R.I.P. Twist

Twist Restaurant was one of our all-favorite restaurants in the area.  Hyde Park, despite being the home to the C.I.A. (not that C.I.A.), is not a bastion of fine dining establishments (although we do love the Hyde Park Brewing Company and the Eveready Diner).  Twist was an oasis -- the food was truly excellent and the staff always made us feel like regulars.  We noticed it was closed a few weeks back, and according the the Poughkeepsie Journal it has gone out of business for good.  Let's hope that Chef Benjamin Mauk opens up another place in the area soon!
