Taylor said he has hired a chef de cuisine, Pete Zorotovic, in part so Taylor can be more visible in the front of the house. The restaurant also will expand into catering and hosting special events, Taylor said.
Twisted Root will open with 14 employees, including several who previously worked at Savona, Taylor said. It will seat about 80 people. Taylor is developing a craft-beer list and a bourbon list to complement the restaurant’s wine list. Local artists will display their work on the restaurant’s walls, and Twisted Root will source many of its ingredients from local growers, Taylor said.
When it opens this week, Twisted Root’s hours will be Tuesday through Thursday 5 to 9 p.m., Friday and Saturday 5 to 10 p.m., closed Sunday and Monday. Taylor said he is considering expanding hours to include lunch service, perhaps later this year.
