Went for a work outing so I can't speak to value cause I never saw the bill. Food and service were commendable. Views from the upper floor ae terrific. Loved the lobster popover and all of the raw seafood. We had a great night.

Went for Sunday Brunch. Very limited menu. Ordered "Kitchen Sink" sandwich. Which had bacon and tomato, (only)? Well, there was bread. I guess I had greater expectation. Maybe call it a BLT - L. Ask for upstairs window seats.

You have to request upstairs dining room! Downstairs feels like a crappy sports bar

Made a reservation based on our son's recommendation. Since we usually order fish, and he is more of a meat man, wasn't sure this would work. But the online menu offered many options and he told us the lobster popovers alone would make our visit worthwhile. Yes, the popovers were fabulous and I am still talking about them to friends...

Like the Duck entree'. If you like your duck crispy get the well done version of duck not on the bone. The on the bone duck was nice and crispy. Garden Pea soup was good with a custard type center that was delicious. The Cheesecake was delicious. My dinner was not too heavy which, was good.

A very busy place with a good "buss". Good food, nice atmosphere. A little noisy but not in the bad way.

I had the best duck of my life at this restaurant. Cherry sauce to die for. Excellent drink list. Bar scene was hoping with very personable bartender. Restaurant rooms up stairs are stunning. We got a seat by the windows looking out onto Boylston. The room is just spectacular. The food was even better. Service was a tad slow because... More

This is the second time I've eaten at Towne Stove & Spirits. The food was quite good - duck crisp was amazingly generous portion of breast and duck quarter. Breast was done well, but the quarter was fabulous. Cherry sauce was not bad - a bit too sweet. My son had the lobster mac & cheese. A good grown up... More

Walked in on a Friday night without a reservation - they were fully booked but offered us a bar top upstairs. The atmosphere was great and our table was ample sized for 4. Our waiter Brian was friendly, efficient and attentive despite the crowd. Two of us had the special and the fish was perfectly cooked and flavorful as was... More
