   Pork chops were really good. Short rib ravioli and fried chicken both lacked seasoning and salt. Too bland. Pineapple margarita was a great drink but 15 dollars is a steep price.

   Great atmosphere; did the tasting menu which has a value that’s really hard to beat. The only minor suggestion would be larger tables since the tasting menu comes with many plates and there was barely enough room for them.

   I think our waiter was Chance. He was amazing and all of his recommendations on point. Wings delicious as were the mussels and fried chicken. The whiskey list is so lengthy and the bartender (don’t remember her name) was very knowledgeable. Blues band was great but a tad too loud for us.

   This place is one of our favorite date night dinner and cocktail spot. The cheese boards are top notch and every course that follows is as good as the last. Cocktails are in point as well and the staff is extremely knowledgeable on their menu. Definitely check them out.

   enjoyed the food, the waitress was not very aware of the menu. there was live music upstairs and the AC on a hot day was great to enjoy a dinner with friends.

   First time dining at Twisted Tail, had a really great experience we did the family style menu $45.00 pp, - we could choose 3 appetizer style tapas - chorizo taco, short rib ravioli, peach salad followed by 2 entrees mussels delicious and hanger steak. Then we had a choice of one desert choose a lemon tart light and refreshing. Drinks were also great. Great modern interior and upstairs had a great blues band playing, Billy the kid and the regulators. Would def revisit great experience😊

   The food and service were amazing. We decided on the tasting menu, which was a great way to try a lot of items at a slightly reduced price. Everything was delicious, but that beet salad is still on my mind! And the red velvet lava cake is a must try if you have a sweet tooth! Would definitely go back!

    Good for something different from higher end restaurants. Quirky. Live music nice but noise level high making talking a bit difficult. Great wait staff. Reasonable prices. Desserts fantastic. Fried chicken a bit over cooked. Lamb lollipops and hangar steak delicious. Octopus great flavor but also overcooked. Difficult to cut and a bit too chewy. Nice outside area for pleasant weather. Would return for a casual evening but sit outside so not as noisy but still able to hear music. Cocktails different and enjoyed. Wine by the glass okay; nothing outstanding.

    Twisted Tail continues to be the best place for small bites and whisky. We had the burrata, tuna, ribs, and wings. Everything was excellent. The owner, recommended a rye I had never heard of, and it was a good choice. I will definitely be coming back here again and again.

    Wine and appetizer (burrata) were fine. One meal was ok (skirt steak) but second entree- short rib was not. A large hunk of meat- well-cooked, but basically naked on the plate. The sweet potato purée was a single squiggle of potato drowned in the sauce and the bit of horseradish gremolata had never even gotten near a horseradish for flavor. The requested meat in a take-home container was simply that-the chunk of meat and no sauce whatsoever.

    Went for Easter brunch. The waiter was okay, maybe new or too busy to be interested with our table needs. Four out of the six orders were not made correctly and had to be sent back. Three of them were not completely cooked when they came out again. We were comped one of the meals. So overall it was fine but I wouldn't go back there for a holiday.

    I aways wanted to try this restaurant and finally did with great disappointment. Service was slow even though the place was almost empty. My fired chicken was good and it came with a fired sweat potato but my 3 companions had very disappointing meals. Two ordered the short ribs and it came with nothing else. My husband's pork chop came with a small amount of spaetzel. Prices were high for what we got.
