My husband and I went to celebrate after getting married earlier that day and our servers were very kind and accommodating to our restrictions and preferences! They offered us a complimentary house wine and when we informed them that we did not drink they immediately brought us delicious sparkling apple beverages instead to give the same effect. They also have Saratoga still water available even though their menu only says sparkling so that was a nice surprise as well! The complimentary taster dish was refreshing and bright to start things off. My husbands first time having beef tartar was exceptional and he said his steak was incredible and very clean. My seasonal honey nut squash pasta was so fresh and complex, you can really feel the quality of the ingredients because after the generous portions you don’t have a heavy or upset stomach. We even got all 3 desserts to split and they were all amazing! Truly great service and unique local dishes at very affordable prices for what you experience. We can’t wait to come back and try more!

Great food and service. Can't recommend them highly enough. Great for a date night or special celebration. Our server was friendly, attentive and very accommodating. My second visit to this restaurant, and the first experience was just as great. Really enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend!

From superb ingredients to local brews, the Upstate Tavern menu offers dishes to suit the heartiest appetites and includes crave-worthy Binghamton Spiedie Rods with tzatziki; finger-licking good Wings with a choice of sauces; and Sliders featuring sharp cheddar cheese from Cuba, NY. Delicious burger choices are plenty and favorite comfort foods like Utica Shrimp Riggies, Clint’s Summer Camp Fish Fry and BBQ Glazed Beef Meatloaf will make you feel at home. The culinary inspirations are time-honored, New York-inspired and familiar American classics prepared with the freshest ingredients made from scratch and locally sourced when available.Not to be missed is Upstate’s wide selection of rotating craft beers from the Empire State’s finest breweries including Saranac, Ithaca Beer Co., and Ommegang, plus our refreshingly cold house brew, Upstate Lager, always available on tap and always a crowd pleaser.

The service was top notch. The food was a culinary adventure. Such care way taken to the smallest of details. I also appreciated the great wine list. Overall the best experience I have had at Turning Stone. Shout out to Deanne who was a wonderful waiter.

Great experience. Great selection. Wish they would open Buffet up again. Was just like the old days. Even the weekend Brunch was fine.
