I love the unique names that people come up with for their products and restaurants! Well, most of the names are pretty awesome... Some are a little strange, but hey, to each their own right!?
I was a little leery about trying out the Twisted Fork because of the reviews that I had read online. I do research sometimes before venturing out and trying new places and this time it had worked negatively in me trying out the Twisted Fork. The reviews had been rating this restaurant as just "okay" and no one seemed too thrilled about the restaurant. But I decided to give it the go and head to the Twisted Fork!
I have to say, the atmosphere of the restaurant and the decor is awesome. I love the quirky things about places and the interesting details. Even if each of the items in the restaurant did not quite "go together," it created a good atmosphere with a lot of flavor!
I went on a Saturday for lunch so it was not too busy. But there was a nice steady flow of customers. The staff was extremely nice and very informative about the dishes that they were serving! I love it when the staff knows what is going into their dishes; it makes them seem more "put together."
So after some contemplation and advice from the waitress, I decided on some blackened salmon tacos with black beans and rice on the side (gotta keep that Mexican flavor alive people).The wait time for the food was average and when I received the food I was more than pleased!
The dish was very delicious! My guest diner ordered the Smoke Gouda Mac 'N Cheese and loved it as well! So both dishes were good, which was a little surprising to me considering the reviews I had read. Lesson learned: don't always follow the reviews!!
I will say that I can imagine that on a Friday or Saturday night this restaurant could be packed with people; Because of this I would not recommend bringing children.
The only other thing that I was a little taken back by was the cost of the food. It was a bit expensive for the meal plus a drink (about $16 + a tip). For this much money, I would have maybe expected a complementary appetizer or something of that nature. But then again, it is located downtown where people go specifically to hang out and spend money... so they are probably in a winning situation!
Overall, I would recommend this restaurant for you to try! The menu is not too large, but they do have some unique dishes listed that would be fun to go back and try if you have the funds to do so!
Here is the link to their restaurant and their location if you would like to try them out! Good luck!
