Restaurants near International Friendship Park

My party of four had a great evening at Twisted Tree. We enjoyed the wonderful service, terrific food and were able to have good conversation. Thank you for the excperience!

The food and wine were terrific as always, and our server, Teresa, was charming yet truly professional. The only "knock" on our review is the proximity of our table to the bar area. The restaurant has a low ceiling without sound dampening and the noise level was, frankly, annoying. To be fair, we were able to disregard that (for the most part) and had a nice evening.

Our waiter was wonderful. He has waited us on a prior visit and is outstanding. My memory is horrible these days, and I can’t recall his name. It starts with an “R , he also has a note-worthy mustache and is a sommallier. If he waits on you, you are in good hands. A special thank you to this gentleman for making my mother’s birthday dinner so memorable!

The beet salad in Barada was phenomenal, great calamari in the filet mignon entrée was amazing! We didn’t care for the crème brûlée dessert custard tasted like orange Lacore or vodka

Great stop to get gluten free meal before Christmas Eve family party. Busy crowded staff still friendly. Glad I made reservation a while ago. Always recommend.
