Turn Bar & Grill - Los Alamitos

It's easy to get to and park. The food is fairly expensive but it's good. I particularly like that you can sit outside at night and enjoy the weather. Service is friendly and quick.

Food was good and the right size portions. Noisy but happen to be the Warriors play off so not typical. Clean, service could have been alittle more attentive to us.

The reviews for Turn seem quite mixed (and the restaurant was only half full on the Saturday evening when we visited) so I wanted to weigh in with our recent experience. We were greeted warmly and seated immediately. Our server was quick to check in and offer us a drink. The service was friendly and efficient, our drinks and appetizers came out quickly. We ordered the fried chicken and waffles, which was a hit, the bruschetta (which was a little on the sweet side but otherwise good) the turkey burger, which was well seasoned and gobbled down, and the Turn Mac n Cheese, which was also really good. We would definitely go back, either with the kids (like on this visit) or just adults. If you had a less than stellar experience the first time you visited (like we did) give it another chance they seem to have worked out the kinks.

Service really needs to be improved. Tried it when it opened. Had problems then. Waited 2 years and tried again. Still poor. Brought appetizers and entries at same time. Dishes from wrong table kept arriving. Drinks slow. Wouldn't customize a drink on the menu (because premise) but come on, they have the bar right there with the best ingredients. Clearing was slow. Such potential, but just doesn't have it right.

Mediocre service with mediocre food at medium to high prices, your typical Los Altos joint.
