As usual, outstanding experience. Each dish is very different from others, yet all are delicious. Service was also excellent. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants in town; especially fun to take visitors too.

About the restaurant

Von Bismarck is a modern family style restaurant inspired by the traditions off Eastern and Northern Europe with a focus on low intervention wine and traditional beer styles. Von Bismarck aims to focus the best of the old world through a modern lens and present it in an atmosphere of conviviality and generosity. We believe communal seating and family style presentation are conducive to this end. Sharing a meal, whether with those you love or complete strangers is essential to the human experience and all of us here at Von Bismarck hope to help you on that journey.

About the restaurant

At the Twisted Fork we take the traditional and give it a "twist". Eclectic dishes composed with unmatched creativity and flavor served in a casual setting. Fun and funky wines, beers and cocktails are the perfect complement to our Chef’s unique talents. Click on our website link to see the menu. We are a big place but we fill up fast, reserve today and we will save you a seat!

Notating a booth or patio seating for your reservation is a request and can not be guaranteed. We will do our absolute best to accommodate. Our seating of parties are solely based on availability.

Great food, nice outdoor seating, as well as indoor, awesome waitstaff, and free easy parking at the courthouse around the corner after 5pm weekdays - not sure about Saturdays or Sundays. Summertime music outside, a bit pricey but well worth it! Great for special occasions.
