leesburg. This is especially true since I'm traveling here for business several times a year. I was impressed by the friendliness of the staff and their interest in my satisfaction. The restaurant was attractive and spacious with ample room between tables. In fact they could easily add more tables without having patrons feeling crowded. There is a nice bar that appears to be well appointed. The menu is not overwhelming, while still providing a nice selection to satisfy most any pallet. There is a nice selection of seafood, chicken, beef and pork. There is a slight lean toward the seafood category but that is to be expected and welcome. The only area that should be better represented would be vegetarian/vegan. However, I expect the restaurant could accommodate on request. The theme focuses on Southern Nuevo with selections e.g. Fried Green Tomatoes Caprese, Sea Island Shrimp and Grits and Pork & Pancakes. For lunch I enjoyed the Cornflake Crusted Grouper sandwich with homemade chips. It was very good and fresh. The only think I would say is that it could have been seasoned a bit more and, for my tastebuds, I would prefer a more spicy/tangy Jalapeño tartar. In summary, I would certainly recommend Turner's to anyone and I will certainly regularly visit when in town. read more
