We had a wonderful experience at Turtle Bay Durham on 20th August. The menu was extensive, with plenty of choice and something to suit everyone.... A special mention to Holly, our waitress, who was friendly, natural and attentive throughout. She gave us plenty of time to choose our food without making us feel rushed and checked in with us regularly to make sure everything was okay. Great food, lovely service and a really enjoyable experience overall. Well definitely be happy to return!
