We came here for a dinner and ghost tour of this historic building. The owner was very friendly and shared the history of the building . My wife had the filet of soul and I had the chicken Marsala. Both portions were gigantic and tasty.

It was not as spooky as we thought it was going to be, but for the price of the pre fixe meal and ghost tour, it’s still worth it. The food was good and the staff was nice.

I was always curious to try Twisted Vine, especially since I heard it was haunted, so we made a visit for dinner tonight! The vibe was definitely unique – you could feel the history in the building, and the original bank vault was right there in the dining room. The menu had a great variety to choose from. Our waitress was friendly, and we appreciated that the owner made an effort to come by to every table to check in and have a conversation. Our food was good! We agreed that the tortellini was the star out of the three dishes we had. My dad’s ravioli dish was swimming a bit in the scampi sauce. He felt that for being lobster crab ravioli, it generally needed some more flavor, but that it was perfectly al dente. We also were a bit surprised at the lack of flavor in the bread that was served at the beginning. My dad asked for an espresso martini, but we were told that their coffee maker was broken, and when he then asked for a mule, they said they didn’t have a ginger beer. Overall, I think there’s some room for improvement, but we would consider coming back since we’re often in the area.

A haunted bank couldn’t be a better place for a dinner date. Friendly staff, good food and fun folklore. Paul even took us on a late night tour!

The food was unbelievably wonderful and the staff, waiters, and Mike (the owner) are magnificent! The ambiance is not only friendly but the experience there is truly heart warming and humble. The price of the meals align perfectly with how delicious the food is and it is truly an unforgettable experience overall! We went there for our wedding anniversary on 10-31-2021 and it was worth the trip, money and experience! Thank you for making our anniversary an unforgettable experience

We went here for the paranormal dinner and tour its an old bank from the 1960’s which became it’s first restaurant around the 1970,s it was called the Birmingham restaurant then another owner took over changed the name. And now the owner Mike has had it for the last 16yrs and it has been the Twisted vine restaurant since. With lots and lots of exciting history and haunted stories and paranormal activities since day one. You can buy tickets online for many different things and events they have. Or just go for a very very tasty dinner. With amazing service very welcoming and polite staff. And an unbelievable atmosphere and decor. Awesome evening we had an will 100% be going back.

First time here! I enjoyed my time at the twisted vine! Took part in a paranormal ghost dinner! Food was amazing and staff was friendly and helpful! Very knowledgeable! The manager was even around and came up to our table and thanked us for coming out since I live almost a hour away! It was worth it I had an amazing time there. Definitely caught some orbs in pictures! Really enjoyed this restaurant and I will be back in the future!

I came after seeing the show Kindred Spirits and learning how it’s a haunted restaurant. The owner Mike is wonderful – personable and knowledgeable. We had a few minor paranormal experiences (light and recording orbs). The building is amazing. The food is excellent too. We come from an hour away to the Twisted Vine and always leave ready to plan our next visit.

Great food & great ambiance. Formally an 1800’s bank which was converted to a restaurant. Lots of paranormal activity, featured on the show Kindred Spirits. We went for a Paranormal Dinner and were allowed to tour the attic and basement. Very interesting. Would highly recommend, food was excellent, reasonably priced & attentive staff!

Food and wait staff are top par! Came for the Paranormal Ghost tour and dinner and Mike and Dave did a phenomenal job! The food was spectacular and the portions were HUGE! The history of the Birmingham Bank is very interesting and eerie considering what happened! The tour is a MUST for those who like a taste of the paranormal, as your view of the 5 floors of the original bank WILL consist of orb activity at the least!
