Twisted Vine Bistro

This place was recommended by a friend.  I had the scallops and the beet  salad appetizer. Both were delicious as was the red snapper that my girlfriend had.  Service was efficient and friendly.  Nice decor.

My only complaint was that it was a little loud for conversation,but the food was so delicious and i will definitely go back and recommend.

We had a reservation on valentines day which was difficult anywhere but they got us in with no problems. The setting of the restaurant is fairly classy. The wait staff on the other hand was a little sketchy, a scraggly long haired trashier kid rock took our order and during the meal we had to physically flag him down for more wine. The food was decent I ordered the lamb, it was cooked perfectly and very tender however the portions left much to be desired. The wine selection is extensive as well as the bar, although slightly over priced. Overall if your looking to really impress a date this place could do the trick, but there are several other local spots with great quality food and drink that are more resonabley priced. Dinner for 2 and 2 glasses of wine: $150.00. + tip of course.

I will rarely turn down a free glass of wine, especially when the menu is as alluring as Twisted's. If you check in on Facebook, Twitter, or Yelp at TVB, just ask and you will receive. Everything on and off the menu was mouthwatering, and so I decided to take the tapas/small plates route. My stomach would only, and unfortunately, allow two of them.

So, I indulged in Tuna Tartare and the Duck Confit over Fried Green Tomatoes. The Tuna was prepared with capers, lemon aioli, and red onion. It was topped with homemade potato crisps. Absolutely delicious. My favorite, however, was the duck. It is, in fact, cooked in its own fat. Presentation was lovely and it was very filling for being a small plate.

I could not turn down dessert, and the bread pudding came highly recommended. It came ala mode and was fantastic. A little Keoke coffee (Brandy, Godiva, and Kahlua) finished off my night.

I won't lie, my stomach was so pissed off after this meal. Not sure if it was the combination (tuna + duck + pudding + brandy)...BUT it was well worth it.
