There was a wide variety of options on the menu for both carnivores and vegetarians. Food was better than we could have imagined. Servers were very friendly and attentive.“

“First time there today 2/20/26 and I'm impressed. Had the chicken salad on croissant with pasta salad and potato salad. The chicken salad is very good! Pasta salad has a great flavor to it, not sure what they use but it's not italian dressing, it's more sweet and really delicious. All the sides looked good. You get two sides with a sandwich and two of the choices were chocolate or lemon cake, gotta love a place that has cake as a side item 😁!“

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟An Absolute Gem in Shalimar!

​If you haven’t been to The Twisted Grape Wine Bar and Café yet, you are missing out. The entire experience was phenomenal from start to finish.
​The food and drinks were top-tier. Just take a look at the attached picture —the presentation of the food is incredible, and it tastes even better than it looks! Everything was perfectly seasoned, fresh, and paired beautifully with their excellent drink selection.
​What truly sets this place apart, though, is the hospitality. A massive thank you to the Chef, Ms. Barbara and Ms. Smiley for providing such outstanding, attentive, and warm service. They made us feel right at home and ensured we had everything we needed. Excellent food, great drinks, and unbeatable service—we will definitely be back! Thank you Brian“

“I would recommend AJ’s for the live music and drinks, but the food is lacking. $26 for 8 oysters is ridiculous. I ordered the “shrimp spring rolls”. I expected a spring roll like you get in an Asian restaurant. I got six shrimp tails wrapped in phyllo for $16. Very disappointed in the food but the atmosphere is nice.“
