I want to start out with saying this is my husband and I’s FAVORITE steakhouse in Saint Louis. Every time we’ve gone, our food has been top tier, except for this past week. I always order the New York strip medium well and it turns out perfect. This past week, I ordered the same thing as always, but as soon as I cut into it, i immediately noticed it was very undercooked (medium rare). I could tell my waitress was very busy so I ignored the fact it was medium rare and continued eating. I seriously could only eat 5-6 bites because the entire rest of the steak was straight fat. I’m weird about textures, which is why I always order a leaner cut, so this was so disappointing to see. We spent a good amount here, which was frustrating because I couldn’t eat much of my steak for the price we paid. Hopefully it will be better the next go around.

The girlfriend and I decided try to a new place. I got a smashed burger and she got a prime rib melt. The food was Outstanding. Plenty of food for the price. Our waiter Martin provided terrible service. We saw him everywhere except our table. Only the 1x when we ordered food and 2nd when I waived him down to get refills that we were waiting patiently for. The nice girl using the hokie packaged our items to go for us because Martin was no where to be found. She even asked if we wanted any dessert. We stopped a different waiter to help us. His name was Corey. He helped us get our ticket and we paid through him. Hats off to him. He and the nice girl saved this review.

This is only about the bar side as I had no food. I got a pour of bourbon with a cube of ice (not the fancy one). When I got the bill it was $2 more than the menu price and I was told they give you a bit more on the rocks. That’s fine, I guess, but make me aware of it. I don’t mind by bourbon neat. Kind of a sneaky up charge.

Our Server, Courtney, was outstanding! She was knowledgeable, attentive, patient with a custom order and made a birthday celebrant feel very special! Our meals were great!

I love this place. I think it is the best lunch value in St Louis. Unfortunately, I tell everyone I know and anyone looking for a great luncheon, about Twisted Tree. So you really should plan ahead and make a reservation especially during the holidays. On this trip, I had the brussels sprouts with sweet chili sauce. Fantastic. I will have that again.

Still had to wait over 15 minutes despite having reservations. Drinks took a long time. 730 reservations but was 8:15 before we had cocktails in our hands. Appetizers and salad were good. They switched my wife and I's steaks. I had medium rare she had medium. Parts of the medium had very little pink so seemed over done even for medium. We were several bites in by the time we realized they were switched and my wife didn't want to switch because my steak was also smaller and had more fat. Was not impressed with the quality and presentation of $70 strip steak. Told waitress steaks got switched and she put my wife's back on grill since it was too rare. Waitress didn't come by for too long after steaks came so we didn't get to explain sooner. Waitress said she was sorry but no manager came and nothing taken off bill. Don't plan on going back.

The food was spectacular. The filet had the perfect sear and was topped with the steak juice at the table. We also enjoyed the twisted shrimp appetizer and their seasonal chocolate crème brûlée. Everything was so good!

Our server, Grant, was great. He was friendly and very patient while we decided what to order. The Caesar salad was dressed perfectly. The greens fresh and crisp, the croutons were extraordinary. The shrimp/ lobster combination was delicious. Two others had the steak frites and the steak was done to perfection. The sauce served with the fries was a nice accompaniment. We definitely will return.

Visted last night for our 16 anniversary. We have been to twisted tree numerous times and this was by far the best service we have ever received. From the hostess that sat us to the server to the server assistant. Everyone was extremely friendly and genuine. In the past the service has always been hit or miss especially at the bar. But tonight we was very impressed.

It was our first time dining at Twisted Tree. The food, service, and price were exceptional! The atmosphere was a little less formal than a typical steak restaurant which was nice. Our waiter was amazing, and didn't steer us wrong. I would definitely go back!
If you want a good meal with great ingredients, a great atmosphere, and great staff, this is a terrific option. Can be a bit pricey, but you can see and taste the difference from other options.

We always enjoy our visits. Steaks are amazing, house salad and dressing is the best in the country. Go early for happy hour which is one of the best in St. Louis.

As always, the food and the experience were great. It was a birthday dinner and it was a great choice.

My wife and I were there for our anniversary. As usual the food was fantastic and the service was even better. We go to twisted tree often and recommend everyone that we see if they like a great steak or prime rib to go there.. The two Jay's were a fabulous waiter and assistant team. Kudos to the managing and hiring team to get such personable and qualified servers.
Wendy
A truly wonderful experience. Top level service, cuisine and ambiance. I especially appreciated the team modifying my reservation to include two additional guests that surprised us last minute. As well there were two medical emergencies that occurred on a very busy night in the area we were seated and the staff handled these professionally and as discreetly as possible ensuring those patrons were successfully taken care of while other patrons experiences were not interrupted. As always, very impressed with the entire experience.
