Yesterday we had dinner at one of THE best restaurants I've ever been to: The Twisted Vine.
The Twisted Vine is in Derby, CT on Main Street.
If you are ever anywhere near Derby, you should make a reservation and try their food. Our whole table was oohing and aahing and mmmming throughout the meal.
One diner had the gorgonzola filet, she declared it the best she ever had. Another had the blackened scallops and said the same. I had a chicken francaise that rocked the house and even the chicken fingers and fries (for the kids) were so good, I'd go back to have them for my own dinner.
Garlic bread which was served with the meal looked okay but tasted like sheer heaven. Try it! It's a different kind of garlic bread, not crispy but superb in it's own style. The wines we tasted were delicious and the service from Leo was impeccable.
Frank the owner made each guest feel like they were old friends and he's the first person you'll meet when you walk in the door.
I don't know what more anyone could ask for: a charming space, a friendly staff, magnificent food, and prompt service.
Did I mention how great the food was? Well even if I've said it three times, it doesn't quite compare to the gustatory experience of eating the delicious food at The Twisted Vine.
If I didn't have a wedding to go to today, I'd be calling for reservations so I could try something else prepared by the talented chef who knows what she's doing in the kitchen!
I give The Twisted Vine a straight A report card!!

It sounds wonderful. It reminds me of my favorite place here in my hometown.
http://www.cafe-laboheme.com/
La Boheme has its good and bad seasons. It all depends on who cookin'. Its currently has a little too much fish on its menu for my taste.
Gavin, I opened the menu and saw TRIPE and almost bolted from the place -- but it was the only oddish entree and I was able to find a dozen things I wanted to eat.
I am now associating fish and worms since a friend found a worm in her fresh fish. I did some research and worms like to live in fish flesh...yuck.
sounds lovely!
And yet another reason to stay away from fish.
Reminds me of Gallery IV in lynbrook, NY. Whenever mom and I have to go up to NY we go to gallery IV for dinner. When we were up there for a week - we went there every night. (i'm sad that we probably don't have to go to NY anymore, only b/c i'll miss gallery.) It's a little tiny restaurant/pizzaria. But they make these Garlic knots to TIE for, along with a wonderful stracciatella soup - and their chicken francaise?? Fabulous!!!
Thanks for sharing Mary :)
Hi Nic, Gav and Ilanna, Great food stays with you whether it's something grandma made or some spectacular dish from a place that normally you'd just drive by.
