Twist Bistro And Gallery - Scottsdale

We were the only diners in the dining area during our entire visit. Now we know why. Food was unacceptable. Chicken with unchewable tough skin on; cole slaw seemed day old limp and soupy; french fries were pale, limp, undercooked. Our waitress told us that she'd just heard that the restaurant had been sold when we remarked on the food.

This was our first visit to Ginny's kitchen. We like that we could get in easy and it wasn't over crowded. the food was good but not great. Nothing real special on the entrees.The wine by the glass choices were poor. No good Chardonnay's or Cabs by the glass. The only Zinfandel was $19 . If we come back maybe I'll try a hard liquor drink.

The bbq chicken poor boy ordered by three of the four of use amazing, rave reviews outstanding. I had the shrimp and grits, a favorite delicious as well but served differently from previous times. Desert for three beignets were awesome, chocolate cream pie stellar, lemon sorbet I ordered far too covered in overly sweet and thick berry compote, and the lemon sorbet was a frozen disk. Had to wait 20 minutes for it to thaw out somewhat. I was impressed there was a gluten free dairy, free dessert which many places don't offer, but I won't be ordering it again.

I had read the reviews about Ginny's Kitchen and thought it would be a good place to try. We went w/our neighbors with whom we have often gone out to dinner. Also looked at the menu before making the reservation. The location is convenient, however, the noise level is really loud, and I agree w/the review that the lighting is too bright. Our server and the busboy were both friendly and efficient. The restaurant was busy upon on arrival, but our table was ready for us and we were seated right away. There was only one bartender and it took a long time to get our drinks, which were not complicated...unfortunately the food was not that great.. shrimp and grits were flavorful, but soupy...Mac and cheese was only average, beet salad was not appropriate for splitting... we had asked if it was and were told ‘ yes'.... The beets came in very thin slices and when the salad is split you get 2 thin slices... in my view, that is not a salad that should be split. We would have each ordered our own rather than have what we got.. also there was no dressing on it, so had to ask for dressing! The desserts were the highlight... berry cobbler and beignets ... both very delicious! I think this restaurant needs to get their act together... at present, they do not seem to be able to properly handle the business they are getting by word of mouth. That business will quickly end if they don't fix the these easy problems... I am rooting for them, will give them a try for lunch, but if still shaky, that will be our last visit.

This is a perfect local restaurant to enjoy good food, good service and friendly customers. Not over priced and the portions are generous and the menu is interesting. We shared the beet salad, delicious, and I had the Salmon and my husband had the boar meatloaf, he loved it. Will be going again many times.
