Best Seasonal Restaurants in Portage Lakes

This was our first time and we will definitely be back. We arrived early on Valentine's Day and expected that we would start at the bar. Surprisingly we got a table almost immediately. Our waitress Sara was absolutely exceptional and helped with all aspects of our meal. Everything from our cocktails to the tiramisu was so yummy. The calamari was very good. Our salads with the white French dressing was delicious. I had veal parm and my wife had veal Marsala and they were great. Large portions so can't wait for leftovers Just a wonderful experience with a real good bottle of Barolo

This was our first visit but we will definitely go back. We had the Twisted Noodles and a Crab Au Gratin dip for appetizers. Both good but the Twisted Noodles topped with seared tuna slices was our favorite of the two. Our dinners included the Crab Crusted Grouper and the sous vide Pork Shank finished with a dry rub, served over lobster mac & cheese. Loved all of it! Crème brûlée for dessert and we left with a new restaurant on our list of favorites.

We went to Twisted Olive for my husband’s birthday. The food was fantastic as always. We had a nice roomy booth across from a fireplace which was perfect. Our waiter was Garrett. He was friendly and efficient. We got the lemon brûlée cheesecake for dessert which was absolutely amazing. We will be back soon!
