Food was really good. Had the Pasta ala Vodka. Portion was a good size. Pretzel bites with beer cheese was great and the rosemary fries were surprisingly good. Martini was great! Waitress was efficient and kept our drinks filled. Would definitely go back again.

Olive or Twist is an absolute must-try! The experience was 5-star all around—from the incredibly warm staff and owner to the delicious and creative food. We were blown away by the variety! The Beef and Cheddar Egg Rolls (a genius twist!) and the Gringo on 6th Taco are pure comfort food perfection. For something lighter, the Ahi Tuna Noodle Salad was fresh and zesty. The Beef Stroganoff was rich and phenomenal. Everything was extremely delicious. Highly recommend!

What an incredible night at Olive or Twist!
Tonight, Diane and I had the amazing opportunity to visit Rich’s restaurant, Olive or Twist, to sample some of the new items from his upcoming menu — and wow, did he outdo himself. From start to finish, the experience was top-notch.
Rich went above and beyond for us and truly showcased his creativity and passion for food. Everything he brought out was unbelievable — each dish better than the last.
We started off with his take on an Arby’s classic: a beef and cheese egg roll with his homemade “57 sauce” — a flavorful spin on the classic horsey sauce that was spot on. Then came The Gringo on Sixth, a chicken taco with pickles and cheese sauce that was bursting with flavor and originality.
Next up was the Ahi Tuna Noodle Salad — perfectly seared tuna over soba noodles with a sweet chili dressing that tied it all together beautifully.
Then came my personal favorite of the night — the Beef Stroganoff, made with tender short rib instead of a traditional roast. Hands down the best version I’ve ever had.
We finished with a Chicken Parmesan served with rigatoni in vodka sauce — comforting, rich, and beautifully done.
To top it all off, we enjoyed a few of their incredible cocktails: The Continental, The Changing Leaf, The Allies, and a classic Whiskey Sour — each one crafted perfectly.
A huge thank-you to Rich and his team at Olive or Twist for treating us to such a memorable night. Everything was phenomenal — from the service to the food to the atmosphere. If you haven’t been yet, do yourself a favor and go check it out.

I don’t write many reviews but darn. We were beat and exhausted so we stopped for a quick dinner on our way home from the hospital. My husband and I shared The Pub Cheeseburger and Truffle fries with Pittsburgh Pickles for an appetizer!!! First the service was AMAZING I mean the absolute best! Then the food was absolutely delicious!!! Just a wonderful meal in a great atmosphere! The GM and I think lead waitress (if not well qualified enough to be) were both just so attentive and really made a rough day wonderful.

The BLT was excellent. Instead of fries I had the tomato basil soup. You could really taste the basil. The gelato bomb was a great ending for any chocolate fan. Simply but delicious food
Somehow have been to TWO wedding events here in the last year, both were unrelated. Same event space. First one, we just enjoyed the cocktails. They do them right, I'll admit that. The food looked 'meh' so we didn't eat anything. Buffet style. Second one, enjoyed cocktails again but this time, 'dinner was served.' Buffet again. Felt forced to choke it down. Usual cubed cheese plate, nothing special or fresh. Cocktail shrimp looked limp so I skipped it. Skipped the cold, dry rolls too. Salad lettuce was sad and wilted with literally nothing else but lettuce, the ranch dressing was decent tho. Turned out to be the only 'good thing' to eat. Pasta Primavera was overcooked plain noodles with some chopped up bell peppers that weren't even cooked. It was bad. Even worse? The chicken parm. It was laughably terrible. Just mushy chicken nuggets with dried 'marinara' on it. There were soggy potatoes with some kind of bland seasoning. Green beans weren't even cooked and left strings in your mouth. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, had any salt. No taste. Lukewarm. Make sure you grab some bar napkins so you can cover up everything on your plate you didn't eat and don't feel so bad about tossing it. We left early and ordered pizza when we got home. Think this place should just be a bar, that's the only thing they get right. Even if the prices are way outta line...

After a long day of driving in the car, this gem Within walking distance of our hotel proved to be the best place to grab some cocktails and apps! Out bartender Bill was an absolute doll and a true master of his craft! We had the Lavender Lemon Drop and cosmopolitans! We ate fried pickles that’s packed a punch! Service was super attentive but not too much! A must visit!
