Twist at Crawford in City of London

We were seated downstairs, and it was simply too load. Too many people for too little space. It greatly impacted the experience negatively. Food was fine, but wouldnt go back.

It's hard to know why it doesn't work but it doesn't. Reading other reviews I tend towards style over substance. When you spend big, more than the wine should please. Service was attentive but somehow offhand at the same time. Descriptions of plates were lost in garbles. It was quite humorous. The food however was ordinary. I won't return at £100 ahead I'm quite looking forward to what the owner has to say, I bet it's condescending.

Twist Connubio has gone right to the top of my list of favourite London restaurants. We experienced great service as soon as we walked through the door and the staff were happy to answer all our questions.The T Bone steak was excellent and up there with some of the best I've had in London and the Basque Cheesecake was also a highlight. 5/5 can't wait to visit again.

This meal is perhaps one of the best, if not the best, meal I have ever had. We are both big foodies so that is saying something! We went for the a la carte tasting menu with the paired wines as it was a special occasion for us and we were not disappointed - it's pricey but worth every penny. Our only real regret was that we couldn't just keep eating! Some standouts: anchovy butter, the tomatoes, the oyster mushrooms (I don't even like mushrooms but these were so good!) and of course the T bone steak which was cooked to perfection. All the wines were perfectly paired and delicious and we got to try some wines we wouldn't normally go for including a fizzy red wine. On top of all that, the service was top notch too. We can't wait to come back.

One of the best meals I've ever had. Highlights were the bone marrow with caviar and the iberico pluma. The dessert special was dulce de leche cake with peanut ice cream - I'd like to start a petition to add this to the menu! I would 100% recommend and I cannot wait to go again.

Lovely tapas and the tasting menu have great options (small, medium, or large) and good value wine pairings - 3, 4, 5 (I think) glasses respectively. We ordered bone marrow which was the highlight of the evening! Lovely, didn't let us down for our anniversary dinner!

Good service, cosy atmosphere, a bit squashed in but it added to the atmosphere. We had the small sharing menu with the recommended wines. Very tasty, enough food for us who were not starving hungry. Would be good for a date, my group of 4 was slightly unusual as most tables were of two.

Nice ambiance and lovely Jazz when we visited. However a restaurant is ultimately about food, and this is where Twist falls short. It is the worst kind of tapas: you overpay for small portions of mediocre food. The chef tries to reinvent classic dishes, but more often than not, the reinventions don't work.Example: the bone marrow. For 12 pounds, it arrives as one small portion, with almost no marrow in it. But it does have caviar on top! The strange caviar-marrow combination didn't work. One has to wonder if the caviar was added to be able to charge more for the marrow, which can usually be obtained for free at a butcher shop.The marrow came with nothing to eat it with. Good marrow is like butter. It is much more pleasant to eat on bread, preferably toasted to provide contrast, than to have directly with a spoon. By itself, it is just greasy.We asked for toasted bread to eat it with. After giving us a strange look, the server brought untoasted bread, with olive oil and anchovy butter, as if to underline that the marrow was to be eaten separately. The bread was stale.The manager noticed our displeasure. After we explained that the bone had no marrow in it, he told us that the bone weighed 450 grams (not sure what it weighed, but not really relevant!). When we said that we asked for toasted bread with the marrow, he condescendingly said that this is not supermarket bread, it is homemade, and so should be eaten fresh. I suppose one can debate whether it is appropriate to ask for bread to be toasted in the oven first so it will hold up its shape for eating with foie gras or marrow. One cannot debate whether one should serve bread that is stale and dry (see picture).Other dishes: the oyster mushrooms were drowning in oil and lousy. The octopus and potatoes were good, although the potatoes were slightly undercooked. The courgette flower was delicious, although note that you are charged per flower. My Spanish partner was insistent that the tortilla was incorrect -- the outside being "dry" and the inside being runny. I liked it, although found it a bit salty.To his credit, the manager did give us 15% off following our complaints, but only after disputing the merit of our complaints and insinuating that we were unsophisticated. Oh, and they left on a charge for 4 pounds for the stale bread!

Pleasant place. Entrees were better than appetizers. Bone marrow and courgette was very mediocre. Pluma and wagyu were good but wouldn’t go back. Nothing mind blowing at all. The desserts were probably the best. We got the basque cake, dolce de leche and rum brunet

Great selection of tapas dishes with a nice atmosphere. Would recommend the octopus and the courgette flower. The special the night we went was white truffle pasta which was delicious! Great for sharing multiple dishes and trying different options.
