Reviews For Twisted Lemon Restaurant & Boutique Inn

Twisted Lemon is the perfect restaurant for any occasion, I’ve been twice. The most recent time was to propose to my girlfriend! Chef Dan and the rest of the Twisted Lemon staff made sure to make the night absolutely perfect and went above and beyond to do so! They created special appetizers to compliment our love story and kept our group entertained all night with fantastic jokes and of course INCREDIBLE food! Chef Dan helped me from the beginning making sure I had everything I needed and reached out to me a few times before hand to get an idea of the perfect dish they can make to compliment our story, what they came up with was amazing! This moment will be remembered forever, thank you Twisted Lemon!

Exceptional and unique experience. We were there to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. I can't begin to express my gratitude for the stellar service, delicious food and drink, and an undeniable feeling of being taken care of. Once in a lifetime memory making. Thank you to everyone at the Twisted Lemon for all their care & attention

From start to finish, our experience at Twisted Lemon was nothing short of exceptional. The food was absolutely outstanding — each course was crafted with such thought, detail, and care that it felt like a work of art. You could taste the passion in every bite. The Clairity cocktails were a revelation — smooth, inventive, and perfectly balanced. We loved them so much, we bought some to take home! A special thank you to Chef and Owner Dan, who went above and beyond to ensure our evening was perfect. His warmth and attention to detail elevated the entire experience. We’re already looking forward to our next visit — Twisted Lemon has definitely earned a spot on our list of all-time favourites!

Just got home and I’m already looking forward to my next visit! We stayed in the Norton Room at the Boutique Inn, part of Twisted Lemon, and it was such a memorable experience. The room was beautifully designed with thoughtful touches throughout — from the cozy decor to little extras like morning coffee and a welcome bag filled with essentials you might have forgotten (toothbrush, razor, comb, and more). It’s clear that so much care and love went into creating this charming space. The real highlight, though, was dinner at Twisted Lemon. This was my first time dining there, and from the moment we were greeted at the door, the entire evening was flawless. The service was warm and attentive, the atmosphere was inviting, and the food... truly next level. Every dish was packed with incredible flavour and presented beautifully — the best dining experience I’ve had, hands down. And the clarity cocktails? Pure genius. You can feel the passion behind every detail — from the inn to the dining room. If you’re considering a visit, I can’t recommend it enough. Make a night of it — you won’t be disappointed! A huge thank you to Chef Dan, Laurie and their family for the warm hospitality and for making this birthday celebration one to remember!

After hearing countless recommendations, we finally had the chance to visit this restaurant to celebrate a trio of May birthdays—and it absolutely lived up to the hype. From the moment we were seated and served their house-made chips, to the final bite of dessert, every part of the meal was exceptional. What truly stood out, though, was the overall experience. The atmosphere is vibrant and thoughtful, clearly reflecting a deep passion for food and hospitality. The restaurant’s commitment to fresh, locally grown ingredients shines through in every dish, making the meal not only delicious but also meaningful. Our server went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and we were especially touched that the owner took the time to personally introduce himself and chat with us. This was more than just a great meal—it was a memorable celebration in a place that clearly cares about what it does. We’ve definitely found a new favorite.

We enjoyed a spectacular chef’s table with Chef Dan and Laurie, and I will be reliving that meal for quite some time. The depth of flavours, the ingredient quality, the beautiful presentations made this experience unmatched. It was fine dining that somehow was both “homey” and friendly, while showcasing serious culinary talent. Dan and Laurie’s great teamwork was evident in every course.

Came here Saturday evening at 5pm with 4 of my friends for dinner and we all ordered different dishes from the menu and I have to say that everything was up to perfection. The Wild boar was Definitely a dish that left me speechless. Was very well crafted and the flavors where top notch. Chef Dan really knows his passion for food and flavors. I highly recommend this place for a special occasion. His knowledge is beyond this world. Hopefully to see you guys soon. Much love for the restaurant and service as well.

Everything was amazing. We had the duck confit tacos and the risotto balls to start and they were awesome. We had the pork belly and wild boar as our mains and they were cooked to perfection. The cheese cake was incredible. It was a touch slow but a bunch of tables got seared simultaneously so I'm sure that didn't help. The cocktail menu is extensive and everything we had was on point, I highly recommend the blueberry mule. The staff were excellent and definitely made up for the slow start. Would recommend drinks a couple apps dinner for 2 and dessert before tip was right around 250 which was a surprise as I actually expected the bill to be a bit higher.
