Townsend's - HYDE PARK

Food was great, waitress was great, beer and wine list awesome! It was just really, really loud. Too loud!

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.

My husband, grandmother-in-law and I took my mother-in-law to Townsend's for her birthday. We ordered the mussels for an appetizer which were so good. I had the 1/2 roast chicken and everyone else got the steak and we were all very happy with our meals. Everything was cooked to perfection and seasoned perfectly. Dessert was outstanding and homemade. We sampled the butterscotch pudding and pear sorbet. The service was surperb as well and we will definitely be returning to Toensend's in the near future. :

Townsends is a small neighborhood restaurant with eclectic fare..food is always outstanding. The owner and bartender are very welcoming and now know us by name. I requested a booth near the window on Open Table and that request was honored

Very authentic Irish fare. Expensive for lunch in Hyde Park. The Guinness was perfect.
