What a charming and beautiful spot, loved the decor. Was here for double date night this past Sunday night. Place was ridiculously packed. Luckily, seated right away and waitress came to take our order. I liked how they gave us complimentary side dishes to try. Bread, butter, sauces and marinaded veggies. We order the tuna tarter appitezier, sushi rolls. Our friends got flounder and tempera roll. Food was all very good, no complaints. Sushi was fresh, and flavorful. Service was on point until towards the end. The place was just packed. I am not gonna hold it against our waitress, because she tried to be accomendating as possible. They were just swamped, we had to cancel part of our order because we couldn't wait any longer. Really should hire more staff on a crazy night like that. Still, won't let that spoil the experience. I would still come back to try the fish next time.
As the restaurant's name suggests, Turquoise specializes in fish that is kosher. The ambiance is modern and upscale. The food is simple yet well executed. During lunch hours, you'll find business professionals and likeminded individuals having meetings. Another point to take note of is the lunch price fix menu which includes a salad, an entree, and a dessert for $21.
I started with the Israeli salad. The tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions were chopped finely giving each bite a medley of tastes. I also liked the blend of oil, vinegar, and lemon used for the dressing. The salad was quite refreshing. I also liked the garlic and parsley butter which was served with the complimentary bread.
For my main course, I opted for the St. Peter's Tilapia with rice and steamed vegetables. The fish was broiled, and it came out very moist and juicy. I have never characterized fish like that before. The breading was light yet flavorful.
I finished my meal with a homemade biscuit cake which I would classify in a similar family to a napoleon or tiramisu cake in that elements of thinly baked dough were layered with mousse.
The service was quick and promptly accommodated any requests. There was no hostess, yet I was seated fairly quickly. Lastly, I'd like to reiterate that the lunch deal is quite good!
