Birthday Dinner #4 at The Twisted Tail

  The Twisted Tail

www.thetwistedtail.com/

This is a great restaurant with wonderful food. The drink menu is overly complicated. The Dining area is as dark as espresso. The food would taste a lot better if you could see the hard work the chef puts into it. Also the fact that the only bread they could offer for the mussels' broth was the roasted croutons type slices, sucks.
