Olive or Twist is an absolute must-try! The experience was 5-star all around—from the incredibly warm staff and owner to the delicious and creative food. We were blown away by the variety! The Beef and Cheddar Egg Rolls (a genius twist!) and the Gringo on 6th Taco are pure comfort food perfection. For something lighter, the Ahi Tuna Noodle Salad was fresh and zesty. The Beef Stroganoff was rich and phenomenal. Everything was extremely delicious. Highly recommend!

What an incredible night at Olive or Twist!
Tonight, Diane and I had the amazing opportunity to visit Rich’s restaurant, Olive or Twist, to sample some of the new items from his upcoming menu — and wow, did he outdo himself. From start to finish, the experience was top-notch.
Rich went above and beyond for us and truly showcased his creativity and passion for food. Everything he brought out was unbelievable — each dish better than the last.
We started off with his take on an Arby’s classic: a beef and cheese egg roll with his homemade “57 sauce” — a flavorful spin on the classic horsey sauce that was spot on. Then came The Gringo on Sixth, a chicken taco with pickles and cheese sauce that was bursting with flavor and originality.
Next up was the Ahi Tuna Noodle Salad — perfectly seared tuna over soba noodles with a sweet chili dressing that tied it all together beautifully.
Then came my personal favorite of the night — the Beef Stroganoff, made with tender short rib instead of a traditional roast. Hands down the best version I’ve ever had.
We finished with a Chicken Parmesan served with rigatoni in vodka sauce — comforting, rich, and beautifully done.
To top it all off, we enjoyed a few of their incredible cocktails: The Continental, The Changing Leaf, The Allies, and a classic Whiskey Sour — each one crafted perfectly.
A huge thank-you to Rich and his team at Olive or Twist for treating us to such a memorable night. Everything was phenomenal — from the service to the food to the atmosphere. If you haven’t been yet, do yourself a favor and go check it out.

This was my first time eating here. We had a couple of appetizers and the Pittsburgh Chicken Salad and all were very good. I saw several burgers as they were brought to different tables and I definitely will need to try one next time. They looked delicious! Our server was friendly and attentive as well.

Food was really good. Had the Pasta ala Vodka. Portion was a good size. Pretzel bites with beer cheese was great and the rosemary fries were surprisingly good. Martini was great! Waitress was efficient and kept our drinks filled. Would definitely go back again.

Great spot on a Saturday night! The music was amazing. Best singer I’ve heard in a long time. I ordered a Gin Martini. EXCELLENT. great atmosphere and our server was great! Get food somewhere else and come here for a drink and the music. I had the Olive and Twist burger with fries. Not great. Got to the North Shore Tavern and walk across the bridge to enjoy drinks here afterward. I seriously think the reason this place wasn’t packed on a Saturday night was the food. Great place overall.

After a long day of driving in the car, this gem
Within walking distance of our hotel proved to be the best place to grab some cocktails and apps! Out bartender Bill was an absolute doll and a true master of his craft! We had the Lavender Lemon Drop and cosmopolitans! We ate fried pickles that’s packed a punch! Service was super attentive but not too much! A must visit!

I don’t write many reviews but darn. We were beat and exhausted so we stopped for a quick dinner on our way home from the hospital.
My husband and I shared
The Pub Cheeseburger and Truffle fries with Pittsburgh Pickles for an appetizer!!! First the service was AMAZING I mean the absolute best! Then the food was absolutely delicious!!! Just a wonderful meal in a great atmosphere! The GM and I think lead waitress (if not well qualified enough to be) were both just so attentive and really made a rough day wonderful.

Olive or twist alwsys had good cocktails, liquor and beer collection, this is still true.
The food & ambience has declined over the years. We had calamari, patty melt on rye and red pepper quesadilla. All of the food was average except the fries ( which I didn’t order , I had ordered tots. Didn’t bother to correct the waitress). Overall, its an average place, there are much better choices around for food. If I have go back here I will go only for drinks.

The BLT was excellent. Instead of fries I had the tomato basil soup. You could really taste the basil. The gelato bomb was a great ending for any chocolate fan. Simply but delicious food

I’m giving everything one star simply because service matters. We were the to grab a small bite before seeing The Wiz and the food, service, and drinks were all great. Until we received the spinach dip and found it was more sour cream than spinach. We sent it back and while the sever asked did we want anything at that point were fine with what we had and didn’t want anything else since that was a disappointment. May I also mention our server was excellent it was her manager Brad who was not excellent. In fact far from it.
When we received the bill we noticed the spinach dip which we had all dip a corner of our pita into to try it but hadn’t touched after that was still on the bill. When we asked our server she told us her manager would not allow her to remove it from the bill. This is when Brad the manager enters the picture with a condensing and rude attitude. We asked why it wasn’t removed and he said it was their policy not to remove things that were not liked from the bill. When asked where said policies are posted he said and I quote:
“I don’t need to have it in writing.”
He also said very rudely “well I’m telling you in this conversation so that’s the policy.”
And also said “it was cooked properly and just because you didn’t like it doesn’t mean it gets removed from the bill.”
(Side note apparently the charge an extra 3 dollars for pita if you ask for more to go with your buffalo chicken dip. Yet another policy that went unmentioned and unwritten.)
We asked how it was a policy but is not posted anywhere on the menus, website, windows, or even the table. And he claimed yet again this did not need to be in writing and walked off with the same condescending attitude.
We asked to speak to him again and when I pointed out that if this is a policy it should be posted so patrons know before hand what the service entails and that even fast food and chain food restaurants have policies somewhere in their establishments he sneered and walked off.
Now I don’t know if Richard the owner believes in being rude or condescending to patrons but if your manger is any indication of you and how you believe customer service should be presented you all must be new to this industry. I get that when people eat a whole meal then try to get the meal taken off or reduced that, that is in fact an issue. But the customer expressing that they were displeased with something and not wanting anything else after that disappointment is an everyday occurrence in the industry.
I have eaten and many fine dining and what we’ll say regular dining a like and I don’t think I ever had a manager as rude as Brad approach me or my family. If this is what Olive Or Twist thinks customer service is I hate to see where you’ll be in a few years.
Also if you’re going to claim you have policies again the should be posted so people can discern whether they want to patronize an establishment or not. Not rudely claim something exist when there is no such wording written anywhere.
I know we will not be attending this restaurant ever again. And will be posting this exact review everywhere since I’m sure they will try to delete it at some point to save face.
