A history that dates back to 1986

Turtles Restaurant on Little Sarasota Bay has established itself as a high-quality waterfront restaurant over the past two decades. Plenty of local regulars as well as travelers to Siesta Key appreciate its amazing location, fresh seafood, and reputation for great service. Current general manager Alex Ortega worked his way up in the restaurant, starting off as a dishwasher at the age of 15. His three brothers work in the kitchen as well, and they are major contributors to the excellent service and cuisine that the restaurant is known for.

Great seafood and waterfront dining without the high price
