    The food here is amazing with flavorful sauces, terrific pastas, meats and fish served in plentiful amounts at the perfect temperatures! The chimmichurri sauce on the flank steak was so flavorful and fresh. The vegetables and potatoes were seasoned perfectly and a nice combination of flavors. The service was professional, proficient and personable. The ambiance is modernity decorated with a flare for elegance yet accepting of casual. Families are welcome. I love this restaurant in any season and especially in the spring and summer for outdoor seating with a view of Mount Rose and surrounding foothills.

    Grilled pork belly and bacon mac and cheese were great appetizers.

    I've visited Twisted Fork twice now and the food doesn't disappoint both times. Although I have yet to patronize this restaurant for other than a work gathering, if I am in the area and looking for a spot to eat, Twisted Fork would be high on the list. Airy and bright atmosphere, lots of windows and outdoor patio seating on those nice days. I tried the grilled cheese with short rib and homemade chips. The ribs were tender and the sauce savory. It was a little light on the cheese for a grilled cheese sandwich. I expected a pull of cheese when biting it but it was more like a splattering of shredded cheese on the short ribs. Flavorful overall and the bread toasty. My coworker had the Twisted Bahn Mi vietnamese sandwich. Now we are both from Northern CA and had plenty of vietnamese sandwiches there but let's do a side by side. Starting with the bread. Twisted version was a softer hogie kind of roll. Where traditional viet sandwiches use a baguette roll with a crispy outer crust and firm inside. The meat. Twisted version had shredded pork, more like pulled pork. It was slathered in a korean style sauce. Traditional viet sandwiches typically use grilled meats without any sauces. The condiments. This is where both Twisted and traditional are similar and different. Shredded carrots, daikon radish, cilantro, mint leaves are similar. What's different is the heavy use of shiracha aioli in the Twisted and traditional using pork liver pâté with mayo. So am I saying the Twisted Bahn Mi is bad? No, just stating it is not the same as traditional Bahn Mi and better to know than to be surprised. Would I order it, no because I an used to traditional. The grilled pork belly and bacon mac and cheese appetizers were great! I would consider those two as my entree! If you are in the area, give Twisted a try.

    One of my top rated and most recommended in Reno. Hubby and I decided to pop in for lunch around 12:30 on a Friday afternoon We shared the Wagyu Meatballs which are a total favorite! The sauce is rich without being too heavy and the meatballs are so juicy and delicious. It comes with bread for dipping and I love the crispiness against the warm sauce. I ordered the apple and fig chicken sandwich which was bomb! The chicken was the best part! But it had arugula, red onions and apples, both red and green. The fig mustard and Brie were amazing. This is one of the best sandwiches I've had. I also got clam chowder as my side which was also really good, not too salty. The service was really great! Any of the servers who saw we had empty glasses refilled them or cleared plates. There is a beautiful outdoor patio area, it was about a 30 minute wait. There was no wait and plenty of space for indoor dining and bar area. Quirky fun fork decor which can be found throughout the Restaurant Things to note: Split plate charge is $6 No split checks on parties of 6+ Automatic gratuity for parties of 8 or more

    I had tacos al Pastor..

    I had tacos al Pastor. The dish was perfect (I have had it before), but the sauce tastes like ketchup with some Tabasco in it. Folks, I have to give a star less review. At least 7-11 is honest with dogs on the rollers for 12 hours.

    Wow what a  fantastic lamb dinner! With one crab coquette ! Wonderful

    Went yesterday for a late lunch with my friend at The Twisted Fork. The food was amazing. We shared an artichoke ( 4 hearts). My friend had the Beet Salad and I had the most delicious French Dip I have eaten in Reno. The drinks were wonderful. Our waitress was wonderful. The Atmosphere was great.

    Stopped in with my daughter for a quick lunch. It was amazing. From the burger to the wings. Very flavorful. The waitstaff was engaging and informative. Great suggestions. I enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and the great air conditioning. One way to beat the heat.

    We returned to the twisted Fork for an incredible brunch on Sunday Great food all around No complaints from anyone Desert was extra special as well a fancy tiny cheesecake

    Good food and ambiance. We like how the staff are very approachable.Nice sports bar inside as well. They also have an outdoor dining area. Looks very cozy to hang out just be mindful about the heat specially this summer. The Manager seems very nice, he totally makes rounds time to time. By the time we're about to leave, he said thank you for dining and wish us a good day. We appreciate that simple gesture. Truly a customer service friendly. Will definitely comeback here.

    Saffron risotto (leftovers) I took home
    Lori P.

    My husband and I tried Twisted fork after a late night shopping outing at RC Willy's. We were nearing closing time, but the restaurant still greeted us and found us a seat even on a decently busy Saturday night. Service was great this night & we received fresh warm French bread with butter and waters upon sitting down. Glancing at the menu, I couldn't help notice a new item I hadn't seen before, the saffron shrimp and blue crab risotto with peas, and green onions on the dinner menu. It was just what I was craving on this cold still snowy February night and being quite hungry, we decided to opt for the dinner menu and both ordered this dish instead of the smaller large bites , which I'm a fan of several of the items on this menu, particularly the shrimp tamal. They were out of soup this night so we opted for the Caesar salad salad that came with the dinner. The Caesar was fresh and light with a hint of lemon and we both gobbled it down. Outcame the colorful risotto with its saffron yellowish red-orange color and my husband quickly realized he didn't see the word saffron on the menu and thought it would be more of a creamier type risotto. This unique dish was flavorful and good, and I'm not sure what I was expecting because the description did fit exactly what we got, but the risotto was a bit too al dente for our taste and the shrimp and blue crab were a bit underwhelming in the dish. The shrimp were on the small side and we really couldn't see the blue crab at all to be honest, but you still did get the flavor so I'm certain it was mixed in. This was a very filling dish, so it did its job this night and we both had leftovers we took home. I'm not sure I would get the dish again, but it was a nice addition to the menu as I always like to see menus being updated and revised. We were too full for dessert so this ended our evening but shout out again to the great service and always being a reliable restaurant that has a lot of good options when you're in the area.

    Caesar Salad! Yum!
    Angel Marie P.

    Delicious food and clean environment. It was not too busy, which was convenient. Service was pretty good and I was checked-in on often. I ordered the bread pudding, but was served the brownie. I will have to come back to try it! Additionally, the hostess placed me in a corner in the back of the restaurant. I had come straight from work and wasn't dressed to the nines as such, but perhaps they thought I wanted space from all the hustle and bustle. Though, I was able to hear back of house staff complaints about night/day shift and cleaning, which I personally did not mind much, but other customers might. Steak was delicious and a good portion for the price. The teriyaki glaze balanced out the spiciness of the wasabi and other spices well. It was cooked correctly and tender. Mashed potatoes and veggies were the perfect sides, and filling. Brownie and salad were solid options with nothing super special to note.

    Nightingale and fresh bread
    Lauren C.

    This is one of my most recommend restaurants to anyone who comes to the Reno Nevada area. The happy hour drinks and menu are fantastic, it also has great options for lunch and dinner! Some of my favorites being their French Dip, Salmon, and Short Ribs. They also have my favorite wine (Duckhorn) from when I was drinking as well as a nonalcoholic menu. I recommend the Nightingale! Serious is great and I love going here for a drink After work, date night or girls night

    Half Chopped BLTA Salad with Salmon
    Cody A.

    We had reservations but ended up arriving early. The place is clean and bright. Nice mix of tables and booths. We ordered a half salad with Salmon (perfectly pan seared and moist). Perfect portion for lunch. We also tried a sandwich. Staff was attentive, taking our order, refilling our drinks, removing plates and providing us with separate checks.

    Happy hour menu
    Aileen L.

    Happy hour was a pleasant surprise! Twisted Fork has happy hour from 3:30- 5:00 daily except major holidays. We were seated at a booth which had a nice view of the patio and mountains! Service was amazing. Angela was friendly and checked back with us multiple times to make sure we were content. We ordered the beet salad, pork tacos and the bread pudding. Prices were very affordable $10. Each and the portions were just right. The beet salad has arugula, yellow and red beets, goat cheese, candied nuts with an amazing aioli. I also ordered a side of grilled chicken to complement my meal! Delicious!!! The pork tacos had excellent flavor but my husband didn't speak up and let our server know that it was a little dry but he still loved it! The dessert, bread pudding, was also delicious!

Plenty of ranch on the side. Love ranch! For, dessert we had their Whistle pig bread pudding. My favorite. I can honestly say they have the best bread pudding in town. A must try. Our friend had an issue but it was unrelated to our current visit. Which was promptly addressed by the manager. Overall, we highly recommend The Parlor. Come in have a meal.

The bartender never acknowledged us, and the server spent time in the kitchen looking at her phone and playing with her hair instead of checking on guests. We waited for more than 10 minutes without being greeted, offered menus, or even told someone would be with us shortly. What made the experience even more frustrating was watching another couple sit down at the bar after we arrived and receive immediate service while we continued to be completely overlooked. After waiting with no acknowledgment whatsoever, we got up and walked out. Even as we left, not a single employee noticed or acknowledged us. This wasn't a busy restaurant, so there is simply no excuse for this level of inattentive service. Being ignored from start to finish is unacceptable. A simple greeting or "We'll be right with you" would have taken seconds and completely changed our experience. Instead, we left feeling invisible and extremely disappointed.

We took a booth and were immediately approached by our server Lud. The menu is extensive and there is a special menu for breakfast. There were a lot of salad choices but we elected to get their Club sandwich and a Smashburger. We received our food choices from Lud pretty promptly and we both enjoyed our choices a great deal. My Smashburger was two 1/2-pound patties, so it was substantial and it was cooked perfectly for me. I enjoyed the South 40 fries that were coated with a batter of some sort and crisp. Lud came back regularly to see how our meals were. There were TVs on the walls showing college hoops. The building in which this restaurant is located has, in addition to a large dining area, a large bar, and some entertainment attractions, like an extensive arcade for young children and an Extreme Virtual Reality play zone. In summary, we enjoyed the food, the service was excellent and there were diversions for kids for after meals. The only two points for potential improvement were, 1) with a menu with a number of burger options, they didn't have relish available, and 2) my wife ordered the Mac-and-cheese and found it somewhat lacking. It looked like they were using Velveeta cheese rather than a thicker type, like a cheddar. We'll be back soon!
