    Our dining experience at River Twist was wonderful, as expected! Our server, Brandy, was attentive and a joy to talk to. Everything was prepared to perfection and delicious. The bread pudding was amazing as well!

    This was our first visit to River Twist and we were pleasantly surprised. We went with friends and all four of us thought what we ordered was delicious! The veal meatloaf was superior, the salmon delicious and healthy, the Mahi was outstanding and our biggest eater ordered two appetizers and a salad and couldn't finish them! Our two servers, Anthony and Brandy were friendly and efficient. We will definitely be back. The decor was a bit cold (and so was the temperature) but we all forgot the discomfort when the delicious food arrived. The staff quickly recognized our chilliness and brought shawls for those who wanted them.

    Where to begin.... We got the last reservation of the night and were very excited to finally try River Twist.The ambiance is great! Eclectic, fun, creative- lots to look at! The people could not be friendlier! Cara our server, Anthony, and Lorraine the owner were absolutely delightful and made this a lovely visit! Now, let's talk about the food... just YUM! The fried chicken livers were like taste bomb pillows! Cooked to perfection, tasty, lots of layers of flavor.... The lamb was amazing, perfectly done with a phenomenal sauce... and the tuna tataki was creatively presented with sesame soba noodles a slaw and a sauce that perfectly complemented the tuna - which basically melted in my mouth. For dessert, outstanding espresso and blueberry lemon crème brûlée. I mean.... I'm a bit of a crème brûlée aficionado, and this has to be one of the best I've ever had! Don't miss a chance to eat here. You won't be disappointed!
