Slipped in during YNot Wednesday to grab a few appetizers on the patio while the band outside played. Patio seating was quick and our server very friendly. Tried the deviled eggs, fried shrimp, & wings. All good but my only tweak would be lighter batter in shrimp. The Caesar dressing was delicious, which I got a side of for my house salad. Will return again for dinner. They also have live music!!!!
Amazing service & food! Our server, Bridgette, was outstanding and ALL the food and drinks were delicious! And we loved the outside heaters. Perfect for this evenings chilly weather! Will definitely be back!
A couple years ago I thought this was the spot but it’s been a while. I met up with a friend there as it was convenient and was really embarrassed about the service at the bar. A very young bartender just wasn’t very personable and seemed like he had some underlining issues as if he hated his job. If you’re having a bad day you don’t have to ruin mine. After we got our first drink we decided not to order food and went across the street to continue our night. I hope to come back one day and see staff that’s more inviting and give a better rating than this.
A group of my friends and i went to twist martini and we had a waitress, Carolynn who recommend some really good drinks! We originally weren’t there to eat but she also told us her favorite dish on the menu! We ended up ordering the salmon and it was delicious! Would gladly go back !! Great food, great drinks, and friendly people ! 10/10
Came in with my friend for some drinks and an appetizer. Sat outside and the atmosphere was amazing. Drinks were great, food was delicious and filling. Our server, Megan, was very friendly and made our experience there 10x better. Wonderful service from her! I definitely recommend this place!
Definitely wish I took a picture of my food to post, it was phenomenal! My server Carolynn was beyond charming and definitely will be a reason I return! The service she provided was so kind and welcoming! I couldn’t recommend a better place!
My first visit was a party of 4. The waitress was really good, the restaurant was clean, and just a cool place to be in. Im only giving two stars due to 4 different bland tasting dishes, the dishes looked better than they tasted, for a premium Prize. I dont except budget friendly food when dining at Town Center, but expensive food must taste great and this didnt.
Had a great time on Sunday! The food was awesome! Got the pesto pasta and even though it was too much to eat, lunch the next day was delicious. The service was excellent, the server Kellen was on point!
The girlfriend and I had a FANTASTIC time at Twist while visiting VA beach! The drinks were all delicious and unique, the atmosphere was lovely, and our server Kellyn was an absolute delight. She was very knowledgeable and helpful with the menu and lovely to chat with as well. The only think keeping it from 5 stars is that the food I ordered (maple bacon glazed salmon and crab cake) was good but not great, but that may just have been because we were there pretty late at night on a slow day (or because the delicious cocktails had set my expectations abnormally high!). Anyway, I will definitely be going back next time Im in the area!
The restaurant is super lovely but our waitress was the highlight of the night. She was so attentive. Service was excellent and she was well knowledged about all the menu items. I left so satisfied, I will definitely be coming back! . If y’all ever go to twist. Carolynn is literally a gem! 10/10
The food was delicious and our server, Catherine, was tremendous. She was courteous, funny, and extremely helpful. We are from New York and come here every time we visit our daughter at college. Love it!
I had a great experience at Twist. Catherine gave amazing service and the food was great! She checked on us and made us feel very comfortable. Would definitely go back and request her again!
Great food, and great drinks! Our server, Kellyn was wonderful and knew her stuff. She had good whiskey recommendations and was a lot of fun to talk to. It made our first dining experience at Twist a memorable one! 10/10 recommend.
Fantastic food and atmosphere. Brea (Im sorry if I have misspelled your name!) gave 5 star service and was super nice and friendly. Pat is always a delight as well. They use fresh ingredients in their drinks and it shows. The OJ in the screwdriver was amazing.
Dont normally leave reviews for places but felt compelled after the experience here. Ordered the calamari, NY strip steak, and a couple different cocktails off the menu with a group of coworkers. Was very surprised with not only the quality of service but also the quality of food. Not used to finding bar fare of this caliber but after the last couple experiences will certainly be a recurring customer. Highly recommend for a quick drink or a pleasant dinner with friends!
I had such a good experience last night because our waitress Kellyn was on her game! We had a couple of special requests and she was so patient and friendly with us, we felt right at home. The food was great and we love the atmosphere. Keep up the awesome work!
AMAZING!! I was served by Carolynn. The atmosphere was great, food was amazing, and her service was just top tier!! She is Definitely what made my first experience here so great! Will 100% be back and telling friends!!
Came in and got the Korean pork bowl & it exceeded my expectations. The drinks are great, they have many options. My server Catherine was fun & helpful!
Had a great time here! Sat in the bar area and the bartenders were very nice. They had a lot of aged whiskey was cool and let us taste test. Food was good too. They are definitely on the pricey side so have the wallet ready but nice little spot for hangout and chill.
Came in for drinks and apps and really enjoyed myself. The lumpia is so good & their martinis are great. Our server Catherine was very helpful!
Went to Twist fir the first time and the drinks were delicious! Our server, Catherine was so fun and suggested the best drinks! She was lovely!
I had a very pleasant experience the atmosphere was like nothing else I’ve ever witnessed. The waitress was courteous, accommodating on my diet and knowledgeable on the menu. 10/10 would go back based on the service I was given by a Kellyn.
We are from out of town and were suggested this restaurant. Awesome place- fun drinks and great crab cakes. Our server Catherine was great!
Went there for the first time last night and thoroughly enjoyed my experience! My martini was very yummy and they let us sit at an actual table when all we wanted to order was a quick drink and no food… really appreciated them letting us do that!!!
The service was pretty good but that food was terrible! I was chewing on my shrimp for about 30 minutes! It was so bad. I was scared to eat it. Hair on my plate and some kind of bug on my napkin. I willnot be returning to this restaurant. I was wondering why it was so empty when I went. Worst restaurant experience I’ve had in my life.
Katherine was amazing. Very quick and nice. Suggested a lot of good drinks as well. As for her when coming
I was seated immediately, but was completely ignored. I sat at the table for ten minutes, but I was never approached or asked if I was ready to order. They took orders from another couple who came in after me. The hostess and waitresses kept looking at my table but never approached me. I decide to leave. When I brought up that I was never lied. They claimed they didn’t know that I’ve never been help. Reminder this is the same hostess that sat me at my table. Also, the same waitress that watched me walk in and took the table right beside me. Obviously, they pick and choose which customer they’ll serve first. I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone. The hostess and waitress should be fired!!!!!
I ordered New York Strip Steak, it was a piece of rubber! I do not recommend anyone to order it. The food always comes greasy! Been there couple times, trying to give this place a chance, but Not anymore.
One of my favorite spots for a really good martini, love the kamikaze! If you go, ask for Catherine- she is an excellent server!
I had the steak bites and peach bikini kini it was amazing and my server Kat was great she checked on my table and made sure everything was good highly recommend
Was seated no problem but we didn’t get served after being there for 15 min a family walks in they were served right away we were told they didn’t see us but the entire time they kept looking back at our booth
Me and the gf took a trip to Twist in VB for date night and the tier of food and service was exceptional, Thank you Kellen we will definitely be coming back!
The staff was great. The food was awful. The steak tips were not bad but the sauce they came with was terrible. Taste like they put alcohol in it but didnt cook out any of the alcohol? The lobster sliders were the worst Ive ever had. The bread wasnt even good. It almost tastes like they mixed another kind of fish in with the lobster? I also think its very tacky that they specify on their menu that you must read ingredients carefully because they will not take a drink back unless it was made wrong. This place screams upscale in some ways but is not at all upscale and definitely not worth the price.
Luke was so friendly and exceptionally accommodating. Please if you want top notch service ask for Luke to be your server!!!
Delicious appetizers and incredible drinks! Unbeatable service from Kellyn! We will be back
Really enjoyed our meal at Twist in Town Center. Fun vibe and awesome martinis. Our server Sam was on point and made the night even more fun. Can’t wait to go back when in town!
Atmosphere is great great service. Thank you Kellyn we will definitely be back
If you enjoy being seated by a hostess at a table, then waiting in an awkward atmosphere for 20 minutes as servers completely ignore you but take orders from another couple who came in after you, this might be just the place for you! If, however, you like drinking water or other beverages, eating food, or doing anything else that one normally would do in a restaurant, maybe look elsewhere.
Great food and great drinks but the service was exceptional. Our server Sam brightened our day and hooked us up big time. Our kids can’t wait to come back and see her.
Had an awesome experience here! My boyfriend and I came for just drinks and Sam was our server. She was outgoing, enthusiastic, and made the experience wonderful! Highly recommended
Excellent service and excellent food. Will be back. Ask for Kellyn
Not impressed with the watery cocktails (Sazerac and Old Fashioned; did they use crushed ice to shake/stir?) and the greasy deep fried pita bread for the hummus.
They had ample seating options! We sat at the bar and was served by Kat and she was amazing and super friendly! I feel like she can make anything as our drinks were amazing whether it was on the menu or not!The oyster rockerfella was delish! Definitely would go again!
Food was good and the service was excellent.. we saw Anthony Rosano on the patio. It was a really cool Wednesday night
Greasy grilled cheese without much cheese- stale hamburger bun, for $14 each and a sneaky gratuity added in and. I one there cared.We went for Ynot Wednesday. They had live music which was great but the Cheese sandwich my friend ordered was so greasy it took two napkins to blot the grease off the bread, which was still soggy. Also it barely had any cheddar/ smoked Gouda. It was mostly two pieces of greasy bread with onions. My bun in the hamburger was so stale it fell apart trying to eat. We raised the grilled cheese issue to the waitress and she made no offer to re cook the sandwich and didn’t offer anything really other than “I’ll mention that to the kitchen so they are aware”. When we got the bill my friend noticed they already added gratuity but there was no mention by the waitress so it was easy to over look except the meal was so bad we didn’t have much food. I liked the vibe but it goes down as one of the worst meals ever In Virginia Beach. I won’t go back - not ever.
The burgers and steak we had were all cooked to well done even tho we ordered medium and medium-rare.
Kellyn was awesome! Great food, great drinks and a great atmosphere!
Steak taco and Korean pork taco were amazing! Chicken taco - less good.
Food & drinks are awesome! worth the visit, ask for catherine when you come in
The waitress indicated that she was not vaccinated and that she would not wear a mask.Update: While the first review was simply made out of shock about the COVID denial going on. This isn’t simply about the local laws, there is a chain restaurant selling standard measures of beer yards away where even the bus boys wore masks. Yet the management of Twist has twice insisted that they have been unfairly rated and they can’t control their staff or ask them to be COVID safe in any way.By the way most of the staff seem really wonderful. I would much rather be writing about that or the food than the big burley bearded man who came out to debate local laws angrily with the petit woman who had almost been won over to upgrade her review.We gave them a chance to win us over and the waitress did find a waiter who was vaccinated, but in the end the management decided that they really did want the rating they have earned.
I dont typically leave reviews however I have gone here a few times. I love their tacos and always have had great service. The last time I went 3/26/21 first warm Friday night of 2021; Twist was package in-fact everywhere was packed. Long story short the manager went out of his way to make sure my party was comfortable as we were seating out and one of us was starting to get a little cold. He also covered for our waitress being that she was super busy. Twist will always be an option in my book and look forward to me next visit.
Org. planned on going to yard house and saw this inviting environment and we were not disappointed!! The food was so amazing and hands down Malory was one of the best host we have ever had! She made wonderful selections on the menu from food to drinks and it was all delicious!! Happy bday Malory sending peace and blessings!!
My best friend introduced me to this place through her stories so I decided to bring her here for her birthday. We were seated in a timely manner and the staff all wore masks in accordance to the covid mandate. The staff was also quick with the delivery of our drinks and food and they were very kind and sweet to all of the people in our group I look forward to dining and drinking with you again the next time Im in the Virginia Beach area.
Good food, great costumer service, and nice vibe. (Cocktails area)
The ambiance is sublime...kudos to the bartender with the cool staion
Sam and Harrison were great! The drinks and food were phenomenal!
Best food in town! Great drinks, too!
Its got a great selection of spirits and wines but its not really a dining spot, more like a first-date kinda place. Expensive I think.
My Granddaughter has her 10th Birthday pool party at the Westin Hotel in Va. Beach’s Town Center and the girls had a great time! The especially loved the pool 🏊The staff was especially nice and very attractive to our needs! IThe pool water 💦 temperature was perfect and since her birthday is in December, she can’t have an outdoor pool party 🎈 ....this was just perfect 👌🏼!!! They were able to go swimming and have a ball! Xoxoxo THX AO MUCH ♥️🎉🎉🎉😉
LOVED THE FOOOD! Atmosphere was to die for!i had a really good time drinking and enjoying my friends company - we ordered the Pan Roasted Salmon - The Prohibition Burger - Chicken Buffalo Dip - and The Lettuce Wraps!!My friends had never been there - But they will be back with it without me!Highly recommend, either to grab some drinks or to sit down and enjoy a nice dinner meal 10/10 !
First time at Twist, and overall pleased with service and food. The food is absolutely amazing and same for the drinks! I had a martini with a gummy bear at the bottom and was exactly what I was wanting. The staff is very pleasant and got a table right away. We will for sure be back.
Food was great and Kisha was a great server who offered good food recommendations. Only issue was the Mojito was too much club soda for my taste.
Always love coming here with my girlfriend for taco night. Huge portions awesome hip atmosphere, this is definitely a spot if you’re looking for a cool scene and craft cocktails. Pat the bartender is a great mixologist and super friendly. Also if you’re into cigars join the cigar club upstairs. Glad this place is here to stay!
Wow! Everything about Twist is worth the experience!Ashley our server...made our experience perfect! Thank you Ashley!The food is phenomenal!The drinks are impressive!It was my birthday on a Saturday and we ended being on a wait for another restaurant for 50 minutes and decided to go into Twist for a drink while we waited. Wow! Im so grateful we did! They accepted our party of 7 without a problem and we enjoyed every second of our experience! I honestly do not enjoy town center but I will go back to Twist!
Super slow service. The drinks are good but definitely not worth $100... oh and my husband and I were automatically charged 18% gratuity and was not notified of this before hand. So you can imagine our shock when we got the bill!!! Mind you we were a party of 2!!!! A large party we could understand.. but for a couple that’s ridiculous. Save your time and money folks.. avoid this place like the plague. Very disappointed.
So many food and drink options, all very good from what I’ve tried so far. I’m glad they’ve added the oyster Rockefeller to the full menu. Everything was great and we’ll be back for the live music on Wednesday. Thank you for all of your suggestions, Ashley!
Unplanned visit. Turned out wonderful. Loved our waitress and the Black Manhattan.
The waiter sat or party in the lower level. We asked if we could sit in the upper level. Was told that the upper level wasnt open, but there were several customers ordering and eating in the upper level.Was told by the waiter to scan the code for the menu which isnt an issue, but your establishment has poor service reception in the lower level and it was difficult to do so. After our party of 5 were frustrated with the difficulty of getting reception, we advised the waiter. And he proceeds to say, oh yeah, theres no reception down here. We asked if we could have regular menus,, he came back with 2 menus...for our party of 5. After passing the menu around and deciding what to order, the waiter comes back and asks my 25 year old son, with a full beard and mustache, Maam...what would you like!! Not once, but twice!!!Needless to say, we advised the waiter that we had changed our mind and wasnt going to order and that we were leaving.We went a block over, up the steps, and had a wonderful Mexican meal with great atmosphere, excellent reception and superb staff!!!
Went with a group of friends and we were all very impressed. The drinks were crafted perfectly and all of the food tasted amazing. Our server, Sydney, was friendly and attentive. Perfect place for a girls night out!
Everyone is so nice here and the entree portions are huge (and delicious). Perfect place for a nice meal and great selection of drinks. Our server, Ashley, suggested the painkiller and it definitely killed my pain that’s for sure!!!
The Meals were tasty ! I had the salmon and my partner had the tacos. We both enjoyed our food and our drinks. Our server, Carolynn, was friendly and attentive. We will be back soon!
It’s a nice place in Town Center. Our service was super slow, maybe they were understaff out front which is a strong possibility, my server was a little rude and seemed annoyed with me because I was ready to go and just wanted my check. Now the kitchen did great! My macaroni sliders DELICIOUS and came out quickly for a Friday night.
Every time I come here I’m so happy. Tonight a rainstorm was approaching and I was warned but they still served us with no precaution. They value customer service and always provide the best food and drinks. I appreciate you! Thank you so much!
I ordered she crab soup. It tasted bland.
Went to Twist to sit outside and have a few drinks and smoke a cigar. It was 8 of us. Was told that they couldnt serve a party of 8. We stated that one of of the couples would sit at another table. We were told we cant serve you. Spoke to manager but wasnt satisfied. Emma did not come out to apologize and take responsibility for her unprofessional actions. I refuse to spend money at establishments that wont make their employees responsible for their actions.
I had carol as a server. By far the greatest service I’ve ever had. Food was great. Atmosphere was awesome. Hands down my favorite place to go in va beach.
Great atmosphere, amazing employees and great food. All in all a great experience!
So ask for the managers special sep menu and it has the meatloaf on it. I came in just for it. Late night dinner after work, if you like good food and martinis this is the place.
Ive been here a couple of times. The first time was with my wife and we had excellent service, food, and entertainment. The second time, was not a good experience. We were with a group for a birthday party (only 10 people). We were placed downstairs and the service was very slow. Server would disappear for 10-15 minutes each time. The house music was also turned up very loud! The rest of the restaurant wasnt very busy (we looked around). The last experience wouldnt turn me away unless it happened again. My wife and I will return again once everything reopens.
Hi my name is ms Williams and I wanted give a Big shout out to my waitress Carolynn, she was so help to me and my family, the food was excellent.
Sydney is freaking awesome 😃
Excellent Drinks. Good appetizers. Great service. Great atmosphere. Ive found a new place to hang out.
I had Very poor customer service as I was visiting out of town. I stayed at the Westin Hotel next door. Both ladies waitressing were not attentive and paid no mind if my table needed anything after ordering my first round of drinks. There were only two tables outside and both were attended to just fine. When I got tired of waiting to ask for another round I entered inside just to pay and leave. It was not busy and close to closing so there’s no excuse for the lack of attention. Please do better next time you never know who is at your establishment. Will never go there again sorry.
Had a great time! Amazing food and drinks and got a table fairly quickly.
Went on a Tuesday not realizing they also have Taco Tuesday. Tacos were amazing. So were the cocktails. Our group sat downstairs on the couches. Fun atmosphere! And our server was great.
The drink were were not up to par. I had a blueberry margarita, which was extremely tart. The waiter informed us after our party of four had our drinks & asked for the check that there would be an 18% gratuity. I have no problem tipping but gratuity is usually for large parties. Not a party of 4
Had the best experience! My BFF and I was dining out for her birthday. This was our first time eating there. Oh my goodness our meals were so good! And we had hugh portions. Topped it off with this monster dessert, special brownie, that was humongous! Our wait staffer Ash made it a great time for us. Thanks Ms Pat& Ms Bea
