We really had a nice dinner at Twisted Tavern. The food was wonderful, the atmosphere pleasant, and the staff very attentive. Sunday night was “Sinatra” night so they had some Italian specials and played Sinatra music. I love the names of the dishes, based on South Jersey and Philly people. We met the GM of the Golf Course, Morgan. She was very informative and really seems to love her job and the owners. We will defiantly be coming back!

About the restaurant

Old world charm meets new world hospitality in this lovely lakeside landmark. A longtime locals favorite serving award winning classic continental cuisine with a modern flair. The restaurant, resurrected from an uncertain future in 1997 by the combined efforts of the Coppola & Bushar families, has since reclaimed its spot among the favorite dining locations in the Atlantic City area.
