Twist Bistro is a restaurant and art gallery located in North Scottsdale Arizona. They offer an ever changing menu of detailed delicious food that leans towards Mediterranean. The restaurant is ran by a husband and wife team. The wife is the artist who painted many of the beautiful colorful paintings (they are for sale) and also runs the front of the house. The husband is the creative chef.

Our server asked us if we’ve been here before….(I laughed to myself since this is our 7th visit and she asked us that last time too) Anyways- We started by sharing the farm to table salad. Today’s was made of Abby Lee Farms heirloom tomato, Hass avocado, radish, Blue Sky farms greens, pepitas, tortilla strips, Serrano pepper and lime vinaigrette. It’s a nice aggressively spiced substantial salad. We enjoyed the spiciness but it would be too much for tenderfoots. The salad is filling with all the silky meaty avocado and everything is very fresh.

Then fresh hot feta dill biscuits with honey scallion butter come our way.

These are really delicious. Getting these biscuits is like getting a gift. We share one and take the two home to enjoy latter.

This was the first time I didn’t notice any fish on the menu or as a special either. They only had shellfish today. I went with the filet mignon provencal.

The filet has a nice sear on it and is topped with cabernet jus and aioli. It rest on braised kale and garlic masked potatoes. Confit tomatoes and a grilled artichoke complete the plate. I wasn’t served a steak knife but did ok with a butter knife because the steak was tender. My lucky dogs went crazy for the piece I fed them. They were glad I went for the filet.

My husband always enjoys the shrimp and sausage diablo.

It contains spicy Italian sausage, gulf shrimp, fresh basil, asparagus, olives and tomato confit over three cheese polenta.
