    We went to Twisted Olive for my husband’s birthday. The food was fantastic as always. We had a nice roomy booth across from a fireplace which was perfect. Our waiter was Garrett. He was friendly and efficient. We got the lemon brûlée cheesecake for dessert which was absolutely amazing. We will be back soon!
