Oliver's Twist

QR codes and bad service. The guy with the beard was nice.Still, avoid these QR code only places.

It's kind of hard to decide what to eat from Oliver's Twist if you look prior before going. The menu looks quite a bit different if you look at the website online versus what the QR Code has on the menu when you get there. Some things are the same but not many.Oliver's Twist is more like a cocktail bar and while we didn't get any of those and just focused on the food we didn't leave disappointed. I ordered a noodle dish, a vegan version of it. Sorry, the name of the dish escapes me so I apologize. If you like the picture in my review and decide you want it I'm sure the server will know by showing it to them.My noodles were good. The green onions always add a ice touch to these type of noodle dishes. My dish had a lot of soy sauce, maybe just a bit too much actually but it's only really noticeable when you get towards the bottom of the bowl.Much of the food has a fusion approach to it or at least to me it did which always add a new spin to more traditional recipes.

Funky little place with a nice vibe. We had beers/wines and a few small plates, It's a trendy little place with a few creative dishes but nothing grabbed me with a sense of 'on my gosh you have to come here more often'It was my birthday and my daughter had invited me to visit. It was her way to show me around and check out restaurants, bars and such. While it was not in the least bit disappointing, at the next visit I might not remember this place.... That's the kind of place this is.

Can I just say that I absolutely love that this place is open until midnight. There aren't many places around with great food, a great patio, and open late. They recently changed their menu, and this steak dish my partner and I had was excellent. The slaw is onions, garlic, green onions, and tasted almost Korean. I would suggest getting rice with it, but that's just my preference. There are no fillers as-is, though! Which is always nice. On warm evenings, they open the restaurant windows and it's an indoor/outdoor feel. They also have 3 large patio tables available. The service is ok, nothing special, but not too bad. Will be back late-night to try the drinks and grab more of the shrimp chips (so good)!

"My" drink was delicious. Not sure what it was because my friend and I accidentally ordered what each other truly wanted so swapped drinks upon first sips. All I know is that it was mezcal-based. I had the grilled cheese and tomato bisque which was so rich and hard to finish, but I gave it my best. The soup was really flavorful, and I enjoyed the saltiness of the sandwich bread. My friend's vegan char siu sando with shrimp chips looked awesome. Love the cozy atmosphere and dim lighting. Our server wasn't friendly, per se, but he was great about answering our questions and checking in on us during our meal and otherwise leaving us be. Major downside is coming home smelling like their kitchen. I noticed it got pretty smoky while we were there and sure enough I had to come home and take a shower. Thumbs down to that aspect, but thumbs up to everything else.

Update 2021:Something soooo good to have come out of the pandemic. The flavors are so easy to like. Chicken rice or noodle bowls are packed with refreshing flavors, not overly heavy. Spring or eggs rolls, can't go wrong. When the short rib or Congi are on menu, you must try. The country bowl (8/2021) is so rich and , deep with flavor. And of course you can't go wrong with a classic Oliver's twists cocktail. My go to is a pisco sour or maylie. Thank you Olivers twist for continuing to adapt and serve up amazing food and cocktails. The staff are the best!

We wandered in later in the night, close to the time the kitchen was going to shut down. We were seated in the back and tried to get our order out in a hurry. The place was really dark inside and we were all squinting at the menus. I ended up going with a shaken beef bowl. The food came out quickly and I was pretty happy. Super flavorful, with lots of different textures. It was a nice selection for quick, late eats. It's out of the way for me, but I would come again.

Perfect date night spot. This half bar half restaurant has a nice and mellow ambience with a great R&B playlist to set the mood. Drinks are delicious and food is comparable to some of the traditional Cambodian dishes I grew up with. Get the Beef Loc Lac - a delicious and savory dish that will fill you up even without the sauce! The staff serving was so friendly and attentive, and I really appreciated their relaxed nature. Thanks so much to Oliver's Twist for the enjoyable dining experience. Cheers

Drinks and food were good. I came here on a quiet weeknight to meet up with a small group, eager to try the food here and support SE Asian cuisine The waitress seated us in the back with a large table (great!). Before ordering we kindly asked if it's possible to have separate checks (we anticipated 6-8 guests total). The waitress went quiet and reluctantly said, "yeah, I uh, guess we can". Sensing her dissatisfaction, we offered that if it was too much work for her we can proceed with one bill and figure it out amongst ourselves, or, I offered to put my order in and close out (unsure what the hesitancy was) in case I had to leave early. After a few of us put our orders in, again, we checked with the waitress if she was OK with the split. She didn't give a positive response.At the end, she charged each of us an automatic 20% group gratuity so I'm not sure why her responses were so despondent.Again, drinks were tasty, food was good, but the service was meh. Given the lackluster service (and charged 20% for it), I will go elsewhere.

The food tasted delicious. I especially like their Chrysanthemum salad. The service is also great. The ambiance is very lively and the people are enjoying themself. It's a full house tonight. This is my first time at this place.
