The Turntable will offer a different dining experience with a focus on small plates featuring locally sourced farm-to-table ingredients. With a seating capacity of 30+, the restaurant will provide a cozy atmosphere for guests to enjoy a diverse menu inspired by the vibrant flavors of Ohio and beyond.
Malone's culinary creations range from a classic "I Am a Real American" pressed smash burger to modern interpretations of traditional Italian dishes like the "Peoples Therapy." The menu will also feature an extensive selection of wines, sakes, cocktails, and beers to complement the diverse culinary offerings.
Drawing inspiration from post-World War II listening lounges in Japan, The Turntable will feature a state-of-the-art Hi-Fi sound system playing vinyl records including jazz, blues, classic rock and more. Malone’s goal is to transport patrons into a world where exceptional food meets unparalleled ambiance.
Rob Malone is looking forward to contributing to the Downtown Tiffin revitalization stating, "I'm excited to bring a small, quaint farm-to-table culinary forward restaurant to the area I grew up in and be a part of the apparent reinvestment and flourishing community." Malone, along with his wife Brittany, resides in Downtown Tiffin and is committed to being an integral part of the community's growth.
Tyler Shuff, Development Director of the Tiffin Community Reinvestment Group (TCRG), shares the excitement, stating, "I'm thrilled to see a new eatery opening in Seneca County that will support our local farms and farmers. Rob's vision fits the mission of the TCRG."
The Turntable is set to open its doors at 116 S. Washington Street in the Laird Building this spring 2024. For more information, visit The Turntable’s website at www.tiffinturntable.com

About Downtown Tiffin
The revitalization of downtown Tiffin began in 2011, when a group of community members came together to form “Tiffin Tomorrow”, with the goal of promoting and encouraging economic development in Downtown Tiffin, and creating plans, programs and actions to ensure long-term vitality and prosperity. In 2014, the City of Tiffin contracted with SIEDC to act as the downtown organization and “Tiffin Tomorrow” came under the SIEDC (now TSEP) umbrella as the “Downtown Development Board,” which serves as the governing board of the downtown organization. In 2015, Tiffin joined Heritage Ohio’s Main Street Program. For more information, click here.
