Honestly, I'm not sure what more I can say—this place is amazing. I'd been here earlier last year, and they've since refreshed the menu, which I loved. I ended up discovering new drinks that somehow topped my favorites from before. The food is excellent, the atmosphere is warm and cozy, and the service is truly outstanding.

Food is 10/10 service is 10/10 such a mine. I found the spot by accident came all the way from Quebec and the service by Taylor was great. The healthy Salad was one of the best salads that i’ve ever try. I really recommend it

Stopped by for a couple of drinks and it was an okay experience overall, but not one that really motivates me to return anytime soon. I had the Chinatown Special cocktail and it was fine, though it missed the mark for me. When I order a cocktail, I usually look for balance and a sense of intention, where the flavours and texture come together in a way that feels harmonious and easy to drink. I didn’t quite get that here. The ginger came through very strongly and felt overdone, which made the drink taste heavy rather than refreshing. It would have been interesting to lean more into the savoury notes from the other ingredients to balance it out, but as it was, it was unpleasant for me.
I ordered fries to go along with the drink, partly to offset it. I don’t recall the menu mentioning that they were thick cut, so that was a bit of a letdown since I was expecting thinner fries. While they were crispy on the outside, the centres had an odd texture that felt off to me, almost like you could tell they had been frozen at some point, which affected the structure of the potato. They were also on the dryer side so the ketchup definitely helped. Overall, nothing was terrible, but nothing really stood out enough to make me want to come back.
The place is smaller and we were seated at this long bench where you have a small table between two people and you sit beside each other. I think this would have been fine if the rest of the experience with the food and drinks were better. It’s an interesting experience looking at the bar right in front of you though for the time you’re there.

Cute little place. Best to have a table in the front. We sat at the chefs table in the back. Bar in the front is lovely to stare at. Cute spot for a date.

Everything there checks out for me, from space design to sound. Non pretentious, elegant and weird. Impeccable service. Will be back several more times to try everything.

I promise the food is just as good as it sounds on the menu.
The cod pasta dish was so creamy and flavourful. The broccoli Caesar is tough to not inhale. My favourite by far was the mushroom shawarma. That was unbelievable and I’m still thinking about it.
The space is really tight and I feel like really ideal for groups of 2. 4 of us were at a table and it was really uncomfortable.
I will definitely be back and I’ll be trying 416 snack bar too!

The food was incredible. We got the Steamed Black Cod in Laksa with Vermicelli and the Kaya Toast for dessert both to share since we weren't super hungry. Both really hit the spot! One small things: our seats weren't super comfy at the table up the stairs by the kitchen. But all in all a great spot.

First time visiting Short Turn and will definately return. We had the cod and chicken. The cod was cooked perfectly - soft and buttery.
The service was amazing. We sat at the bar stools facing the kitchen and really enjoyed the view. It is a tight space which I feel like is part of the vibe so expect to be bumped into a bit. Cocktails were excellent. Food was great. Will be back!

Cocktails are always great, yes. Food is always great, yes. Service? Great. But of note: tonight I ordered a coke and not only did it come in a sexy tall glass with a gorgeous little lime wedge perched on top, it came with a BEAUTIFUL PLASTIC STRAW, not a dumb paper straw that lasts 3 minutes, no, a real thicc plastic straw circa 2015, one that had enough diameter and girth for proper beverage enjoyment, and when I tell you that that coke was the best goddamn coke I’ve ever had in my life???? I mean it with my full chest. I love you short turn
