    Brussels sprouts
    Cristy M.

    Incredible meal! We decided to get the KC strip despite the $70 price tag. It was definitely the best steak I've had. The Brussels were so delicious with the chili oil and Parmesan. Our server was so kind and patient and explained everything well, and made our special occasion even more special. The only complaint i have (and it's a small one) is that I had a reservation for 7pm and we weren't seated until 7:20pm despite arriving right at our reserved time. For only 2 people on a Thursday. But the wait was worth it after the wonderful meal we had. The ambiance reminds me of an elevated Texas Roadhouse if you can picture that. A great experience overall, but definitely a splurge!

    I have wanted to try Twisted Tree since 2018. My birthday was the other day and my family treated me to lunch here. It was a mixed bag, for sure. The atmosphere is A-OK. I was expecting a slightly more upscale vibe, but this seems like a slightly nicer Walnut Grill or Longhorn Steahouse. It is owned by Syberg's, and you can tell. The service was absolutely horrific. We got sit in the very corner in a casual room, and were ignored, so we asked to move to the nicer dining room. The hostess grunted but finally gave into us. But it still didn't help. We waited 35 minutes for a waitress. 35. Minutes. The only way we got one was flagging down the (very friendly) bartender, who got the manager's attention. Finally, our server Breanna appeared out of nowhere. Apparently she got confused and was supposed to be serving us the entire time. She was friendly, but honestly, we were annoyed. The food was great, if not a bit overpriced. The Crab Rangoon were a notch above traditional Chinese food. They tasted like China King's but with more garlic flavor. The House Salad was very good and we enjoyed the various sauces that were explained to us. The steaks? Not bad but not $47 quality. We ordered 6-oz filet mignons and were still hungry. They were tender but slightly overdone and needed some more seasoning. I was sent home a free slice of Wedding Cake, which I appreciated. It was decent. But overall? Not loving Twisted Tree, but I can see why people enjoy it. Apparently we went on a bad day for their service...

    Awesome options

    We visited Twisted Tree on a Wednesday evening, arriving early (around 5:30 PM). While we were seated immediately, the dining room was completely full by 6:30 PM. Even with a full house, being seated in the middle of the large dining area kept the volume manageable and the experience relaxed. The Standouts * The House Salad (4.5/5): My wife and I agree--this is easily one of the best house salads in St. Louis. The ingredients are incredibly fresh, the dressings are clearly homemade, and those croutons are legendary. If you come here and don't order the salad, you're doing it wrong. * Barrel-Aged Manhattan (4.25/5): This was excellent and very well executed. I was actually surprised to find they used Four Roses as the base. While Four Roses is a solid, standard bourbon, it doesn't typically have the aggressive flavor notes of a high-proof or spicy rye. However, those complex flavors were definitely present here, likely a testament to the quality of their house barrel-finishing process. The Entrées: A Mixed Bag Service was friendly and prompt, and our server was great at navigating our menu questions. However, we found the seafood lacked the same "wow" factor as the starters. * Halibut Special (3.5/5): This was served over a black garlic risotto with asparagus. The risotto was the highlight--rich and perfectly executed--and provided a better flavor profile than the other fish dish. * Sea Bass (3/5): While the portion was generous and the fish was fresh, it was crying out for a sauce or more aggressive seasoning. The accompanying kale and squash were unfortunately undercooked and lacked flavor. Experimental Dessert * Red Velvet Cake Bread Pudding (3/5): We are always up for trying something new, but this didn't quite land for us. It was served cold, which might have been a deliberate chef's choice since Red Velvet is often a cold cake, but it felt "off" for a bread pudding. The chocolate sauce and strawberries were tasty, but the overall mixture was just too rich and thick to really enjoy. The Verdict Twisted Tree clearly knows its way around a salad and a cocktail, but the seafood and experimental desserts were a bit of a miss this time. In hindsight, I spent the whole night looking at the chalkboard featuring their dry-aged beef options and eyeing the pork chop on the menu. We'll definitely be back, but next time, we're sticking to the steaks and the classics.

    Twisted Tree is by far one of my favorite restaurants in STL. Their food is incredible, the service is wonderful, and their happy hour is top notch. It has a casual, but high end vibe that's unique. I love their salad and how you can make your own at the table, mix both of the dressings together! The steaks are amazing, the filet is my favorite. Their chicken spedini is probably top 5 favorite meals ever. Happy hour is $5 plates with a solid selection. Just go- you won't regret it!

    This is the delightful lobster bisque. Absolutely, delicious.
    Matthew C.

    I just dinned here for my mother in law's birthday and I was blown away to say the least. The food was more than exemplary, especially the lobster bisque, the steak and the ahi tuna. The service was top notch and our server, (I wish I could remember his name), was fantastic and really made us all feel like we dinning amongst royalty. The ambiance was great with intimate lighting, great music at just the right level and the decor was nice as well. Although a bit pricy, I would love a chance to eat here again as once you taste the food, you'll know instantly, that it's worth every penny your spending. If I could give the Twisted Tree 10 stars, I definitely would.

    We had a 3:30pm reservation for a Saturday. We planned for a late lunch, early dinner, after a day shopping in the city. Parking wasn't bad and we found a spot on the side of the building. Once inside, we had only a short wait to be seated, even though we were a little early for the reservation. Everyone was very friendly. Given the time of day, it wasn't very busy and the restaurant was much quieter than usual. Our waiter and his assistant (Justin and Peter) were both great! The family style salad and bread is my favorite here. I really enjoy the house French served with it. I think it has a little kick to it that makes it extra delicious. My husband had the balsamic dressing with his salad, and he really enjoyed it. For the main course, I had the 8 ounce filet with mashed potatoes and asparagus. My husband had the 16 ounce ribeye with mashed potatoes and asparagus. The steaks were ordered medium, and both cooked perfectly! The potatoes were amazing. The asparagus wasn't that great, but I won't even take a star away for it because everything else was delicious! We didn't have room for dessert this time, but I always recommend the wedding cake. We finished up with a tiny bag of mints and the check. You can't go wrong with Twisted Tree if you are in the mood for a good steak!

    Very tasty dinner at Twisted Tree. We got our favorites: lobster bisque, ribeye, brussel sprouts & for dessert we all shared the wedding cake, double chocolate & classic gooey butter cake! Food, service & ambience are amazing and looking forward to coming back!

    We came here on NYE and had such a great experience. Drinks: espresso martinis & an old fashioned- they were all really good!! Appetizers: shrimp cocktail & crab Rangoon- I wish that be shrimp was a little colder but they were still delicious! The cocktail sauce had just the right amount of sauce. The crab Rangoon was tasty but I don't need it next time. Entrees- NY Strip & Fillet- both were cooked perfectly. Again, wish they were a little warmer but it didn't take away from the flavor Sides- baked potato, brussel sprouts, and side salad- baked potato was huge! Brussel sprouts were SO good. These alone would bring me back to the restaurant! The side salad was also delicious and I loved the dressings! Service- exceptional! We were even given a mini bottle of champagne to take home with us since it was NYE. We also had our 10 month old with us and the server was very accommodating for her. Ambiance- great atmosphere!

    This will be a new tradition for when my coworkers come to town for Department Meetings twice a year. Six of us came last visit and we had seven this time. Meredith is the Hostess with the Mostess! Thanks for helping with our reservation. Loved our little semi enclosed space, it was the perfect size and we felt tucked away. Our server was Justin, and he indicated he was normally shy and had just moved to the front of the house. He did an awesome job and we couldn't tell he was shy. All of us did not arrive at the same time and Justin took care of drink orders as we came in. I already had my eye on a smokey drink, the Smokey 'Biscus; Jalapeno infused Mezcal, Hibiscus, lime juice, and black sea salt. It was very good. For appetizers we shared a large order of the Pear Tree onion rings and the batter dipped lobster bites, served on crispy fries with drawn butter - so good. Both were gone in a flash. The salads came with our meal and are served family style. We got both the garden greens with hot garlic croutons, feta cheese, and Pear Tree Vinaigrette and Madam French Dressing as well as a family size Caesar Salad. For the garden salad they recommend mixing the two salad dressings. I like it because the croutons, cheese, and such are in a separate serving dish. Very tasty. I ordered a White Sangria for the meal, it was ok. I went with a medium rare, 16oz ribeye with a side of grilled. asparagus. When the food arrived, my steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Delicious. The asparagus had pine nuts and butter and was very good. I had enough for leftovers and Justin bagged everything up. Most of my companions ate their full meal as they were flying home the next morning. All declared the meal wonderful. Make reservations! This place is packed all the time but it's a great experience and great food.

    Happy hour
    Bella S.

    Great happy hour experience. A great menu for apps and drinks-- all were only $5 from 3-6. Our food came out SUPER fast, service was fabulous, and the drinks were delish. A cozy, intimate vibe perfect for a date, coworkers, or family outing.

    Great spot to celebrate a birthday in the back room, date night in the dining room areas or dinner with the girls in the bar! No matter what you order you will have something to take home with you. Salads are served family style and I love all the shaved parmigiana on the Caesar salad. Mangers are awesome too and serves are very attentive!

    Went for happy hour on the patio. It was hot but we wanted to get the hh prices & went with patio seating. Were seated quickly, patio had a few tables not overcrowded. Waiter was attentive. Food & drinks came in a timely manner. Food & drinks were $5 for hh. Options limited. Portions on small side. A lot of fried food. I cant comment on other menu items but honestly would probably not go back for just hh. Ordered a little extra to take home leftovers but that wasn't allowed for hh.

    10/10 Experience Everything about our experience was exceptional from start to finish. The service -- including the service assistant -- truly could not have been better. Attentive, knowledgeable, and perfectly timed. We started with the bacon-wrapped scallops, which were not only visually stunning but easily the best we've ever had. For the main course, the tomahawk steak was cooked to a perfect medium -- flavorful, tender, and beautifully presented. Dessert was the crème brûlée, which was the perfect way to end the meal. Outstanding food, outstanding service, and an overall memorable experience. We will absolutely be back.

    Ask the Community - Twisted Tree

    Can you order from the bar/patio menu (a burger) when seated in the dining room?

    Unfortunately, the bar menu is only available in the bar area. Thank you!

    Looking at the menu, it doesn't appear kid friendly, would that be accurate?

    Hi Charise, We do offer a children's menu with 4 or 5 different items included. Thank you!

    Can you do separate bills for a party of people?

    Yes, separate checks are not a problem!

    What do people wear here?

    Most people just wear casual clothes. Nice jeans and shirt for the guys. I usually wear a casual dress in the summer and jeans and nice sweater in the winter.

    Do patrons have to wear a mask inside of the establishment?

    Not as of 2/28/22

    What is Twisted Trees uncorking fee?

    $25 per bottle Thanks!

    Do they cater to birthday requests? or have complimentary birthday desserts?

    I am not sure. We celebrated our anniversary and they brought out a piece of their Wedding Cake and Ice Cream. It was good, but beware... we were charged for it!!! We didn't… Read more

It was just enough for one person to eat if they were Hungry, but feasibly could be enough for two with small appetites. There were a good number of shrimp and crab legs and they were fresh and tasty. I don't like sausage so I didn't eat that but I did eat the potatoes and corn and they were delicious soaked in the liquid from my boil. I have been looking for a decent boil because my daughter also loves boils and down south where we lived for quite some time there are plenty. Storming crab will be our go to place for boils. It was really very good. Also let me add before I end, one thing that drew me here was prices. I don't mind paying for a good boil but I do mind if it is too much for me to eat and half gets thrown out. It was nice to find a place that had a good boil for one person that was priced well for the food received. I am very happy with my decision to go here and will definitely be back.

The only complaint here is the amount of meat/seafood they put on their sandwiches - it's like bread with a few shrimp. For the price you're paying (almost $20 an entree), I feel like you should be getting a little more meat. But at least it's good. I got a burger this time and the patties were seasoned super well and honestly very, very good. Such a cool spot, especially on a nice day. Great spot for beers and hanging out with friends.

There was no peppery flavor at all. My cocktail, on the other hand, was delicious and well made (old fashioned) and our server was efficient, helpful, and timely. Overall I enjoyed the atmosphere. I've had the crab cake before so I didn't get it this time, and it's as good as people say. It is huge and can be shared with at LEAST two people. I'd likely visit again but I'll probably stay away from these two entrees next time.
