"The restaurant week menu featured 3 courses. An opening course that was both great tasting and imaginative. My table shared a wonderful goat cheese and beat salad as well as a lemon ricada dish. Would recommend both dishes to others. The second and main course was less impressive. Wagyu beef was very tender. But the sweet notes from balsamic vinegar and the coffee rub just didn't wow me. It wasn't the best steak I have had by a long shot and it was, with an addition 35$ fee, at substantially larger price then that steak. I will note that it was served with an interesting mushroom variant. but the mushrooms were rather bland alone or with the fairly subtly flavored steak. instead they were a good addition to the other main dish we had. Speaking of witch, the Bolognese was boring. Not bad, it was standard fair tasty Bolognese. Original pasta choice with large flat sections that were perfectly cooked. Not too much, not too little. A good sausage meat sauce and a small crumble of what might have been goat chease on top. It was good, and if it was at a standard restaurant for 20$ I would not turn up my nose at it, though I would not order it again. It was far beneath Provisional's price and quality bracket. This was their opportunity to wow me into coming back and it just wasn't impressive. Although the mushrooms from the Wagyu beef helped considerably. Third course was desert. And it was phenomenal. Both options of a deconstructed Tiramisu and a strawberry semifredo were well worth coming back to. I won't go into to many details but simply say I do recommend either, but with an emphasis on the strawberry. The opener and closer for the meal were spectacular, well worth the price. It was only the main course that felt like they went cheep on it. A sad miss for the restaurant. I would not recommend goin there at the price point given. Not when the restaurants surrounding it are so very good."

"The parking lot to this establishment is often filled to the brim! We decided to swing by during lunch hour as there were not as many cars in the lot. We were immediately seated, the decor, a bit outdated, quite possibly the same decor from the prior owners, that is not a fact though, as I 'm not certain. I was curious to know what the lure of his place was and I quickly came to learn what Twin peak was all about just by looking around. I would almost say that it is a modern day Hooters but I probably shouldn 't count them out yet because they are still up and kicking he-he. I could not help but notice that the majority of the patrons were men, mainly older and middle aged. The uniforms were very skimpy shorts and very revealing tops. The women are beautiful, I can 't help but to believe that they are very careful and particular during the interviewing process. Our server was delightful. She Was able to answer questions regarding the menu, even stood around and made small talk, very nice. On to the food, and I already checked out the menu prior to our arrival and I knew because I was keeping ut keto that I was going to try the smoke chicken wings out, my love wanted fish and chips, but the chips to be replaced with onion rings, my side was green beans but I didn 't realize that it had pork in it which I do not eat so I passed that on to my honey and he said that it was not a stitch of seasoning on it. My wing portion was as expected, however what we were not expecting was for my honey to only receive one piece of fish. We asked if that was the regular portion size and was told yes. This lunch was pretty expensive for what was received, we had no business stopping in the first place but we could not avoid it because of the type of traffic they receive, the curiosity piqued our interest. YOU DON 'T DO HERE FOR FOOD that 's for sure. With that being said we will not be returning."
