    The food was great as was the service! The interior of the restaurant was really cool. I went for a lunch date with a friend and it was perfect for catching up with one another! Highly recommend!

    Great food. Service was a little slow, but the place was packed on a Friday night, so I can’t dock them for that.

    3 of the 4 entrees were good. One was inedible and the waitress apologized, but did not replace or take off the bill. Told her again at end of meal, and she said "I told them". We were planning on having dessert, but none was offered. Been here before and was good, maybe just under- staffed on New Years Eve.

    After being greeted by a waiter at the door at 6:57, and we were told we needed a reservation or would have to wait an hour, when they *might* have some space. We duly went online to OpenTable--while still standing at the maitre d'hotel's desk--and booked a seat for 18 minutes later. My husband then turned to a new waiter who came to greet us at 7:01 and said, "We have a reservation, we're a bit early, can you seat us?" She said sure. We were seated right away. The first waiter glared at us all night long. Ambience was fine, but service was painfully slow (we had yet a third waiter who was incredibly nice, but forgot to place the order for our appetizer and brought out our mains at different times--so perhaps they were all in cahoots). The food was really nothing to write home about despite good reviews from others. The gouda mac and cheese was ok, the meatloaf was bland, the chicken special was basically freezer case food warmed up, and the sandwiches were deli fare. I will give a shout out to the roasted zucchini and summer squash (although too oniony for me, the zucchini itself was perfect), and to the pear tart for dessert. That was VERY good and was graciously prepared for us to go by that one lovely waiter. In sum? An all around 2/5: unless you are someone who basically goes out to eat what you could have at home on a non-creative night, give Twisted Fork a pass, especially if you have even the slightest possibility of offending the wait staff by showing up without a reservation or don't want to spend 40 minutes waiting for your food.

    We were taking family members to the airport on Christmas Eve day. Didn't want to put them on the plane without lunch so we stopped in at the Twisted Fork in the old market. Did not know prior that they closed at 2pm that day - we got there at 1:15 - but they did an excellent job for us despite the timing.
