We visited Twin Tails on Friday for a celebratory dinner, and it was nothing short of perfect. Located across from Bad Roman in Columbus Circle, this elevated Thai restaurant exceeded expectations in every way - ambiance, service, and food.We opted for the tasting menu for two, and it was an incredible experience. Every dish was bold, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Portions were generous - we were more than satisfied and even brought home leftovers. Not a single miss on the menu; each plate was a standout.For drinks, we tried the Lipstick Palm, Manhattan Sling, and Bangkok Screwdriver. The Lipstick Palm quickly became my favorite (then again, I love mezcal). The Manhattan Sling packed quite a punch - stronger than I usually prefer, so I’d likely skip it next time. The Bangkok Screwdriver, on the other hand, was light and refreshing.Overall, Twin Tails delivered an outstanding dining experience. If you’re looking for a spot in Columbus Circle to celebrate a special occasion or simply enjoy inventive Thai cuisine in a chic setting, this is it. - Nur E.
