The Painted Turtle
3.8 / 5 (3628 reviews)

Description

The Painted Turtle offers a beautiful lakeside setting with stunning views, but the high prices may not match the dining experience. Some reviewers found the food to be average and overpriced, with slow service at times. Gluten-free options are available, and the staff are accommodating. While the location by Dutch Lake is a highlight, there are mixed reviews on the food quality and service. Overall, it seems like a good spot for lunch or breakfast with lovely views, but may fall short of expectations for a special dinner experience.

I write in the restaurant before booking. Their suggested response to celiacs to avoid: Good Morning Catherine; We are not confident there would not be cross contamination. Thanks, Jon Chris Kreke

The staff was very helpful and accommodating, and they even had gluten-free bread available. The restaurant had a beautiful view of the lake and is definitely a hidden gem.

Enjoy dinner in a beautiful setting. The service goes out of their way to accommodate your gluten-free needs and the food tastes amazing. I had the Baby Back Ribs. While the sauce wasn't gluten-free, they provided alternative options. However, to be honest, the ribs were so delicious that they didn't even need sauce.

My family and I really enjoyed our experience here! We came for dinner and for breakfast the next day. The food was excellent (we highly recommend the Lemon Cake—it is exquisite! . We were thrilled to see turtles from the patio and the staff went over and above for us. ??
