It seems that our tradition has been to spend Marisa’s birthday in Boone. Her favorite restaurant is Twig’s in Blowing Rock. It is certainly a great choice for a special occasion. Twig’s charming twig covered arbor beckons you into the cozy restaurant with a charming mountain decor. The twinkling white lights through the restaurant gives it that festive flair that keeps us coming back.
The fare is always a contemporary touch and interesting twist on some classic dishes. One of my favorites is their house speicalty: Crab Cakes with nantua butter. Michael is in love with their New Zealand Lamb Chops with mango chutney. Mady, who has been a vegetarian for 5 years has recently decided to be a carnivore again. She embraced it with gusto and devoured her NY Strip with cabernet portobello sauce. Goo and Evan both had the Yellowfin Tuna.
Happy Birthday my sweet Goo
