Twin Oaks is overrated and I'll die on this hill

My first and only time I went to Twin Oaks was after a funeral for someone I didn't really know. There were unlimited free drinks and I had a giant chicken parm. Pretty view of the pond. There was also this really cute husky dog that was chatting me up. 8/10 experience

Twin Oaks is properly rated. It's overrated by the old, underrated by the young. Not as good as it used to be, but a decent dinner out.

I disagree. I went and got chicken Parm there once and it was literally a sysco chicken round patty. Don't try to sell me that shit in Cranston where there are about 100 good Italian restaurants

Even their turkey club is uninspiring

We used to go 8 or 9 times a year and it was always fun bringing out of towners there, since it's such an old school place (and the food was always great). I would say since the pandemic the food has taken a drastic turn for the worst. Like mentioned below, their chicken parm is made with a battered frozen patty now. Their veal is fake unless you specifically ask for 'real veal'. We had a first timer order chicken marsala last month and it was downright gross (I've had this in the past there and it was decent). The service is always great but with all this Fung/Trump stuff and the quality of food we ain't going back any time soon.

Cassarino's has been our go-to since we've been soured on Twin Oaks the last few times.

There was a change of chef a year or two ago. Food is just not the same since.
