We just wanted to take a moment to extend our heartfelt gratitude for hosting such a fantastic night for us recently. It was an absolute blast! From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, everything was perfect. The atmosphere, the service, and, of course, the company made for an unforgettable evening. Our out-of-town guests couldn't stop raving about the venue—you truly made a great impression! We want to give a special shoutout to our bartender and the duty manager. Their warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail really stood out and contributed to the overall success of the night. Once again, thank you so much for everything. We're already looking forward to our next visit to Fantail & Turtle!

Great place! Food was good, drinks selection was superior. And it was such a buzz to see staff really enjoying themselves whilst providing excellent service. Fastest production of an espresso martini ever!!

Attended a party in the Glasshouse. A fab venue for a small group, good vibe, superb food, service was excellent. Great for a casual get-together.

My Fiancé and I had our engagement party at Fantail & Turtle this weekend, and I could not recommend this venue enough. The staff were absolutely amazing on the night, particularly Izzy and Grace, who went out of there way to check in with my fiancė and me throughout the night, and they provided the BEST customer service and were just so friendly. Izzy made organising the event easy; it ran so smoothly and stress-free. The food was delicious, and the drinks were even better. I highly recommend the espresso martini!! I would recommend this venue to anyone considering hiring it for any occasion.
