There's brunch and they'll add breakfast, opening at 7 a.m. Twisted Fork will also cater to the bar crowd with a late-night menu available until midnight every day except Friday and Saturday, when it's open until 1 a.m. The dessert menu is similarly laced with gems, from a satisfying tiramisu ($4.95) to a frutti del bosco pie ($3.95) filled with assorted berries. Of course, a range of salads is also on tap. We loved the fried calamari ($7.95) with its tangy tomato sauce and slightly spicy breading and especially the Country Bread Mushrooms ($5.95) with a mix of sauteed mushrooms atop toasted Tuscan bread covered in a delectable herbed goat cheese. Some of the best gems are to be found among the 11 appetizers. But lest you think this is just bar food, there's also New York Strip Steak (we tried this and loved it covered with caramelized onions, bleu cheese and mushrooms, $17.95), assorted pastas, salmon ($13.95), tuna ($14.95), trout ($13.45), veggie stew ($6.95) and more. There are a dozen sandwiches in the $6.95-$8.95 price range everything from burgers to chicken pesto panini and a reuben.įriday fish fry dishes up cod or perch with apple sauce and fries and on Wednesdays and Saturdays, try slow-cooked prime rib. It's not swanky or especially distinctive, but it has the mellow, welcoming feel of an upscale Q-Doba, which makes sense since Twisted Fork co-owner, the Roaring Fork Restaurant Group (Eric Wagner and Mike Pranke) also owns area Qs.īut the food at Twisted Fork is anything but fast food of any stripe (although on opening night our meals arrived faaaast!). The dining room and bar are wide open, bathed in earthy colors and wooden surfaces and filled with comfy stuffed chairs and booths.
TWISTED FORK TRIAL
Twisted Fork opened on Friday and had a three-day trial run earlier last week which also served as a fundraiser, collecting more than $15,000 for Big Brothers Big Sisters. Lots of hard surfaces make Twisted Fork a little loud, and you might have to run the gauntlet, dodging tray-bearing servers, on your way to the bathrooms, but it's hard to find any other shortcomings here.
