Twist

I’ve been to this midtown sushi bar a couple of times, and have always left satisfied. It is absolutely necessary to make a reservation, else be prepared to wait for a good forty-five minutes or so. Twist is loud, chic and relatively expensive. It has outdoor seating as well as an extensive bar and saloon. This is not a family place. It’s pretty versatile though; a good place for a girl’s night out, to catch up with friends or for a hot date.

The service is quick and the complimentary assortment of breadsticks with the little mound of butter is absolutely delicious. Apart from their extensive sushi menu, they also have a regular menu with quite a few items that are worth writing home about. I have thoroughly enjoyed the Spanish style fried potatoes and the calamari. To me though, the most notable item on their menu is on the dessert section: the chocolate fondue, served with fresh fruits and marshmallows.

Twist is located at Phipps Plaza at Lennox Square. It belongs to same group that owns Noche, Posh & Strip, amongst others. If I had to use one word to describe all of them it would be ‘stylish’. There’s an AMC movie theatre in the same plaza; I think a midnight show is a good way to end the night.

Twist definately gets a G-Star.
