Twist - Atlanta, Georgia

2/17/08 Late Afternoon Lunch
I love Twist! We passed up the sushi bar as you enter to go back in the bar area to sit. There are serpentine curves everywhere and the coolest projection screen I have ever seen for TV. Hundreds of metal beads (think of a seventies doorway) reflect the huge TV image- which happened to be the Daytona 500 when we were there. We sat at a high bar table in front of a long, curvy upholstered bench. As this was the middle of the afternoon on Sunday we had our choice of seats.
Although we waited just a tad too long for our drinks considering that the place wasn't that busy, our server was pleasant and informative about the menu. This place is a tapas bar which is the reason I like it. You get to eat a wide variety of items from the menu and you don't feel like you are overly stuffed afterwards. We ordered french fries, hummus with flatbread, mini-burgers, tempura shrimp, and fried artichokes. The tempura shrimp was light, airy, and wonderful! The little hamburgers got a kick from the jalapenos in the meat and were also very good. The fries were crisp and plentiful. My Beautiful Daughter kept the plate of hummus in front of her, but it tasted pretty ordinary as did the fried artichokes.
I will definitely come back here for a fun, casual meal the next time I am at Phipps!
