This evening I came in to have my favorite dessert and a drink. When I enter the restaurant I asked do you have Breadpudding?" I was told "YES" with excitement I ordered it and guess what I was sitting next to one of the chefs lol . Needless to say when it came our my server said "This is the last one so of course I was grateful until I looked at the small bowl it literally LOOKED like the last one a scoop of pudding and the icecream was larger than the pudding. The taste was really good however, I would've preferred the offer of another choice than the scraps of it I love it here and I will return just a bit disappointed. I order bread pudding regularly here I know exactly what it should look like GREAT DRINK THO..lol read more

Two words: Oyster. Rockefeller!! One of the best I've had in the area and would come back just to try it again. We also enjoyed the calamari and the humus was pretty standard. Everything comes in large portions so come with an appetite or get ready to take some food home. The Korean beef bowl was listed as a starter option but it is definitely large enough for a meal and FYI, the chili glaze does give it some spice. I wanted to love it but I felt the beef was a little too chewy. My friend ordered the shrimp and grits and was unimpressed with it so I'd probably avoid ordering that next time. Our food did take a little while to arrive considering the amount we ordered but our server had a great attitude all evening so we weren't so bothered by the wait. Will definitely be back! read more

Was in the Town Center area at VA Beach for a comedy show and wanted to try somewhere I had never been. It was a Saturday evening and we were seated immediately. We sat in the bar area which might have been a slight mistake as it was very loud and we could barely hold a conversation. Cocktail menu has a good variety. I had a twisted punch which was pretty good. Then I had a classic margarita which was better. The other guests with us seemed to enjoy their drinks too. For apps, we got the Buffalo chicken dip, deviled eggs, she crab soup, and oysters Rockefeller. They took a really long time to come out. She crab was good... deviled eggs were good. Buffalo chicken dip was very tasty accept the pita chips were over cooked. The oysters had to be sent back. They were dry, over cooked, and burnt. Like burnt to the point they were charred. Apparently that's how they served them so we asked for a little less char but they were taking so long that our food came out and we told them Nevermind. Entrees - bourbon chicken quesadilla. Good but burnt lol. House salad - good. Fried wings - good but $14 for 5 wings is slightly excessive. And the more I think about it... $7 for a 1/2 size salad is too. Burgers were huge and no complaints from the person who got that. Shrimp and beef tenderloin pasta - ok. Overpriced. Overall - everything was pretty good. It's likely just high priced for the area. They just need to cook something a little less. read more

Had a great time with long time friends. Food was great and the drinks too. I just wanted to say our waiter Cooper was outstanding! I have not had service like he gave us in a long time! He made great suggestions and food came out timely for all of us. read more

Drinks are very well made and service is good. Minor slip up with the bartender giving me the wrong beer, but it was no big deal. Overall a great place to go for a nice well made cocktail. Will definitely return. read more

Drinks-Yum! Apps-good! 2nd round of drinks-yummy! 2nd round out of apps-really good! 3rd round of drinks - yummmmy! 3rd round of apps-really really good!!! I really enjoyed this place. We went for drinks and had steak bites, wings and meatballs. Our waiter Cooper was a huge plus. We even let him pick a round of drinks. The only thing is if you sit outside where people walk by plan on lots of smoke. Still I'd sit outside again. I do recommend!!!! Ask for Cooper!!! Go have a yummy drink!!!!! read more

The customer service could be better. On more than one occasion my friends and I have stopped by to have a drink. And each time, with the bar area, not full, have been stopped at the door & told it'll be a long wait. I'm confused. I don't want a table, I just want to go to the bar. Frustrated with being told in two separate visits that I'll have to wait 45+ minutes for a bar drink doesn't make sense. The only decent visit was with a reservation for dinner. Excellent food (folks in the kitchen know their stuff!) So I guess the moral of my story is to have a reservation for dinner and don't walk-in expecting to just grab a cocktail. read more

If you're looking for a classy & intimate place in Town Center Twist Martini I highly recommend it. It is such a cute place to go on a dinner date with your spouse or to have a Galentines Day dinner which my friends & I did. We were able to get a reservation, which is a big plus during COVID. Of course mask are required entering the restaurant & all employees we're wearing one. Our waitress Sam was phenomenal! She was very attentive & very informative with the menu. We had an issue with one of the meals & she was able to get it taken care of right away. Most of us ordered one of the Smash drinks & we all enjoyed them. The Peach Smash was really delicious if you like Bourbon/Whiskey. The entrees here are definitely big enough to feed two people so you definitely get your bang for your buck. I ordered the Korean bowl which is an appetizer but it was definitely consider a "meal portion". The pork was very flavorful & had a little kick, the rice was a little dry to my liking but I just mixed it in with the sauce it came with - problem solved! They had 3 choices for desserts & we ordered them all haha. Great portion sizes for the Brownie and Banana pudding. The Cheesecake was just a typical slice. This place was beautiful & the employees were really friendly even on a busy night. Huge recommendation for a dinner date with your spouse ! read more

I've been to TM before, so my mom wanted to try it for her birthday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I would say the lower area in the restaurant could use some tlc, tables need replacing (rocked, not stable at all) and a much better cleaning.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This was my first time in that area, previous times I was in the upstairs area sitting at a high top table. Service was great from the moment we walked in til we left. My party enjoyed the food, burgers, sweet potato fries, sea bass, pork chops, duck wings, crab cakes with shrimp, chicken wings and chicken Alfredo. The poor choice not cooked well was the pork tenderloin the birthday girl ordered, but the chefs were attentive and listened, replaced her meal with pork chops, which she enjoyed. I guess it didn't help that one of the persons in our party is a chef he was on top of it. The chefs kept a great attitude and like I said were attentive and aiming to make sure we had a great experience. I'll be back of course. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The rating would have been 5 stars however the downstairs area needed a thorough cleaning[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Chef Eric Williams did an amazing job and the food was delicious. He came out and we were able to meet him and let him know in person. Brooke our server was great also. I highly recommend Twist. read more

Came in on a Saturday at 515 with my husband and was seated right away. Had a lavender lemon drop martini & Moscow mule with blackened steak bites to start. Steak bites were spicy but so good. I had the Amish airline chicken and hubs had the parm chicken. The chicken was soooo so good. Finished it off with the blackberry lemonade but it was a bit sweet. Honestly everything was so good & staff was so kind. Will be back. Spent about $175 on 5 drinks, an app & 2 entries. read more

I had an incredibly disappointing experience at this restaurant for my birthday dinner. The manager accused people outside on the sidewalk of drinking, even though they were not with our party of seven. It was such an uncomfortable situation that we decided to leave and go to another establishment. It truly ruined what was supposed to be a special celebration. So it's amazing to me that your camera clearly shows people outside of your fence line which denotes outside of your restaurant space and it is shocking to me that you can say what somebody has in a cup. The police cannot even say what somebody has in a cup get over yourself you were totally wrong, and it behooves me that you can say somebody was smoking something when they weren't please show the camera and show the people outside of your fence line stop lying and tell the truth you're a shame to your restaurant. Use logic and not wishful thinking. Are you saying you don't do poor taste because we're African-American please explain to the masses. read more

I went for drinks with a friend and I had a Tennessee Honey and a Pain Killer. They were both amazing! Twist has a nice, chill ambiance and our server was great. I'm definitely planning to go back soon. read more

The atmosphere was nice and the service was good. The food is fine. The bacon jam burger was so sweet it tasted like a dessert burger and was not good. If the jam was more tangy maybe like a chutney, it would be much better. The fries were good too. The taco Tuesday is fine but it's not great. read more

Twist Martini - Shrimp & Beef Tenderloin Pasta - New American Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Good food and service, but the bar is obviously cutting its top-shelf liquor with cheaper juice. And they overcharge for it, to boot.

Food. Service and ambiance was great. Pricey but awesome service. Drinks were on point

My wife and I attended a private function in their downstairs private area and we were very impressed with both the food and the service. Their buffalo chicken dip with tortilla was delicious. Our group of 16 were served their dinners promptly and the drinks were always kept full. It was definitely a warm and casual atmosphere. Unfortunately I went on a night they were out of Seagram's Seven Crown Whiskey. That has never happened to me before. We will definitely be back. read more

I have been to this location three times within two months. Food is amazing and the drinks were good as well. I have had the lobster mac and cheese, shrimp and grits and the lobster Mac and cheese again . The service was fast two of the three times. The third time was probably an unexpected rush from the show that happened that night. Nice location and the inside was pretty clean. read more

First time here and first impressions always matter. Let me say Twist was a BIG hit with the family. All five of us got different dishes and everything was great. Our server was great and the food was superb! For me, it was the Jerk Chicken and this was by far the best I've had! Warning, when they say it's SPICY they're not kidding... but it wasn't just the heat, the flavor was through and through! They did this right! The drink menu had SO many choices... and all three of mine were great choices... this will definitely be a repeat visit next time I'm in town. read more

Skip Tupelo and go STRAIGHT to twist. Chef Ran is legit the remoulade is the best in Hampton Roads. The martinis were divine, the apps were exquisite, the fried chicken and funnel cake with hot honey was down south home cooking. The service was wonderful and I will be back on the regular!! read more

I ordered 4 drinks which were subpar. The beer battered shrimp I ordered had no taste and the oyster Rockefeller was overcooked and the meat wasn't tender at all. At 10pm we were chased out of the dining room and were told that they needed to clean it so we went into the bar to sit at a high top table so we could talk and the same female told us people were sitting there when it looked like they were done to us. So we moved over to the bar to sit down and the same woman told us people were going to sit there. We then moved to the lobby to chat and this crazy woman bothered us again! I raised my voice and told her we were chatting! We were in the lobby for several minutes and looked into the bar and the high table where we wanted to sit was empty and the place at the bar was empty? I told my friend that I thought this woman was weird. I think the lady overheard it? The bar was open for another 2 hours so what was the point of pushing us out the door? We will never go back again. read more

First time here. We decided to come here before a play at the Sandler Center. Decor is modern in the lounge. This restaurant is recently under new management. The staff was friendly and the server made a food recommendation based on her own preference. Both our food entries we really good tasting and the presentation of the food on the plates was very nice. The prices are very reasonable. This is must go. Well done, we I'll be back. read more

3rd time on a Tuesday and I must say, their taco Tuesdays beat most Mexican restaurants in the area; great prices seasoned and you'll be full off 2 if not 3 tacos. Bartenders are great, Harrison is a beast at his creativeness as well as Bre. But this time my waitress Cathrine was top notch over the the top service. Her interaction with my guest and I was like nothing I've ever experienced from a waitress. I'll post here pic below, unfortunately we ate our food before I got a chance to write a review because like I mentioned before their tacos are simply THE BOMB. But if you're looking for a spot for taco Tuesday this is it, I'll write another review when I decide to go there on another day. read more

Twist Martini - Our waitress Cathrine - New American Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Stopped in for a quick drink with my sisters for my birthday. The atmosphere was nice. Dim blue lighting and they had music playing. The menu offered great drink options and the bartender was cool. My first drink was a Crush and it was delish. Had the shrimp and crab dip appetizer with pita bread. What was odd to me was the dip was topped with cucumber & tomatoes. That wasn't indicated on the menu so I didn't know to ask for it to be omitted. Luckily, it wasn't much so I just took it off. Sadly, the pita triangles were burnt on the ends so I was only able to eat a few. We were there an hour before closing so it wasn't worth trying to send it back. Overall, everyone had a good experience and I would recommend it. read more

The food was very tasty! Salmon salad was huge! My daughter and I shared it and it was very filling! We ordered the chicken Alfredo pasta minus the chicken as our son is a vegetarian (limited vegan options) ... still was charged for the chicken pasta which should've been less but that's ok.... Lobster and steak medallion was good a little on the warm side.... They charge 18 percent for four people automatically... I guess that's ok? I would've gave 20 percent as our sever was nice. . read more

Service was bad and food is horrible. This was my favorite restaurant back in 2019-2020. I'm not sure what happen but the food, drinks , and service is now horrible. Don't waste your time, go somewhere else. read more

Well...well. Y'all know how I am about my food and I can honestly say this place was NOT worth it. $203 dollars later, and they add 18% gratuity to ALL meals. The drinks were subpar, when you you patron a martini bar, one would expect at least the martini to be on point, nope! 1. Shrimp...meh, seasoned better than any entre we had, but heavy on the tempura batter. 2. Oysters Rockerfeller ...ok 3. Lobster Mac and cheese, the best of all the dishes, but unseasoned and lacked salt. 4. Jerk chicken, where do I start, EXTREMELY spicy, missing that Smokey flavor that one would expect from jerk chicken. It was just missing the authentic jerk...everything! It was a wet, and more along the stewed spicy chicken type, definitely should not be called jerk. 5. Crab cake, with potatoes, taste like nothing and the fact that the plate was covered in old bay was a BIG NO!!! there seemed to be no binder, to hold that wobbly heifer together...it was just not prepared well. So in conclusion, don't go for the atmosphere, don't go for the food, don't go for the martinis, just don't go. If your palate isn't well versed then I'd say try it. Our server was nice, but seemed AFRAID to take back a lemon drop martini, food came out fast but I can't recommend this place. read more

I guess I'll just start off by saying I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. *Shrugs* It wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't worth mentioning to anyone I knew. When walking in there was no "Hello! Welcome to Twist. How many in your party?". I sort of awkwardly walked in to someone on their phone while they stared at me like, "can I help you?". They then proceeded to try and seat me at the bar while I waited for my party. Not sure why, as there was not a soul in the dining room. So I awkwardly sat in the bar, alone, waiting for my friend, being forced to talk to the 'well beyond wasted' (hence why I would have rather sat at my booth). The drink I got from the bar was actually delicious! It had bourbon, chai and lemon in it. The name escapes me now though. But I was pleased with that. Once my friend arrived, we were seated in the dining room. The dining room was small. Huge booths and some tables with yet another bar there. As we were waiting for our server, the smell of old cigarettes started to seep through. You could tell it used to be a smoking lounge. Our server greeted us and asked for our drink orders. When we asked what the fresh catch was he said there was none(boo). When we asked what the game of the day was (which was actually the entire reason I wanted to come here anyway-unique game) he said, "pork chops in a spicy sauce". Hm, pork chops. Really? And a spicy sauce? What does that even mean? At this point I was over the entire experience. Our server, although sweet, was entirely too unprofessional. As a past host and server for many years, I was rather annoyed. I would have been fired dead on the spot had I not memorized the daily specials and their ingredients by heart. There we other things that our server had done and the way they had acted that helped in my annoyance, but that was the last straw. *rolling eyes emoji* We ordered. The food came out. I had the Grouper and my friend had Tuna. The Grouper was ok, a tad on the dry side. And my risotto was a bit undercooked. Her Tuna was very good! I will give it that! Desserts were Nutella Ravioli and Creme Brûlée. I am not a crème brûlée aficionado, so to me it was good! Even though I read many reviews that it was not. The Nutella ravioli though was a disappointment. The "ravioli" were two huge puff pastries with a small dollop of Nutella in the middle. So, when we were eating it, it was about 85-90% puff pastry. Which, was terrible. The, what, two bites that consisted of Nutella were good! But that whole dessert needs to be rethought. And I wouldn't call it ravioli either. Maybe like "Nutella puff" or something. Braise actually has a really good chocolate ravioli in little ravioli pockets! It's so cute! And delicious. It's like little bursts of chocolate in your mouth! Mmm. I digress. So, yeah, won't be back. Bummer. read more

After a work xmas party at GB, our group was really excited to walk over to Twist and continue our celebration, but we were told they were having a private party until 10. So sadly we decided to just go across the street... but before we even made it there one of the gentleman who works there came out and told us the boss man had agreed to let us in! So thank you for that! We really appreciated! Our bartender last night was amazing! He made us some really great drinks and probably got me hooked on a new drink too. Great service and very friendly staff!!!! read more
