    We took my husband here to celebrate Father’s Day. The ambience was beautiful. The server was attentive and courteous, and the appetizer came out quickly. We ordered the chili crab oysters and they were delicious! The drinks (Blueberry Lemon Crush/Old Fashioned) were great, too. Dinner took a hit. The table ordered the Cioppino, the Spicy Chicken sandwich, the ceviche, and the 1/2 Nashville fried chicken. The cioppino was lovely, but the fish and shrimp were overcooked. The lemon sauce on the ceviche was unbearable and the accompanying plantain chips were unseasoned. The absolute best thing on the menu was the Nashville fried chicken. It was tender, juicy and full of flavor. I will visit again just to order this dish!

    Twist was a nice space to meet and have a good Sunday, Father's Day meal. The menu was comprehensive, the service well-managed, and the food was of high quality. Probably not the best spot for those with young kids, as the space is very tight and the noise level very energetic. That said, the kids menu was better than most. For a city with not a great restaurant scene, I would love to see it grow, I would recommend Twist to anyone visiting Baltimore and will definitely go back. Don't go to Inner Harbor, Fells Point is much better!
