Fantastic food and service. The space was freezing cold, though, and patrons were crowded around our table as they waited to be sat.

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.

We had the brunch and everything (food, service) was excellent. I gave 4 stars for value instead of 5 because the food was a very good value but the drinks were a little expensive. We would definitely return for a visit.
