Twingo's is great! I had dinner there last week. What's the lunch menu like(options/prices)? Im assuming the dinner menu starts at 3 or 4. We arrived at 4, thinking we were going to get a sandwich before class. Not the case. No complaints though. The interior was adorable, and the food was great! | ||

I was actually pretty disappointed with the place. Went on the 20th and it was very hit and miss. I actually liked the old setup better- but it needed to be renovated to succeed. The bar service was great, but our waiter was very marginal- didnt know the menu and was fairly rude. Apps: mushroom crepes and crispy chicken were very good- but the brie fondue was weak. Entrees: Salmon was very good but the filet of beef was maybe the worst piece of meat any of us have ever eaten. The manager agreed that it was a misleading menu item as it was not a true filet- but a filet cut of beef loin - my guess is that wont stay on the menu long. Im sure once it finds its niche it will do well and I like the premaid lunch ideas for WSU students- but overall we were disappointed considering the build-up. | ||

I ate there Saturday night. Place was packed. Brought my own bottle of wine and was charged a reasonable corkage fee. I would highly recommend the mussels and chicken confit for appetizers and the steak w/ blue cheese and thinly sliced french fries.....very, very good. | ||

A friend or mine ate there recently and she said the waiter was one of the rudest people she had ever met in service. However, when I was there I enjoyed my meal - and I love bringing my own wine. | ||

Im sure once it finds its niche it will do well and I like the premaid lunch ideas for WSU students- but overall we were disappointed considering the build-up. I can understand why you would be disappointed. Obviously you can't read. I had the filet of beef "strip-loin" and it was fantastic. "Strip loin" meaning the part of the animal and "Filet" meaning the style of cut. Your comment has kind of made you look un-educated. I have a feeling that the manager most likely agreed with you knowing that you didn't read the menu and deep down you needed in the worst way t make yourself look like a fool. If you enjyed the old set-up more than it is also very obvious that you enjoy microwaved food. I worked in the kitchen at the old twingo's and guess what? Everything that came out of that kitchen was microwaved. I think a lot of you self made restaurant critics out there need to stick with TGI Fridays and Applebees. | ||

wow. that's tuff. THe manager actually agreed that the menu item was misleading. He mentioned that it wasn't the first time someone mentioned it to him, and that he actually agreed that we were served a bad cut of meat. As for the old Twingo's, I mentioned I liked to old set-up better, at no point mentioning the quality of food. It's a shame I look un-educated to you. Perhaps providing feedback to a restaurant that was only a few days old was an un-educated ploy on my part. I was only thinking that other un-educated fools like myself might misunderstand the menu wording and therefore be disappointed. I'm glad your meal was great, perhaps a byproduct of our comments that the cut of beef was subpar. (Message edited by restoretheroar on February 13, 2006) | ||

No, he is obviously a HIGHLY educated restaurant kitchen worker. FYI-- If you want to show off your superior literary skills, you should capitalize proper nouns (i.e. "twingo's") and proofread ("t" and "enjyed"). That'll really show 'em. | ||

Recently I returned to Twingo's for dinner. I had the filet of sole special. I was very unhappy when I found out it was a fish and not a beef dish. The manager agreed that it was a misleading special and that it was a filet of fish and not a "true" filet. | ||

I recall saying that my meal was excellent, and have referred many people to go try it out. Realizing it was opening week, like any restaurant, there were tweaks to work out, and thought it would be respectful to let the managers know, objectively, our thoughts. Some of your personalities on here are just brutal. Not trying to be abrasive here, but I hope for nothing but the best for Twingo's, and will continue to patronize it as well as refer other to it. It will be a vital cog for the neighborhood. | ||

Thank You RTR...You don't want to piss off the restaurant mob, because we ALL know each other, and our loyalty to one another is legendary. I just called off the hit on your food at Forte, Slows, Twingo's, Tribute, Union Street, etc...Just kidding (or am I?). Your post number leads me to believe that you are, in fact, the "Antichrist of diners", as described by your waiter. Give Twingo's another chance and I am sure you will be pleased. | ||

Because something is referred to as a filet it automatically indicates beef? If you're basing your review on your own stupidity, then you may want to ask next time you order something that you're unfamiliar with... Just a suggestion. | ||

I was in there for a delicious brunch on Sunday. The food was good. The decor is a bit less bright. -Spoke to a guy who seemed to be in charge and he pointed out some of the structural changes... No more awkward wall upstairs, larger bar. Anyway... good food, but the coffee lacked that little bite of cinnamon or whatever they used to do to make it yummy. | ||
