  • My husband and I ate here November 3rd. As some reviewers have favorably compared Twist to Joel Robuchon and Restaurant Guy Savoy (both establishments we have previously very much enjoyed) we were anxious to try Twist. What a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!!! Our evening at Twist began with being met at the entry by a strong, nearly overwhelming odor of fish. I have been in less stinky fish markets. Despite making the reservation months in advance and the excitement we had leading up to the night, the odor was so powerful we nearly turned around and walked out. For the record, neither of us are particularly sensitive to smells. After being seated, we waited a moderate amount of time for our waiter to greet us. While waiting we once again contemplated leaving due to the odor. When our waiter finally made his way over to us, it became quickly evident he was ill-suited to his position: technically inept and lacking refinement. For as much as he appeared to struggle throughout the evening with us and others whom he was serving and for as unrefined as were his behavior and speech, he would have been ill-suited as a waiter in a TGIFridays. There came a point when this fellow was so overwhelmed by his situation the sommelier came to clear our table. The lack of training and refinement we observed in our waiter was also observed in the secondary staff. As an example, we observed one fellow remove my husband's bread plate while clearing our appetizers and subsequently get rebuked within earshot of us by another staff member. The food was good and plentiful with well balanced flavors-the only true positive I can offer from the evening. The WOW factor we were expecting, though, was lacking and, though tasty, the food was certainly inadequate to counter the negatives of the rest of our experience. The decor was okay but was neither inspired nor inspiring. From the food and price standpoints specifically, Twist would be best compared to Michael Mina, Mix, Picasso, and the like. However, in terms of overall experience, the stinky fish odor and the remarkably poor service experience would make for unfair and inaccurate comparisons with these other excellent restaurants. My suggestion, skip it. Huge waste of time, money, and calories. In a city like Las Vegas there is so much better to be had.
