Went to Townhouse for appetizers and drinks, ahead of a later dinner reservation elsewhere. We had the Dips & Chips, which was phenomenal. The chives on top of the dip were 👌🏻. The drinks were great, our server was absolutely amazing. I wish I had caught her name. The edible birthday candle had to be my favorite...the vibe overall and ambiance was also wonderful. I definitely would like to come back again, next time for a full dinner.

My boyfriend and I did not plan ahead and make reservations anywhere for Valentine’s Day. So we were pleasantly surprised they had bar seating available and we were able to enjoy a nice dinner. We got the Mac and cheese, filet steak with veggies and my boyfriend got the tomahawks steak. I think our menu was different than the usual menu as it was a Valentine’s Day edition. We got the wontons as an appetizer, which was delicious. The only issue we had with dinner was our sushi did not get brought out until we were about to leave but they immediately fixed this inconvenience by removing it from our bill along with a few drinks we ordered to accommodate the mishap. A big highlight for me was my martini the little messages on the drinks on top of the foam were so cute. The food was very delicious. It was not too loud in there which was also nice it was a great dinner atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

I will be going back here! I loved the atmosphere. The staff was excellent. Our waitress was top tier! I ordered the Dayboat Calamari and the west coast vibes sushi roll. The drink pictured is the Welcome Home and it was delicious. I will be going back. It’s great for any occasion, girls night, date night and even solo night.

I used to love coming here with my family and I started bringing my friends here once I moved downtown one of my favorite spots but last night I went here and had one of my least favorite experiences. It’s made me rethink all my experiences here and I honestly don’t know how to feel about it. The hostess served for us but it was just attitude, she looked at us gave us hesitation and said we could see about seating. The place was not packed but she told us we’d have to share menus (pulled out 4 and put 2 back) when we walked to our table every single one that had food on them had their menus stacked high on the side. The table we were given was way too cramped for 4 people and when we asked to move to another 4 person booth we were told we’d need more people and that they might have a reservation… it was Monday at 7pm the place was not full… we moved to the new table and sat for a minute before deciding where our money was best spent. Anyways we got up and left went over to parc and had a wonderful night!! Don’t know if I’ll be coming back but we’ll see!!! FYI the hostess was the one in the bright red dress the only thing poppin about her was her attitude and lack of character. Thanks!! ~ Detroit E

Expensive but worth it! We shared the Salmon entree and they split it for us! So a single entree amount is the combination of the two plates pictured. It was delicious! We also shared a brussel sprout appetizer and it too was delicious!

Townhouse is a gem of a restaurant that delivers an unforgettable dining experience. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the stylish ambiance and attentive service. The dishes were nothing short of exquisite—every bite was bursting with flavor. We particularly enjoyed the perfectly cooked filet mignon and the truffle mac and cheese, which was creamy and decadent. The craft cocktails were a highlight too, adding a touch of sophistication to our meal. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into every detail here, and we left feeling both satisfied and delighted.

Love the atmosphere of this establishment which is why a group of 10 girls went for a bday dinner! Burgers were large and very tasty, fish and chips were great too. A friend ordered the salmon and was disappointed by the size and lack of flavor. Sushi was a hit as well as the truffle fries! My only complaint is the restaurant was chilly yet the bathroom was SO HOT. Overall great experience. I’d love to try brunch next time.

Food was okay. Brussels sprouts were pretty nice, wish they were a bit more crispy. Asked for medium rare wagyu and it was served medium well. Staff were friendly but service was slow. The food and drinks took long to come but it seemed like it was a busy Friday night for them. The location is nice!! Sat in the patio area and that was a cool atmosphere.
