| - Before I write a review, I generally first read all the other Yelpers reviews, if there are any. Why? Because I don't really need to write something just to exercise my fingers, I figure I want to ADD something to the convo. (Hint, hint orangeheads!)
In the case of the Turf Accountant (still don't know why it's called that)... I would point you to both David B's review AND to Pierre Trudeau I's (guessing: not his real name). I have to agree with everything they BOTH said, although they have dramatically different takes on this place.
That's because I've been to Turf probably a dozen times, on different days of the week and at different times of day, and have had a different experience each time. So I guess what I can add to the convo is: this place ain't consistent!
I tried breakfast today. I work at Practical Art on Central north of Camelback (check us out, yelpers!)... and because we open on Sunday at noon, I make it a special splurge each Sunday to treat myself to breakfast out while I read the Sunday Times and Repulsive. A leisurely breakfast - my favorite place to do this was always Palatte, which left me. Sniff. Anyway so I've been whoring around for a new fave breakfast place and haven't found it yet. I have had many fun times at night with the great beers offered at Turf, and even had a delightful dinner one evening (my date and I split the vegetarian boxty and the shrimp dish, both were delish and exceeded our expectations).... and I kept noticing that they serve breakfast on Sundays... so I HAD TO try it. Sigh, so sad. A rather pathetic menu and inattentive service and weird blaring music as if it were a Friday night bar scene.
Anyway I'm still in favor of Turf, love it as a fun bar, and the dinner food is decent for an occasional meal. Not for foodies as David B. notes, but decent. Skip the breakfast idea unless you are FAMISHED and you didn't realize that there would be a multi-hour wait at Matt's.
