Chef Nathan Rich curates the tasting menu at Twin Farms with the help of a good team.  They were in the midst of a kitchen expansion when we were there which will add the option of chef’s dinners in the kitchen and a window for guests in the dining room to look into the kitchen action.  On  the menu it states that they will modify the tasting if you chose to have it consecutive nights but with their flexibility in plating it’s easy to create your own tasting of the options that interest you.  The server will caution you that the tasting takes at least 2 hours as it’s about 10 courses.  There were no amuse or extras course not on the menu but it did take over 2 hours however the pacing was quite slow.  Wine pairings are available or there are a limited number of bottles you can order, that are included in your fee or there is a reserve wine list that comes with an additional fee.  The pairing pours are mostly from bottles the sommelier chooses and they are not on the list for you to chose from.  They are usually well matched but mostly inexpensive wines.  When the room grew crowded it was mostly impossible for the sommelier to refill an empty glass in a timely fashion.  Overall the tasting was good but I found it interesting that the only fish was the lobster salad in an appetizer.   Also the bread is its own course and not served to go with the entire meal (an annoying trend I’ve noted in other restaurant tastings).  If you want to see our 2024 tasting menu dinner click here.  I hope you’ll let me know what you think if you go!
