"This was my first visit to the restaurant, and I had heard wonderful things about it. Unfortunately, we had one person in our party who doesn't eat seafood, and there were no appetizers available that didn't contain seafood. Additionally, the Oscar-style steak we ordered had crab shell in it, and our waitress never came back to check on us. We also ordered drinks, but they only arrived after we were ready to leave."

"The food and service here is fantastic. I ordered an old fashioned from the bar and the balance of flavors was perfect. It was even served with one large ice ball. We shared the delicious marinated olives. The crostini was lightly toasted and beautifully displayed. I ordered the sea bass tacos and they were rich and delicious. The real show stopper was their Ad Lib burger. The pretzel bun, dijonaisse Vermont cheddar, truly one of three best burgers ever. Their fries and chips are fresh, made there goodness. Go. This place is great you won't be disappointed."

"eating was great, drinks were great, atmosphere was great. only the reason I gave four stars is because we sat on their "indoor terrace" which was really in the foyer of the office building. although it is a very beautiful place, it takes itself from the restaurant to feel a little. so good!"

"To start, our waitress Grisella was pleasant, professional and courteous. The reason for three stars is that I ordered a patti melt and asked the waitress if I could have a turkey burger instead of the standard beef burger that comes on a classic patti melt. She said, “So, you want a turkey burger on bread?”. I said no. The patty melt comes grilled, on rye and melted cheese and onions. She said, “well you can have whatever kind of bread you want on your turkey burger”. So I said, I want rye, like is supposed to be on the patti melt. She said ok, and asked what kind of cheese, and told me, “because its technically a turkey burger, it will come with lettuce and tomato as well, is that ok?” I said sure. Well, I was served exactly what she said, a turkey burger on bread, and NOT a patti melt. I was disappointed that Grisella didn’t understand the difference in the menu items. The sandwich was fresh and hot, but not what I wanted. I understand the menu is huge and perhaps it’s difficult to know all the ins and outs of every single dish, but I have also worked in restaurants for many years and know there are special modification options on the ordering systems that easily could have asked for a turkey burger substitution."

"This was our first time in Twisted Vine Bistro. The food was fantastic! The ambience was what an upscale wine bar should be. Our server Lindsey was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. My husband and I shared our meal. We had the tuna and onion soup first. Both were excellent! I ate most onion soup from which my husband was not very happy! It was so good, I couldn't stop!! We split a wedge salad, the fillet. The cook shared our meal on 2 plates without asking us: very nice! The fillet was perfectly cooked, medium rare, and came with baby vegetables and potatoes that were special! We don't know what was in them, but they were good! We had our meal with a flourless chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream, strawberry and whipped cream. It was embarrassing and deceptive! We enjoyed every moment! Thank you for a great night, Twisted Vine Bistro!"

"We waited a very long time for our appetizers, and while just starting them, our entrees came out. The waiter seemed puzzled that we didn't want them right then, but took them back. When we finished our appetizers, our mains were brought back, and obviously had just been placed under heat lamps while we were eating our appetizers"

"We enjoyed the guacamole and salsa. The medium guacamole and it was fairly spicy. Each person ordered a different kind of enchiladas and tacos and then we traded around so that everyone could try several kinds. We were severed quickly which would be good for people who have an evening engagement. Our only complaint was that it was quick noisy which made it difficult to hear each other at our table."

"Hubby and I ate here on 12/30 while in town for the Vikings game. We really liked the food and the service was great. We both had the prime rib sandwich. I also had the cheese curds which melted in my mouth! The only thing we didn’t like was the automatic 15% service charge to all checks and that doesn’t include the tip for the server!!! A simple lunch turned into a $100 meal. We didn’t have any alcoholic beverages either. I likely won’t go again but glad I experienced a Minnesota staple!"

"Not my kind of place. The bar / tavern had screaming, loud customers on a day when there was no one around. Really a tasting menu, teen plate, teen servings, bad value for money. The waitress told me that the green peppers in my clam chowder were mild - they weren't and had to spit out with a burning mouth. Really embarrassing when I was treated. Instead, they gave me asparagus. Your only vegetable. They didn't notice that my water glass was empty and I had to request it. Backless benches to sit in the tavern / bar, but you can request an uncomfortable chair. Not a place where you, like me, eat a lot of healthy protein and vegetables. I don't like leaving a restaurant where I feel bloated with too much food, but I don't want to go hungry either. The coffee was good after the meal."

"This evening was a disappointment in every possible way: Service, Food, dessert. Crab month- soft shell special(s). Opted for Oscar, after a considerable amount of time after ordering, apologies that they were out. 2nd choice crab cake sandwich. Possibly the worst. Picked at it. Could not eat it. French fries over seasoned, fish chips likened to greasy frozen cod. Have had numerous great meals here in the past however this was our first visit since last August. Friends had Mother’s Day brunch that was equally disappointing. Wondering how could this lovely local restaurant could be this different?"

"Excellent experience. Mike's catered an event for us and everyone was delighted with the quality and quantity of the food. The delivery was on time and everything tasted fresh. There was so much food that we didn't even notice that we were missing a tray of fruit. Unbeknownst to us, Mike realized the oversight and went back to the restaurant to retrieve it. We appreciated the extra miles, literally, he put into it to make sure we were happy."

"We had a 5 pm reservation and were seated at 4:55pm. Server got our drinks and we said we were ready order and she said she would be right back. We did not see her for 10-15 minutes (She had another section her 1st night she said).In the meantime, multiple tables were seated in a row and when we were given a new server, no one knew who was seated first, so our order was not taken until 5:30pm. Multiple tables around us that were seated after us had their orders taken and got their food before us. I do not blame the waiter. He was wonderful and hustled and did all he could in the situation. I realize that it is hard to get help these days and they were obviously short staffed, but I think some training needs to be done with hostess staff or something put in place to let wait staff know the order guests were seated. That being said everyone was friendly. Now on to the food: They used to serve bread, unsure if that is the case anymore as we didn’t receive any. My walnut salad, which is supposed to have goat cheese according to the menu, came out with Gorgonzola, so it had to be replaced. We ordered 2 meals to eat there and 2 to go entrees. When we received those, one of them was missing the salad, so the server had to go retrieve it for us. The 2nd one we realized after getting home (ordered blackened salmon blt) was supposed to be on wheat according to the menu and it was on marble rye. I would also say the dishes that were on special that we had ordered could have used a little more of the lemon garlic sauce/was dry. We want to try again sometime, but I hope management will take into account the things that need to be addressed/improved upon as this was not our best experience nor our first at Walnut. I know everyone is trying to do their best we just hope they will take note. The reason I put a low score for value is due to the time we had to wait and the incorrect items. The bill was well over $100 for 4 meals before tip and no appetizers or dessert ordered."

"Over the years I have been to Artisan many times. The restaurant always seems to able to evolve so it never feels the same or old, or as expected. Last night was no exception. The wine list has evolved, the menu has new choices. I wouldn 't call it a value menu but the dinner we had was luxurious and yet fairly priced. But the most outstanding part of the evening was the service. All the staff was quick to help, but also understood our requests effortlessly. Even a broken glass on the floor at the next table was quickly dealt with and the Maitre 'D stood by to make sure no one stepped on any of the glass. I wish many of the other CT restaurants had service staffs that were as sharp. We both ordered steak but we had two different kinds, a nice menu touch. One was hanger steak w sauce, one was NY Strip. Our potatoes were delicious, We skipped dessert but had a whisky from the very nice list. A perfect winter evening."

"Bartender or manager was rude, not accommodating, I have watched many games at this place and having an “audible experience” , however, the manager was in a bad mood and declined to raise the volume despite the restaurant was empty. She didn’t even make an effort keep us when we said we have to leave to watch the game Somewhere else"

"Upon our arrival, our coats were checked at the door, and we were seated promptly, even though we were a few minutes late due to road conditions. Our waitress, Sonya, was incredibly helpful, polite, articulate, and friendly. She provided us with detailed information about the menu items, and despite the great descriptions, we had more questions. Sonya was amazing! We really appreciated her service. The drink menu was impressive as well. For appetizers, we ordered raw oysters and fried calamari, both of which were delicious. Now, onto the main event: the steaks! Being from the South, we have a deep love for beef, particularly steak. All four of us agreed that the steaks were phenomenal! Three of us had the 10oz Ribeye, and one of us had the 6oz Filet Mignon. They were seasoned to perfection and cooked rare, with presentation that was impeccable! The steaks were incredibly tender and practically melted in our mouths. We shared the generous side portions, and we loved the Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes. For dessert, we indulged in the lava cake, which was truly heavenly! We couldn’t have been more satisfied with our experience. We definitely discovered a hidden gem in New Haven. Once word gets out, I’m sure it won’t be as easy to snag a reservation."
