    A great meal and atmosphere. Really enjoyed their drinks as well! Pizza and salads and apps were so delicious and our server was great.

    Food was ok, not great. Chicken in my Mediterranean bowl was very chewy. Also the food was pretty pricey. We likely will not return.

    Such a wonderful first time dining experience last night! ImWe requested to sit outside because we had our huskies with us, and they were so accommodating. It was very chilly and they were very busy, so we were grateful they were able to take care of us. We had a slight delay after we were seated , but the Manager/ Mâitre’D addressed the situation with such grace! Our server, Megan, was absolutely fabulous!!! Our dogs loved their specialty trout dinner and we can not wait to return! Thank you so much for such a wonderful evening after a long day of travel!

    Twisted Laurel has stood the test of time, reinventing itself with each change in our community. Always great cocktails, delicious food and a fun energetic crowd of people. The Manager, Vince, is always cordial and welcoming. Its the perfect location for engaging in many activities.

    Didn’t live up to its high rating. Service and ambience were fine. However, the food was bland and tasteless. The trout had no flavor and I’ve had better tortellini from a microwave dinner at home. Unfortunately, just can’t recommend it.

    It was okay. If you’re traveling and staying downtown, this location is convenient, but the menu is pretty basic and generic, with limited options. If you want a better experience, I’d recommend visiting their sister property or the original location in Weaverville—they have a much better selection!
