Yum. This was the best meal we had in Petoskey, hands down. We had dinner here last Saturday night, and really enjoyed ourselves. We had a table with a beautiful view of the water (although practically every table has a good view - this place is on the small side, so reservations are highly suggested).

Great server, yummy eats, and inline prices. Will be back again. Eclectic menu done right. Open kitchen. Could've stayed forever. Ate brunch here and was very impressed. Veggie burger was one of the best I've ever had.

Wow! Twisted Olive was an experience you have to endure! From the moment you walk in, you are greeted by practically everyone who sees you to assure you haven't waited too long. It looks as if it was originally a home that transpired into this elegant quaint restaurant that offers views of little Traverse bay from all corners of the... More

Vegetarians finally have a place to eat in Petoskey and even eat on a patio if you like. Delicious interesting food. This place is super crowded though in the summer. Had a bit of a wait so if you are hungry at noon just go somewhere else.

I've been going to Twisted Olive since its inception. Breakfast is awesome...French toast, omelettes, eggs Benedict...yum. Chocolate indulgence...yum. Now offering dinner...yum! Sea Bass is great, steak is fine. Prices are not cheap, but nice change from other expensive restaurants in town. I like sitting at the small bar and people watching. Reservations a must in summer.

My suggestion is that you start your day with the delicious omelet of the day, shop for awhile and then return for a lunch consisting of one of Twisted's incredible salads, pizzas and a cup of their soup of the day, shop some more and then return for a dinner that will make your taste buds beg for more.
