This is a gem of a find. The menu is outstanding the quality of the dishes are impeccable! Will be back with any out of town visitors especially if they think we, here in little Brownwood, dont have anything to rival The big city. The wine list is extensive, creative, curated with the adventurer at heart!

Food. 5 stars. Atmosphere. 5 stars. Service. 10 stars. I mentioned to the waitress that it was my husband and Is anniversary, and before we left she came to our table with this lovely card. Just for us. I think The Turtle will be our anniversary spot for many years to come.
