    Have eaten here several times and have never been disappointed. Met a good friend and thankfully were tucked in a back corner booth (quieter) and could enjoy our conversation. It is a little noisy when crowded, but not awful- and tables are placed a nice distance apart- unlike some restaurants where the tables are on top of each other. Resisted the bread pudding French toast today, but may need to go back soon to try that! Only disappointment was that they didn’t have their blueberry scones- the absolute best I’ve ever had!

    Any and all Lettuce Entertain You restaurants/concepts would earn top marks from me (and most everyone) but Twin City Grille gets a bit higher grades. Much like their sister Wildfire brand, the menu is varied with everything being outstanding. Service is always friendly, professional and fully customer-focused. Portions are generous, plating and quality of the cuisine is terrific adding-up to a solid value-for-money. In fact, so enjoyable we'll be returning tomorrow to try different items before leaving town.
