Velvet Turtle

Velvet Turtle was a chain of fine-dining restaurants founded by Wally Botello based in Menlo Park, California, that at its height had 20 locations in California, plus a location in Washington state, and Arizona.[1]

History

In 1986, Marriott Corp. sold the chain to a private investor group.[2] The semi-formal restaurant chain closed down in the early 1990s when the popularity of casual dining was on the rise.[3]
