My experience was really good. The food was amazing. The way the meat would be cooked was interesting. The chocolate fondue was spectacular. Our waiter Tyson was very nice and friendly and he made the experience much better.

This was my 5th visit to Turquoise, and it measured up with all my previous visits, and it was also enjoyed by my two friends who had never been there before. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was pleasant, not noisy, and the temperature of the room was perfect. The service was really excellent, we did not wait for anything, and I changed my one order and they were very kind in doing that. My one observation was the attentiveness of the servers was too quick at times with, for instance, my coffee was removed before I was finished. The baklava is excellent. I highly recommend Turquoise Cafe.
