No reservations are being accepted and all profits are being donated to the Tunkhannock Tree Association during this time.
Second is our Twigs Wine Dinner. Enjoy a night of Twigs-Style fine dining in our newly renovated private party room located just above our main floor. Our chefs have worked diligently to provide one-of-a-kind savory dishes for you that can only a restaurant like Twigs Café can produce.
