Reviews of Townhouse Restaurant & Wine Bar (Restaurant)

Daloki Bakoi

Love this place. The atmosphere is cozy and quaint. For some reason the paella we ordered was a little soggy than it should be. Other than that, it's definitely a great place to eat tapas and also have date nights at.

Elijah Moody

american food and service at this place is great. I really loved this place. The service was very sociable and kind. If it wasn't far from my work I would come by more.

Taja Ferguson

Great place to have a business lunch. The steak tacos were great and I never had problems with finding a comfortable seat.

Yevgeniy Brailovsky

Good for Happy Hour

Rahul Bajaj

niiiiiiice

Anthony Martha

Amazing food, great wine selection, friendly service. Adriana was my bartender and super nice. If your looking for a lunch break or after work kick back, this is the spot!

Dhananjay Goswami

Great food.. good place to connect with colleagues

Jobil P. Cyriac

Food and drinks are excellent. Only downside from it being a 5 is that sometimes the lunch takes so long to get to your table--need more than 1 1/2 hrs for lunch as a result.

William Kresse

Great place to meet up with friends after work.

Bruce Adams

Good food, fast and friendly service. Wonderful outside seating when the weather is cooperating.

Brent Paszt

Great food, good service but, it is cold inside during the winter.

Emily Belke

This is a great lunch spot where I've hardly ever had to wait for a table. You can't go wrong with any of their daily quinoa bowls, but my favorite is the Thursday 'southwest' bowl. They also serve a really refreshing and satisfying veggie wrap.

Vic Tor

Great service, great food!

Natalia Kedzior

Make sure to make a reservation! Good place for work lunch - outdoor seating

Greg Biz

Great work lunch spot. Menu is on point

Andrea Huberty

The food was really delicious here.

gina kim

great option for a business lunch or drinks after work

M P

The Food here is good for lunch and a solid 4 stars but Service is so so. Didn’t feel the love from the hostess on my last trip in as she prioritized future reservations an hour later over me standing there in an empty restaurant at 11:27 AM. I would AVOID this place as a walk-in customer.

Hannah Klein

Crowded with professionals from the loop very standard for the area. Food was just OK. Service was good.

Andreas Waldburg

Food is solid at this stalwart loop eatery, although one would have hoped that in the ten plus years it's been around, management would have found a solution to the space's acoustic challenges. It's a great place for a quick drink and snack after work, or a bite before the opera, which is around corner.

Harriet Carlson

A delicious lunch of a salmon flatbread after a morning downtown event. Perfect spot to stop before taking Metra back to the 'burbs.

tatyana rubin

Food service location are perfect, too noisy and crowded

C Marquis

Nice place. Good vibe

Andrew Hayes

I really enjoyed my meal here. I got the steak with chimichurri and pico with sweet potato fries. The service was amazing, Sarah was really great (10/28). The steak was a little tougher than I was expecting, but aside from that I really enjoyed the experience.

mary csenar

Went for lunch. Decent food and service.

Taylor Burt-Lynn

The salmon caesar salad was delicious with great portion sizes. My whole group loved their dishes. Waitstaff was attentive and friendly.

Christelle

Nice place for an after work bite with friends or colleagues. I had a salmon burger and it was really good. Service was really nice too.

Benjamin Roberts

Great spot for those power lunch meetings. Decent food, but very loud atmosphere. Very cool interior with a floor to ceiling sloping glass window. Easy to get to and easy to find.

Lisa Carlson

Great cheese board. Very tasty quinoa specials! This place doesn’t disappoint, and they even have a nice sour beer. The manager is awesome (and not to bad on the eyes either ;)

Hayley F

Delicious. The Asian salad was very flavorful, but not too heavy. The G&T was refreshing. Enjoyed the breezy patio seating, but I'm sure the inside would be lovely as well.

John Kasarda

What an incredible place to eat lunch. Great food and the service was too notch.

Prima Dagoddess

I had the Burger and Fries it was excellent. The establishment had an indoor and outdoor seating area. The lighting was gentle and it was truly an amazing restaurant!

Francois Pierre Truc

Lots of life at Townhouse. Attentive staff.

Kirk Broadhurst

Meh. Expensive, not great service, not great food.

Steve Luckas

Fantastic burger, overall good service but once she had check on us once never saw the waitress again until we flagged her down to get the check.

Michael Mastejulia

Great place for lunch!

Djuana Stoakley

Excellent business lunch spot in the West Loop One of my colleagues took me out for a great lunch at Townhouse in the West Loop earlier this week. I had a delicious tomato soup with goat cheese blended in and a yummy Thai steak salad that was made with the freshest greens anywhere.

Nina Coletta

The outdoor seating is nice for people watching and location is easily accessible from downtown. I haven't had the food yet, but I've heard it's good. They have a decent wine selection by the glass.

Roman Link

Just good place to chill out after work.

Tom Klausing

good west loop american food. totchos!

Alex

We enjoyed great service and delicious food here. It also has nice interiors and located in a very beautiful modern building.

LaShante Griffin

Nice twist on typical bar food but pricey

Russ Johnston

Food is just fine, but at lunch (when Townhouse does most of its business, I'd guess) they are fantastic in being very quick with customers in a way that is not pushy. Nice touch.

Joaquim Bénard-Tertrais

I ate there a Tuesday lunch and it was really good. We sat at the bar with pretty comfortable chairs. We waited a little but it was ok.

Vincent H

Drink, food and service are good, though it can get noisy when crowded

David Hruska

Good food and decent service; seemed a little bit slow.

Boliviana H

Lots of choices

Omar Torres

The Cubano is great as well as the sweet potato fries. I'm not a fan of salads but these are great. The salmon sandwich is excellent.

c2sealy

Great lunch spot. Standard fare with a very nice contemporary appearance.

Kevin Wadsworth Johnson

Incredible food, spirits and service. Always visit here when in Chicago.

Deonna Melton

Good convenient "sit down" lunch place when you don't want to go to a fast food spot for lunch. This place does get crowded tho, so its best to plan your arrival ahead of time to ensure you can get a table. The bar works too, but for obvious reasons, not as comfortable.

Ryan Sullivan

Good food and fun drink specials. They had a beer + shot special the other night for $6.

Leigh Wang

Happy hour loop crowd. Nothing spectacular but good for corporate drinks out

D Walker

Good combo or ambience, price and food.

Todd S

Had a group of ten here for a 4 pm Friday happy hour, as the first few of our group settled in at corner of the bar host came over and let us know that the empty floor space and booth in the corner behind us was reserved and that if we were going to stay where we were, we needed to stay inside an invisible line so we wouldn’t encroach on the floor space. We offered to move if they had another space for us but nothing could be found in the 80% empty bar so we stayed where we were with an additional reminder from the host to stay inside the line. While host was polite, certainly wasn’t a great way to make us feel appreciated or welcomed. Note to Management: while you’ve clearly got to honor your reservations you could do a much better job of making a good sized group of walk in customers feel welcomed vs. in the way. When we left at 6:30 we settled up a nice check for you and the space you were so concerned about us violating had two people in it. Outside of that, the bar service was solid, drinks were well poured, and the food we ordered was good. But given the other aspects of the service there are lots of other good spots in the area and we’ll pick one of those to go the next time.

Charlie C.

Good place for happy hour in a nice setting. Food is just OK.

Max Russo

Lit

Cameron Shinn

Loud with mediocre food. The shape of the place amplifies sound and so even with only a handful of tables this place gets painfully loud for a restaurant. Steak was pretty bland and drink choices weren't amazing. For the price I would not recommend.

Graeme W

Pretty regular. 4$ beer of the month is decent for the loop

Hussein Din

Nice ambiance. Very good service. A bit under-heated during the winter months, though.

James D'Angelo

Nothing special here. The food is OK (but uninspired) and the prices are fine. The staff is OK (not great, but not terrible). It's far too loud for a working lunch, but it isn't fun or exciting, so I'm not sure what else you would do there.

Jaime Raba

Cheese curds.

Kenny O

Have only been here after work with coworkers, but it seems like a decent post-work haunt. Drinks are reasonably priced (double pour of Ardbeg 12 was $15, amazingly) and food is edible.

Samuel Waggoner

If you are looking for a casual dining experience with a nice selection of appetizers, salads, and sandwiches with a good selection of wines, beers, and cocktails in The Loop, this is it. Popular with the employees in the area (it’s on the ground floor of the Deloitte building) it’s a good choice for happy hour (they have good specials) or something savory to pair with your adult beverages. Friendly service is a plus!

Dondré S

This place is really cool. I love the whole glass wall on one side of the restaurant, it gives you great views back out into the busy city. The service was great our waitress was really awesome. I had a salmon burger it was ok, the vegetables were good. The atmosphere is great.

Deborah Simmons

Love this place for the wine, cheese plates and flat breads. Service is fast and the servers are so nice. Love the ambiance and esp. the cheese. Have returned here every time I go to Chicago.

Tiffany Adkins

The food was really delicious at this place

Andrea Fee

Amazing food!

André B

Very interesting options these days. Lobster roll is good as are the burgers.

chris lietz

Good selection of salads with fresh ingredients.

Stephen Suydam

This was a great place for lunch. The sandwich selection looks amazing and the burgers look delicious. I ate the crab cake BLT. It's as good as it sounds with chipotle mayo, tons of crab meat and of course bacon. I highly recommend it. The issues with this place is it is very pricey and has a limited beer menu. It does come with ample outdoor seating and a menu that will fit most tastes. Treat yourself to a guacamole (townhouse) burger or a French dip if you have a moment.

Suyog Ghungrad

Great service and good food. My order was messed up but they gave told me that it is on the house.

Grant Zallis

Fine for a quick business lunch.

Frank Anderson

Really good food and the service was a spot on. Would come back again to try some wines.

Toby Johnson

Stopped here for a burger & beer on our way to Union Station. Good service & atmosphere; food was decent.

Michelle Carter

Best breakfast nook

Jessica Bell

The scallops are amazing

Chris K.

I want to like this place more than I do, especially because it's so easy to just come here for a quick bite after work. But to me it seems this place is always overwhelmed by the number of people eating there. The food is solid, which explains the crowds; and the service is friendly. But do yourself a favor and put your entire order in at once, cause once your server leaves you may not see them for awhile.

Matthew Squadroni

Good atmosphere, good food, friendly staff

Justin Schuldt

Nice outdoor seating area during the summer

J Con

Great service, great atmosphere, easy to talk to people you are with and enjoy good drinks

Dawn Zoppa

Great spot for a business lunch. Nice wine bar, good selection.

Nadya Lebedeva

Food and drinks are amazing! Staff was nice, but they seemed a bit understaffed. Great place to go before seeing an opera...

Denise Bowker

Good food, good service. We were there on a quiet day, maybe 1/2 to 2/3 of the tables were filled for lunch. The noise level was, at times, challenging to a conversation.

Jonathan Carter

Frankly, we ended up here because we were looking for a place near the train station, not white tablecloth, that would book a reservation on Thursday for eight people at 6:30 for Friday. Other than the incredible noise from the after-work drinks crowd that made conversation challenging (which cleared around 7:30), we had a good time. Our waitress, Sarah, was cheerful and attentive, moving us to the quietest table. Not only did she understand that two of us were sharing two entrees, she had the kitchen plate half and half and then split the charges on our separate bills. The turkey burger was the tastiest and moistest I've had, the scallops beautifully prepared, the jambalaya a huge portion, the whitefish flavorful, the seafood risotto delicious. Those who had beer and wine enjoyed their pours. We were disappointed that there were no desserts but Sarah said there would be when the winter menu was introduced the following week. We all made our trains with ease.

Kenneth Beynon

The food was fantastic. Lots of Asian inspired lunch items. I had a Bahn Mi sandwich...delicious.

Matt Hobson

Good food

Ken Sadler

Nice place to grab a drink after work. I've not had the food, but the menu looks nice.

Sharon Ray

People are nice and I love the food.

Andy Williams

Wonderful drink called the 'black widow.' Had good conversation with my neighbor on the next bar stool.

Megan Riordan

Decent food in the loop

Chris Kmet

Great spot in the Loop. Great food, fun atmosphere and killer cocktails.

Shreeni Rao

You would think unsalted fries to be easy peasy ? Not here ? I work in the same building and wanted some fries with-no-salt to go. It came triple salted. Went back downstairs, no apologies from the server who originally took the order and guess what ? came back with super salty french fries!!!

Ryan Fee

It's okay food and service. Nothing really stands out or is memorable. A good "normal food" type of place.

Scott

Little pricey, slow service.

Anna L

Good food

Andy brandon Gigante

Great service

Tony Rigano

Ristorante dietro una vasta vetrata di uno dei tanti palazzoni delle Chicago finanziaria. Buona accoglienza e menù semplice ma adeguato. Buone preparazioni e prezzo adeguato alla qualità proposta.

Tim Corpus

Good place if you just want a drink. The evening crowd is loud and in the way. Food is only ok and evenings they run out of beer. Passible.

cj ussov

Liked cheese plate and my sandwich, awesome spot

Sunny Amrat

Good food, but the vibe was totally dead, food was slow to arrive and the wait staff were slow to serve.

Rolf Phelps

Extra special restaurant, for me a special occasion until I make my first million. Super pro service and high end menu with contemporary takes on dishes like jambalaya.

Kevin Murray

We we're lucky we got there early... Highly recommend you have a reservation. Awesome Burger

Dana Staschke

Food is great! I have been here 3 times, and every time the food is delicious. This is a great place for a business lunch or just lunch in general. I will admit that service is sometimes on the slow side, but overall a great place!

Eric Harke

Food was ok. Mostly dead at night. Likely a good lunch or immediately after work.

Bharat Naik

- Had the blackened fish tacos. They werent really blackened as they do in Louisiana but the tacos were tasty anyway - Good beer choice - Server was quietly efficient We went for a business meeting and the experience was very good

X X

Farmhouse burger was outstanding.

Jae'Nae Gaines

Great place! Great Staff!

Raj Joshi

Good atmosphere and friendly staff. Ordered wings and learned to never order that again. They were tough and felt like they were sitting out for a while. Within 15 minutes of eating that, I was not feeling good. Food did not sit right and I don't plan to go back again.

Mauricio Huertas

Pretty good food, if some of it is a bit on the pricey side.

Peter Van Valkenburgh

Decent food, a bit overpriced. Acoustics are bad, very noisy and hard to have conversation because of it.
