The Scene
Tucked into a sterile wing of Phipps Plaza, this fantasyland of wood, glass and light is more like a nightclub than a restaurant. Lighting creates intimacy and warmth in what could be a chilly, cavernous space. Buckhead matrons rub shoulders with their younger bleached and groomed counterparts. Servers offer casual attitudes and stellar service.
The Food
The menu is a multiculti selection of tapas, salads, satay and seafood. A bold standout is the appetizer "sharing salad" of calamari with frisee, radicchio, cashews, hearts of palm and bananas in citrus vinaigrette. An entree of forearm-sized prawns (heads and all) arrives beautifully plated in white-bean ragout. The imaginative sashimi tuna pizza on a toasted tortilla with wasabi mayo more than compensates for the so-so chicken empanada and shrimp dumplings in Thai curry cream. Warm fruit crisp of rhubarb, and strawberries with homemade buttermilk ice cream are exceptional desserts.

Do not eat here!!! The service was terrible, it was extremely loud, and worst of all the food was disgusting. Not one thing was seasoned properly and our food came out at once. Keep in mind this place is a tapas bar, so staggering dishes would make since, right? Definitely a miss in the booming and interesting food scene of Atlanta.

Chic place, good for people-watching. A nice place to cozy up to your significant other for a date night, while at the same time offering a fun atmosphere for a group outing with friends.

At night, Twist is a place to see and be seen. But don't let it's hip appearance and nightclub like feel at times fool you. The food is excellent. Among the highlights are the sushi and the Thai Shrimp curry. Delicious!
