Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Twisted Olive delights with its "phenomenal food" and "energetic staff." Guests rave about the "delicious lamb chop with risotto" and the "superb Pan roasted Barramundi." While the "cocktails and service are always top notch," the noise level can be high during busy times. Overall, a must-visit in Bethlehem!

The food and atmosphere was excellent at Twisted Olive. We went on valentines day and enjoyed the entire experience. We were pleasantly surprised at the bill when compared to other "date night" spots we've frequented on special occasions. We will definitely be back to try more of their delicious menu items!

We were pleasantly surprised to grab reservations late in the day on Valentine's Day. Our server was extremely pleasant and attentive. There were 5 of us. The table started with the olive appetizer as well as the braised short rib ravioli special. For entrees, two had the steak on the stone, one had the lamb shank, another had the roasted chicken, and I had the shrimp appetizer for my dinner. All food was served timely and tasted delicious. We are frequent diners here and typically always have a positive experience; this was no different.

We had an amazing Valentine’s day Meal! My boyfriend got the chicken amore special , which was just chicken parm, and it was $29 i thought this was a little high priced because you don’t get anything with it but noodles and chicken. Other than that everything was amazing , service excellent, desserts amazing!!
