I just stopped in by chance tonight for the first time since Turquoise opened. Previously, I'd looked at the menu on passing and thought the dishes being described looked very interesting. And I have to say, I have worked as a chef in countries all over the world, and I cannot find anything negative to say. Service was excellent and the food was absolutely delicious. Thank you

For those of you who have not yet discovered Torquoise the new Turkish restaurant in Stratford, I have to say that you need to go there and try the amazing food! I have been there 3 times in the past week, and as an ex-chef who had worked all over the world, owned restaurants in Sweden and Denmark, and very hard to please, that says a lot. Before discovering this amazing food Oasis, I would only recommend three restaurants in Stratford, but this one is now TOP of my list! The food is colourful, vibrant and full of flavour. Not to be missed! And Denise, thank you for the excellent service x

And honestly, there are a couple of reviews that I would totally iignore. If you want fast food and fast service, then you should stick to Macdonald's where your opinion is best served. We all work hard, so go here with a positive attitude and enjoy the ride because it's...

On a positive the food was pretty good, we had starters and mains which we both enjoyed, but that's the only good thing I can say about this restaurant. We had booked a table, turned up slightly early and it wasn't busy, so why did it feel like they couldn't wait to get rid of us!! As we ate both courses, one guy just loitered around, looking over for when we'd finished. I'd just put the last forkful of my main in my mouth, when he swept our plates away. We were never asked if we wanted another drink or dessert, and we always usually have dessert and coffee, so they missed out on that. Maybe we looked like we weren't worthy of good service or any kind of attention as I did see one of the ladies ask other tables if everything was OK, maybe they thought we were tourists and wouldn't be back. Well whatever the reason we won't be going back even though we do live quite local, and with all the other options in Stratford-Upon-Avon, I would suggest other people don't...
