Wine Bar · Turtle Bay · 34 tips and reviews
Georgia R: Fantastic staff, wonderful Malbec, orgasmic panini. Best wine bar in midtown!
Harry: Nice, cozy little wine bar. Decent selection of wines and finger food. Conveniently located. However, the music does not suit the place and decor imho
Sexy LF: Nice selection of wines by the glass and a great, classy after-work scene. This isn't your popcorn and peanuts on the counter crowd.
Mandar M: This place has the best music selection of all the Spanish restaurants I have been to ... Amazing flamenco guitar, classic violin etc feels like you have been transported to Spain
Serious Eats: Good paella made to order that holds up well for takeout.
Valentina Monte: Yumminess by way of sangria and scallops and the pork belly (and a very attractive, flirtatious Spaniard named Carlo).

Steakhouse · Turtle Bay · 35 tips and reviews
Charlie: I was put off by my first waiter's attitude and unfamiliarity with wine! On a second visit, I really enjoyed the experience! The porterhouse for two is huge! And the Canadian bacon is delicious!
Hinter: Top3 best steaks i've ever had. Glass wine not so good
David Kearns: The Surf and Turf was pretty good. The sides are bland, the seating is uncomfortable, and the service leaves something to be desired. The prices are a bit extreme. Basically $40 a plate and up.
