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.

Wonderful food and service! All of our appetizers were excellent but the tuna tartar tostada is truly exceptional. The Ceaser salad is great but be sure to mix in the dressing that sits at the bottom of the bowl. Salmon and chicken are outstanding. My filet was slightly over cooked but the sauce and the green beans were delish. Highly recommend this place!
