Twisted Olive

Twisted Olive is a restaurant in Bethlehem, PA. It serves food from around the world with a twist, drawing on Italian, Spanish, Moroccan, and Thai styles rather than tying itself to a single cuisine. The kitchen is led by Chef Steve, who was voted Lehigh Valley's Favorite Chef. The restaurant opened in 2013 as the dream of Chef Steve and his wife, Sherri, who took the name from their favorite restaurant, the Black Olive in Baltimore, Maryland, and set out to create a fresh, fun, approachable place. Menus cover lunch and dinner, with a wine list of reds and whites and a drinks selection that includes mocktails and beer, martinis and cocktails. Twisted Olive is also known for house infusions, with consistently changing flavors and a creative mix of house cocktails alongside the classics. Reservations are recommended for both indoor and outdoor seating. It holds a rating of 4.50 based on 51 reviews.

The restaurant sits on West Broad Street in Bethlehem. The Bethlehem Police Training Center and the Center City Substation are both about a tenth of a mile away, as is the ESU Lehigh Valley Campus and the Bethlehem Transportation Center.

Twisted Olive has built a solid reputation among the customers it has served, with a steady record of repeat and referred customers. In a city with plenty of places to eat, that following comes from a kitchen that keeps its ideas fresh and a bar that keeps its infusions changing.
