Turtle Bay Colchester — Restaurant in Colchester

Edit: As a wise man once said “Amateurs sit and wait for inspiration, the rest of us just get up and go to work” Many people think they want things, but they don't really have the strength, the discipline. They are weak. I believe that you get what you want if you want it badly enough. Morgan really made the afternoon with a complimentary shot after a above standard performance on the table floor

Came here with my partner in crime, 2 hour bottomless brunch. I’ll start with it was a Wednesday at 12 pm. In order of rating, starting with food, food was good but simply just good. For my self the stack shack burger really missed the spot but it certainly filled me up but it missed the spot. Now service… what to say about the service… Morgan was a top quality waitress, her steady patrol over the table floor, never failed to miss an empty glass or the reinforcements of needed beverages, she really set the bar high and should be something for all other waiters and waitresses to aspire to be like. Atmosphere, as you can imagine on a Wednesday was rather quite which for me personally a good thing but music is a big thing for me and in that department was lacking. If you can see off more than 16 drinks, you are a better man than me. Good luck to...

I love Caribbean food! I have plenty of Caribbean restaurants saved on my phone and head to the nearest one when I can to grab some Caribbean love for the taste buds.

They all vary on the menu such as some don't do pork and others do but use chops instead of ribs etc etc.

This place is what you'd get if you let McDonalds and a Caribbean restaurant have a love child. It's very commercialised, but, they haven't done bad. I think this will bring this type of cuisine to the mass much like when mexican food became mainstream and now you see mexican restaurants everywhere.

Cocktails!! They have happy hour and EVERYONE I know who's been in within one of these happy hours has fallen out the door (in a good way).

The only thing I wasn't to happy about was when we sat down to eat a homeless person came to our table and asked for change. Normally I'm alright with chucking them a few quid but I was so shocked that not only was he in a restaurant he was begging at the tables whilst we were eating our food. I don't mean to sound snobbish but I've never seen that or heard of anything like that. The staff moved him on quickly enough but still.

In short had a good time and got plastered. Food was ok too but a little toned...

Friday Night without a reservation, less than an hour for getting a table for 10. The service was great! I broke my glass of mocktail while holding it and was given a replacement. For me there mocktails were like mixing cordials as concentrate, tad too sweet, I gave mine away after drinking half of it. I wasn't so hungry so ordered a bunch of sides including rice n beans, avacado fries, chickpea curry and fried plantain. The rice works well by itself and with the curry, plantain absorbed all the oil, and for me made it horrible to eat, the avacado had a crispy coating, had a slight fishy aftertaste. Men's toilets didn't seem like it was looked after, had a dominant urine smell. The atmosphere, look and feel is great and ambient lighting makes for a chilled environment. Overall I would say it's a good experience to try but I don't see myself visiting anytime soon

*We tried the vegan options but the meat options were better than the vegan/vegiterian options. We were also made aware of the 2-4-1 cocktails as soon as it was 10pm by the...
