What Payton Kessler doesn't like about Turtle + the Wolf:
Just didn't particularly like the atmosphere . It doesn't warrant the prices though the chicken was very good. Don't feel it's nice enough for a get together unless it's your local restaurant. The waiters and waitresses were overly casual in dress which we thought was a bit odd at those prices. View all feedback. What DAMIAN ALBERTO MIRANDA MORALES likes about Turtle + the Wolf:
The food at this restaurant is absolutely outstanding, and you can bring your own drinks (BYOB). Each time we've visited, the waitstaff has provided excellent service. Plus, the prices are very reasonable given the top-notch quality of the food. View all feedback.
