  • This palacial two floor cavernous establishment appeared more crowded in the bar area than in the restuarant but a reasonable crowd nonetheless. Outstanding foods of all kinds including a ground coffee-rubbed prime rib, perfectly steamed lobster, and a baked sweet potato the size of a football. Even made a custom mojito for my wife. From sounds of other reviews, perhaps the venue is suffering a bit of identity crisis but the food was top notch

  • We were at the Towne this weekend (5/26) mostly at the bar area on the first floor. The finger food was great and drinks were good although would have liked to have our martini's in a chilled glass. Our biggest complaint at this time, was the 'attitude' of the tall woman manning the bar. I don't know if she was having a 'bad hair' day or what, but there are plenty of other eating/drinking establishments in the area and people can go elsewhere.

  • went for sunday brunch. It had no atmosphere. They put us (a table of 4) in a large separate room with no other patrons, at a table that was too large our our group. And we didn't even get a table by the window.

    Tough one to review: The food was excellent (Foie Gras as a starter and then Duck from the entree menu). The ambience is really nice, and we had reasonable service when we finally got a waiter to come to our table. Despite an empty restaurant (three tables occupied over the hour we were there) we had to sit at a hightop as they were 'booked out'. Their hostesses need training in customer service. Will try it again and review then too.

  • We and another couple have dined here twice before Boston Symphony concerts. The food has been fantastic: lobster appetizers, best veal chop ever, great duck and partridge. Service was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and got us out on time without rushing.
    However, between visits they put in a new sound system, with bass (you can't hear anything but the bass) that rattles your teeth an
