Twisted Table

 

The Careless Cook doesn’t promote many restaurants.  His standard says it all:  If I could do better myself, I won’t go back.

Twisted Table in downtown Fernandina Beach, Florida meets the test in a big way.  I can’t do better!  Not only The Careless Cook, but those close and dear to him have eaten there as well. Did they like it?  Better than like, Loved!  They stopped strangers on the street to spread the news and salivated while they talked about it!

Time to take you inside of this cozy bistro and let you see for yourself:

Just step through the welcoming door

Small, but oh so comfortable

Small and elegant things matter

Twisted Table has a limited menu and limited opening hours, both are for the benefit of their customers.  Everything is made in house, with one chef, the owner and manager, Rhonda Gilliam and one waiter, her son, Alec.

Chef, Owner, Manager and Waitstaff of One

Friendly? Both treat you as if they’ve known you forever and are glad to see you again.

Another thing, “family run and a limited menu” means they honor their customers by taking extreme pride in the cuisine.  Just one example:  Quiche (with ingredients that change often).  The gold standard is found in Loraine, France. You have to look no further than Twisted Table to find a very close match! Brings back memories. Mai oui!

Indoor space at Twisted Table is at a premium and so is the outdoor porch, but people and especially the regulars are flocking.  One couple comes for breakfast every morning Twisted Table is open.  

The Careless Cook found this wonderful bistro only a week or two ago and has already plopped down at a table four or five times!

But, what if you don’t want a full meal or a full breakfast?  Hey, drop in for coffee and toast, or just coffee.  Now, ‘bout time to talk about the menu…..no it isn’t. Time to show you some photos and let your taste buds do the rest!

Breakfast, The Careless Cook's favorite meal

But what if you prefer a croissant rather than a biscuit?

Let's have some stew

And what if you would rather have mashed potatoes instead of rice with your fabulous Beef Stew?

And some days, The Careless Cook just craves a simply wonderful vegetable soup

These are representative of foods the Careless Cook and his friends have enjoyed. But, be aware some specials that are not on the menu change frequently.
