TOWN is one of those places where you can sit along the bar for a great meal and a good conversation. The bartenders are amazing and the service is top-notch! The Philly spring rolls and sushi are always great for starters. During the summer, they open up all the windows for perfect "good day" ambience. I've been going for years... More

We have been to Town a number of times but this was our first brunch at the restaurant, It got off to a shaky start. We were seated on time for our reservation, which was good considering how crowded it was and we expected a wait. Our waitress was prompt with our menus and order for drinks. However, one (bottomless)... More

Town Restaurant seems to be a favorite among locals and visitors alike. Personally....I like to actually be able to hear my dining companions during conversation...which is impossible in this hip, upbeat and otherwise wonderfully jam packed with glorious menu choices eatery. I avoid going at dinner altogether....but occasionally go for lunch. if you can get a seat outdoors on the... More

My husband and I dine at the Town twice a week and it always satisfies. We love the fresh fish that the chef prepares to our liking. Mean chili, chicken enchiladas, wedge salad, sushi rolls, and steaks. I like a menu that offers variety and all the dishes are prepared with care. Enjoy! More

I recently went to Town for a birthday party with some friends! I have been here numerous times in the past and found that it is consistently good. The atmosphere is on the high end and they pour good cocktails and beers and the food is spectacular. The place tends to be very busy for happy hour and it dies... More

Went there on a Friday evening around 6:30 pm. The bar was very crowded and noisy. I ask for a table towards the rear so it would be less noisy but it didn't help much. My salmon dinner was very tasty. The only draw back from this place is the noise. Next time I'll try around 5:30 on a Tuesday. More

We have enjoyed our dining experiences at Town. Weekends can be quite crowded and require a reservation. On a couple of occasions, our service poor as our waiter was really busy. The staff, though, is very gracious and we were given free appetizers because of our delay. More

The food is always terrific at Town, particularly appetizers and steaks. Service can be iffy so the food sometimes arrives cold. Best bet is to eat at the bar but it tends to get very busy and is also a meat market... More

I read the past reviews of this restaurant. I agree with all of them. The evening that we were there the noise level was so loud that we could not hear each other. The best idea is to sit outside or if the weather is cold then futher away from the bar area owuld be more comfortable. The restaurant has... More
