We visited with our friends who had told told us about this wonderful restaurant. We came at an off hour with our four youngish kids and sat on the patio. The server was friendly and gracious with our kids. We appreciate good food, as do our kids, so we are always on the lookout for place like Twisted Grove that has tasty high quality food, laid back atmosphere and does not just offer chicken fingers for kids! In fact we loved that the kids dishes came with broccolini (which happens to be their favorite vegetable). I am also glad we came at an off hour and didn't bother anyone with our kids in the patio--the inside looked more formal so we will have to try that on a date night. We ordered a bit everything on the recommendation of our server and veteran friends so tried the short ribs and gnocchi, eggs in a hole, noodle salad, and crab cakes. Great selection of beer and wine by the glass too. Happy to have found this spot!
