Had dinner with friends at Townhouse over a week ago and I would have to say the food was absolutely delicious. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Pleasantly surprised with this restaurant. It's been a while to eat inside a restaurant and this is the place we tried. Am so glad we did. We started with a share of the Crispy Pork Belly and an order of the P.E.I. Mussels. We devoured the appetizers just happy we ordered them. The mussels sit on top of a sausage tomato sauce with a couple crispy garlic toasts (YUM). The sauce, toast and mussels were so delectable. The pork belly was also very good. For the main course, one friend had the Grilled 1/2 Mary's Chicken and two of us tried the Prime Rib. The Prime Rib was so yummy and tender, the brown butter potatoes soft and flavorful and the arugula seasoned well. A server also recommended for us to try the Carlton Farms Pork Chop. Unfortunately we didn't get to try the pork chop. The zeppole (italian donut holes with the 3 different sauces) and the deconstructed neapolitan were very tasty desserts to finish the whole evening. Would definitely recommend eating at this restaurant. We look forward to eating here in the future and trying other dishes.
We love The Townhouse! Housed in a former Speakeasy, this restaurant is the best in Emeryville. For an amazing dining experience, we highly recommend it. An inventive but approachable menu that is California Cuisine inspired, yes still very European. They always have a meatless option that is absolutely wonderful. Some nights feature a lovely jazz duo.
Had a great time with our large party reservation of ~25 people. Every dish was delicious and people loved everything. Pricing was reasonable as well for the amount of food we ended up ordering.
Across the board brilliance! From stepping in the door... the lovely woman who was happy to seat us (even tho we had no reservations) to the professional and courteous wait staff (we weren't straight forward and she was so gracious) -- very down home feel--- food was fab. Can't wait to go back!
Pleasantly surprised by a Sunday brunch here. Great veggie scramble. Tasty Bloody Mary and friendly bartender.
It was clear who the seasoned staff were from the onset by the ‘second nature’ attention to detail. However that was the ONLY difference. The commitment to customer service was evident across the board! *Now worthy -The spirit of team work was evident in the support the seasoned staff offered to their new peers. In solidarity and without judgement or shaming! I love it 💗 Shout out to Grace! I see you 😉 It took a little minute for the entree to arrive however in the mean time folks checked in, made sure I was good and the food was worth the wait! I can’t say enough. And special thanks to Brooke for taking good care! WELL DONE TOWNHOUSE!!! I will definitely be returning. ✨💜✨ Also, don’t sleep on the dessert menu!!!
The Townhouse salad was outstanding; each vegetable was fresh & ripe, evenly tossed with minimal vinegarette. The Smoked Chicken Rigatoni is the perfect combination of smoke kissed chicken, Calabrese sausage, and charred broccolini. The rigatoni is the definition of al dente.
Had the mussels and Brussels sprouts, both were served quickly and fresh from the kitchen. Very flavorful and prepared nicely. The old fashioned was mixed in good proportions. Great service and atmosphere although it was a bit loud and I wished I could hear the live jazz band better over all the talking. Would love to try the braised ribs or ravioli next time.
Historic restaurant in Emeryville. Great venue for families searching for good food and a great atmosphere. This restaurant has a lot of history so it's more than just a great meal but also like a museum visit for kids. The food was very fast and quite delicious. The pork chop, wings and Brussels sprouts were especially nice and the service was very friendly. Highly recommend!
