    Twin Tails was a very pleasant surprise! It was an experience from the moment we entered to our exit. A very welcoming host-person table, lovely decor, great view, interesting music playlist not to loud, friendly informative waiters. And our dishes were 8 out of 9 excellent. The one so so dish, a tuna tartar spin would have been excellent at a lesser restaurant. The salads were especially stand-outs, combining herbs and greens and sweet and tangy.

    Cute spot we chose for our thanksgiving lunch. We were not disappointed. My turkey meal was delicious! I would recommend them for thanksgiving as well as any day of the week and the service was wonderful. My husband had a regularly-served dish and enjoyed it very much. Kid friendly. Thank you to all who took care of us today.
