   The food was great , different style that was refreshing. The staff was knowledgeable and let us take our time, but then told us we had to turn the table for the next seating, so timing could have been better . Delicious though , I can see why it’s busy

   Great retro vibe, ‘80s hits on the speakers. Escargot the bomb. Good service too. Next time, would like to sit overlooking the park.

   Great food and service was ok except the waiter brought the check while we were still eating before offering coffee. If this is the restaurant's practice they should, at the very least, ask the customer whether they are having or an after dinner drink before placing the check on the table. Placing a check on the table while you are still eating is a no no!!This is the second time that this happened.

   I have to say, I was impressed from the moment I walked in. The decor and ambiance were on point—luxurious yet intimate, with amazing views of Columbus Circle that really set the mood. The hospitality was top-notch, but the star of the show was definitely the food. We started with the black pepper sirloin satay, which was perfectly cooked, followed by main lobster summer rolls and crispy garlic shrimp—each dish packed with flavor. The lemongrass ribs were tender and aromatic, and the crab fried rice was deliciously indulgent. The wok-tossed long beans were a great balance to all the richness. To top it off, we had the Thai iced coffee affogato, which was the perfect sweet ending. What really made the meal stand out was the passion fruit hot sauce they provided—it went perfectly with everything. Our waitress was super attentive, and she even surprised us with a Phuket swizzle from the bar that was strong and delicious. I’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a unique dining experience.

   Excellent dinner on a Tuesday night. We were going to a concert at Carnegie Hall afterwards and were running a little late for our reservation. Our server was excellent, I told him when we had to be out and he made sure to course out our meal, we had plenty of time to eat and were finished with plenty of time to get to the concert. Really beautiful restaurant too! Particularly delicious was the salmon crudo, yellowtail crudo, lobster spring rolls and King Crab and Uni buns.

   We tried out Twin Tails based on reviews we had read of it and were thoroughly looking forward to it. We started out with cocktails — the lychee martini and the lipstick palm, both of which were outstanding. For our meal, we ordered the cho lon duck and wok tossed long beans. When the duck arrived, there was barely enough space on our table for the 3-tiered dish. The server had to ask us to clear the light in the center of the table out of the way to make room for everything. The duck was cooked quite well and the sauces were excellent. We did, however, experience some problems with the dish - the accompanying crepes were delivered in a bamboo steamer basket with paper between them, including paper as the top layer, and we were not cautioned that the restaurant was providing a nominally inedible product along with the expected crepes (equivalent to pancakes for peking duck). The problem we had was that due to the dim lighting and removal of the table light from the side with the steamer, my wife did not notice the paper atop the crepes. She took the top, paper one and served me the next, actual crepe. We then added duck and sauce to them and ate them. I could not understand why she complained about how tough the crepes were and how she couldn’t taste the duck until I served myself the next crepe on the pile, a paper one. I didn’t actually realize it was paper until I looked at the pile with light from my iPhone. Shortly after I realized this and told my wife what I had learned, a manager came by and asked how we were enjoying the meal. A heated, though quiet, conversation ensued during which the manager declined to identify whether the paper was edible, offered to call EMS for my wife, and ultimately comped the meal, which was mostly uneaten, and told us we could just leave after walking off in a huff carrying the duck tower. We were left with the impression that the manager thought we were foolish hicks, though a waiter told us he ate paper, too, as we left.

    Excited to try this new restaurant out and it didn’t disappoint. The moment you enter the warm, rich ambience kicks in. This interior is simply stunning and if you’re lucky (we weren’t) you might have a view of Columbus Circle and Central Park. We had a great waitress who made sure we understood each dish, which is nothing like a traditional Thai or Vietnamese restaurant might serve. My wife enjoyed her steamed bass while my shaken beef was absolutely delicious. Also had the chicken satay, which I have to admit was sub par. We’ve been to most of the restaurants owned and operated by Quality Restaurant Group, and Twin Tails is a hit. Definitely recommend.
