Horrible and when we finally were able to send it back it was late and stated we didn't want anything else. Reluctantly removed it from my check because I didn't want to wait for more food and then started heckling over whether I ate a few of the extra $$ home fries which were oily and gross. This server was aggressive and snotty...I always tip even the bad ones..apparently my spouse did not leave a tip which I was unaware of.

This place is nothing fancy inside, but an ultimate hidden gem! We walked in and the small place was packed! The server said the food wait was a while. We didn't mind. It ended up being maybe 15 minutes. The three of us ordered: BLT Eggs Benedict, French Toast, English muffins and a fruit cup. All the food was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious! There's only one short order cook. He does a one-man show cooking 4 to 5 meals (maybe more) at one time. It was incredible watching him. Overall, Customer Service was great. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. There's one very tiny restroom in the back of the restaurant. Regarding parking, we just grabbed a spot on the street. Looking forward to stopping back into the Turtle Cafe!

I went with the Croque Cajun which was absolutely delicious. The sauce on the toast had so much flavor and it went perfectly with the shrimp. We also had to try their desserts.

I'm a celiac and vegan, it's incredible to be able to choose from everything on the menu. We happily drove 60 miles a day to eat there and we will be back anytime we're in Connecticut! A customer I ran into drives from out of state for their food. The food is always fresh, made to order and Delicious! If you require organic, vegan, gf they are the destination. We had spectacular service from Christine and the rest of the staff. We had almost everything on the menu, fluffy pancakes, wraps, bowls and pizza. We also took food/dessert to go for later. I almost forgot, it's a beautiful seaside location, Best cafe!!! You have to go.

The home fries were so plain it was like eating boiled potatoes. The pancakes were just ok. English muffin burnt and no jelly offered. At least there was real maple syrup. I guess the scrambled eggs were the best thing. The bathroom needs updating and cleaning. Our particular waiter was great. He was new. The other waitstaff was pretty rough and unwelcoming and shouting orders across the place like "DON'T seat them until you check the list first!" My first reaction was to leave due to this but it had gotten such great reviews. Maybe if our expectations weren't so high it wouldn't have disappointed so much. I wouldn't return.

Everything here is made from scratch -- you can taste the love in every bite. We had fresh coffee, a breakfast sandwich on a homemade biscuit, and even found a gluten-free Hostess-style cupcake that somehow made the rain feel like part of the charm. The ingredients were simple, real, and fresh -- the kind of food you don't rush through. I even brought home a piece of cheddar cheese cornbread for my love -- because some things are too good not to share. If you're ever looking for a place that feels like a warm hug by the water, this is it.

Other than this, I can tell you that nothing about the decor of this place is slick or designed for Instagram. Refreshingly, the main focus of this business is to make some of the world's best donuts and sell them at reasonable prices. The coffee is perfectly serviceable. They also offer breakfast and lunch menu items that are thoughtfully prepared and priced right as well. Personal favorites include: cherry cake donut, sour cream cake donut, maple frosted raised donut, powdered sugar jelly donut.

Everything we had we loved! Drinks were delicious, and spot on. Because of the season, it was really busy, and our waiter seemed a bit overwhelmed. We ordered wine for our meals, and it didn't come until after we finished eating. Understandable with the season, but did feel a little hard to get something if we needed it! Overall I'd recommend going because it's worth the fun Christmas vibes.

Unfortunately, most of nearly every aspect of our experience was disappointing: *While we were expecting a small, quaint room (which we certainly got), we were not expecting the walls to be paper thin and the heating system to be ineffective. We were located in the inn itself, and you could hear folks on the stairway, going into their rooms, etc. The heating in our room was really wonky--75 degrees and it felt icy cold. For $300 a night?? *The Thanksgiving buffet was OK. We tried to get drinks at the bar beforehand and had to wait a long time because the ONE woman behind the bar decided to hate us from the onset and serve every single person there before grudgingly turning to us. As for the food, there were some hits and misses. We appreciated that there were some salads available, and while the stuffing was bone dry, it tasted pretty good. There were some other roasted veggies and mashed potatoes, and we did like the turkey. Dessert, however, was disgusting. It was either defrosted Betty Crocker or from an Aramark catalogue, but absolutely nothing was homemade. *The reason why we're especially pissed at the place was the "continental breakfast" included in the cost of the room. LOL! A couple Chobani yogurts, stale Aramark pastries, and not-even fresh hard boiled eggs that were so defrosted that they actually squirted water when you sliced into them. Disgusting. What a joke. Better just to serve coffee than what they had. How embarrassing for America's oldest "continuously-running" inn, a moniker that they are so proud to boast of. Listen, this place is adorable and the dining spaces are cozy and the staff (other than the bar) is extremely kind. Essex also couldn't be more cute and we definitely want to be back here again in the warmer months, but we would actually prefer to stay at a Courtyard Marriott and get the points because it would be far less money and--we can't believe we're saying this--better quality. Maybe we'd come back for the regular menu at the restaurant, but overall, it's three stars.
