If you haven't been to the Townhouse Restaurant since it was renovated and re-opened last August, you are missing one of the new gems on the local restaurant scene. Located on Auditorium Place directly across the street from the Heymann Performing Arts Center, the Townhouse Restaurant's former history as a private club is what old Lafayette remembers.
No more. We met at the bar on the second floor for a drink before dinner. With chair, couches and tables, the intimate environment encourages conversation. They will even serve dinner if you get too comfortable there.
We dined downstairs and can only say that the service (Jamie) and the food was fabulous. We tried the sauteed soft shell crab and tuna. The wine list has a good variety and is moderately priced. Chef Lonnie Pope takes time to visit guests on breaks from the kitchen. It's nice to see a Chef make sure his guests are enjoying their meals.
We saw several couples who were meeting for dinner at the Townhouse. But that doesn't mean you need to be a couple to go there. We chose Townhouse for our "girls night out." The exclamation point on our evening was the chocolate creme brulee.
