| - Let's just say that we really enjoyed ourselves very much at the Twin Creeks Lounge Happy Hour last evening. I don't normally give 5 * but this was as close as it could get with probably a 4.5 * rating being a more accurate rating. This review is for the lounge and not the restaurant (though I have to go back and try it someday).
The service was wonderful, from the hostess to our waitress/bartender Michelle to the General Manager Jay, everyone was friendly, professional and easy to interact with.
We were pleasantly surprised when we checked the Silverton website and saw that Happy Hour @ Twin Creeks is an evening affair. This worked out perfectly with our plans to go out for the evening, getting a bite to eat and then to play @ the casino.
The atmosphere was very casual elegance. Contemporary "old school" could describe the environment. Comfy, dark and just the right amount of light. The only problem and it was admitted by the staff and management is that the high chairs make it very hard to scoot up close to the table. Thankfully staff is able to assist and offered to do so without our asking. They recognize this is a problem.
Drinks were good and all half priced. Cocktails @ $5 and Stella Artois @ $3.25 per pint. My wife is not a drinker, but really enjoyed the French Kiss (2 cocktails for her, which is rare) and the Berry Mojito (1st cocktail). The beer on tap was Stella.
The tapas were all very nice, but our absolute favorite was the lamb chops (2) which were on the special menu. Oh, I have to go back just to get some more of that succulent, juicy, tender and delicious lamb! It was amazing and cooked just perfect at medium rare. Our second favorite was the sirloin skewer, also very tender for sirloin and the bacon wrapped dates came in third. The salmon was OK, the bacon wrapped shrimp was nice, but the BBQ sauce was unnecessary in my opinion.
This was a wonderful find and we defiantly will return. Probably visiting the restaurant next time for a full course meal.
