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!

This is a restaurant that is able to be both fancy and casual. My wife and I have loved dining here for special occasions and to take our grandma out to dinner. We even recently had our baby shower here which was wonderful. Our favorite item to get is their hummingbird cake and for salads, my wife absolutely loves their cheddar cheese dressing!

Great service by the gentleman who waited on our table during restaurant week. Very attentive, polite, efficient, and had impeccable timing... there was a touch of fine dining feel to the pacing and service for our meal, which did not go unnoticed! The restaurant also provides a separate fork and knife for each course, which was lovely and unexpected. Bread and butter: fantastic. Appetizers: Very basic but fine Entrees: The portion sizes are huge and appreciated by the hungry crowd. Short rib entree is well thought out with flavors that worked well together-- clearly prepped ahead and well executed. The entrees that required stove top cooking in the kitchen did not do as well, including the shrimp, which was splashed with a white wine that was not mixed into the food or allowed to cook off. My impression was that the kitchen might have been extremely overwhelmed, because many of the elements were done well but had hints of carelessness from being rushed The desserts may be mass produced and in my opinion not worth ordering. This review is for just the restaurant week menu. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Food: 3 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

The building is old and has a mildewy smell but everything was clean and we'll taken care of. The staff was very friendly and efficient. We shared the breaded artichoke hearts which were excellent and served with a garlic sauce. The plate was huge; we weren't able to eat them all. The beer menu has a good selection of beers from Wolf Hollow and the wine list was very good also. The salads were fresh and the dressings were all homemade. My wife had the Shrimp Genovese and I had the Veal Savannah. Both the veal and the shrimp were excellent but the sauces were very similar and too heavy and complex for the them. The vegetable was served family style. We took slices of the Oreo Stuffed Cake and Hummingbird Cake home to enjoy later. Both are made in house and both were excellent.

We just had what might very well have been the perfect meal. We started with the escargot on mushroom cap special, the Prime Rib Poutine. The escargot dish was loaded with flavor with a delicious garlic butter to spoon over. The Prime Rib Poutine could very well have been a meal on its own, delicious beef, melted poutine and thick cut steak fries under the layers of beef. Our meals came with a side salad on a chilled plate!! All of the Turf’s salad dressings are homemade, we both ordered the creamy cheddar dressing and it was hands down the best dressing I’ve had on a salad. It was similar to blue cheese but with cheddar. The Tuscan chicken OMG, perfectly cooked chicken with Canali beans and spinach with another delicious garlicky butter sauce and lemon. The Beef Wellington was a tender perfect medium rare filet mignon coated in a mushroom and Prosciutto in a flaky puff pastry. We ended our meal with Crème brûlée, it was our first time trying this dessert and it’s a new favorite, it was so good we forgot to take a picture. The service was just as amazing as our meal, we can’t wait to go back and try more menu items. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $30–50

Went here on a Saturday night and the food was pretty good. Would definitely try again. Good amount of parking as long as a banquet is not going on. Had chicken marsala which was really good. I recommend checking this place out.

We were here years ago and weren’t overwhelmed so we didn’t come back. Well we tried it again and what a difference. The food was fantastic and had many nice little touches. The service was very friendly and didn’t rush us. It was a great overall experience and we will be back.

We had a great get together at the Turf Tavern with friends we have missed because of Covid . Party of eight and Doreen was exceptional taking care of all our needs. We all enjoyed our meals - had to try the Dill Pickle Pizza just because who has ever heard of such a crazy thing. It was delicious! Great food, great ambiance - loved how our table was tucked away in the back for a private feel. Thanks Maria for setting that up. We certainly would recommend this hidden gem. Thanks to Jeff also for some great Bloody Mary’s! We will be back.

Went there for Schenectady restaurant week. Got a 4 course meal for $25 and it was awesome. I got the Maple glazed pork chop and my fiance got the slow roasted steak. Both were tender and juicy! The meal came with an ok small salad. The lobster cakes we had for an appetizer was very good, but only came with 2. For desert we got a marble cake and a dense chocolate cake. Both tasted good but nothing special. Their mixed drinks were made strong and weren't overly expensive. The staff was very nice and the food came out fast! The inside if the restaurant is rustic-y and has tables as well as a bar. They also do catering and have a banquet hall. For sure worth going to for a nice sit-down dinner or for a drink!
