Sitting outside at Tortuga’s, one might think they are indeed in the Caribbean. The setting is one of lush greenery, beautiful flowers, and plants and herbs that they use in the kitchen. With the fans blowing, even in the heat of summer there is a breeze. We like sitting outside and just taking in the laid back vibe for brunch. In the two times we’ve eaten at Tortuga’s, service has been friendly and efficient, the food selection and quality superb. Most recently, we had their Sunshine Breakfast and their grit cakes over crab cakes. Both were delicious and the crab cakes were fresh with loads of meat. Paired with a beer and a mimosa was the perfect brunch.

Nice place! Beautiful outside seating area with fresh herbs growing in raised beds right next to you. Food was good and priced fairly, service was excellent.

Food was great. Service at the beginning was great. Where they sat us there were flickering lights the entire time. One in our party had an “accident” where his food didn’t stay down. The crew handed us towels, gloves and cleaning spray for us to clean it. That was after paying. The menu is not $10 to $20 as advertised here. It’s $20 to$40+. Safe to say, we will not be returning.

We tried a different place and saw that they had an obvious political point of view/ agenda and left. We came to Tortugas and Ruby was our waitress. She was polite, respectful and wonderful. The food was great. My husband was trying to decide between 2 sandwiches and you were out of one of the main ingredients. We will be back when you have it. Thank you!

Can’t honestly rate the food, we never got any. Came in around 7pm for a quick dinner, thought the ratings and pictures looked good, we were there until 8:45pm with nothing more than water, though thank goodness for that, otherwise we would’ve had to wait another half hour for the check. The server seemed nice enough, but she talked to us maybe twice, once to tell us the specials and get our orders, once to tell us it would be out soon. 30 minutes after she said that, we decided to just cut our losses and go somewhere else so we could at least get to eat something. I don’t like doing that, I know that puts servers in a bad position, but it was over an hour for a panini and a chicken sandwich!

The food is really expensive and the service was not great. On a $10 Caesar salad, it was an extra $11 to add chicken to the salad. We had a party of 7 and my friend’s son got sick at the table and threw up and the staff made her clean it all up before we could leave. Never have I seen that happen in a restaurant.

I used to get whiny because I’d drive by and it was “never open” when I was there. That was my own damn fault bc I never took the time to look at their hours…
