Reviews for Turtle + the Wolf in Upper Montclair, NJ
Nice touch on having my name on the menu for my birthday. We tried a few starters, all were good, but the chicken liver pate was... very good. Mains were solid. My wife's pork was definitely tastier than my braised beef. The beef was cooked well but it wasa bit bland. The jus was a watery stock. For dessert we had a maple mouse and whipped cream. I am not a dessert guy but thatwas dynamite. Staff were friendly. They also dress very informally if that is a problem for anyone. Read more
I was able to reserve on Resy with 2 days lead time. It asks for a credit card when reserving which helps weed out those who may... cancel. I am not mad at them for having this system in place! We did not wait to get our table once arrived and no one else whocame in really gad to either so their system is working as designed. Our waitress Candy was very warm and knowledgeable of theproducts and recipes. Quality food. We appreciated attention to detail. As you can see the menu was especially printed with a“Happy Anniversary” since I mentioned the rsvp was for that. I can tell the quality ingredients were used and whoever is thechef is passionate about their art. I was gifted a gift card from one of my clients after representing them in the purchase oftheir home and it was used well:) The portions are on the small side and food can take a tad bit long so mentally prepare ororder an appetizer. Overall great experience and would recommend! Read more
Sensational! I’ve been meaning to try Turtle + the Wolf since moving to the area last year, and it did not disappoint. Funky... and elegant atmosphere, unique dishes, and incredibly helpful staff. Perfect spot for a date night! Read more
Their fried chicken meal is so delicious! We usually take away so we can be comfortable and eat at home. But we came as a family... and the staff were friendly and patient with us. We ordered all of the desserts on the menu because we couldn’t choose one andnone of them disappointed. Great dinner spot Read more
It was last minute and they had 1 table left. And it was all amazing. Love that it's a BYOB. We've done fried chicken dinners... here before but we're super excited to have regular menu food. Did not disappoint. Read more
When you think of post covid dining there are certain boxes you want to check and Turtle-Wolf checks them all. The atmosphere is... perfect for date nights or a hang out with friends, dimly lite but not to dim, music hangs in the air but never loud enough tostop conversation. The food is so amazing, you should get a decent spread so you can try as much as possible and share amongyour party. The flavor profiles of each dish is clearly and carfully planned out, this was easily the best food I've had in along time. Read more
First time here and I found my new favorite restaurant! The ambiance, creative food, and friendly staff made it the most amazing... experience. All food was truly 10/10. The burrata appetizer and maple creme dessert were our favorites. Our server Edwin wasawesome and had great recommendations as well. We will be back! Read more
Fabulous place! I've been here before for dinner and it was wonderful. High quality ingredients used to make delicious food with... appropriate prices, and a good range of options for your budget. Most recently I was here when the location was rented out foran event. It's a great space- open and inviting, with cozy conversation spots throughout. We had a wonderful time! And the staffwas incredible and so sweet! Thanks so much for everything you did to make our event super special. Read more
