Oneida Indian Nation Homelands (April 5, 2022) – Turning Stone today announced the highly-anticipated grand opening of its all-new 7 Kitchens market-style buffet is set for Friday, April 29. The totally redesigned eatery will combine quality artisan food prepared by Turning Stone’s award-winning culinary team, with a contemporary design infusing crisp, clean whites, contrasted by stark blacks and shades of deep greens. With seating for more than 370 guests, 7 Kitchens is Turning Stone’s largest restaurant and guaranteed to be among guests’ most popular. During its initial launch, 7 Kitchens will be open for dinner on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
