Outstanding food! All 4 of us got different entrees and all were great! Lovely server who knew the menu offered suggestions. The only neg would be that it was very crowded but, of course, a crowded restaurant is usually great! Go there... You won't be disappointed!

Well, we’ve gone there I think till three times the first time Ray just was really nice. The service was good the other two times they were not friendly and seemed a little put out because we had a handicap person that needed to be in a certain area close to the bathrooms and we needed to have a couple of extra chairs because they have equipment they need to put down and so we were not greeted in a helpful way at all both times, but overall the food was good. We get served food right away. Price is reasonable, but just not very sympathetic to those. I just need a little extra help.

We were in Siesta Key for Thanksgiving and saw Turtles was serving a traditional Tday meal plus other entrees. We’d eaten at Turtles on previous trips to SK and was always happy with the food and atmosphere. We made reservations for 6:30pm. I mention this because I’m sure the staff was exhausted by then after a very busy holiday, but we were still greeted warmly and seated outdoors. It was dark, but sitting by the water made the evening more memorable. Most of our party ordered the turkey meal with all the traditional, yet gourmet sides. I had the coconut encrusted mahi mahi, and it was definitely the best meal I had the entire vacation. If you’re in the area, I would highly recommend stopping by Turtles for food or drinks (we loved the house Cabernet). You won’t be disappointed!

take out dinner for my wife and I. Blackened grouper tocos were excellent. My wife had a 6 oz filet that was surprisingly good for a primarily seafood restaurant. total cost was $50 a great value.

Really enjoyed eating here at the Turtles Restaurant. I actually ate here twice while here in Siesta Key and was impressed both times. I really liked the stuffed shrimp, I’d never had anything like it before. The second time I had the fish tacos with blackened grouper. I have to say that was my favorite. I also had a Key Lime Colada. I enjoyed it so much I had to have two. Lastly I really liked the location by the bay and the views from the patio.

This is a great spot. Been here a few times. Had a nice server, prompt service and great food. Finish up at the beach and stop for some lunch or dinner.
*UPDATE* Here I am again in Sarasota and I went here again. This time I had the Chicken Alfredo. It was fantastic. Great service as always. I'll stop again. Maybe the steak.

We had a party of 6, they added nutmeg to my cocktail which the smell overpowered the drink and made it undrinkable, the shrimp Alfredo tasted like it was sauce from a jar and the shrimp wasn't very impressive, my daughter really enjoyed the salmon and my husband liked his burger. The kids macaroni and cheese looked good but my grandson didn't eat it. The bathroom was fun and our waiter was friendly

I am a regular at Turtles and was fortunate enough to get Savannah as my server. She has personality plus and took my dining experience to the next level by suggesting menu items I may not have tried but so glad I did! If you want delicious food at affordable prices then make Turtles your destination. And if you want to accompany a good meal with excellent service, request Savannah!
