What People Are Saying About Townhouse Bar & Grill
Featured Review

Contributor
In Short – While the steps to this ramshackle former honky-tonk and bordello are paved in tire treads, inside, the scene has an easygoing elegance, with white tablecloths, an airy dining room and a roomy bar. In summer, the outdoor patio is pleasantly breezy. Appetizers include fried calamari with spicy cocktail sauce and garlic fries, while entrees run the gamut from the Townhouse burger to grilled chicken breast with apricot pecan bread pudding. – – – –

How unsuspecting
by tahoe6 at Citysearch
Totally not what I was expecting when I walked in...pleasantly surprised. A little gem in the quiet streets of emeryville yet bustling inside. Great food, great service, good bar. Thumbs up.

Good for out-of-town guests
by emerygal at Citysearch
The food here is good, and it's a nice place to take out-of-town guests. A bit on the pricey side, but when I really want to splurge and treat myself (or a loved one) to a "nice dinner in Emeryville," this is always the first choice.
- Pros: Interesting interior and history, nice bar
- Cons: Long waits, limited parking

Uneven Food in a Very Loud Diningroom
by damian_esq at Citysearch
The outside of Townhouse isn't very appealing, but once you're inside the dining area has a nice atmosphere. Parking is decent. Once seated the volume of the room becomes apparent and a little overwhelming. Two of our entres were pretty good (scallops and jambalaya) but the salmon and the halibut were not very tasty at all. Given the quality and flavor of the food, the prices just weren't justified. Other people around us were ordering pork chops, fried chicken, and burgers and it all looked tasty, so maybe we ordered poorly, but our dishes were just okay. Overall the dining experience was not that impressive. I'll give the restaurant another chance but I'll stay away from the seafood dishes next time.
- Pros: Lively Atmosphere, Good Drinks
- Cons: VERY Loud, Decent Food at the Price of Great Food, Indifferent Service

Consistently great food & service
by jewisheater at Citysearch
I've now eaten at the restaurant a handful of times and I've never been disappointed. The waitstaff are friendly, the drinks (esp. mojitos) are delicious, and the food melts in the mouth! The fish, vegetarian and meat entrees have all been enjoyed and the portions are generous. My one complaint is that the drinks can be expensive, if you're requesting a premium product. Every dessert has been enjoyed...including the walnut, chocolate chip cookies- they're soft and clearly homemade-yum! And, it's not a cheap meal, but it's worth the quality.

overpriced, nothing special. SAve your money and go elsewhere
by grubjudge at Citysearch
Though the food was good and the outdoor patio and inside seating is nice, its really nothing special. For the price, there are MANY other places I would recommend who serve the same kind of food (even better). Not worth it!!! PS: the service was lousy-wait staff were snotty and rude. Again for the pricing, I expect MUCH better.
- Pros: food was okay, outdoor patio is nice
- Cons: EXPENSIVE for not very special food, bad service
