   Awesome food and service. A bit crowded and noisy but that was kind of expected on Valentines Day.

   This was a birthday celebration and there were 5 of us. We got to sit next to the kitchen and watch the chef and crew at work. It was so exciting and fun to watch. The food couldn’t have been better, everything was cooked perfectly and tasted delightful. Would highly recommend this restaurant for consistent, delicious and exciting food. If you have a chance to try their home made ice cream- do so.

   We have been to Twisted Lemon a few times now. Once again we were not disappointed. From the chips to the desserts. Just wow. I will say we were a little disappointed when we were called back a second time and let down easy that the Chef's pass was previously booked By Chef Dan when we were told it was for us. None the less our table was very quiet and wonderful. We had the Buffalo cauliflower which was amazing. The flavor was incredible. I would have like the temperature of the cauliflower itself to be a little warmer. It was a tad on the cold side. My entrée of the pickerel dish came to the table. The presentation was beautiful. The flavors of the sauce and the wild rice with the beans were a great combo with the fish. The little puffs of I believe banana and Sweet potato were unusually good! My partner had the Beef tenderloin. She is a steak and potato girl, so would have enjoy a larger portion, but non the less enjoyed her meal thoroughly. We decided on dessert. And oh my! She order the chocolate buttertart with peanut butter ice cream. The flavors and presentation were incredible. I had the Banana bread cheesecake. It came out in the little crystal dish with lid which was so pretty. My first bite? was like my moms banana bread surrounded by the most delicious cheesecake I have ever tasted. Thank you once again for an amazing meal and experience!

   We were at Twisted Lemon for the first time a couple nights ago after hearing about it for many years. The food was fantastic. Chef Dan came and talked to a few folks including us and he was very friendly and down to earth. We sat right by the Kitchen Pass so we saw the chefs working away and the food going up for serving. We are intrigued to someday try the two chairs at the pass overlooking the chefs so you can see what is going on fully. If you are a foodie you need to give Twisted Lemon a try. Dan

   The beef tenderloin was excellent! There is no doubt about that. I found value for the meal to be pricey, even knowing going for the meal it wouldn’t be cheap. The scallops as an appetizer weren’t anything special, again considering the cost for what you got. I would recommend the food, but overall the experience was okay. For a special occasion; sure I would recommend it. But I feel their reputation is higher than it should be, just because of the lack of other real restaurants in the area.

   Always amazing menu with a twist to original dishes. We have visited this restaurant several times over 8 years ago and recently returned and not surprised to see it still remains on top of our fine dining list. Great service made our dining experience wonderful.

    We came here because our daughter gave us gift certificates about a year or so ago. It’s a little out of our way. Well....this is our new favourite restaurant. Everything is top notch. My husband also commented on how it wasn’t loud like other restaurants. We will absolutely be bringing friends here! Thanks so much for a wonderful experience.❤️

    My co-workers and I enjoyed a Christmas lunch together at the Twisted Lemon. We had a great time, the food was tops as always, and the music and mood was just right. I had a tasty Caesar salad for an appetizer and then the Grumpy Lasagna which filled me up! Thank you Chef and the team at TL for another great experience! Enjoy the holidays.

    Twisted lemon is one of our favourite restaurants to go to. The food and service is outstanding. We were there on Saturday for my husbands birthday and had the lobster ravioli which was decadent and the kangaroo and prawns which had a wonderful smoky rub accompanied with a blackberry reduction. The sweet and smoky flavours were outstanding. We love that Chef takes the time at the end of the evening to come around to the tables to ask how everyone is enjoying everything. It’s very personable. Also the drinks! My husband had a sour and I had a g&t and their speciality beverages are always a nice treat when we go there. We always recommend to our friends and family and living in niagara only make it there a couple of times a year, but when we do go we throughly enjoy it!

    ambiance was nice, table spacing ok. seats close to 60. the food timing was bang on for us, but could be considered slightly slow for others. The potato soup was delicious. The Ceasar salad was a little too plain, minimal bacon, homemade dressing was underwhelming. We ordered the chicken and waffles, and the 7oz tenderloin. The chicken and waffles was a nicely layered meal, both in texture and flavours. delicious and enjoyable for both of us. The tenderloin was a little disappointing for the price point - the potato croquette was designed to be the same size as the tenderloin and was tasty, and the fresh seasonal vegetables were good, however sadly the medallion ordered blue rare was overcooked almost to medium rare. Drinks were ok, asked for an 'off menu' margarita which they were not prepared for, so it ended up being a smaller 'cocktail' glass, but was still well done. The overall impression was that there is lots to offer on the menu, and this was our first visit. Not quite fine dining, but priced close to it. Our feel was that the portion sizes were ungenerous. We'll probably go again to try some of the other offerings on the menu, and I would probably recommend to friends. hopefully the next visit will improve on our 'first impression'.

    We had a lovely evening, worth the drive from Burlington. The only minor negative was the cold bathrooms, they had tried with heaters, but it was a very cold night! Loved the variety on the menu, presentation was great and everything tasted great. Thanks for a lovely experience.

    Such a wonderful dinner as usual. The scallops were perfect and I loved the presentation. I just had to take advantage of the lobster ravioli since it is not always on the menu and I’m glad I did as it was delicious. A special treat and just the right amount. Everyone is so friendly and the service is always supreme from beginning to end. Thanks again for a fantastic night.

    The food was absolutely amazing. There is no doubt that I will head back again. What a lovely experience. We were not rushed from the table even though it was the end of the night. The food arrived timely and was nice and hot. My daughter had said that Twisted Lemon was amazing and I definitely agree with her. If you haven't been before, your in for a treat if you do. The service was also outstanding. Nice to see the cooking taking place as well. Five stars for sure!

    We had such a great dinner. We had the duck taco and Ceasar salad to start which was phenomenal . Then we ate the deep fried lasagna and the tenderloin which was off the chart . This was our first time at the twisted lemon and the chef introduced himself and asked how everything was . We drove from Burlington to this place because we went to another location owned by them and it was well worth it . We will be back

    Food is always exceptional as are specialty menu and drinks. Service as well. Yet things are literally falling apart. I’ve never seen such chewed up chairs and mismatched decor. 1) paint 2) new chairs 3) update bathrooms It will seem like a brand new place!!! Twisted Lemon is worth this.
