This restaurant is such a relaxing and pleasant spot—perfect for a laid-back dinner or a special night out. I always order the teriyaki skirt steak, and it never disappoints—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. I’ve also tried the salmon, which is equally delicious. My husband swears by the New York steak, and it’s definitely one of the best we’ve had locally. But my absolute favorite part? The dessert! Their bread pudding is out of this world—rich, comforting, and the perfect sweet ending to a great meal. I totally recommend this place. Great food, relaxing atmosphere, and an unbeatable location!

Hopping restaurant with great food & wine selections, friendly & efficient service, & a nice ambiance. We'd hoped to try the prime rib but were too late, so we opted for the pasta dish & the steak tacos. Both were absolutely delicious. We appreciated Nick's service from start to finish. We will definitely visit again the next time our travels bring us to the area.

Great spot for lunch or dinner. A place to see or be seen - casual but upscale food and atmosphere with top notch service. Higher end comfort food and just delicious. Love the outdoor space - one of the few restaurants that still keeps its outdoor space and it's in pristine condition. I usually get the poke bowl; I've heard the lobster roll is really good - I have been there a dozen times from a party of two to a party of 8 people and never have we had anyone who did not enjoy their meal or have any issues with the restaurant - a really nice place.

If you're looking for unbelievably delicious food with great portions, Look no further than Town. A delicious steakhouse with large portions and perfectly cooked meats but a full ecosystem of fantastic dishes to accompany any meal. They start serving brunch at 10AM with no reservations but a big seating area indoors with more outdoors. Food comes out extremely quick within 10 minutes of ordering, our table was full.

The Town is my go-to spot for a great night out. I haven’t dined there yet, but I keep coming back for their incredible pomegranate martinis—hands down the best cocktails. I ended up making a similar recipe! The bartenders are always friendly, and the service is top-notch. The bar has a lively, social vibe, making it a great place to meet people or just enjoy a well-crafted drink. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a welcoming atmosphere and a fantastic cocktail!

Delicious mixed cuisine food and relaxed ambience, I loved our brunch at Town. We ordered Poke with Crispy Rice, Millennial Breakfast (avocado toast with fried eggs) and Someone’s Moms French Toast. My children got complimentary chocolate chip muffins and they loved the surprise. We got a seating outside with a nice view of the road, and that made the brunch extra special. Great service to add to the experience!

The food was delicious. The only complaint would be the hostess didn't give us the happy hour menu when I was brought to my table. When the waiter let us know it was happy hour, we had minutes to order some specials. She was a great server.

My friend boasts a lot about Town, he said people all around go here for great food, and he’s correct the food is in fact great. The service is attentive and friendly. The apps came fast, and it’s good enough to wait for your main course. They have a variety of choices, but stick to the steak, they are good. The skirt steak was cooked to perfection, and I know it’s hard to cook skirt steak to a medium, but they do it well here. Parking is in the back
