| - Viva la brussel sprouts! Do yourself a favor and get them. Perfectly charred and fantastic. Even the presentation was the best I've seen yet for brussel sprouts! Our waitress said they are the number 2 selling item on the menu, the number one being the grouper sandwich.
Everyone in our group this evening loved their meal! We all had those "oh my gosh this is good!" moments. Even our friend from Italy gave two thumbs up on her Wild Mushroom Pappardelle, which is a big deal coming from her. She said order it as is, do not add meat, as the flavors were perfect and balanced! She then lamented that Italians don't put chicken, shrimp, etc on their pasta the way Americans do!
My husband really enjoyed his grouper sandwich. Our friend loved his Gnocchi & Short ribs, but he wished the dish had a larger portion. To be fair, he was warned by our waitress ahead of time about the portion size. My salmon and spaghetti squash was excellent. My piece of fish was really fresh, large, and well prepared. Our side of cauliflower grits were delicious as well and worth getting.
Twisted Root, Twisted Grove, I don't care what they end up calling it... we will all be back! We also all decided that we preferred this over Grassroots. I would give it 4.5 stars if I could. For me, I have to crave and day dream about going to a particular restaurant to make it 5 stars.
Side note: The owner was the only person smart enough to convince the landlord to construct a wall in the restaurant reducing the enormous square footage by 50%. I believe that's part of the reason why all other restaurants failed in this space, way too massive of a footprint which caused them to always look empty!
