Twisted Cork - St Thomas

We can’t believe we waited this long to try Twisted Cork! We both had the Lionfish, which was delicious. The Parmesan crusted oysters were also great. We highly recommend the Ballpark pie for dessert, Amazing!!

What a fantastic place! We loved everything we ordered. Our kids are picky but loved the food.

Outstanding .Triggerfish appetizer.Entree lion fish, bonefish were great to name some. Small but adequate well priced wine list. Highly recommended

Feeling lucky? Based on our experience and other reviews an evening at Twisted Cork is a real **** shoot. Unfortunately, our experience was terrible. First the things the restaurant had little or no control over two large parties in an intimate space who were very very loud and extremely obnoxious. And, apparently, a walk out in the kitchen on a night when the place was packed. But the manager and it wasn’t apparent there was one on site did NOTHING to address the 30 minute wait to even place our order (granted we should have walked out then) the hour wait for garlic bread or the 2 HOUR wait for our entrees. No communication. No offer of complimentary bread and cocktails while we waited, no offer of desserts for the table at the end, no apologies for the deafening noise level during the long wait. When the bill finally came one round of drinks (4 cocktails for a party of 6) had been comped but it was way too little too late. We were utterly miserable. I gave 2 Stars because the food, once it came, had promise. The monkfish and pasta specials were very good. The portions of lion fish piccata were small and the preparation was just “meh” and the po’boys were dry and really skimpy on shrimp. We were told the oysters were “off” and weren’t available that night. Other ingredients seemed in short supply based on our plates. Overall the kitchen seemed to be a hot mess, there wasn’t enough staff on the floor, no manager in sight and super poor recovery on a bad situation. We are reasonable people with some experience in the restaurant business in our group we know stuff happens. And had anyone apologized for the noise, explained there would be a wait, offered a complimentary cocktail and app while we waited or done ANYTHING to save the night we would have been ok. Unfortunately it was an expensive and poor experience I can’t recommend.

Only a short visit to the island This restaurant was special Food and service was incredible The fish was fresh and perfectly done Wonderful chef and waiter Very casual and relaxing
