    We were a group of 3 who came here for my mothers birthday. On the reservation I noted that we were celebrating my moms birthday. When we arrived at the host we were immediately seated and she wished my mom a happy birthday which I thought was very nice that she made noted to do so. Restaurant is very sleek and modern looking. They played great music and the art decor was pretty cool. I noticed on the menu that they specialized the menu for my mom and put Happy birthday on it for her and I knew right there I was gonna be blown away. I really appreciated the little things the restaurant did and the staff. Our waiter I believe his name was Craig (😬) was awesome. Very attentive, knowledgeable and really enhanced our dining experience. The whole staff was amazing really. Good was amazing, we wanted to try everything but our stomachs wouldn’t allow it lol. We had the oysters, pate, and tartare, dinner was fried chicken, brick chicken, and swordfish. We all shared and everything was truly delicious, especially the fried chicken. What a crunch! And the side sauces and biscuits, chef kiss! Dessert was amazing too and they brought it out with a candle. I really enjoyed the dessert dining experience here, my mom loved it and I will definitely be back again. It was truly a special evening which they help create.

    It’s my favorite local BYO gastropub, what can I say? Nothing ever goes wrong. There’s a great wine shop directly across the street, how convenient. (Get a Brunello) most recently my buds and I shared a roasted suckling pig! It was cooked and seasoned to perfection and was a melt in your mouth chef’s kiss all the way through. That came with their to die for biscuits, some roasted shisito peppers, Brussels sprout slaw and I think some kind of potatoes, I forget. Also 3 dipping sauces for the pork: bbq, honey and hot. I love sauces as much as I do pork! We all pigged out. We got a few apps and desserts and shared everything and one dish was better than the next. Oysters, beef tartar, burrata, doughnuts, maple crème brûlée - it was all phenomenal. It gets busy on the weekends so expect a little noise. The vibrancy is offset by the very chill vibes inside. A couple of years there now, you know T+W has hit their stride.

    What a great experience! Very creative dishes and super tasty. Our server was already very kind and gave us very good recommendations. Highly recommend the Burrata with Brussels sprouts and the scallops. Will definitely be back to try other dishes!

    This place has a cute atmosphere with the little dinosaurs around the restaurant. We sat at the counter next to the kitchen. Our server was the nicest and most attentive server I had in a while. Gave us the rundown of the menu. We wanted to try their fried chicken, which wasn't on the menu. You have to ask them about it. That meal came with a salad, fried chicken and the sides, and a dessert to share. The potato wedges were delicious. The fried chicken was ok. The biscuits tasted like the Pillsbury ones, not hating on them, though. For dessert, we had the donuts, which were so yummy! Overall, the food was alright. The atmosphere was definitely my favorite part!

    Cozy and welcoming restaurant with delicious and huge variety food and great service. Also you bring you own wine or beer and therefore your bill is very moderate. Highly recommend this restaurant!
