"TOWN is always a delight! For a business lunch or a lunch with friends, the service is attentive but not obtrusive, the food is consistently yummy with ample portions at a reasonable price and the noise level is normal for a busy restaurant during the lunch hour. For Happy Hour, it's truly an "IN" spot! They have some excellent choices for bar appetizers. Dinner is always very busy (recommend reservations) and of course, the noise level jumps because it is such a popular place...a place to see and be seen. Enjoy !!!"

"This location has always been great, dating back to the Tavola days;
Food is still wonderful under the name of Town and the building itself plus the wait staff make for a great combination;"

"Fantastic service as always and the food is always wonderful for the kids as well as the adults! The cocktails are always a treat and new ones are rotated in and out of the menu through the seasons. A really great spot. Make reservation beforehand."

"This is by far our favorite brunch spot and we treat ourselves to brunch here anytime we have reason to celebrate. The food is always outstanding, the service superb and attentive, and it's fun to watch the chef and his crew in the open kitchen."

"excellent food and pretty good service. Very busy so the service was a bit delayed, but the staff were excellent. It is a great place for a celebration. They gave us an excellent dessert for the birthday honoree too which was very nice and special."

"Very pricey. $22-$25 for an eggs benedict is a bit much. I thought the food was good, but not award winning for that price. I'm a San Franciscan that can get a nice brunch with eggs benedict for $12.00. Unfortunately, there is not much competition in the area and they can charge these prices."
