Had a delightful time early evening dinner on the patio with my wife. Decent selection of local craft beers. More on the menu than just pork (beef, seafood, sides), but this was our first time so we tried the pork trio dinner (Cheeks, belly & loin) and the pork shank Could not have been happier with our choices! Waitress was pleasant helpful and attentive, as well as other servers who refilled our water and checked on us appropriately. Stayed for dessert: Cheese & berries for my wife, and lemon frozen mousse from me - both were excellent. Also asked the chef to pair with his choice of port for my wife and bourbon or whiskey for me. My wife's port was good, but the bourbon whisky I had was wonderful: come to find out that this was a Hudson Distillery (New York) Four Grain bourbon whiskey picked personally by Towne Plaza with their own label - a single barrel bottled exclusively for Towne Plaza. It was excellent and I recommend anyone who enjoys whiskey to try this: they also use it in their signature cocktails.
The owner was also very helpful and informative when I asked to see the bottle to read more about it. THANKS for all you did for me!!
We will be back to try some of your non-pork options!
Full disclosure:
I am a fellow restaurant owner in town. One that doesn’t compete nor have vested interest in The Towne Plaza. With that said I want my opinion heard.
I have dined many times here and always leave happy, full and wowed by the experience. Usually I attend for breakfast and I honestly think this is the best place in town for that meal, hands down. Tonight my wife and I stopped in for dinner. We ordered smoked tomato soup, Brussels sprouts and a cheese tray for apps. Spot on, delicious and very large portions.
For entree she ordered Sea Scallops and loved them and I had the cut of the day which was a NYS with mashed potatoes and broccolini. Tonight’s experience makes me believe this is one of the top 3 places for dinner in town.
Staff is knowledgeable, helpful, attentive and kind. Very well run and managed restaurant, there’s reasons it’s so highly rated. Go and see for yourself.
My favorite spot for breakfast in town, (dinner is excellent also!). I have tried many items on the menu, but always go back to my favorite blueberry pancakes. Friendly and professional staff. Summer dining outside is wonderful. Try it, you will love this place.
