Slow Fresh Food
Your destination for food prepared from locally
available seasonal ingredients. Slow Food is also
simply about taking the time to slow down and
to enjoy life with family and friends.
We at The Turtle try to provide a place to relax and enjoy the conversation of your family and friends while celebrating the diversity of the earth’s bounty.
We feel that the enjoyment of good food and
conversation is essential for happiness. We are
dedicated to the revival of the kitchen and the table as centers of pleasure, culture, and community. We
advocate the return to conversation centered leisurely meals. We think a firm defense of quiet material pleasure
is the only way to oppose the universal folly of
Fast Life.
Our menu changes with the seasons in order to provide you with the freshest possible produce and a
variety of taste experiences. We are making every
effort to support local growers and encourage our customers to direct us to new sources.
