Truly a devastating culinary experience. The service was great; the food bordered on traumatic it was so bad.
The Risotto and cheese appetizer was presented like fish sticks. It was deep fried sticks of “risotto” which proved to simply be mushy flavourless rice. I don’t know what part cheese was suppose to play, but it never made an appearance.
The scallops were terrible; and for some reason there was more of the flavourless mush masquerading as Risotto underneath the scallops.
My Eggplant Parmesan was wet. There was a huge amount of it served and I wished there wasn’t. There wasn’t a single flavour in the entire dish except for the balsamic vinaigrette on the plate which was by far the best part of the dish. I was absolutely baffled to find Risotto underneath the eggplant Parmesan.
The Paella was almost a crime. There wasn’t a crispy bottom layer; it was just what was essential the Risotto AGAIN in a mushy messy with no flavour and the mussels were so undercooked I was scared to eat it. I don’t know how you can call something a Paella without a socarrat. The prawns seemed like they were boiled from frozen with absolutely nothing for seasoning or even butter. Boring is an understatement.
And then the bill. $130 before the tip. We drank water and had no dessert and were charged fine dining prices for the worst meal I can remember.
Again, our waitress was excellent. No complaints there.
I don’t know if they somehow found themselves with an excess of Risotto and were just trying to offload it; but it was unforgivable.
I’m not a review writer and probably would have let this go, until we got the bill.
If you value flavour and respect food in the slightest, I would suggest giving this place a pass.

We had yet another great meal. The feature mussels were fabulous served with fries and a great dip. A few more pieces of baguette would be appreciated to sop up the sauce. Lamb shank was very tender. The burning rosemary grapefruit cocktail looked and smelled amazing. Service was attentive ama friendly.

Everything was good but the service from Mike and Justin absolutely made the evening. They both were happy to create custom drinks and necessary meal changes for our group, while continuing to make us laugh the whole time! Thank you both so much.

I can’t say enough good things about the Twisted Cork! From the moment you walk in, you feel comfortable and cared about. The space is so beautiful and unique. The lighting is great and very flattering. The wait staff and bartenders very obviously care about their patrons so the service is always fantastic. It’s very apparent they aim to create a warm, fun, and inclusive atmosphere. The cocktails Mike makes are seriously delicious and definitely works of art, and he uses unique methods that make for complex and interesting drinks unlike anything I’ve ever had. The food is next level tasty, which is especially impressive given how young the head chef is. He’s clearly passionate about making high quality food and everything I’ve had there is great. Highly recommend the lobster stuffed chicken. If you haven’t checked out the Twisted Cork lately you should definitely give them a try. I don’t believe you’ll be disappointed. Enjoy!!

Lamb shank was very tender, perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. Rough mashed potatoes went very well with drippings. Roast carrots and zucchini were excellent as well. First time I've had fried chicken peas, they added texture and wonderful flavor.

Such a great atmosphere! Our server described the place as casual elegance. It gets progressively more relaxed as the evening wears on. Their deep fried pickles are amazing!!
Outstanding service in an atmosphere filled with unprecedented character, topped off with excellent hand crafted drinks and spectacular food that is made to perfection. 👌
Thank you Mike, Justin and staff for the amazing experience every time I visit. Incredible.

Best restaurant to dine in in Prince George. The atmosphere and interior design resemble western movies 🎬 My partner and I had our birthday's dinner served here in April 2025. We had a New York Striploin (steak) & Lamb Shank that were cooked perfectly, and it was marinated tastefully, thanks to the great kitchen crew Takio and Amanda. Beforehand, we had 2 special cocktails (I don't remember the names😁) smelling and tasting great. Since it was our birthday, we were offered a free cheesecake, which I must say it was the best one I ever had. Afterward, the staff accommodated a surprise moment for my partner and when my friends brought a cake. Mike, the best restaurant coordinator ever provided our group of 4 with herbal tea and coffee and surprisingly when we asked for the bill, he said it was for free (man it could cost over $40 somewhere else). I must say a million times thanks to Mike for coordinating the moment, the handsome barman Justin and the skillful kitchen crew Takio and Amanda for creating such a memorable night for us. 5 star is not enough for this gem, I would absolutely recommend this restaurant.
