Yes, many guests report bringing dogs to the patio and staff typically provide a water bowl and a welcoming attitude. If you plan to bring a pet, choose outdoor patio seating and call ahead during busy periods to confirm availability.

For a relaxed visit, aim for weekday lunches or early dinners when the restaurant is quieter. Happy hour (late afternoon/early evening) is a popular sweet spot for value and a lively but not overcrowded vibe. Avoid peak weekend dinner service and major holidays if you prefer a quieter table, weekends, holiday events and Christmas Ships nights are busier and louder.

Twigs is open most days with extended weekend hours: Mon–Thu 11:00 am–10:00 pm; Fri 11:00 am–11:00 pm; Sat 10:30 am–11:00 pm; Sun 10:30 am–10:00 pm. Brunch service is available on weekend mornings, and special holiday brunches (Easter, Mother’s Day, Breakfast with Santa) have been held.

Twigs has a warm, waterfront bistro vibe, casual but polished. Guests love the river views, cozy lighting and lively bar scene.

Busiest: weekend evenings, holiday events (Christmas Ships, Mother’s Day, Easter) and Saturday brunch/dinner, expect a lively, sometimes noisy room.

Portions vary by dish but are generally generous for mains, though a few guests reported smaller portions on certain items. Many guests praised hearty entrées (salmon, ribeye, brisket dishes) and large sandwiches/pizzas, while occasional comments note smaller fish portions or pricey salad add-ons. Expect pub-style American portions at a mid–higher price point, consider ordering an appetizer to share or checking happy hour for better value.
