What People Are Saying About Oliver Twist

In Short – Don't be disturbed by the strip-mall setting: once you step inside you're in another world. Contemporary lighting in spicy hues of cinnamon and amber cast a warm glow over a large sleek bar, oversized leather couches and low tables. Richly textured pillows, unique artwork and swaths of fabric draped from the ceiling provide the perfect backdrop for the bar's weekend entertainment: belly dancing. You'll find a full wine selection, draft beer and more than 20 signature martinis.
Great for every occassion we even had our reception here!!

My husband and I started frequenting Oliver Twist for our date nights before we were even married. as its one of our favorite spots to dine. It didn’t matter if we were celebrating or having a relaxing night out. We have been to the variety shows enjoying the live music, watched the exotic belly dancers and even attended some of their events. Oliver Twist is so versatile! The tapas are excellent and the Martinis delicious! The staff is always pleasant and the service is great! Perfect place for an intimate night out or for a gathering with friends! We loved Oliver Twist so much we even had our wedding reception there. There wasn’t much need for decorating as Oliver Twist has the perfect decor and atmosphere. It’s naturally setup for an intimate dining experience with lounge seating which invites people to sit down and have a conversation over a glass of wine. The Staff was amazing. I didn’t have to worry about anything. We met with Steve, Alex and the Chef to explore the list of possibilities for the reception seating, set-up, and dining experience. Everyone was very accommodating. They stayed in touch with us and responded to all our questions. So when the big day came there were no last minute stressors. The food was excellent, the staff was as always accommodating, and it was our perfect day. People still compliment us on how much they enjoyed the reception at Oliver Twist! We still go for our date nights and bring new people to enjoy this special place!
- Pros: Atmosphere, Tapas, Martini & Wine List, Staff
- Cons: None
disappointment
by jln333
Food was overpriced, and sort of thrown together. The "twisted chicken" was just leftover spinach-artichoke dip, spread on a peice of chicken, with puff pastry. Server/host (?)--same person, didn't care about us, since the tip was automatic--20%, which is too much for an auto tip. Won't return.
- Pros: wasn't crowded
- Cons: entrees overpriced, service so-so
Surprise me!!!

I had an excellent dinner and evening here!!!
I went with a friend and we both ordered 4 Tapas and a bottle of wine. We were comfortably full afterwards, not stuffed, but again, TAPAS is suppossed to be light dining!
Gorgeous decor, comfortable to sit and drink wine and chat...
This place deserves five stars. I recommend to go back every chance you get. This place has great food, atmosphere and service.
- Pros: Great food, good music, and a phenomenal martini list.
