| - Came here just a few days ago after hearing a million and one things about their brussel sprouts. This would actually be my second time trying Twisted Grove, as the first time was when they sent us food complimentary for us to try it out on the day of their grand opening! I'll start with the things I tried that day:
Sausage Onion Flatbread: When I tried this, it was actually a little cold but I still loved it so much! It still had the creaminess from the whole milk mozzarella; the sausage added the perfect hint of spice to this creamy savory treat and the onion added a nice crunch!
Arcadia Club (I think): OMG I don't even know what it was about this sandwich but my mouth waters just thinking about it. Maybe it was the quality of the meat used? I took a bite into this sandwich and all of the cold fresh ingredients melted in my mouth- such amazing fresh flavor. I am actually guessing that what I had was the Arcadia Club, it's the only thing on the menu that was similar, I just don't remember any tomato in there- it's likely that I got the slice without tomato.
Second time around, I came back to try the oysters and a round of appetizers:
Bruschetta Board: I really enjoyed this! On the menu, there are five categories of bruschetta and you get to pick 3- they brought this cut into three pieces each so me and the boo could share, which was nice (not sure if they charge extra for that). We went with the avocado, burrata, and mascarpone. My favorite was the avacado- it came with a wedge of lime and was very refreshing! Was not a huge fan of the burrata, felt like the flavor was missing something.
Brussels: Saving the best for last. I LOVED THESE SO MUCH! It was my first time ever having brussel sprouts charred; we actually make brussel sprouts at home daily but bake them. These were crunchy on the outside + soft on the inside, dressed with a balsamic vinaigrette which had a lemon flavor- it was perfect with the garlic flavor on the brussels!
Twisted Oysters: This was my first time trying broiled oysters & I'm more of a fresh oyster kind of girl; no comment.
Fresh Oysters: This is where I was a little disappointed. We ordered a half dozen of these even though we didn't need to because we definitely had enough food! The waitress was not able to tell us where the oysters were from- we actually asked after we got them and didn't even realize that she did not tell us that when we were ordering them. The oysters had a cream consistency and the liquid around it was also a foggy cream/white color... We are definitely fresh oyster lovers but this was so bad. Maybe we didn't have the taste for this specific oyster (I'm sure), but now we can't even watch out for this kind of oyster at any other restaurant since we don't know the name!
Creamed Spinach: This is one of the things I didn't feel strongly about because it had artichokes in it and the consistency/flavor reminded me a little too much of spinach & artichoke dip. I ended up eating it with the leftover bruschetta crumbs though and that was pretty yummy.
Definitely coming back for that sandwich!
