Very nice atmosphere, Pretty good food. – The atmosphere is very modern and a refreshing break from the usual cookie-cutter style mall restaurants. I felt as though the wait staff were pushing sales more than caring that we were enjoying our pricey meals. They say that Twisted Fork is a "dessert first" restaurant and that just tells me that they try too hard at marketing gimmicks.

Meh – Service was unprofessional. We had reservations, and after waiting 15 minutes past reservation time and seeing walk-ins who came in after us being seated, we reminded the hostess that we were there, and suddenly there was a table available. Napkins had holes in them. Food taste was average. The food was high priced for the amount of food received. Overall, an average restaurant that is priced like a nice restaurant.

Avoid the Bar – We've had several good experiences when dining at Twisted Fork, but recently had a poor experience when meeting friends at the bar. Service is very poor at the bar. Otherwise, we find the food is usually pretty good and the beer selection is very good.

Barely average – I am new to the area and always looking for places to go when visitors come to town. I felt the contemporary design was tired although the lay out was interesting. Concept is fun and the staff is great but the food was very average. Nothing terribly exciting on the menu and the food could have easily been served anywhere. Maybe too much time spent on presentation, which is important, but not at the expense of the food. I went for the draft beer list but there are not as many as listed on their website.

give it a chance – I have always loved michael deans. We went to twisted fork one night several months ago, and was WAY disappointed in my fish entree. Management was great, and took it off the menu. We were hesitant on going back though. 2nd time sold me! 1/2 price wine on Tues, with good wine list. Got free salad and dessert on Tues too. Sara, our waitress remembered our previous trip, and made sure all was right this time! Bread warm and VERY good. Excellent ambience. Can smoke at bar area. ALL of meal was SUPERB.

Much like my experience at other "Rocky Top" restaurants, the food here is quite bland, and too expensive for what is offered. All four of us were disappointed with our selections. Apparently, plain and simple food (you could quite readily surpass these entries at home) served in an uber-stylish atmosphere is enough to satisfy most folks, but we won't go back.

Nice atmosphere but not a good value. – Twisted Fork seems to embody what the problem is with most restaurants in the Triangle: Style over substance. The food is very expensive for what you get and is average at best. Even the desserts, which many rave about, are overrated in my opinion. Some are not very fresh and the price is very high ($6). The atmosphere is very nice-- great decor, lot's of energy, nice outdoor seating. Also, there are a variety of offerings, which is nice. But overall, I think it's no better than averag... read more

Great Food! – Though difficult to find, this restaurant has a wide variety of choices from pasta dishes to steaks, seafood, and pork chops. The freshly baked bread served before our meal was warm and very tasty. The ribeye was out of this world! The ceasar salad left a bit to be desired, but the house salad looked much better, with a variety of greens. Desserts were superb. The wait staff could have been more attentive.

Not worth the money – I went to the Twisted Fork for lunch with a friend. The food was over priced and the waiter for my friends order completely wrong. I wont be going back.
