   This was our first time at Twisted Liquid. I was skeptical about the upscale dining notion in Blacksburg as were my Hokies but boy were we wrong. The ambiance was awesome. Cocktails amazing and food absolutely delicious. One of our absolute best meals over the last four years in Blacksburg. Our waitress Erica was also fabulous. What a great night. Can’t wait to visit again!

   Remarkable to find a place like this in a college town, on the main street no less. A relatively short menu, focused on excellent preparation of finer items. Wonderful drinks, lovely setting, excellent service.

   So happy this has been added to Blacksburg, a very welcome flavor of cocktail locations expected of much bigger cities

   Went for the cocktail class. It was a fun time and got some great insights into cocktails. Food bites were outstanding. Highly recommend.

   food was really good however I don't feel there were enough wait staff working. The wait for food and drinks were a little long especially considering the price . however once food arrived, it was very good. seemed like our waitress was overwhelmed

   My dining score was a three because I had to put something for the survey, but we did not eat. We’ve been here twice and really enjoy the drinks. We had family and friends in so we came here for a drink before dinner. They were delicious and our server was really friendly and available, and answered all questions about the drinks. We had a great time. We will be back.

   Came for some drinks with friends and had the best time! Definitely the spot to go for creative cocktails and somewhere without all the college kids

   Worst service ever, it took so long to get food and drinks plus they were brought to the table on different timings, some of the people at the table finish their meal while others were still waiting.

    After reading previous reviews, I wanted to give this restaurant a chance because I know that being a small business owner, and especially restaurants, is really tough. It's a lot of hard work and high expectations. Unfortunately, it was not a great experience. We were celebrating my son's graduation from Virginia Tech and I hoped it would be a fun evening with great food. I felt bad for the server as she was doing her best in a difficult situation. The drinks were great, but only came after we were sitting for almost 30 minutes. Our food took over an hour, which was fine, but the (cold) soup with chunks of tough lobster came after the main meal for two in our party (cold mac 'n cheese with chunks of tough lobster). 3 others in the party of 5 enjoyed the elk burger, pork 'n beans, and the steak, thankfully, but the steak came out after 4 of us had completed our meals. At the end of the evening, the server did offer us a complimentary dessert and apologized, but by that time we were ready to just wrap it up and declined. Like I said, I wanted to support and like the restaurant, and I understand the high cost of food in a small restaurant, but I was disappointed and I hope things can improve.

    Our deepest apologies for the negative experience that you had the week of xmas! We were completely short staffed bc of holiday vacations , Chef was on medical leave from seizures- a cook was covering her-we did not realize that it was a graduation evening for VT & we got absolutely slammed on a night with a skeleton crew! It got as busy as a Saturday on a Thursday… we literally ran that shift with 3 people-one of which was fired for his performance in the kitchen. I do know that as the owner covering the bartender that night, I personally apologized to every table that had mediocre service and comped food as necessary to try to make up for the incompetence that happened in the kitchen that night. I assure you we normally strive for & attain 5 star service.
