Tortugas Florida Kitchen & Bar

Tortugas has lots of outdoor seating to social distance feel the sea breeze on your face and also get a nice view of the ocean.

“So are you excited about opening up indoor dining?” I asked my bartender who was busy managing the outdoor patio solo.

“Absolutely we’re gearing up for it. We’re looking forward to welcoming patrons inside,” said Elisha, wearing a high ponytail with a weathered beach ballcap.

If you’re in the mood for seafood, Tortugas is the spot. A couple seating in the next table, at least six feet away were enjoying their mahi mahi – the fresh catch of the day with fish tacos and calamari.

Enjoyed the firecracker shrimp tacos – big chunks of blackened meat with crunchy cabbage and fresh pico de gallo from Tortugas

Vintage motorbikes roared by in front of us – the sound of summer. The police were still busy keeping folks from walking on the boardwalk but that restriction would be lifted next week.

It was nice ordering my food here and it was peaceful spending the night across the street.
