Townhouse

We recently dined at Townhouse and were thoroughly impressed. The host was very welcoming and warm. Such a sweet woman!

The restaurant has a cute, cozy vibe that immediately made us feel welcome. We started with happy hour margaritas, which were fresh and perfectly balanced, not overly sweet.

Our meal began with the ahi appetizer, which was delicious, although a few more wonton chips would have been appreciated. We also tried the ribs, and they were fantastic, falling right off the bone and bursting with flavor.

The highlight was definitely the pizza, which was so flavorful. Overall, our experience was wonderful, and we would definitely come back again!

My wife and I were invited to dinner at Townhouse by our sister-in-law. She had discovered the place years ago and had not dine here since after the pandemic. She was eager for us to try it because she thought very highly of the restaurant.
We live in Fremont and was surprised that it took an hour and twenty minutes to get there! Traffic on a Saturday at 5PM was terrible. We arrived 20 minutes late for dinner but the in-laws were there early and it was not a sold out night.
We were seated right away and the server was there almost immediately.
Okay, so why the 3 stars? It was the service.
My sister-in-law ordered a second cocktail....never arrived.
My brother-in-law and I ordered wedge salads...never arrived.
The wrong dessert was delivered to our table.
All the food was very good...no complaints at all but the table service was very lacking. I'm assuming it was an "off night".
The location is not ideal for us, so a repeat visit is not likely, which is too bad because I would like to give. them another chance.

My roommate and I came here on a random Thursday night and we were seated soon after we arrived. This restaurant has its own small parking lot and there are some street parking options as well. We sat outdoors in the patio area which had overhead covering and heat lamps. I loved the patio area because it was spacious and had cute string lights.

To start, my roommate and I shared the lamb chops and some roasted Brussels sprouts. The lamb chops were moist and flavorful. The Brussels sprouts were a little one dimensional and greasy.

For entree I ordered the chicken rigatoni pasta with sun dried tomatoes. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the flavor of the sun dried tomatoes really came through which I liked. I also thought that the portion size was very generous.

The service was inconsistent. Our first server was amazing and very attentive. However, our second server was very slow. It took ~20min to get our check after we asked for it and our waters were never refilled.

Overall, this place was good but the service was a bit lack luster. I would come back to try some of their other entrees and I enjoyed the back patio area.

It's pretty average in my opinion. I had came here recently for a Father's Day brunch and my group was seated outside since it was a nice day.

Parking is all along the street and about 7-8 spots in their parking lot, but be aware that it's one way only so you'll need to back up to leave.

Townhouse has been on my future FIL's mind for years now after hearing great reviews so the family made reservations and now the mystery is no mystery.

Because it was a Holiday, they had a limited menu which was fine, made it easier to choose a dish. I opted for their hash and the overall taste was okay. The toasted bread was the best since it was slightly buttered.

Maybe because it was a limited menu this day, but I wasn't really impressed by the food or the service. For a good while after getting our food, our waitress disappeared when we wanted condiments and more water so we kind of picked up what we could from unoccupied tables and eventually one of us went inside to get attention.

Also, house fries are really potatoes... not French fries. Just a little FYI in case your child was looking for French fries and didn't get that.

Hubby and I decided to have a date night tonight and Townhouse was the best spot for an intimate & quiet dinner. We sat near the bar and Alejandro, who was wonderful, took care of us all evening.

I ordered a lavender gimlet to start, and for appetizers, we got the charcuterie board and the townhouse salad. Both were amazing beginnings to our meal! For entrees we ordered the chicken piccata and tri-tip ribeye, both cooked perfectly and so tender. Had to round out the dinner with dessert as well, and the chocolate tarte was a perfect level of sweetness.

Townhouse is tucked away in an unassuming neighborhood on a residential street, but its food surely stands out. This restaurant is at once fancy and casual. It has white table cloths and a higher-end menu, but it's also rustic and cozy, and feels more like a regular haunt and not some stuffy fine dining establishment. The service is much the same; top notch, but not pretentious.

It's difficult to capture in words just how fun Townhouse is, so it's probably best to go check it out, as my friends and I did recently on a weeknight.

After reading some rave reviews about their pork chop, I decided to order that. (On a previous visit, I had ordered the cioppino and bolognese and both were very good.) It was the highlight of the evening. Thick, juicy, and tender ... it might have been the best pork chop I've ever had. I would go back just for the pork chop.

I had a bite of the ribeye ordered by one of my dining companions, and it, too, was quite delicious - tender and juicy (cooked medium rare). But, again, we all agreed the pork chop was the star.

We treated ourselves to a few desserts, indulging in the crème brûlée, carrot cake, and bread pudding. The bread pudding (which tasted like a bread pudding made of cinnamon rolls) was the winner in the dessert round, followed by the crème brûlée. The carrot cake, which came from another establishment, was just OK.

There's indoor and outdoor seating, and service is pretty prompt before the 7 p.m. rush, at which point things can slow down a bit. We got there for a 6:30 p.m. reservation and it was a perfect. The waitstaff was attentive and friendly.

Townhouse might not be an everyday restaurant (unless you've got deep pockets!), but it's definitely a contender for special occasions, a date night, or as a treat for yourself.

Overall, I enjoyed my meal. They forgot the focaccia we ordered but service overall was smooth and timely. People were very nice and patio felt lovely

Great vibes, friendly staff!
Amazing food and drinks. Everything about this place is low key and chill!!

BLUF
Fried Brussels Sprouts (Hell yeah!), Papa's Rigatoni Bolognese (Yes), Tagliatelle Alfredo, (Yep!), Chicken Picata (Yes), Flan (Yes and yes).

Had dinner here this week celebrating my son's birthday. Overall a very good dinner and my son was happy with it. The ambiance was warm and welcoming. Townhouse has a patio for outside dining but it was a little chilly that evening so everyone (us included)sat inside.

My son had the Chicken Piccata and he raved over it. Not saying he is a connoisseur of Chicken Piccata but if there was such a thing, he would be it. He said the chicken was as tender as he has had. He gave me a piece (albeit a small piece, lol) and I couldn't agree more. The seasoning used was very good and it was one of the better CP dishes I have tasted. His fiancé had the Bolognese and she said it was very good. I had the Chicken Alfredo and it did not disappoint. The Alfredo sauce was creamy and flavorful. The chicken was moist and tender. This is a very good dish! I also had the Wedge Salad. It was good but could have used a bit more dressing. Suggest if you order this to ask for more dressing on the side.

For dessert we shared the flan (with a candle) to celebrate my son's birthday. The flan was very good and I plan to order this again next time I come back here, and like Arnold said, I WILL be back!

Only issue of concern was the service. Our waitress did her best but it appeared she was stretched too thin. I would have liked to see her a little more often. Not her fault at all as she had too many tables to attend to. From my view the management may have not scheduled enough waiters/waitresses on this night. Our reservation was at 7pm so it was busy, but they could have done better. The managers helped our waitress by brining over our drinks but this was not enough. One of my drinks never made it to my table, but not a deal killer. I will definitely be back here to celebrate any future events!

Oh yeah! We are outside and had drinks inside. Both are great options!

The food here was great, the burger was done simply and done well! The fun was fresh, the beef was tasty, and the toppings were fresh. The fries were golden brown and crispy.

The drinks were all cold and refreshing. The bartender made sure they came out quick!

Great food, great service!
