Twenty

I grew up around Wabash. It has not been the kind of town that I would associate with having good restaurants. I was very surprised by Twenty. It’s a beautiful little restaurant with pretty darn good food. The salmon that I had was cooked perfectly. My mom and sister both really enjoyed their lunches also but the real tasty treat was the tiramisu for dessert. It was not listed on the menu but we asked anyway. It happened to be the chef’s special dessert for the day. I will definitely be going back and would also like to try a few of the other restaurants nearby. Downtown Wabash is being revitalized and is not the same as I remember from childhood. It is definitely better.

Impressive food for a surprising hotel in an adorable little town. I was not as familiar with Wabash IN as I should have been.
The food was very good with very fresh salads and sandwiches. The French onion soup was perfect with the cheese crisped delightfully to the outside of the bowl. They have an impressive selection of lighter fare, wraps and salads.
I have heard their brunches are not to be missed but haven’t had the chance.
The sweet potato fries weren’t the best I have ever had. They were warm (not hot) and served under a pile of brown sugar. They were dry enough the brown sugar appeared to be just a garnish as they didn’t contribute any flavor to the fries.
The hotel that hosts the restaurant is worth a future visit to check out.

Had a party of 8 dinner here and it was amazing! Good wine list with reasonable prices, great service and yummy food. The Bleu Ice salad was great and the breaded pork chops were to die for! Chef’s Apple, white cheddar mashed potatoes were good as were the parsnips and carrots. Smoked pork tenderloin was good, but a little dry. Other folks at the table also really enjoyed the filet and salmon. Topped it off with hazelnut and Irish coffee and we were happy! Such a treat to find in Wabash!

This was my first time eating in wabash, but definitely not my last! I had the BLT salad and it was delicious! (Huge though, although the leftovers the next day were just as good as the first time!) very nice upscale vibe to it. will definitely come back again if I am ever in the area.

Unbelievable! I would give it 10 stars if I could! This is a MUST stop for everyone. If you want to bring your wife/​husband/​significant other, to a fabulous dinner, this is the place.

Guess who is coming back here for every meal in Wabash, IN?! This guy.
All catching openings aside, not only is the hotel phenomenal, a wine and cheese shop built in, but the Charle Creek Inn has a brilliant restaurant also. Twenty gave me a very comfortable, yet upscale vibe as my friend and I met for an early dinner.
I started with a glass of wine and contemplated an appetizer, but looking over the steak portion of the menu, we decided to pass. My colleague chose the filet and I the delmonico. We both started with a salad which was spot on, but the real fun was the main course.
My fontina mashed potatoes were a perfect accompaniment to the steak (which I ordered blackened with blue cheese crumbles). My steak was cooked perfectly and they weren’t shy on the blue cheese (see picture). I was pleasantly surprised with the side of sautéed bean sprouts and kale (?) which I gobbled up. A welcome substation for the typical steamed vegetable that helped up level the meal a bit more.
I’ve been in many small towns around the nation, so to find a gem like Twenty (let alone the Inn itself) nestled downtown makes the trip all the better. Thanks to these experiences I’m eager to return to Wabash, IN and look forward to my stay at the Charle Creek Inn.

Had a late lunch in mid-​week with family, including a toddler. Found this to be a terrific restaurant and the wait staff was exceptionally attentive and friendly. We had pizza, tuna melt and French dip wrap. Everything was delicious. And the sweet potato fries were especially good. Will definitely come here again.

We were the only people in the restaurant on a Saturday afternoon. It took 45 min to get our food. My 4 year old and 6 year old were bouncing off the walls. If we weren’t starving, we would’ve walked out. My kids ordered the baked linguini… I’ve had better at Fazolis for half the cost. I had the Saigon Salmon salad that was supposed to come with strawberry vinaigrette dressing. When it came out it had honey mustard dressing and missing half the ingredients stated on the menu like it was no big deal. We ate the food but I could’ve fed my family tastier food at Mickey D’s for a fraction of the cost. Won’t be back.

The food was out standing!! it was hubby’s reunion so had about 50 people showing up so space was kinda small. and later that night the co2 ran out for the beer. wish they had it back stocked or had some type of back up plan. other then that it was a good place to dine in.

An off the road choice. Unilocal had it right. 5 stars. Great Art Deco atmosphere. Great wine list reasonably priced. Great menu I had the scallops with a Mild sweet chili sauce. Wonderful. My wife had beef fajita salad and loved it. Had chocolate pecan pie with an Irish coffee. Just right. Further it was open on a Sunday evening. Will do it again.

We had dinner here last night. We started with the blackened ahi tuna, it was simply amazing. I never thought I would see that in Wabash. The salad was pretty standard and the prime rib stew was very good. My main course was the lobster Mac and cheese. It was really good, large portion. If thee was anything wrong it had a few too many breadcrumbs scattered on top. My wife had the filet mignon. As an earlier reviewer said, they don’t know how to cook steak there. She ordered rare, and got it medium well. Not enough heat on the grill their using. The rolls they brought out were great and they have a cinnamon honey butter with it that was awesome. Our server was Debbie and she did a great job with just the right amount of attention. We will return on our next trip to Wabash, without ordering the steak.

I had such high hopes for this place. My girlfriend and I were looking online for a place to eat lunch and found Twenty. On the surface, it appeared to be a great place to get a good meal; however, in practice, Twenty only served to disappoint.
We walked into the Charley Creek Inn for a late lunch — around 1:30 or so on a Sunday. We figured that the restaurant might be somewhat busy at this time. Perhaps we would catch the tail end of the church-​going crowd. Unfortunately, the restaurant was deserted. This should have tipped me off that we would leave disappointed, but we pressed onward.
For our appetizer, I ordered the cream of asparagus soup, while my girlfriend ordered a Caesar Salad. My soup was all right, though it could have used a pinch of salt. My girlfriend’s salad, on the other hand, was too finely chopped, over-​dressed, came with a side of a cracker made of burnt Parmesan cheese, and came with croutons that were as hard as bricks. This should have been our second bad sign about this place, that they cannot make a simple salad properly.
As for entrees, I ordered the Chicken Carbonara pasta, while my girlfriend got their Angus Burger. My pasta tasted bland and came in a rather small portion. My girlfriend’s burger was extremely greasy to the point where the grease had soaked through the bun before it ever made its way to the table. Furthermore, the burger was cooked well-​done although my girlfriend had ordered it medium-​well. Finally, the fries that came with the meal were clearly frozen, crinkle-​cut french fries, likely from GFS food supply company.
So the entrees and appetizer weren’t great. My girlfriend and I stuck around to see if Twenty could redeem itself during dessert. As it turns out, we should have deserted. I ordered the Crème Brulee, while she ordered the Molten Chocolate Cake. Let’s start with the Brulee. I have eaten many a Crème Brulee in my life, and I know how one should be prepared. The top should be hard, caramelized, and crunchy (which it was, to their credit), but the custard underneath should be warm and just a bit runny (it was cold and jelly-​like). It wasn’t, and it severely took away from the quality of my dessert.
The Molten Chocolate Cake, on the other hand, was an unqualified disaster. In fact, Twenty seems to have forgotten the first and third words entirely, focusing far too much on the Chocolate, as evidenced by what seemed like a gallon of chocolate syrup on the plate. The cake itself was spongy and bland, and there was no molten chocolate at all. The only thing even close to it was a thin disk of solid chocolate — it may have been molten at one time, but solidified after an entire scoop of ice cream was dumped on top of it. More likely, however, is that the cake in question was microwaved before being served and the restaurant threw the disk of chocolate on top.
To top things off, the service my girlfriend and I received was entirely subpar. Remember how I said that the dining room was completely empty? It took us a good 20 minutes to get our appetizers (a salad and a bowl of soup), and the entrees took even longer than that — I neither know nor wish to know why it took one waitress that long to serve one table. Furthermore, upon explaining our difficulties with the desserts, our waitress claimed that the Molten Chocolate Cake was served that way. Now this brings up 2 distinct possibilities. Either our waitress has no idea what Molten Chocolate Cake is, which is bad, or the restaurant legitimately believes that they served Molten Chocolate Cake, which is arguably worse.
As for the bill, I was charged in the neighborhood of $ 40 — $ 20 per plate. I do not profess to being a picky eater, nor do I believe myself to be a cheapskate. However, I do not find it acceptable to pay $ 20 per person for reheated french fries, a greasy, overcooked burger, bland pasta, bland soup, and desserts that fail on every level. I would much rather take that $ 40 to the grocery store and cook this meal myself (which I could do and have it actually taste like something).
In summation, Twenty gave me and my girlfriend poor food and poor service at a high price, possibly without even realizing the food’s shortcomings. I will not dine here again of my own volition, and I urge you to spend your money elsewhere.

The food is very good, probably the best in town. Unfortunately the service is consistently poor, the portion sizes are small, and the price is much too high for such an impoverished area.

This restaurant is in the Charley Creek Inn. What a pleasant surprise. I was staying at the hotel which is gorgeous and had dinner there with two colleagues. The menu has a large enough selection to satisfy anybody. I had the herb crusted salmon with braised spinich and it was wonderful. My colleagues had one of the dinner salads and the pork loin. All three of us were extremely satisfied with our dinners. For being a hotel restaurant in a relatively small town they hit a grand slam.
Our server Samantha was a rock star. She was attentive without being intrusive and offer great recommendations. I will be back and forth from Wabash frequently and will certainly become a regular.

Twenty is my favorite restaurant (close only to the Barn Brasserie of Muncie).
The ambiance, the food, the cocktails! It is well priced, delicious food. I’m definitely a dessert girl, and they do not disappoint! I recommend booking a beautiful room, eating dinner and many cocktails in Twenty, ordering your dessert as room service, enjoying it, sleeping in the best hotel bed in Indiana, waking up happy and refreshed, showering in the amazing showers, and strolling down to enjoy the fantastic breakfast they serve, preferably with a mimosa. Then wander over to the Salon (fancy term for Art gallery, not hair salon), afterwards buying a bottle (or three) of wine from the wine and cheese shop. Then it’s lunch time again, so head back to Twenty for a kick-​ass salad. THAT is how to get the most enjoyment out of your experience at Twenty. Make a weekend of it!

So delicious! Taking just one star off because the service was SLOW. The food was fantastic though!

This is a review for the bar area late night only.
It was really good and the drinks were well-​priced. They had some nice drinks you can’t get everywhere. (For instance, I enjoy Tito’s vodka.) All of the servers were kind and even remembered us when we went back down a second time.
There was also, randomly, a banjo-​strumming man in a cowboyish outfit. So very random, but he was there both nights so he must be a fixture.
Nice spot for a late night drink.

Great place for Linda’s birthday

I like the hotel and I felt that the menu was nice, however they DO NOT know how to cook steak. Also our food was very lukewarm when we ordered. I was not impressed. I would think an upscale establishment would have higher standards.

My husband took me here for our 17^th wedding anniversary. BEAUTIFUL place! Throughout the course of our 1 ½ hours at the restaurant (due to extremely slow service, not due to our intentions to waste our evening there), there was at most four other tables of diners there. Although our waitress was polite, she was snail slow, forgetful and negilegent. We had to wait 30 minutes to get our appetizers: 4 grilled scallops which arrived lukewarm at best. It was at least another 30 before our sirloin and chicken parm arrived. Such a delay that even the waitress was confused: she brought us the dessert menus assuming we were done with our entrees before they even arrived.
As the entrees were delivered to us, the waitress noticed our drinks were low, so she said she would be right back with refills… we walked out of the place later without ever seeing those. The entrees were not even piping hot from the oven, but felt, again, heatlamp warm at most. The mediocre temperature detracted from the quality of the food. I feel if it had been properly served, it would have been an excellent meal.
Finally, when we were done and leaving, we walked past the hostess stand to observe the manager and two employees standing there talking. Despite our courtesy at any point of not relaying our disappointment with the food or service, none of the three thanked us for our visit or told us goodbye.
Perhaps I have seen too many episodes of «Hell’s Kitchen,» but my expectations and standards were not met. For an upscale dining restaurant (in this area) with higher prices, I expected much more. Also, the low volume of customers in itself warranted better food quality and service from any type of restaurant.
