| - Brand spankin' new! I believe it opened just days ago. I have never been to a restaurant so new, so I went for the new experience.
I will say up front that I have never been to a Turtle Jack's before, so I cannot make any comparisons. My friend lives very close to this location, so we stopped in for some martinis ($3.00 on Thursdays, what's up!).
So let's talk about the martinis. I tried them all, and to their credit they were pretty tasty, but at the same time they were not your proper cocktail bar effort. Having said that, they were made decently stiff and we stumbled out pretty happily. How many did I have? I think it was 6. I think.
As far as the food goes, we just wanted some finger food to share, so we ordered "bang bang shrimps", which were basically shrimps fried, then covered in chicken wings sauce. They were pretty meh. Not enough spice to their signature NY Butter Wing sauce, in my opinion.
So I am told that because this is a new location, the decor is much better than that of other Turtle Jacks. Again, I can't draw any comparisons, but I will say that to me it looks more like a cheaper version of Milestones. Staff were friendly, but they were going through some new restaurant teething pain (not knowing what is available on the menu, not juggling tables properly, etc).
Honestly, I am not a fan of most Canadian chain restaurants. This is one of those that I am not a fan of, and I don't see myself having a repeat visit (except for Thursdays, of course).
