What a delightful surprise! The shrimp & spicy grit cake was the most unusual blend of flavors my tongue has ever experienced! Everyone in our party of 4 agreed it was an outstanding dish. The key lime pie had a unique lime sauce drizzled on the whipped cream. The wedge salad was enough for three guests. Two thumbs up, 5 STARS. I will definitely go back on my next beach trip. Kudos to the chef.
Great seafood and steaks; always consistent. Every time we go to Port A, Tortuga's is always on the itinerary. By the way, please get the bar some help. It takes forever to get served and has been the case the past three visits.
The food was fantastic and the service was impeccable but we were seated in the booth closest to the kitchen and there was a lot of noise and a bit of a smell. Not sure what the smell was but it was one sort of funk. Maybe avoid that table if possible.
Our server, and dang it, I forgot his name, was the best!! A pleasant polite young man who knew his job, knew his customers and knew his restaurant. Kudos to his parents for raising such a nice young man! We have been before but brought new friends who had not. I raved about the Lobster Bisque soup to them as I had it several times before. This time however, although still tasting good, was loaded with salt. I could not eat it the way it was and brought most of it home to try to make it edible. I told our server who passed it on to the chef. The chef tasted it and agreed it was way too salty but blamed the sous chef who had been so busy the day before he didn't realize how much salt he had added to the soup. I had hoped they would take the cost off of my bill but they did not. Other than that, the food was delicious and our friends raved about it all the way home! The website, and Open Table, say nothing about being closed mid afternoon for menu turnover. We arrived at our reservation time to find the place closed until 3. They did, however, let us still on the patio to wait for them to open. We will be back and hope the Bisque is less salty and that that terrific server is still the
Enjoyed the breeze on the patio, great Bloody Mary and attentive service too! Thankful they subbed out shrimp so I could enjoy a grits based meal. We all enjoyed our meals and all the tables around us were happy too / made for a great upbeat atmosphere
We loved the dishes we ordered! They came out hot and pleasing to the eye. Our waiter, Bryan, was the best!!! He was polite and made us feel welcome. His service was excellent. He went above and beyond his service to us!!! The prices were more than we expected but the food was well worth it!!! We will be back there when we go to Port A again!
Food is absolutely amazing and they have wonderful cocktails. We have taken the kids before but it is also a wonderful date night restaurant! Patio is dog friendly too which we love.
ALWAYS a great meal and experience at Tortuga’s! Shout out to Antonio at the bar for being an awesome bartender as well!

Tortuga’s is our favorite restaurant in Port A. The shrimp and grits, scallops and lemon parmesan crusted flounder are some of our regulars. Antonio is the best bartender! My favorite drinks are pain killer, lemon drop martini, and espresso martini. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
