Went Tuesday evening with my friend. They were participating in Queen Village restaurant week, 4 courses.
I ordered a maple old fashioned and my friend got the zero proof chili margarita from their cocktail menu. Both were very good.
Every item we ordered came out very well plated with an even better taste.
There was a gentleman performing and I must say, we really enjoyed his music.
I would definitely recommend giving this place a visit.

This place is very cute. I came here with a friend for dinner (and to celebrate my birthday). The drinks are good. The food was delicious. Our server was phenomenal. The desserts were good, but average. It was so cute that our server out a candle on my dessert. I would come here again and recommend it to friends.

Wonderful atmosphere and exceptional service! We enjoyed live music and chef’s tasting menu at slow and pleasure pace. The cocktails were fantastic and out server was one of the best we’ve ever met! Highly recommend for a laid back evening with wonderful music and food.

We went for a quick bite and some drinks. The waiter was very friendly and attentive, and the vibe was really nice.
Unfortunately the only good food were the oysters and popcorn. The taco was literally a whole chorizo and pre made cold tortilla with very minimal cheese, but the sauce was good. The octopus and potatoes were cooked well but tasted a bit odd and sort of dirt like?
Again, the service was really good and everything was plated well! We did only have a few things and may have just gotten the not great part of the menu so I wouldn’t completely write this place off.

The food is decent for brunch with a wide variety – but it’s pretty dark inside given the atmosphere (think like an English or Irish pub vibe).
That said, they had a musician come in to sing jazz and play the keyboard, which was LOVELY. A very good brunch vibe, just wish it were a little more well lit.

I went here for Brunch with a few friends and the Twisted Tail was definitely worth it. The menu is extensive enough to cater to all different types of food palattes. They also have Champange sundays which was fun in which you pay 20 bucks for a bottle of champagne and the juice is free.
They offer non-alcholic drinks as well, which were a bit pricey, but gives another option for people if they do not wish to drink.
The food came out quickly and all tasted delicious. I want to come back for dinner to see how it compares.

Excellent happy hour! Must try the crawfish Mac and cheese! Also tried the oysters, burger, and pork belly sliders. All were delicious.

Okay, so the Jam session was great- real
upbeat and filled with joyful noise! However, the food left alot to be desired. The price/serving ratio left us on the losing end. The pulpo or charred octopus, was teeny-tiny and cold, served with burnt potatoes that tasted of teflon and oil. My husband ordered the fried chicken for $30. His meal came with fried sweet potatoes that lacked sweetness and creaminess, but had distinct earthy flavors that I could not vibe with.
There was a game room upstairs that was poorly lit with an overwhelming bad odor, similar to an unwashed booty. There was also an unattended bookbag in the corner filled to the brim with clothes. No surprise, we turned around and left just as quickly as we entered.
I don’t believe that we have any plans on returning for dinner, perhaps eat elsewhere and come for the show? We shall see.

Christina H was our server, and she was so sweet! She was very knowledgeable about the menu, and even though I wasn’t too hungry, she helped me navigate what foods were good portion sizes for that. The live music was phenomenal and such a vibe. Sitting in a piece of history is remarkable! Cannot recommend this place enough, we had a lovely time!

It doesn’t get much better then this establishment. Went for brunch and was grated warm and friendly. Asked for their bourbon card and even read the profile that you prefer. The selection of whiskey was outstanding and with do many options, why not have a drink around bourbon card for keeping track and trying new spirits. Mixed drinks where delicious and the food came to match that. Outstanding place nestled inside the track shape for parking. The gentlemen playing guitar kept the mood chill while you enjoyed your pours. A little dark ambiance for my taste for brunch but that was it. Fantastic experience and will be frequently going.
