"I’ve always enjoyed the food but tonight even good food couldn’t make up for the service. My husband and I brought really good friends from out of state here because it was close by and I shamelessly love Greene Turtle’s crab dip. Our waitress waspretty horrible. If it had been busy, I totally would have understood, but counting us there were only 4 parties in the wholerestaurant (aside from the bar patrons). To start one member of our party had ordered a particular beer but was brought adifferent one. We ignored this because he was still satisfied with his beer and chalked it up to her not hearing correctly. Wewaited 30 minutes or so for our appetizers. And then probably another 30 minutes for our entrees after that, which all came outincorrect to some degree. Some minor things, tomato when it was asked to be removed, blue cheese when ranch was asked, but thekicker was getting a crab quesadilla when we ordered crab cakes without slaw. Between all of the waiting our server hadn’tcome back to check in on us. She assured us that crab cakes were taken off the bill. When she came back with the bill I didn’thave a chance to look over before she took my payment, aside from the total of $106. When she came back with the signature slip,the total was now $118 and change. But there was no itemized copy of the bill anymore. She also hovered over my shoulder while Iwas signing and leaving the tip making me pretty uncomfortable and pressured to leave a more generous tip than originallyplanned. I enjoy their food so much, however I’m not sure when or if I’ll be returning to this location."

"We went to the Green Turtle last night. The food was delicious. We ordered a Cesar salad and a Chicken Cesar wrap. For appetizers we tried the boneless wings and pretzels with the flat tire beer cheese. The salad and wrap tasted great. The pretzels were warm and the cheese was delicious. I wish they?d fill the cheese container a little more. The wings were ok. The Garlic Parmesan wings didn?t really taste like Garlic or Parmesan. The BBQ wings tasted ok, but the wing meat was a little dry. When we first arrived we were greeted promptly, seated and given menus. After that we waited 20+ mins no wait staff acknowledged us, or came to take our drink order. We flagged down a waitress and she took our order. After that the service improved slightly. I expect they are short staffed so I don?t want to rate too harshly. Normally I?d say it was a 2 3. I rated it a 4 because we did enjoy the food when we received it. In a bar setting it?s important to make sure you check in with your tables and keep people?s drinks filled, especially when ordering alcohol. Lack of attentiveness frustrates patrons and impacts a restaurants bottom line. There wasn?t a lot of people in the restaurant so it looked like a lack of hustle or wait staff was distracted. We saw other tables wave to try and get multiple waitresses attention as well. We saw the same type of service when trying a Green Turtle in Delaware pre COVID 19, so I?m not sure if it is a training issue or lack of managers present."
