As we re-open, we want you to know that we take your safety, and the safety of our employees, very seriously. We are following the Critical COVID-19 Guidance Standards developed by the Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association in partnership with the National Restaurant Association and the American Hotel and Lodging Association, as well as our governor's guidelines for re-opening restaurants.  Some of the safety procedures will be visible to you when you visit our restaurant, and some are only visible behind the scenes. Here are some of the new safety measures we are putting into place at the Turtle Club:

Cleaning and Sanitizing

• Since we have been closed, we have thoroughly cleaned the kitchen, dining room and outside dining areas.

• A dedicated staff member will have the job of sanitizing all surfaces including tables & chairs after each use, door handles, restrooms, etc.

• All menus will be cleaned and sanitized after each use. (This has always been our practice, and it will continue as we re-open).

• Restrooms will be checked, cleaned and sanitized regularly.

Employee Health and Personal Hygiene

 

• Employees with direct customer access will be required to wear face masks.

• Sick employees will remain home, as is required under existing FDA Food Code requirements.

• Staff constantly will be reminded of the importance of increased hand washing, and hand sanitizer will be placed    throughout the work areas.

Social Distancing

• Seating capacity in the restaurant will be reduced, both inside and outdoors. Some tables have been removed to      allow for proper distancing.

• Outdoor seating will be limited to diners only. Our benches normally used for sunset viewing have been removed for now.
