  • I stopped by here two nights ago for my birthday dinner with my wife. The Twisted Frenchman was my choice because I had been eyeing up their tasting menu for awhile but at $90/person it seemed like too much of a splurge for a normal evening out. I made the reservations through the Yelp app a couple of days ahead of time and had no problem getting the 7 PM time that I desired. My wife and I ended up arriving at the restaurant about 10 minutes before our reservation which wasn't a problem as we were immediately seated at a table along the wall which was fairly private. The inside of the Twisted Frenchman is actually decorated quite nicely in a simple manner with grey tablecloths and napkins and a large decoration in the center of the ceiling consisting of a bunch of cylinders of glass that were in different colors and sizes. After being greeted by our server and having water served to us, I asked about the tasting menu and then noted that I had allergies to chocolate and red wine. Our server didn't seem to think that was going to be a problem and so we both ordered the tasting menu. A couple of minutes later our server came back out to ask me if it was ok if the chef cooked some of my food in red wine since it will cook off. I explained to him that it wasn't and he went back into the kitchen and I knew it wasn't good whenever he came back with the regular menus. He explained to me that the chef couldn't cook enough dishes without red wine and so we would have to order from the a la carte menu. What kind of chef is unwilling to accommodate someone's food allergies? I have never had a problem with this before and at most chef's tastings they have actually asked me if I had any allergies so that they would not make something that i can't eat. Apparently this chef just didn't feel like making an effort that night. The server proceeded to then point out three appetizers and two entrees that I could actually eat and noted that I could also have the steak and lamb entrees but without the demi glace. Interestingly neither of those items even mentioned a demi glace on the menu. Since at that point the menu was so confined for me, my wife and I left the restaurant and used the $200+ we were planning on spending at the Twisted Frenchman to have a nice dinner elsewhere. The bottom line for me is that I will never come back here again in the future and would advise others to avoid it as well. What kind of a chef can't make dishes whenever they are handicapped by a single ingredient?
