Towne Bar & Restaurant Review

Towne Stove and Spirits

My Opinions:  This place was slammed full tonight - WOW! I barely made it upstairs to the 3rd bar to get a drink and some food. Once served, I noticed that they have cut back on the quantity of menus they hand you - phew! Also, they did an overhaul of their desert menu ... the choices all sound good, so perhaps I'll dip my spoon in for one more try.

The bartenders are great, and I had great service (again!).  The crowd is still hopping every night of the week, so come get your flirt on! You'll find that people here also frequent Abe & Louie's and Sonsie.  Speaking of, I've actually been wondering how Sonsie is doing ...

My Opinions:  I told you I'd still come here for drinks even if the food didn't get a hold on me! Tonight was just that: Baja Breezes, and, given the snow storm, there was still a nice crowd in the front bar area.

The bartenders are great, and I had great service (again!).  The crowd is still hopping for after-work drinks, dinner and socializing, so come get your flirt on! You'll find that people here also frequent Abe & Louie's and Sonsie.  Speaking of, I came from dinner at Abe & Louie's to here, and I've actually been wondering how Sonsie's is doing ...

Towne Restaurant & Bar Review

My Opinions:  I had dinner at the bar here tonight because it was so busy!  The bartenders are great, and I had great service.  The beef short ribs weren't very good this evening, but the last time I had them they were great, so I'm hoping it was just a fluke.

The crowd is still hopping for after-work drinks, dinner and socializing ... so come get your flirt on! You'll find people here that also frequent Abe & Louie's and Sonsie.

They've opened for lunch, but I haven't yet stopped by for a taste. As far as the food goes, I've tried quite a bit of the menu and still haven't been wowed by anything yet. The bacon sandwich with mayo & brioche was buttery and good, but you can't eat that all the time if you want to still fit into your clothes - the salmon and foie gras is not my favorite. Their deserts could still use some work. If the food doesn't better,  I'll definitely still come here just to drink.

My Opinions:  The crowd is still coming to this spot for after-work drinks, dinner and socializing ... so come get your flirt on! You'll find people here that also frequent Abe & Louie's and Sonsie.

As far as the food goes, I've tried quite a bit of the menu and still haven't been wowed by anything yet. The bacon sandwich with mayo & brioche was buttery and good, and the beef short ribs were well prepared - the salmon and foie gras is not my favorite. Their deserts could still use some work. If the food flops,  which I hope doesn't happen, I'd still come here to drink.

They are still only opened for dinner, the lunch launch is behind schedule, so hopefully by early September we'll be able to have a new lunch spot.

Towne Restaurant & Bar Review

My Opinions: I finally got to sit at the downstairs bar, and had a great time! The multiple menus are still overwhelming, but am glad there are so many food options. I am looking forward to coming back here and eating my way through them.

The crowd is flocking to this spot after work for the new atmosphere and strong drinks, so come get your flirt on! You'll find people here that also frequent Abe & Louie's and Sonsie.

As far as the food goes, I haven't been wowed by anything yet. The bacon sandwich with mayo and brioche was buttery and good - the foie gras is not my favorite. Next on my list is the Burger Xtreme with short rib meat (sounds genius). And, they have an entire egg-shaped menu dedicated to lobster dishes. Their deserts could still use some work. If the food flops,  which I hope doesn't happen, I'd still come here to drink.  See you Sunday for dinner!

They are opened for dinner now, and should be opened for lunch closer to the end of August.

My Opinions: The interior was impressive and the service was great ... just try not to get overwhelmed by all the menus they throw at you! I really like the top floor bar. I am looking forward to coming back here and eating my way through their creative menus.  They are opened for dinner now, and should be opened for lunch closer to the end of August.

Next on my list is the Burger Xtreme with short rib meat (wow, genius). And, they have an entire menu dedicated to lobster dishes. The only menu that could use some work is their desert list.

Some Food/Drink Tasted: Lobster & Corn w/Honeyed Ricotta Pizza - Foie Gras - Beet Carpaccio - Pavlaova
