Absolutely excellent. Fantastic cocktails and an elevated food experience. We had the fluke, escargot, monkfish and chocolate... souffle. Each dish was memorable and extremely well executed. The service was top notch from start to finish. Ambience was cozy,intimate and beautiful. This was a next level experience all around. Highly recommend. Read more
My friend and I stopped by for a quick drink and some grub before heading home. The bartender was very attentive and courteous.... The food and presentation was great. I look forward to coming back for dinner. Read more
Celebrated my birthday here with my husband over Labor Day weekend. Service was excellent and the food blew us away. Highly... recommend the fluke and mouse patè. Space is cozy and intimate with a fantastic music playlist that the chef curates. Read more
Absolutely delicious. Whether you're coming in to sit at the bar or in the dining room, you will not be disappointed. You have... the option to choose either a la carte or the tasting menu and evey item on the menu is exquisite. East Passyunk Ave has a lotto offer and offers some of the best restaurants in town. Townsend is a perfect example. Read more
We had a wonderful brunch experience. My partner and I came here with another couple and their 10 month old child. The... restaurant staff was very friendly and accommodating in getting us settled. The brunch cocktails were phenomenal, especiallythe breakfast old fashioned! The food was also very good. Everything came out promptly and was delicious. My personal favoriteswere the steamed cockles, vanilla french toast, and the pavlova. My partner and I had been here previously for dinner andloved it and were very pleased with brunch as well. We'll definitely be back! Read more
My husband and I love to eat and trying new places. While we have been to Townsend before, this was the first time trying the... tasting menu. For $100, you get a lot and get a lovely adventure of the taste buds. Now, it has been 5 months since we had adate night (newborns will do that), but we thoroughly enjoyed our time. Our server was also very attentive and kind. The beeftartar and the skate were my favorite. Read more
Absolutely incredible food, service, and experience. Excellent romantic date spot with a cherished partner.
I?ve been mulling over the recent tasting menu visit about 2 weeks ago. First off automatic one star off for those chairs. I... still think about how horrid and uncomfortable those chairs were both my partner and I both expressed pain after sitting forthis meal. As for the meal itself, first course had too much maple couldn?t really taste the savoriness of the pumpkin thepepitas were a nice addition I always seemed to get one every other spoon full. The sea bass was tasty although the portion wasa bit smaller than I was expecting. Like a two oz piece. I think at least 4 ounces would?ve sufficed. Otherwise it was wellbalanced. The wild mushrooms risotto was the most bland dish of the night and sorely lacked a mushroom presence. Two smallpieces of mushroom. One would think there would be more pieces and variety in a wild mushroom risotto. Very lackluster. Searedduck breast was quite delicious and was my favorite part of the meal but also lacked a good portion being about the same as thefish course only 2 ounces needing to be 4 ounces in my opinion. Otherwise it was a welcome addition to the menu. The chocolatesoufflé was okay although I wished I knew the server was going to bust open my soufflé and drown it with the glacé. Iwould?ve asked for it on the side so I may use it at my own pleasure. Had a duck a l?orange which was tasty. And my partner hadsome wine which we both liked. Ambiance was okay. But always being put near the speakers of a music system didn?t help withconversation on the table. Glad it wasn?t too cold either outside otherwise would have had to deal with the heat of thefireplace. Overall the meal was okay. Still left us hungry even after two bread baskets. Had to go to an Indian place down theblock for some food. Read more
