Reviews for Turtle Island Cafe in Willsboro, NY
Yeah not sure why this place gets such good ratings here. Maybe people don't travel enough or not far away. The "praised"... mussels were just ok. The lobster roll, while tasty, is not something extraordinary. The osso bucco was palatable and well made,though. One thing to notice, is that all restaurants in this area is that the portions are little compared to the prices:( Another thing i didn't like is how cramped the place is. Seats are tiny. Space between tables is almost non-existent. Itmade it worse when some two men band started setting up and started to sing old country songs off tune. There was also noannouncement not a sign at the door for us to decide to eat here or not. Read more
9/22 Came upon this place by accident. Inside is quaint with nice bar. Menu options all seemed great. Decided on several... appetizers! Will definitely be back! Everything including service was better than expected. Read more
Wow! Amazing food, great menu, beautiful presentation, friendly service, and really good prices. What more could ask for? My... kids loved it, my spouse loved it, and I loved it. I had the Shrimp Po-Boy -- super delicious. My spouse had the portobelloMushroom Sandwich is it looked gorgeous. Can't wait to go back. Read more
We stopped here unplanned expecting a generic small town cafe. This is not typical diner food, it is exceptional quality. We did... a tapas lunch and everything we had was very good. My nephew got the wild caught fish dinner and some of the best fish I've hadoutta a restaurant in quite some time. The outdoor seating is okay but could use some updating. However there is a propane rockfire place thing to sit by for drinks. Read more
I hadn't been at Turtle Island Cafe in many years since we moved from Willsboro. The return to Turtle Island was a pleasure and... didn't disappoint. The decor remains classic, the service (I think her name was Lu) was very professional and the lunch wasdelicious. The buffalo wedge salad was a nice way to add some protein to the classic wedge salad. The buffalo chicken and bluecheese dressing is always a winner. Looking forward to the next visit to Turtle Island Cafe! Read more
Absolutely AMAZING food in this terrific find, a real gem! We enjoyed the Cesar salad with grilled Salmon, the PEI MUSSELS (if... you love Mussels you can NOT MISS THESE!!!) served with a fresh Ciabatta baguette with a broth that will knock your socks off!!Absolutely delicious flavor profile, you will not be sorry for ordering this dish! If you love barbecue/smoked meats, theBrisket is the bomb, served with potato purée that tastes a lot like cheesy grits, oh if I could have eaten more!! Also orderedpork Osso Bucco that was falling off the bone, braised to perfection with large marrow bone to bring your tastebuds to a wholenew level of delight. YES, we definitely ordered dessert but took it home to eat later, way later! Again, can?t impress upon youmore to not miss these Mussels!! Your WELCOME! Our server was Mackenzie and quite frankly, she set the tone for a reallywonderful Dining experience, BRAVO! Read more
