My husband and I had the privilege of checking out the Twisted Cork Grille in Bristow, VA. We were very excited for a date night in the first place, and we are both big foodies, so the excitement of trying a new restaurant is always high for us!
Twisted Cork Grille is an American cuisine bar and grill serving traditional comfort foods with a swing on farm to table options. They strive to be that perfect place to bring the whole family where you will get superb service and exceptionally delicious food served with a genuine smile and a great time. You’ll also discover an excellent choice of whiskeys, hand-picked fine wines, and 10 local draft beers.
Upon entering, the ambiance is relaxed and fun. We saw many patrons enjoying their food and drinks. It was a full house! The staff was very welcoming and friendly. Our server did a fantastic job explaining the menu and answering all of our questions. I love the locally owned feeling that you get when dining at such a place. You could tell there was a lot of pride in this establishment!
We started the night off with The Cheesy Buffalo Dip. It was warm and gooey, and came with tortilla chips to dip. A perfect appetizer to share, and just the right ratio of cheese and buffalo sauce!
For the main course, we were recommend the brisket and steak. So my husband got the Brisket Platter, served with tender slices of brisket, sage gravy, mashed potatoes and french green beans. He ate every last bite, and I may have stolen a few! The sage gravy was the icing on the cake for me.
I ordered the Twister Skipper, which is their signature sirloin topped with whiskey sauce, served with a baked potato and asparagus. My steak was perfectly cooked and the sauce was amazing! This was a 10 oz portion, so I brought some home, too.
We ended the evening with the Ooey Gooey Brownie – which is just that, served with coffee ice cream and caramel drizzle, a perfect note to end on! It was so good we didn’t even stop to take a picture 🙂
The Twisted Cork Grille will make the perfect place for your next date night! Speaking of date nights, you can see their Valentine’s Day menu (Feb 14-19) below and call ahead to make your reservation. You will be happy you did!
