Slow
Fresh Food
Your
destination for food prepared from
locally
available seasonal ingredients. Slow Food is
also
simply about taking the time to slow down and
to
enjoy life with family and friends.
We
at The Turtle try to provide a place to relax and enjoy
the conversation of your family and friends while
celebrating the diversity of the earth’s bounty.
We
feel that the enjoyment of good food and
conversation
is essential for happiness. We are
dedicated to the
revival of the kitchen and the table as centers of
pleasure, culture, and community. We
advocate the
return to conversation centered leisurely meals. We think
a firm defense of quiet material pleasure
is the only
way to oppose the universal folly of
Fast Life.
Our
menu changes with the seasons in order to provide you
with the freshest possible produce and a variety of taste
experiences. We are making every
effort to support
local growers and encourage our customers to direct us to
new sources.
