Turning Stone Resort’s Pino Bianco and Peach Blossom
Restaurants Honored with OpenTable’s Diners’ Choice Awards
|

The casually elegant Pino Bianco has been honored among Upstate New York’s Best Italian Restaurants, as well as the region’s Most Booked Restaurants. The innovative Peach Blossom was voted among Upstate New York’s Restaurants with the Best Service, and also one of the Best Asian Restaurants in the entire New York/Tri-State Area. The award winning eateries will be featured on the OpenTable website and in the company’s seasonal emails to diners.

OpenTable’s Diners’ Choice lists feature the top 10 restaurants in each category and are updated frequently. The honorary lists are determined by thousands of local diners who have personally visited and reviewed the establishments. OpenTable is the world’s leading provider of online restaurant reservations, seating more than 12 million diners per month across 31,000 restaurants.

Turning Stone’s TS Steakhouse and Wildflowers have also been named to numerous OpenTable Diners’ Choice lists. Both venues are featured on Upstate New York’s lists for the Most Romantic Restaurants, Best Ambiance Restaurants and the Best Restaurants for a Special Occasion. TS Steakhouse was also a winner for Best Service and Most Booked, with Wildflowers being named to the Best Continental Restaurants in the New York/Tri-State Area.

“At Turning Stone, we work hard to create an enchanting ambiance and unparalleled guest experience in all of our restaurants and throughout the resort,” said Ray Halbritter, Oneida Nation Representative and Nation Enterprises CEO. “It is a great honor and extremely gratifying to see our visitors select both Peach Blossom and Pino Bianco as elite dining options in the region and state. We look forward to continuing to exceed customer expectations at all our venues.”

Continually focused on bringing outstanding dining experiences to its guests and the Central New York region, Turning Stone recently welcomed its new Executive Chef Ron Ross, a nationally respected culinary expert and three-time James Beard award recipient with more than 36 years of experience. In 2013, the resort also partnered with acclaimed restaurant strategist Elizabeth Blau to expand and upgrade its dining offerings.

Renowned not only for its eclectic mix of dining options, Turning Stone also features leading amenities, celebrated hotels and restaurants, professional-level golf courses, vast entertainment options, and a luxury retail outlet and entertainment complex opening in 2016. It is the only resort in New York State to hold three AAA Four Diamond venues at one property.
