All of the staff from walking in to be seated to the end of our meal were super welcoming! Hailey was super attentive and everything we ordered was delicious! Definitely going to visit anytime we're back in town. Highly recommend the fries with the gorgonzola fondue and beignets!

We came to Twigs for dinner for my friends birthday and had such a fantastic time! Everyone was so friendly and service was so fast! Our server was Hanna H and she was so nice and had such a great personality. The martinis we had from the bar were some of the best we’ve had…a dirty gin martini for my husband and a holiday espresso martini for me ( the peppermint foam was sooo delicious!). Wine selection was great as well! Our dinner was perfectly cooked and that is great for scallops. My husband and my friend both said their steak was amazing! We can’t wait to go back!

My boyfriend took me here for lunch yesterday. The food was good, cocktails were too but what truly stood out to me was our server. Christian was a lot of fun to be served by. Christian greeted us with warm, vibrant energy that carried on through our meal service. He was quick, but steady, and very kind. Even shared some jokes with us. Christian treated us as if he has known us for forever. Will only be coming back when he is working. He’s the best. Thanks Big Dawg!

We really enjoyed the vegan brussel sprouts and the salmon was excellent. It tasted fresh caught and was the same color all the way through, with none of the signs of farm salmon. Hanna H was incredibly attentive, and noticed that my partner didn't eat the scallops in their risotto. Regardless of our lack of complaint, they gave us a free dessert. Great service from everyone, particularly Hanna H, and the rest of the staff as well for also granting my request to be seated with a view of the water. Made our engagement dinner much nicer.

Great experience dining at Twigs Bistro for Xmas Eve. Beautiful venue on the waterfront. Our party of five enjoyed amazing food, - the fig & prosciutto flatbread and the savory scallops risotto are memorable. Twigs offered a delicious holiday menu of lamb lollipops, stuffed pork tenderloin and gingerbread tiramisu. Outstanding service starting with the warm and friendly hostess and from our server, the always on top of it Nathan.
