    The hostess was warmly welcoming with a smile. I asked her twice but forgot. The bartender was kind, attentive, patient and so hospitable. And she was cute!!!! She made me a just about perfect old fashioned. I had a house salad with salmon blackened medium rare accompanied by the lamb meatballs with a house made yogurt. Everything at Twisted Olive makes you want to come back!!!!
