W
e currently feature only one dinner a week on our terrace for guests and their friends, with reservations required at least 48 hours in advance. Subject to a minimum number of guests booking, the dinner is served on Thursday evening at 7:00pm and we suggest reserving as early as possible -- whether your staying at the Inn or not -- to avoid disappointment.

There's music and a newly expanded wine and drink list available -- at better prices than any hotel or restaurant on the island. Should there be insufficient interest in a particular dinner, we'll post the cancellation on the lobby bulletin board by noon the day before.

"We also regret our not having eaten at the Inn--we actually meant to save dinner at the Inn for our last evening but neglected to reserve ahead of time. The menu sounded delicious and the prices extremely reasonable." (L.D., Vacaville, California)
"The dinner smelled delicious -- can't wait to return."
(M.J.&D.J., Huntington Beach, California)

Should your future stay at Turtle Nest Inn include a Thursday evening, e-mail us your reservation now, including the number of people in your party. Please join us at these laid-back, but not-to-be-missed evenings of fun, uniquely delicious food and a chance to meet the other guests. This culinary adventure is an indispensable part of the Turtle Nest Inn experience. Bon appetit!
