Twig & Leaf

Anyone have have any poop about the place since the new owners took over the space. Just curious, I worked there for 11 years under the former owners & 6 years for the former, former owners. I wrote the menu & created the dishes that, believe it or not, are still in use to this day. When the former owners took over they cut my budget way back; so the quality of my products dropped significantly. I put my heart & my soul into that place only to be run out by a mean old man. Any info, be it good or bad, would be greatly appreciated.

That reminds me that I've been meaning to check it out since it got new owners. Honestly, I hadn't gone for a while, perhaps because of the effect of the budget cuts. Thanks for the nudge, Patrick. I'll get it on my radar, and I hope others here will do the same and report.

Thanks Sir Robin. I wasn't looking for anyone to make a special trip to the Twig, just wanted see if anyone on the forum had stopped in sense the new owners took it over.

Nothing has improved there. I do not see how they stay in business. I think the only business they get on the weekends is the over flow business from North End.

I went there on a weekday evening last summer (I assume with the old owners?) I left because 1) the place was not clean-- even my table and menu were sticky, and 2) from the moment I sat down, the server was hovering over me rather rudely and asking what I wanted and pointing things out on the menu. I think I said something like, "You know, I think I forgot something" (which I did...that the place had gone way downhill)...I still can see the look of shock on the server's face...lol!

I ate a nice meal at Havana Rumba instead (takeout because I had a bus to catch-- the stop was conveniently right outside the door) !

Thanks for the "Poop from the Loop". I'm fairly certain the "new owners" didn't take the property over until early into the new year. I've heard they have really cleaned the place up & upped customer service considerably. I hear the food is greatly improved; they're, once again, serving "Purnell's Sausage" at 3 times the food cost as apposed to the "Crap- alicious" no name brand, could change from week to week (I was instructed to buy the cheapest product available & submit a purchase order with that week's price quotes; he would approve the purchase of the cheapest pork available, sign it, & hand it right back to me; no joke!)
I hope these new guys can bring the old Twig back. Stay tuned.

I went last Sunday at about 10am and had a really good basic breakfast. The tables got an up grade as did the ripped up seats. I found the service to be attentive and the food properly prepared. The place was clean. I had the chicken fried steak and eggs. My girlfriend had scrabbled eggs and a really good Belgium waffle. I will definitely be back. The price was right on too. I hate paying for over priced breakfasts.

Thanks for the update Will. We actually went by there this afternoon and almost stopped in but decided not to. After I got home and read your reply I wished we had!
