    The Caesar salad left a little bit to be desired. Not quite enough dressing and the croutons were just so so. The chicken wings were delicious.

    We always enjoy the food and service. I had the Halibut special and it was excellent. I enjoyed the pairing with the raviolis and corn. The dish was creative and flavorful. The servers have excellent timing and I appreciate how they follow up to see we are doing. Cleanup was efficient. The staff is well organized and energized.

    Went out for lunch to celebrate our son’s graduation, and the experience exceeded our expectations. The menu is far from ordinary — many of the dishes are creative, unique, and, most importantly, absolutely delicious. Our server was outstanding: attentive, knowledgeable, and very helpful in explaining the menu. We had a few picky eaters in our group, and even they were impressed. I would definitely recommend this place.

FAQs

Portions at The Twisted Fork are generally generous. Many guests mention large, plentiful servings, several entrees were called "enough for two" and diners often take leftovers home. Appetizers and small plates are also substantial, and guests often highlight value (soup/salad and bread included with dinner entrees). If you prefer lighter portions, consider sharing a dish or ordering a starter and salad.

The Twisted Fork keeps regular hours for brunch, lunch and dinner: • Sunday breakfast/brunch: 9:00 AM–3:00 PM • Monday–Saturday lunch: 11:00 AM–4:30 PM • Monday–Saturday dinner: 5:00 PM–9:00 PM If you're visiting on a holiday or for a special event, call ahead, guests report holiday service for events like New Year’s Eve and Mother’s Day, but hours or specials may vary.

Yes, The Twisted Fork is a popular choice for date night. Guests frequently praise the attentive service, creative contemporary-American dishes, and cozy patio seating that pairs well with craft cocktails or wine. The restaurant’s warm, casual-dining vibe makes it comfortable for a special evening without being overly formal. Note: some guests said the dining room can get noisy on busy nights, so ask for a quieter booth or patio when you reserve if you prefer a more intimate table.

Yes, guests describe The Twisted Fork as family-friendly and accommodating. Several families and groups celebrate birthdays or brunch there; one guest noted a generous kids menu and another confirmed staff provided a wheelchair-accessible table when requested. If you need a specific seating arrangement for accessibility or family needs, mention it when you reserve so the team can do their best to accommodate.

Best times depend on your goal: • For a relaxed, quieter visit: weekday lunch or early Sunday brunch (guests report Sunday brunch is pleasant and not busy). • For lively atmosphere and happy hour deals: early evening happy hour or weekend nights (popular and busier). Reservations are recommended, many guests note the place fills up quickly, especially on weekends and holidays.

Casual yet creative and welcoming. Guests frequently describe the Twisted Fork as cozy, friendly, and upscale-casual with warm lighting and comfortable booths. The patio is repeatedly praised for pleasant outdoor dining. A few guests noted the interior can feel more like a bar-and-grill or become noisy at busy times, still, many call it a great spot for date nights, family meals, and celebrations thanks to consistent food and attentive service.

Yes, you can note special requests when you make a reservation. Guests commonly ask for booth or patio seating, early arrival for party setup, or accommodations for accessibility. The restaurant’s reservation notes clarify that seating requests (booth or patio) are requests only and can’t be guaranteed, so call ahead if you have important needs or are planning a celebration.

Casual dress is appropriate. The owner description lists the dining style as casual dining, and guests regularly dine in comfortable, everyday attire while enjoying thoughtfully prepared dishes, so you’ll fit right in whether you’re coming for brunch, lunch, or a relaxed date night.

For brunch lovers, Sunday is a standout, guests repeatedly praise the Sunday brunch (9 AM–3 PM) for excellent food and a relaxed pace. If you want a quieter weekday experience, try lunch on a weekday. For a lively evening or happy hour, Friday or Saturday nights are popular but busier, reservations advised.

Yes, The Twisted Fork hosts private parties and group celebrations. The owner info notes they allow private parties, and guests describe successful birthday gatherings and larger group events (parties of 8+), with staff accommodating early setup and decorations when possible. Call ahead to discuss space, menu options, and setup details.

Yes, families dine here often. Guests report taking children for brunch and family dinners, celebrating birthdays, and noting a generous kids menu on certain visits. The relaxed, casual atmosphere and accommodating staff make it a comfortable choice for families; consider earlier seatings or a quieter booth if you want a calmer experience with young children.

Busiest: weekend evenings and holidays, many guests report the restaurant fills up for Friday/Saturday nights and special occasions (Mother’s Day, New Year’s Eve). Quietest: weekday lunches and early Sunday brunch tend to be calmer. Because weekends and holidays can be busy, make a reservation to secure your preferred time or seating.

Yes, outdoor patio seating is a highlight. Many guests praise the patio as a lovely spot for brunch, happy hour, and summer dining, and the owner notes patio requests can be made on reservations (though not guaranteed). If outdoor seating is important, request it when you book and arrive early during busy periods.

Often yes, but hours and offerings can vary, guests report dining at The Twisted Fork on holidays such as New Year’s Eve and Mother’s Day with special menus or hours. Because holiday schedules can change, call ahead or check the restaurant’s website before planning a holiday visit.
