TOWNSEND EPX

Escargot $16 sauce would go really well with bread

Foie Gras Mousse $16 was tasty. A lot of mousse for the bread. Would get this again

Cote du Boeuf for two $150 ribeye was nicely done. Still some red. 32oz was a lot of meat though. Took this home to eat the next day.

Nice place to eat and treat yourself. We did take the tasting menu and every dishes were delicious! We loved the duck breast. Would recommend :)

Have you ever eaten a meal, and halfway through you stop and think I am so grateful for being able to eat this......no?
Me either, until last night, at Townsend. It was that good.
Fois grois mousse, amazing. Sweet, savory and silky, rich and addictive.
Escargot: my wife said it was possibly the best dish of her life. Really well balanced sauce and flavors, the fava beans were perfect with it.
Steak tartare: rich, decadent, delicious.
Scallops: nice sized seared scallops with a citrus sauce and tomatoes. Great flavors, colors, and perfectly seared.
Beef marrow bones, mushroom croquet. OMG, first time trying thearrow bones and I will order it any chance I get. Amazing flavors, just spooned it on the fresh sourdough....and closed my eyes in thanks.

Ribeye: I'm a steak guy, and I make a lot of steak, bbq etc. It's hard to find a really good steak, IMHO, at a restaurant. This was just a ridiculous beautiful perfectly cooked ribeye, for 2 people. The absolute best steak I've ever had. No doubt.
Dessert......the souffle was so smooth and decadent.

Absolutely stunning.
I brought my two elderly friends to the restaurant and the people were professional and attentive to them. My two elderly friends didn't know how to speak much English and so the waiters gave us extra time to read the menu and let me translate the menu for them. I didn't expect that level of service in Philadelphia. The welcoming atmosphere, not silent, is warm and welcoming.

The pace of the meal was spot on. The food was amazingly deep and good. It has depth.

Overall, I highly recommend it to anyone going to Philly.
