We were pleasantly surprised to stumble upon Townsend and find a table with our son who was in Philly on business. The ambiance drew us in and the menu looked enticing.

The portions were perfect, just enough to savor all the flavors and left room for our next course. We will definitely return.

Tasting menu was an exceptional experience. Impressive presentation with appropriately modest portions so that we were not too full for the dessert experience. I bake, and I was impressed! Flavors and textures well-balanced, not overdone, and not one dish fell flat. Looking forward to a return visit.
