Not only did we watch his artistry, but we got to talk with him. He's been in the restaurant business since he was a kid and learned from his mother as well. It shows in the flavor profiles of his food. He is a master chef. We, at his suggestion, let him prepare food for us--off menu. What a treat!! Escargot, his mother's cheese balls with sauce (don't miss them!), ravioli, salad, spicy spinach and fish, pork chops, veal, etc, etc. we spent three hours enjoying Arturo and his food. We rolled out of the restaurant sated and in a state of bliss. It was an experience we won't soon forget. Go. Eat!

And we treated ourselves to a Pumpkin Pie Taco...so good Thanks to Esther (and Marcia for her smile and the other server for her great sense of humor) and her family for delicious food and a warm welcome.

I'd order it again. Service helpful and quick. Order at the counter. Ambiance was aigght. Regular local place as you might expect. Nothing special, but decent and clean.

We stopped in here for a light lunch after a morning of ducking the Mackinac Island rains. The…read morebasic premise of the restaurant is six or so different soups, eight "off the shelf" salads to choose from, and the ability to have them custom-build you a salad with either 4 or eight toppings. We had the chicken noodle (creamy and closer to a chicken a la king) and the "gumbalaya" which was a good hybrid of the two traditional stews with a lot of flavor and a nice heat level. We also had the Asian chicken and the Mediterranean salads which were good and contained exactly what you would expect them to. I did have two issues with the place. The first is that if you want to pay with a credit card you have to get your receipt from the salad/soup guys and then go stand in the burger and fries line at the interconnected Freds "deli". The second, and more substantial, complaint is in the advertising. Both the outside and main menu board of Turtle's put it forth as "Fresh - Organic - All Natural". However, the whole menu, as I read this to imply, is clearly not organic (you can see the LaChoy and GFS boxes behind the counter). As I've said, the food was good, and while there may be parts of the menu that are organic (the soups maybe?) I find it both disingenuous and unnecessary for them to imply that they are fully organic.

We stopped here for ice cream due to the huge ice cream cone on the door. We had also gotten ice…read morecream earlier in the day, and this place was slightly cheaper. I got a single (which was about a scoop and a half) of Mint Chocolate Chip in a waffle cone. I got my ice cream from one server and someone else got their ice cream from a different server and ordered the same size and got double the amount. After working in an ice cream shop, I was disappointed to see the lack of consistency. I couldn't help but feel that the person I was with who got double the amount got a better deal. The worst part about it? My ice cream was gritty. I don't know why but it was a very unappealing texture. The taste was fine, but the texture ruined it. I wouldn't get ice cream here again.
