Restaurants Review: Twin Creeks Steakhouse ? Awesome Drinks ...

I?ve been to this restaurant only for their happy hour in the lounge which serves a tapas menu, but I have yet to try their actual steak dinners. But their Happy Hour is a really?good deal. It?s Tuesday through Thursday (5pm-8pm)?and all drinks and tapas are 50% off. Their food is pretty good, but they are drinks are amazing!

(Picture found on Google)

Decor: It?s a very modern restaurant?with?dark lighting, it has a pretty romantic feel. Their lounge consists of 4 tables that sit 4 people(each)and the bar,?but the tables are pretty small. It was just me and?my husband?and after all of our food arrived there was no table room at all. So I can?t even imagine if we had two more people with us, we would need a second table for sure. Their chairs are pretty high and comfortable with nice padding, but they are sooo?heavy that it was a challenge to move them so I can sit down. But overall their decor really is beautiful and the bar stunning!???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????4 stars

The food: In the lounge they have?a tapas menu which is not large, but the items on it are pretty good. On our first visit to the restaurant, once seated, they brought out their delicious house bread?which I completely adored, but on the second visit I was pretty disappointed when they didn?t bring any. It?s not that big of a deal since everything is 50% off but still if you return to a restaurant you go in with certain expectations, so I was a little bummed out.???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? 3.5 stars

So here?s what we ordered:

  • Bacon wrapped shrimp ? it was very good. The plate came with 4 shrimps, perfectly cooked and they were topped with a?tasty bbq sauce, so it was very good. Would order again.
  • Stuffed mushrooms ? one of my favorites, they were Awesome!!! They were stuffed with chorizo, chicken and lots of parmesan. Pure heaven!
  • Meatballs with marinara?sauce ? This is the only item I didn?t like. The meatballs were extremely tough and underseasoned. They tasted like frozen meatballs. The sauce needed some more seasoning as well and tasted like canned marinara?sauce. Just awful. After I told the server of my opinion on the meatballs, the manager came over and said they will remove them from tonight?s menu.
  • Chorizo- cheese roasted tomato fondue ? Fabulous! But my one complained was the entire fondue contained 1 piece of chorizo,?I am completely serious! I was fishing around trying to find a little more, but there was none!?When I told the server about the missing chorizo,?he brought out a little plate with extra sausage to add to the fondue and then it?was wonderful! Delicious!
  • Every night they have a couple of specials and that night one of them was the Lobster Mac n Cheese ? my favorite thing that night! Although I don?t really like lobster, this was wonderful!!! The pasta was perfectly cooked, it was?very creamy and super cheesy- ?they should really make it a regular item on their menu. It was outstanding!

Drinks: Their cocktails are ahhmazing! They definitely don?t skimp on the liqueur so all of their drinks are very strong, pretty big and only $5 at happy hour. Now that makes me happy! :) ?????????????????????????????????????? 5 stars

Noise: It?s a lively restaurant, a little loud, but you can carry a conversation without a problem.????? 5 stars

Service: Server was very friendly and he checked up on us a couple of times during dinner. When I did have a complaint about the meatballs and chorizo, he was very understanding and brought us some more chorizo and told his manager about our meatball problems. So he was great! But our food did take about 15-20 mins to make it to our table, and since I was hungry and there was no house bread this time, I got impatient.??? 4 stars

Price: You can?t go wrong with their happy hour! Normally their tapas menu ranges between $5-$10 and their specialty drinks are $10 each so at happy hour everything is 50% off! Great deal!?????????5 stars

The verdict: Now that I?ve been to the restaurant twice I know the good and the bad, what I would order again and what I would pass on, but since the service, drinks, atmosphere and most of the food are great I would definitely come back again?to the restaurant! Overall, a very good experience!????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? 4 stars

I'm self-taught cook and I enjoy making a Big mess in my kitchen. I love all things sweet, cheesy,spicy and pretty much anything else that is bad for you, but try for the most part to maintain a pretty healthy lifestyle. I hope to spice up your life-one dish at a time!
