The enthusiasm of sitting down and sharing a table with friends and family makes everyone feel excited to be together and happy to share a relaxing, upscale dining experience. Many believe a shared table creates some of life’s greatest moments and memories.
Science and research have determined that dining together is a fundamental human tradition that actively releases endorphins in the brain and fosters social bonds, empathy, and trust. The social interaction with others around a table improves mental and physical well-being, which can lead to healthier dietary choices and stronger emotional health.
Generally, one of the first topics of conversation at such gatherings at Gervasi is about the food at the venue. First, diners want to know from others what is good at the restaurant, and repeat diners are anxious to share their recommendations and their favorite meals.

This first Gervasi Talk Around the Table will feature some of the main courses offered at The Bistro, The Crush House, OLINDA and The Twisted Olive. Future Talk Around the Table features will highlight the pasta and meatball dining options at The Bistro, The Crush House and The Twisted Olive, seafood dining at OLINDA and The Twisted Olive, sandwiches at The Crush House and OLINDA, wine and spirits at The Still House and coffee and desserts at all locations.
If the group is seated at one of the exquisite venues at Gervasi Vineyard (GV), such as The Bistro in Canton, OLINDA in Jackson Township, or The Twisted Olive in Green, all of the menu items are top-notch and amazing, plus they are made by a kitchen staff that includes some of the area’s best of the best chefs.
Talk around a Bistro, OLINDA, or Twisted Olive table usually includes a discussion about the steaks, ribs, and one of the favorites for many GV diners, pork chops, served at the GV restaurants.
