Our first time to Tortuga’s and what a delicious experience. The staff were very pleasant; Laura, our server, was a delight. The charbroiled red snapper and southern fried shrimp entrees= delicious. The Tortuga Cake and Chocolate Explosion= delicious. This will be a regular stop on our beach getaways.

Food was great! The lobster bisque and truffle fries were very good. Waitress was very sweet and energetic. It was busy so our visit started out noisy but once a couple tables left it was nice. We will definitely be back!

Four ladies on a girls weekend had an outstanding experience on our “dine out” night. Our waiter, Reuben, took great care of our every need and request for our entire three hour stay. We had beautiful and tasty dishes and perfect cocktails and wine from start to finish. We made some great memories that evening! Looking forward to dining there again in the future!
