Townsend's Restaurant
For years, my two favorite places for drinks and fancy bar food have been Gargoyles and Chez Henri. Now, there's a third restaurant on the list: Townsends. Townsends earned its place on my list due to its great food, draft beer selection, and amazing staff. Whether you're in the mood for a main course or leisurely meal, ordering one item at a time to accompany each drink, you can't go wrong. And, as I mentioned so many sentences ago, their beer selection is outstanding, offering some relatively unknown brews along with a few of the best craft beers on tap (such as Dogfish and Stone). When you go, ask the bartender about their next beer and food pairing. Make sure that you leave some room for dessert. My favorites are the bread pudding and homemade truffles.
