    Nice woodsy decor. Tucked into the woods. It will be nice when the weather warms up and you can sit outside. The wine is Gervasi wines, so order what you will. Zin Zin and a Malbec for me. Dinners were Blackened Salmon, Creamy Tuscan Chicken, Meatloaf, and a Shrimp Carbonara. All meals were good and no leftovers were taken home. Good server. Nice place, however, I'd rather go the Gervasi's Crush House or main restaurant.

    First - place is beautiful & the service was TOP-NOTCH!! GF rolls!, GF French onion soup - need I say more?! To have a roll - such a simple thing but such a treat - and they were good rolls!!! Brussel sprouts - just get them, they were amazing! Now, my husband didn't love his pizza but if you're Italian from NJ then you expect a LOT from a pizza so he had a pretty high bar... however l, everything else was delicious and the GF brownie jar I took home and devoured before I could get a pic but believe me - sooo sooo good!

    We stopped at The Twisted Olive for dinner tonight and we had some delicious food! My wife got the gluten free French onion soup and gluten free crispy shrimp. She loved all of it! I got the Lasagna and it was absolutely delicious and I would get that every time! Our service from Kailey G was amazing and she was very attentive the whole time. Highly recommend you sit in her section. Always love grabbing here since it is a perfect date spot or place to celebrate your next birthday. 10/10 be sure to ask for a gluten free menu if needed !

    Wow, this is the best Italian place I have ever ate at. We were visiting someone at Kent and found this little gem. I wished we lived closer unfortunately, we live in Columbus, but we WILL be back. The food was fresh and homemade. The portions were big. The dessert was amazing. They have lots of selects of wines, some from there own vineyards! I had a lovely and sweet Moscato! There is indoor and outdoor seating! The grounds are beautiful the staff is friendly as well!

    The good news is this is much better than Olive Garden. Now to the bad news. Okay, in fairness the interior and landscaping is really well done. They have roughly repeated the architecture of their main facility. I do appreciate the lack of modernistic bland corporate design but architecture can only take you so far. The service and the staff are very good, friendly and want to make sure you have a good experience. The real problem is the food is mediocre. The lasagne is piled high with lots of sauce but there was no filling. The tomato sauce made the dish palatable but I really only got pasta noodles and sauce. The puff pastry meatloaf is a nice try at an Americana version of Beef Wellington. I like the concept but the execution was poor. The puff pastry was bland and might have been microwaved. It didn't have that signature flaky crust you expect with pastry. The meatloaf itself was good and the bbq sauce tasted like they made it. The broccoli side was not seasoned but cooked perfectly and the red potato mash was okay. Will not be returning and don't recommend

    Our first and certainly not last visit to The Twisted Olive. What a wonderful experience for my husband's birthday. We experienced outstanding service and delicious food! My filet was cooked to perfection, and so tender! My husband throughly enjoyed his scallops as well. We will be back!

    What an amazing restaurant. Everything was very pleasant. Our server, Jack, was extremely friendly and attentive. He gave some very good menu suggestions. The food was phenomenal and everything was prepared perfectly. This place should have a 5 star rating and I'm surprised that it doesn't!

    Hello Twisted Olive I wish my review could have been better, but also speaks the same sentiments of my meal and service on Friday. I have been to Twisted Olive on many occasions and previously always had superior service, expedited meal delivery and amazing food. Sorry, not this time. My wife and I were placed in the back by the bathrooms and listening to the hand-dryer for 2 hours. Yes two hours. Our server was very pleasant and attentive but unfortunately, food didn't come out so fast. Our salads were great and very large to be a "small". The complimentary bread had a spicy kick on top. The Brussel Sprouts are the best dish here and a Must Try. For our entrees my wife always gets the same thing "Short Rib" and she was very pleased with her meal. This time I wanted to try something different so I opted for the Pork Chop. I noted that it came topped with Bleu Cheese which I never heard of before paired with pork. The presentation was beautiful, but cooked Bleu Cheese was absolutely horrible, so I scraped it all off. Now let's talk about the protein itself. This was not a brined piece of meat. This was not a marinated piece of meat. It lacked flavor so much that I had to doctor it up with salt and pepper. Unfortunately the salt shaker had to much humidity and I could not get salt out; I had to suffer through my meal. No grill marks, no smoke flavor, not glaze. This was a Well Done cooked Pork Chop related to temperature so it needed some kind of sauce. The mashed potatoes were okay but the string beans were flavorless and seemed to be just blanched or lightly steamed.

    I went with my partner and my mom to celebrate a belated birthday. While it was quite cold outside, we were pleasantly surprised by the space inside. The restaurant has abundant seating across two floors with a large waiting area near the host desk. We were seated downstairs in a large, comfortable booth. The ambiance felt like a mix of Italian family-style and elevated wine bar. I had the chicken puttanesca, which was cooked perfectly. The chicken was juicy, nicely seasoned, a generous portion, and I couldn't get enough of the sauce. We also shared a large Greek salad and the loaded fries. My only criticism for either was the salt level on the loaded fries. Again, portions were fantastic and pricing wasn't too bad considering the quality of ingredients. This is a great spot to take family or to celebrate a special occasion. I hope to be back again soon.

We were in town for a wedding nearby and most of the family was staying at the hotel where the restaurant is located. Because most of the group was from out of town, everyone decided to eat at this restaurant located in the hotel to avoid transportation. We had the entire restaurant to ourselves with some other patrons at the bar. When our waitress brought just three menus for a party of seven and tossed a stack of Dollar store napkins in the middle of the table, with silverware on top, I should've known what was coming. The first three things I tried to order from the menu--soup of the day, chicken marsala, and broccoli--were all unavailable. Yes, three in a row! I finally ended up with a steak that I asked for medium, but it came out completely cooked through with no pink at all. Between the missing menu items, lackluster presentation, and poorly cooked food, the whole experience was a huge letdown. One thing they obviously had on hand was plenty of salt! I'm pretty sure we all consumed our limit of sodium for the week. One thing I can say is that all of the staff were extremely friendly and nice. I truly felt bad for our waitress. I gave the three stars based on the fact that the hotel uses the same area for breakfast and the server deserved five stars for breakfast. It was not a large buffet, but it was well presented and fresh (real scrambled eggs with cheese made on site which seems to be a rarity hotels these days).
