We were met at the hostess station by none other then Mike Tallon, the proprietor, himself. We had a very nice table for two by the window and the fireplace, which had several candles installed for ambience without the heat (it was late May, after all). Service was prompt, friendly and courteous without being overbearing or vulture-ish. There were several daily specials available that we were made aware of that sounded delicious, but we chose to order off the menu. Both dishes were delicious, cooked as ordered, and with some homemade touches to make them special. The wine list had many unique selections, but both that we tried were good choices at reasonable prices. All in all, a delightful...
We expected much more from Townsend's. The beer was very good but everything else was pretty ordinary. Service was not good even though we were one of only two tables there at 6:30 on a Friday night. There was no valet but we were able to find a place in the street. And the food was OK but nothing like we had last year. Obviously something has happened here with the menu and the cooking.
We were very impressed with the quality of the food, I thought the waitress could have been a little more attentive in seeing that customers were ready to pay when finished with there meal. I must say she was very friendly and informative in showing us the menu for the rest of the week which was full of choices, and the beer and wine selection was superb.
Food was good, yet nothing too special. The fish was very fresh. The meals were expensive given the location. Downtown prices in Cleary Square. The server was very pleasant and efficient. Saturday night and it was very quiet. Good place to be able to carry on a conversation, unlike so many places today. Very updated, cozy atmosphere.
