The food was delicious, and came out quickly. Our server was very kind and attentive. They have two different bars and you can get a drink and walk around outside while you wait for your table. I would definitely recommend making a reservation to guarantee being able to get in at a specific time. It’s the perfect place for a date night or to celebrate a special occasion. We highly recommend.
I had ordered the braised short ribs and they were amazing. They were tender and juicy. I highly recommend this restaurant for a special night out. They are a little pricy, but the food is worth it. There were five of us at dinner and all of us loved what we ordered.
Food was excellent, great portions! If you leave hungry there is something wrong. Friendly staff and beautiful view

We were in Canton for a wedding. My wife was looking for a nice place for lunch and we found the Twisted Olive. It was not far from our hotel and kind of hidden away. We had a wonderful meal with family at the restaurant. All of the food was so good. I started with an Italian salad. I ordered the small salad and it was huge so l ordered the meatball appetizer as my entree. They were excellent. We had a nice view of a lake right outside. The place was huge and looked like a great place for an event. They had their own wine with many options. I tried a few of the options and the wine was all pretty good.
First time there, for our 10 year anniversary! Absolutely delicious and Sarah our waitress was on top of the whole experience! 10/10 recommend.
The atmosphere and service were excellent. The food and dining experience was great as well. I recommend the shrimp carbonara and the apple and dried fig salad. Their table rolls are fresh and delicious and the butter is a whipped herb butter that pairs well with it.
Everything was excellent, from start to finish. We celebrated my daughter's 19th birthday, and had a great time. Food was original, with great combinations you won't find just anywhere, but with plenty of recognizable staples for the picky eater. I made advanced reservations, including a request for easy access because my sister is disabled, and they put us almost directly inside the entrance on the main floor, making it super easy for her to get to. Overall a great experience.
Wow. It's dangerous that I live so close to this restaurant. I just moved to the area and have been texting out many restaurants - this one is EASILY the favorite. First of all, this is the only place I've been with a THOROUGH gluten-free menu. I'm not GF nusekr but am always on the lookout because of close friends and loved ones who are. Almost anything you want on the regular menu can be found on the GF one. And they are so used to serving GF guests that they ask you when you arrive if your table needs any GF menus. Even the bread for the table comes in GF, so you will never feel like you're missing out. I tried my friend's GF options, and we both ate the GF bread, and we were both astounded. Nothing tasted like typical GF. There was NO sacrifice for flavor, texture, or quality. We actually had to ask our waiter, "This is the gluten -free bread??" And my friend was so excited to be able the at tiramisu. She said she felt like she was breaking rules for the whole meal...it was just such a sweet experience. On that note, service: Impeccable. Joe made recommendations to both of us based on our preferences and was even honest about his personal favorites. Everything he suggested was spot-on and I'm so grateful. He was patient, kind, and attentive (without being overwhelming). He really made it a wonderful night. Some final details: You will love the atmosphere. It's a beautiful place. It's clean, including in the bathrooms. They have mocktails in addition to cocktails. The brussels sprouts (regular and GF) are the best vegetables you will ever eat in your life. And definitely do make reservations if you can - they fill up!
I recently moved from WY and discovered this restaurant by accident and I am SO glad that I did. I decided to visit the restaurant for my birthday a few days ago (4/23) and what a surprise! The atmosphere had a modern and elegant feel to the space. I am glad that I made reservations. I truly enjoyed sitting out on the deck looking upon the Springtime views. My waitress, Maria, she made me feel so special and her ability to anticipate my needs was remarkable. I LOVED the all gluten-free options! The GF rolls were so delicious. Confession- I had so many of them, I really didn't have room for the main entree. The GF shrimp/lobster pasta dish was presented with an artistic flare and SO scrumptious. It was such a wonderful experience and I will be back.
