Twisted Tavern

Place is nice and the staff is friendly. I thought it was weird that they doubled the menu appetizer prices when using a Groupon. This wouldn't been a issue but we ordered an extra appetizer and they charged double the price of that item as well. This is to bad because the place seemed cool. I most likely will not return.

Updated: I give 4 for the food and 5 for the atmosphere. I love the chill vibe. Spinach dip is terrible but the pretzel bites are awesome so I'm torn. Prices are a bit high but it's always chill and cool so I'm willing to pay for that Also I really like the male bartender who is always here. He's super nice and chill.

On a Saturday night at 8pm, we were able to get a table without a wait at this spacious restaurant (the night club is in the rear). We ordered the fried duck legs (with a sweet sauce drizzled with balsamic), pretzel bites with poppy seed dressing and cheese sauce, fries ($6!), grilled cheese short rib sandwich, deep fried chickpeas, Michigan salad, and tacos. Although the plates took a while to come out, the food was great, especially the duck legs and chickpeas. We spent about $40-50 with a glass of wine each per two couples. Definitely a place to come back to on a weekend night for dinner.

TL;DR: Nothing about this place was horrible (except the Caesar), there just wasn't anything very good about it. This was one of the only places that our group of 10 could easily get a table at 8 on a Friday night. Perhaps that should have been a sign. Service: We ordered drinks first. When the beers came out, the waitress mixed a bunch of them up. We ended up sorting it out by doing taste tests and didn't think anything of it at first; everyone makes mistakes. When our plates and silverware were brought to the table, they were simply sat down at each end of the table and left there. Again, small problem, but she could have distributed them for us. Throughout the meal our waitress wasn't nonexistent, but I felt like the woman bussing our table came by more frequently and asked us about our night more often. Food/Drink: One of the mixed drinks we ordered had balsamic vinegar in it. Kudos for experimenting, but it was gross. The waitress was willing to take it back, but she still put it on my final bill until I asked to have it removed. A couple people at the table ordered Caesar salads. Both of them had the worst dressing I have ever tasted on a Caesar. Zero flavor, and for some reason watery? My vegetarian sliders were actually good, and other people seemed to enjoy their food, but the Caesar was the glaring exception. When our bill finally came, she combined it all into one. She did split them up when we asked, but left the 20% gratuity on there. She is lucky/sneaky because I probably wouldn't have left that much if given the option.
