The Thirsty Turtle is a pleasant restaurant known for its excellent food and professional staff. While the atmosphere is average, the quality of the food makes up for it. The NY strip remains a standout dish, cooked to perfection, and the menu offers a variety of options that appeal to different tastes. The staff is friendly and attentive, with some employees going above and beyond to ensure a great experience. Highlights include the kids' meal featuring a hot dog and grapes, as well as an impressive beer menu with 22 taps. Guests have enjoyed dishes like the panko crusted tilapia with citrus butter sauce and the balsamic chicken sandwich, both praised for their perfect temperature and consistency. The decor features a beautiful desert palette, creating a chic and modern space that is calm and relaxing, contrasting with the previous energy of the old Trader Joe's. While not the cheapest option, the food is generally great, with some exceptions like the fajitas. Overall, The Thirsty Turtle is a solid choice for a meal out, and many customers look forward to returning.
