    The atmosphere on the outside patio is exceptional!! It has a country club experience with a magnificent view! The food was delicious. Everything we ordered from the appetizer to the desert definitely didn't disappoint! The lunch menu could use more of a variety of items though. The cocktails weren't as good as we had hoped. No ice, no stir stick in the mixed drink. There is ample parking. Overall, I would rate this restaurant a 4/5 and I would recommend it to a friend!

    I frequently travel to the Akron area for business and I found this place through my work colleagues. This is the best place in the whole area and definitely worth the drive from Akron. The grounds are beautiful, the atmosphere is terrific and the food is ultra delicious. I make sure to have dinner here at least one time every trip that I make to Akron. I highly recommend the Twisted Olive to everyone.

    First time to the Twisted Olive as we’re just passing through after visiting the NFL Pro Football Hall of Fame. Chose the restaurant based on previous OT reviews. We tried one of their local wines from Gervasi Vineyards; selected a drier wine, overall good. For an appetizer the brussel sprouts were great. Our entrees - pork chop and walleye- were both excellent and well prepared. Portions were plenty large; we couldn’t finish either. Service was excellent and provided good recommendations. Overall, great evening dinner. The restaurant has ample parking and great wooded setting. Highly recommend this restaurant!

    Ate on the lower level patio- beautiful and quiet. Service was attentive but not pushy. Ordered the risotto stuffed peppers for an appetizer- the inside was lukewarm. The flavor was good though. I got the scallops and my husband ordered a create your own pizza. Both were delicious! Drinks were superb. Will be back!

    We love the Twisted Olive and decided to try the new fall menu. Oh My! The sage and apple stuffed pork chop with the sweet potato purée and maple glaze was simply divine. We also tried the beef torchio pasta. Very good, but the pork chop was absolutely amazing. For dessert, the pumpkin cheesecake is light and flavorful without being overly pumpkin forward. I’ve already told my friends to save a date because we are bringing a larger group to enjoy this fabulous fall menu.

    We were at the twisted olive tonight. A bus boy dropped a whole bus tub of dishes down the stairs. Every server and manager ran to make sure he was OK. Then, he helped him clean up the mess and assured him it was OK they were only dishes, and he was more important. Wow. I was amazed. No criticism, no shaming, no yelling, you have to pay for that. The manager told us mistakes happen don't take it out on your staff. Weird you encourage someone instead of degrading them. They stay and appreciate you... Lesson here take care of your staff they will take care of you. Bravo twisted olive👏👏👏

    Usually the food is fantastic but the steak was way under cooked, didn't send it back since it took so long. For the prices you should be able to cook a steak medium not rare.

    Food was great, but service was sub-par. Waited for one entree 15 minutes after others were served. Said pizza fell and had to make another. Should have comped the late pizza. Also server did not come back to pick up the payment. We had to take it inside so we could leave. Unfortunate, but hopefully an anomaly.

    The Twisted Olive is a "go to" for our special events to celebrate like birthdays and anniversaries. It is a gathering place for friends to get together and catch up. The food does not disappoint. I tried something new ffrom the menu and loved the puffed pastry meatloaf entre. Service was good and the wait person seems to enjoy his job.

    Food was good as usual. However the host at the front door was non inviting and our server was very slow bringing drinks or following up, and failed to make any eye contact. When asking about how things were he would walk away as we responded. Service over the last year or so has become very spotty and that is a disappointment. This restaurant is no longer on our list to dine at frequently.

    We took our family to twisted olive to celebrate my birthday. We ordered a variety of dishes and everyone was pleased with their choice. Some of the dishes included steak that was tender and juicy; macaroni and cheese that was delicious; walleye that was cooked to perfection; the puff pastry meatloaf with bar-b-que sauce was wonderful. The best part of our meal was our server who knew the menu and had a delightful personality. She was attentive but not overbearing. I wish I could remember her name. She has reddish brown hair that she wore in a pony tail and a bubbly personality . We were there for a 5 pm reservation on Tuesday, Sept 5th under the name of Wenger.

    What a great evening we had at the Twisted Olive. Arrived early for our reservation so we ordered a drink at the bar and sat outside on patio chairs overlooking the beautiful grounds. My margarita was perfect! Called on time to our table. We split a wedge salad…delicious and enough for 4 people!! I had the special halibut with beurre blanc sauce and fingerling potatoes with asparagus…out of this world!! My husband had the bbq meatloaf welllington and said it was the best meatloaf ever. The service was impeccable… Could not have been a better choice for dinner on a beautiful night!!

    Our service was not what we expected from the Twisted Olive. Our reservations were at 7:30 and we did not walk out of the restaurant until 10:03pm. It took so long to get service. Our friends were celebrating their 41st wedding anniversary and they did not get a free dessert or glass of champagne. However, we did get a dessert menu to choose a dessert at a cost. It had been 3 years since we were there and I'm not sure I will go back.

    We’ve dined here several times but last nights service was simply awful. Our server stopped by our table 15 minutes after we were sat. I could tell he was stressed from being only 1 of 2 servers assigned 10+ tables. Our server didn’t even ask if we wanted something to drink beyond water. We ordered 2 appetizers and never seen our server for another 35 minutes. Our waters needed refilled so my wife went to the bar for refills!! How embarrassing! 40 minutes after receiving our appetizers our server finally stopped by our table and apologized for the long delay. Then asked what we wanted for dinner (still not asking about our drinks or if we enjoyed the appetizers.). At this point I no longer wanted to continue with this terrible experience so we asked for the check. The server apologized again for being sat too many tables at once and said he understood why we wanted to leave. We spoke to the manager and he picked up our $10 appetizers and 2 glasses of water. It was the least they could do….we later went to a nearby Italian restaurant. Yes, it was a chain restaurant but the dining experience was 10 times better and cheaper!! Twisted olive…..Please “up your game” if you wish to retain your customers.
