| - Last night was my 4th time at Twisted Grove, A couple of times, I would have to rate as a 5 star experience, and the other two times, not so high, averaging out to a 3 star restaurant.
The good; Almost every menu choice has been really good, if not excellent. Caprese flat bread and garlic fries were awesome.
The bad: Totally can be fixed, but the blackened swordfish was overcooked, making it dry, and was seriously light on the blackening seasoning.
The ugly: Last night I ordered the crispy fish sandwich, for the 2nd time, and thought it was really pretty good. Both times I requested to have the cole slaw on the side, and both times it was served on the side. Last night I requested to also have my sandwich cut in half, same as last time. Here comes the ugly. The food was served, and my sandwich was a whole and not two halves. My server informed me that they no longer cut sandwiches in half. I was taken aback. I asked to talk to the manager. He came over, and made it clear, that without exception,
"NO WE WON"T CUT YOUR SANDWICH IN HALF"
C'mon now. Really? And the reason given was that it is a time issue. Saturday night at 7:30, with 50% of the restaurant empty seems like the manager would do anything to foster repeat business.
The bottom line - The restaurant graveyard is not too far away. It has already claimed Zen 32, Stella, and the Central Bistro. All in the same exact spot as Twisted Grove.
I will still go back, but only at someone else's request. For me, I'll pick a place with valet, or readily available parking, and a kitchen that will make the time to spend 4 seconds on cutting my sandwich in half!
