    Wonderful breakfast/brunch venue. Obviously a neighborhood spot based on the mix of diners who were there on a Sunday. Not a budget place to eat, but rather a high quality restaurant with excellent service and food!

    Our favorite date night spot! Our server always makes us feel special, and whatever we order is always fantastic. I tend to get a fish entree because they do fish better than anywhere else I've been, but you can't go wrong with a pasta dish or the lamb entree. I got the bucatini this time and it was entirely too delicious. I think I finished it in 15 minutes, which is a feat for me as it was a full serving of pasta. We always end by splitting the chocolate hazelnut tart dessert - it never disappoints. The edge of the covered patio gets pretty cold when it's snowing, but the internal patio is heated well.

    A Relaxing Evening at Turquoise Last night, we celebrated my friend’s birthday at Turquoise, and it was such a perfect choice. The atmosphere was incredibly calming—soft lighting, gentle music, and the whole place had this serene, coastal vibe that made us feel like we were on a little vacation. From the moment we walked in, the staff was so warm and welcoming. They made us feel right at home, even surprising my friend with a little birthday touch at the table, which was a sweet start to the night. We took our time settling in, chatting, and just enjoying the relaxed pace. The food? Absolutely amazing. Everything was fresh and beautifully presented. We ordered a mix of dishes to share—each one better than the last. Their signature seafood platter was a standout, but honestly, every plate had that perfect balance of flavor and freshness. We lingered over dessert, laughing and reminiscing, with no rush to leave. The evening wrapped up with a round of drinks on the It felt like time slowed down for a bit—just good company, good food, and a place that made you want to stay a little longer. Turquoise turned out to be more than just a restaurant—it was the perfect backdrop for celebrating a special day with friends. Definitely a place we’ll be coming back to.
