VERONA, New York—Turning Stone Resort Casino announced the opening of The Crescent, a 258-room luxury hotel, and Salt, its new signature fine-dining restaurant.
“As we prepare to become New York’s largest meetings and conventions resort destination, it was essential that we elevated every aspect of the Turning Stone experience,” said Ray Halbritter, Oneida Indian Nation representative and chief executive officer of Turning Stone Enterprises. “The Crescent and Salt reflect our commitment to delivering a level of luxury and hospitality that rivals the finest destinations in the world.”
The Crescent, the resort’s fourth hotel on property, includes 258 guestrooms decorated with modern textures, furniture, and luxury amenities. The hotel provides access to Turning Stone’s spas and wellness programs, restaurants, entertainment, golf, and gaming. The Crescent’s first floor includes a new grab-and-go café, The Pantry, and Oneida Sky, a heritage shop with art, jewelry, and products created by members of The Oneida Indian Nation. Rome Health Convenient Care at Turning Stone, an on-site medical center offering care for guests and team members, is also located at The Crescent.
New Restaurant
Salt, a fine-dining restaurant, is on the entire seventh floor of The Crescent. Two terraces offer three-season outdoor dining with views of the Mohawk Valley, as well as four private dining rooms that provide experiences for plated group meals. The restaurant was developed in partnership with Elizabeth Blau, a restaurateur and strategist known for shaping dining destinations in Las Vegas and across the world.
The menu includes fresh oysters selected daily from East Coast waters, caviar service, hand-cut steaks, and fresh seafood. Offerings include caviar tacos, Bluefin tuna tartare cones, double-cut Berkshire pork chop with charred peach salsa and demi-glace, a 40-ounce prime tomahawk steak with grilled shishito peppers, and maple miso black cod with salsify puree, asparagus, and roasted oyster mushrooms prepared with the Oneida Indian Nation’s Wáhta Maple Syrup.
