Was really looking forward to a romantic dinner at Twist last Saturday. First, the dining room is beautiful and elegant and well appointed. We were greeted by a server Miguel, and promptly seated at a nice table. Our server Katherine came by to give menus and wine list. We chose a moderate priced bottle and the three course prix fixe. Our wine was excellent as was all the food. The food was amazing and worth the money.\n\nWhy the less than five stars.....well after taking our orders the service went downhill. The sommelier opened an poured the first glass and that was the last we saw of him. The courses initially came out well timed but after the main course the empty plates and empty wine glasses were left on the table. Never were we asked if we wanted another bottle of wine or another drink. Once the main course was cleared dessert was brought out immediately ...along with the check. Again not asked if we needed anything or even an after dinner drink. We ate dessert and placed the credit card to pay....you would think that since they brought out the check so quickly with dessert they would have picked up the credit card. More than once our server walked by and did not take it. This went on for about 15 minutes. Lastly the petit fours were placed on the table as an after thought.\nI think the reason for the poor service was that the server and sommelier were too busy fawning over the next table of \"regulars\" so we got ignored in turn. This poor service was unacceptable given the reputation the restaurant and reflects poorly. So despite the excellent reputation of the chef and quality of the food this was very disappointing, so much so that I am hard pressed to recommend this restaurant.
