Twisted Olive - Bethlehem (PA)

5 /5 Kayti S: My partner and I stopped by Twisted Olive for a date night without a reservation and were still able to get a cozy outdoor table- exactly where we wanted to sit. The outdoor seating section we sat is on the sidewalk, which we personally love for the lively, open-air vibe (though it might not be everyone’s thing). I think there was another section that was more sectioned off/ clearly apart of the restaurant though. Service was excellent from start to finish. Even with outdoor seating, we never felt forgotten- our server checked in just the right amount, was friendly, and gave us great recommendations for both food and cocktails. I ordered the sirloin cooked on the stone, which was such a fun and unique experience- our server even walked me through how to cook it properly at the table. My partner had the pork belly salad, which was incredibly creative and full of flavor. Both dishes plus our appetizer were delicious and the cocktails were out of this world. We also loved hearing a bit about the restaurant’s background.. apparently the owner has a garden that provides some of the vegetables for the menu (don’t quote me, but it was a cool detail!). Everything about the experience the food, drinks, service, and atmosphere was wonderful. No notes. We’ll definitely be back to try more menu items soon!

5 /5 Patience Banda: WOW! Excellent food and service. We had the Steak on a stone and the Swordfish special. Everything was delicious. The servers were very attentive, and kept our kids engaged the whole night. We definitely recommend and would come back!

5 /5 Cave Arnold: 2025: I have tried this two times now. I have been very impressed with the salads and appetizers I have eaten. I was also impressed by Alice who warned that the crab cakes are not lump (as in the menu name) but shredded crab. I would go here again.

4 /5 Sara sargente: The atmosphere was pleasant. It was a busy night but our waitress was attentive and sweet. The drinks were good but not outstanding for the price. The tapas menu was unique and we got the twisted olives which were very good! Never had anything like it. The ribeyes were cooked well but very grisly and I left a lot on my plate. I would definitely go back for the Tapas menu and atmosphere. Next time, I may sit at the bar instead.

5 /5 Pam Koharchik: I enjoyed dining here, but most of all I appreciate a restaurant that stands behind their service. I ordered a ribeye med rare. It came well done. They immediately replaced it, and it was delicious. Mistakes happen. When the bill came, they took the charge off. I argued, saying thats silly; I ate a perfectly good steak. The manager refused to reinstate the charge. Thats $70 they lost on 2 steaks. I so thoroughly appreciate their customer service The meals (also had the lobster ravioli) were delicious, by the way, as were the cocktails. Highly recommend, as they stand by their service and food. We will def be back. This will be our new go-to place when in town.
