    I had an amazing dining experience at TWH Social! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and welcoming, with a cozy yet stylish vibe. The staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations. We shared a bunch of apps and one main. We had the charcuterie board, which was filled with a variety of options. Honestly one of the best charcuterie boards offered in KW. The oysters were so fresh and presented perfectly. The steak and frites were cooked excellent and they even gave us a lavender dessert to end the night. I also appreciated the drink selection, with some unique cocktails and a solid wine list. They have Prosecco on tap, which is always a great touch. Sahil, our server, was attentive and accommodating. The whole team was very welcoming. Overall, TWH Social exceeded our expectations. It’s clear that the chefs and staff are passionate about their craft. Whether you're here for a casual meal or a special occasion, this place is a gem. Highly recommend! I’ll definitely be back.

    My husband and I have been to Trio quite a few times, for special occasions and spontaneous outings. We have also enjoyed the experience on a date together and with a large group. We are never let down! We especially enjoy doing the Trio tasting menu and have always been more than satisfied by what we're served. The servings are always delicious and unique. The service is exceptional and very kind. I would recommend Trio to anyone who wants a food experience, not simply a good meal. Trio provides more than that in every way.

    It was our first time and everything was amazing from start to finish. The service was great and the food that was prepared by Edgard (Head Chef) was amazing… even took the time to put together a dish for my special dietary needs. The crispy Brussels sprouts are a must have! We’ll definitely be back
