Reviews & Comments for Twist Bistro

Many of us know about the great things cooking at Twist Café, so I’m really happy to report that chefs/owners Dominique and Eileen Faury are now serving dinner at Twist Bistro next door!

I’ve been to Twist Bistro twice now, and I can’t say enough great things about it. The atmosphere is wonderful– quiet, a little romantic, yet relaxed - and the service is excellent. But, most of all, the food is outstanding – some of the best I’ve had in this area. The flavors of the dishes are subtle, the ingredients are of the finest quality, and since the menu changes every month, there’s always something new to sample. For those of you who are wine buffs, the manager is a professional sommelier, so you know the wine there is fantastic as well.

You pay a little more for dinner at Twist Bistro than we who frequent the low-priced Twist Café are used to, but I can honestly say it’s worth every penny. This is a very fine restaurant we’re lucky to have in Downtown Campbell.

Twist Bistro is fine dining for the casual minded. It's the kind of food you normally would associate with the need to dress up and be on your best manners for. While I'd encourage you to mind your manners anyway, you may be happy to learn that you can go as you are. The vibe at Twist Bistro is relaxed, friendly, and even boisterous at times, but don't take the casual dining ambieance as a sign of a lackidaisical kitchen. Dominique and Eileen (the owners) are both professional chefs and Dominique cut his teeth in Parisian restaurants that have been rated three and two stars by the Michelin Guide.

Just about everything I've eaten there was absolutely memorable. My favorite dish was a grilled salmon filet that was dusted in spices, lightly crispy on the outside, moist and tender on the inside, and full of flavor to the last bite. The Hanging Tender Steak was also excellent as was the Pork Chop Roquefort. It all goes perfect with a side of very flavorful garlic spinach.

The only thing that wasn't to my taste was the French Onion soup. There was nothing wrong with it. It actually came highly recommended by a few patrons that I chatted up there, but it was just too strong of a dish for my palate.

True to the video for Twist Bistro, you're not just paying to taste great food. You're paying a reasonable price to eat a great meal and I don't always have room for dessert, but when I do, the warm chocolate cake with warm chocolate sauce is a no-brainer.
