   Great little restaurant!! The risotto was cold and mushy. The fish was excellent. The chef did a great job with seasonings. My son had the filet and it was cooked perfectly.

   We had such a great experience here. We made a reservation and we were seated right away. The food was outstanding! I had the chargrilled fish of the day with risotto and asparagus and my my husband has the crab crusted fish of the day, we also shared 1/2 dozen oysters as an appetizer. It was soo good. I wish we ate here every day of our vacation.

   I am from Maryland and am picky about fried oysters. I've never had one properly fried here in Texas... until Tortuga. The food was really excellent. I also had a hurricane drink, which was lovely. A great restaurant and certainly the best in Port A in all the years we've come for end of summer vacation.

   We always enjoy our meal at Tortugas. With the labor shortage service is often an issue but they are doing the best they can with what they have. We love sitting outside but inside has a nice vibe too. Their prices are high, but it’s a resort town and pretty normal for the area. My kids loved the sushi they had that night.

    We expected a nice dinner during our vacation. The food is not that good for how much your paying. Boyfriends steak was unseasoned with just a dallop of herbed butter for flavor (no salt or pepper) when you’re paying 60 dollars for a steak you want it to be worth it. My risotto was cold on the outside and warm on the inside like it had been sitting waiting for the entree for a wild. The imperial crab dip was very grainy from the cheese and was not melted in any cream to smooth it out. The crab cake was way too wet and felt like undercooked cornbread stuffing. The whole place is super loud. Save your money and go somewhere else.

    The restaurant was very loud inside, very hard to carry on a conversation with our table. The food was not worth the price. Not much flavor, it did not WOW us at all. Will not be back.

    Not our first time here and as always the food was great. The only problem was the crab meat on top of the fish had lots of shell left in it. Amanda our server was fantastic. We will definitely be back.

    We had an amazing time and experience! Petey was our server and was very welcoming, kind + knowledgeable about the menu. We had oysters, the catch of the day (red snapper with crab) and asparagus which was absolutely delicious and seafood pasta. I requested a cucumber mocktail and Petey was able to have the bartender craft a delicious drink. Amazing experience overall! We really appreciate Petey’s amazing energy that contributed to a wonderful experience.

    We thought the food was amazing and the service was excellent. The menu had new and different choices from the normal Port A Restaurants which was refreshing. They are located on a main road in Port A so if you are looking for a water view you would need to choose a different restaurant. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and we will go back. Just make sure you make a reservation ahead of time.

    We had a great date night at Tortuga’s! When we got there we were seated outside with a few rowdy tables, and the hostess and server were so apologetic. Once those groups left, the noise level went down immensely and it was perfect sitting out on the patio. We enjoyed the poke nachos to start- so delicious! It came on the recommendation of our server and we loved them. Fresh tuna, crisp wontons, sweet pineapple salsa and spicy jalapeños- perfect with a chilled Pinot Grigio! For our entrees, we got the redfish ponchartrain (another recommendation!) and the charbroiled choice of the day (I forgot to even ask what it was, some type of white fish). Both were flavorful and delicious. The redfish had a yummy creole sauce. We were tempted to find a restaurant on the water but above all wanted delicious seafood. Tortuga’s was a great choice!

    Worst customer service from there hostess that was working Wednesday night. We have made it a tradition to eat here at least one time during our visits to the island. Our family made a reservation via OpenTable. We verified if they were pet friendly, as we brought our mini Golden-doodle with us on this family trip. When we showed up for our reservation, I notified the hostess of our fur baby. She immediately became rude and said they could not accommodate our family due to no tables available outside. She did not try to accommodate outside seating or even offer to add us to the wait list. The lack of help to redeem the situation, paired with a rude attitude, did not help make a positive experience. It’s unfortunate how the lack of decent customer service can change our mindset to never visit this restaurant again. We headed to TroutStreet bar & Grill, where they had the sweetest customer service, loved on our fur baby and turned our frowns into smiles. We will be removing Tortuga from our places to visit when we’re in town and keep to our Trout St., Grill and other local restaurants.
