We made reservations and arrived early so we went to the bar for drinks and appetizers. The bar tender appeared to be new and kept asking the other bartender (who was doing nothing) for help. After waiting 45 minutes, we inquired about the appetizer that we had ordered and it finally showed up. We quickly ate it as our reservation time was there. Our waiter never told us the specials that we heard him explain to other customers. The waiter seemed put out that he actually had to take our orders. The quality of our dinners was mediocre. Luke warm at best. I had heard some good things about this restaurant and made reservations since it was a special occasion. So, so disappointed. We probably won't go back since the prices were high, especially for the service and mediocre food.

Great food and excellent service

Food was great. Two of us ordered the short rib and they couldn't have been smaller portions. I would say 4 normal bites and they were gone.

Really good food!

On our current journey so far the best restaurant. Here we come close to a European standard. eat excellent and not typically American doused with sauces. Service be polite.

Each dish seemed to have something missing about it, but they were fine. The special I had was weird and unexpected, gnocchi with mushrooms but no type of sauce. The server was friendly.

Ate here for the first time. Gave it a 10 out of 10! Loved the drinks, appetizer and entrees. Will was a fabulous waiter and food was served in a timely manner… not rushed. Would definitely come back with more family!

This is my first time at your restaurant and I didn’t have a good experience. I ordered scallops and they were excellent. But the peppery sausage was awful and soso corn did not compliment the scallops but overwhelmed their taste and for me was uneatable. Basically I paid a high price for 4 scallops.

Great place to dine.

Excellent locally sourced food. Unique cocktails. My husband and I dined at Twisted Willow on a Tuesday. Appetizers were delicious. My husband had the chorizo pasta and I had the shrimp pad Thai for our entrees. Both were exceptional. We had the strawberry chocolate cake and the lemon cheesecake. Both were homemade and superb. Highly recommend the Twisted Willow. Their happy hour is exceptional. Definitely worth the drive from Manitowoc for us!

Pricey. Small quantities. Had the nerve to serve me 3 quarter sized scallops.
Service was friendly.

Decent food, poor service. This restaurant doesn’t have Air conditioning so on hot summer days it is sweltering inside, does not set the mood for a pleasant experience. We got there early and went to their small bar area, where 2 couples were already sitting. It took 10 minutes before the bartender asked for our order, then served me a dirty martini without any olives garnishing my drink. When we were seated at our reserved time, it took 20 minutes for anyone to come to our table. This is not a large establishment either. We ordered several apps, and some were good, like the chipotle shrimp and garlic pretzels, but the soup was mid and so was the bruschetta. The entrees were ok, probably led by the short rib, and the steak. But the chorizo rigatoni and other dishes were very mediocre. The staff was all female as is the ownership, vibe was uneasy at best, kept touting things like gluten free which meant nothing to us. Hard pass on this place.
