Great burger. Slow service late night. Was crowded. I ate here around 8 or 9 years ago and it's still good now. The burger is cooked perfectly.

Three of us met at 7 PM for dinner. Michael U had received notice from one of the employees at Twist that Chef Gagnaire would be in Las Vegas for a range of dates. It was because of this we booked at this time. The restaurant, on the 23rd floor of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in City Center, is elegant and the view is very good. The three of us ended up getting a modified version of the grand tasting menu. We were brought three rolls each and then the meal began. First up was an amuse-blouche of two small bites with the server suggesting the correct order to eat the two. Course one was sea urchin mousseline with caviar. There was gelee of bonito and grilled onion infusion and olive oil infused salsify spaghettini. It was recommended that we mix the sea urchin with the spaghettini for the greatest flavor. An excellent dish and an auspicious start for the evening. Course two was lobster fricassee with kaffir lime and enoki mushrooms, baby carrot stew and sweet wine and green tea butter and the dish was topped with some edible flowers. The lobster was simply superb! Course three was modified by us. We added an extra course at an extra charge. It was carnaroli risotto with artichokes and pine nuts. It was topped with some micro greens and a LOT of shaved truffles. What a grand melding of flavors with the truffles and risotto and the pine nuts added a texture that made this dish another winner. Next was time for a palate cleanser of some sorbet to ready us for the foie gras coming next. Course four was the roasted foie gras with coffee and chestnut veloute, prunes and porcini. More truffles were shaved on this dish and it was absolutely sublime. The sauce was so rich and the mushrooms with the foie were the tops! Course five was another divergence on our part. We asked if we could sub proteins and we could. Instead of the American Wagyu beef, I got Muscovy duck. It ha d a green pepper sauce and caramelized pear and pine nuts. The duck was accompanied by whisky jus eggplant cannelloni with duck confit. Another winner, but I don't think I need to keep stating that. A very good switch. Course six was a series of desserts. One of them we added a la carte--the mille-feuille with praline cream, cassis compote and blackberry sorbet. We each took a third of this shared dessert but only one (me) slopped on the nice white linen. The grand dessert course consists of three items: 1) Cassis: sorbet, wurtz, marmalade and cane sugar and pink pepper opaline; 2) Honey orange gelee, shortbread, mango and passion fruit topped with fromage blanc ice cream; 3) Chocolate gateau with golden raisins and Amarena cherries. A suggestion was made in what order we should eat the desserts to get the fullest flavor profiles and it was a grand suggestion. The dessert were rich, full of exceptional flavors, and very satisfying. My favorite was the sorbet with grape halves that had been frozen and were around the sorbet. A great concept. Wait, we're not done yet. Next we were brought a plate of three lemon meringue bites that had lemon filling between the two sections of meringue. Each meringue bite was accompanied by three blueberries on an edible toothpick. We're still not done--dessert six was brought for the three of us to share. It was Gagnaire's Tanzanian chocolate parfait with coffee granite and caramelized hazelnuts. This was rich, smooth, and a perfect chocolaty end to this grand tasting meal. Service was outstanding as you would expect from Twist. Chef Gagnaire came from the kitchen for a brief hello and the Chef de Cuisine, Ryuki Kawasaki, also came out and chatted with us for a short time and talked about his upcoming move to Bangkok, Thailand. Before leaving, we each received a signed menu from both chefs with the date. A keepsake for sure! We also got a small package of two biscotti with the Twist logo to take with us. Our jackets were waiting for us at the host's stand and we were helped on with them. I can't say too many good words about this wonderful meal. Three hours of good food, good company, and wonderful surroundings. This is as good as it gets and a reason why this was my second visit but not my last!!

My family stopped here on a Friday afternoon during our vacation. It wasn't busy at all so our experience was a quiet one. The atmosphere was beautiful inside and out! If it hadn't been for the fact that it reached record high temps that day, we would've eaten outside. We were able to sit at a table right next to the pond and it was really fun to watch the ducks and turtles swim. We were greeted and seated immediately, and our waiter was very attentive. My hubby and I both had the Pollo Fundido and is was soooo good! The quality of the chicken was excellent! It was also a fun little town to walk around after lunch. Next time we are in AZ we will be back!
