Description

Summary: Hearty steaks and diverse menu.

Townhouse stands as a testament to Emeryville's vibrant history, offering a glimpse into the past with its origin dating back to 1926. This historic venue has seen the ebb and flow of the city's transformation but remains a beloved fixture in the community. Its menu is a delightful homage to the early days with hearty classics like steaks and Reuben sandwiches, yet it caters to contemporary tastes with dishes such as Thai mango-steak salad and coconutty barbecued baby-back ribs. The ambiance, reminiscent of its speakeasy origins, adds to the charm of Townhouse, making it a cozy spot for Californian comfort food. Post-cinema crowds often gather here to enjoy the casual atmosphere and indulge in a variety of offerings, from pasta and seafood to burgers and inventive sides like sweet potato fries with chipotle aïoli. While the wine list is straightforward, it complements the diverse menu. For a sweet finish, the lemon crème brûlée and coconut tres leches cake are the go-to treats. With its rich history and modern flair, Townhouse remains a staple in the local dining scene.
