Town House Kitchen + Drinks

The 16 Best Restaurants In Westchester

"Anyone who’s driven up 95 has undoubtedly noticed the evolution of high-rise developments dotting downtown New Rochelle, which has brought an influx of young professional people. And while longtime favorites like Alvin & Friends still hold up, Town House Kitchen & Drinks is part of a new wave of high-energy restaurants built for the incoming crowd. Town House relaunched in May 2024 after closing for some cosmetic changes to the space and the menu, and we think the food is even better this time around. Expect elevated execution of basics like salads, dips, and wings to start, then chicken under a brick or maybe a Mediterranean fish to follow. When the crowd is in full voice, Town House feels like the place where locals meet that next generation of Westchester as they start their night out. Note that parking nearby can be tough, but Town House had added valet on the weekends to ease your burden." - mike wasserman

Town House – New Rochelle - a MICHELIN Guide Restaurant

"New Rochelle has stepped up its game with an enlivened dining scene and Town House is leading the charge. It's set within a three-floored historic building filled with unique touches including black-and-white mosaic-tiled flooring, comfortable booths and a wide bar. Chef Chris dos Reis delivers on the promise of American brasserie food with starters such as charred squid over a sunchoke-squid ink puree. An upcharge for the house made sourdough is worth every penny to sop up the delicious sauce. Elsewhere, pan con tomate is tired and ho-hum, but here it's impressively crisp, fluffy and tangy. Other menu highlights include beef tartare with pommes allumettes; tempura green beans with kimchi and togarashi; and steak au poivre with Szechuan notes." - Michelin Inspector

My wife and I had the amazing opportunity to dine at the Townhouse. Hands down one of the best restaurants in Mid Westchester. From appetizers to entrees were absolutely delicious. I had the trio seafood platter appetizer and the lobster bucatini and I did not want to share 😊. The service was also outstanding. Can’t wait to return. I highly recommend!

I hosted a birthday party for my husband at Town House and they could not have been more fabulous or easier to work with! The cocktails were incredible, the service was impeccable, and the food was delicious. I cannot say enough good things about planning a party with the manager Michael. He got every detail right. The space was just perfect the way he laid it out. What an amazing place to have in New Rochelle! Now I just want to plan another party at Town House…. In the meantime, we’ll keep enjoying date nights there.

This is the best place around! Earlier this year, Town House K&D rebooted and I have to say, version 2.0 is amazing. The staff and servers are super attentive and welcoming and so much of what made it great before is still there, but it’s definitely evolved. The second floor is now open. They have happy hours and weekly specials. TVs are now on for sports. Food menu is kind of perfect, not to mention it’s priced well (and so are the drinks, which are all top notch). We had a party on the second floor, which we rented out, and it worked perfectly with its own bar and an area for a band that played live music. After relocating to Westchester recently, I wasn’t sure if we’d find a NYC-vibe and quality spot to become a regular at, but I’m glad we did! Can’t wait to go back, which will probably be this weekend :)

We recently celebrated my 30th birthday at Townhouse, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the start, Michael, the general manager, went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. The team accommodated my dietary restrictions without sacrificing the quality of the food, which was absolutely delicious. We had the entire second floor to ourselves, which allowed us to decorate and make the space our own. The private bartenders were a huge plus—our guests never had to wait for a drink! The whole atmosphere was relaxed and festive, and we enjoyed every second of our dinner party. We can't wait to come back for dinner again. Highly recommend Townhouse for any special event or just a great night out!

This place is less than mediocre. Parking is definitely a little tough in this area since it’s downtown. Place is very small with limited tables. Decor is not that nice. Our server didn’t seem interested in helping us because she was never around if it wasn’t for the hostess I wouldn’t be able to even order. They did not take allergies serious which automatically is a huge red flag. There seems to be no management around running the place . We ordered the burger because that’s what they’re known for and the fish. Both where flavorless and not good. We ordered the purple drink and that was terrible. Was way to sweet should have been a desert drink but not what I look for in a craft cocktail. Overpriced and a gimmick save your time and money and definitely go somewhere else

We had the loveliest family dinner at the NEW Town House Kitchen + Drinks (new menu / decor / ownership) last weekend while our extended family was in town! We were a party of five adults and two kids (6 and 2 years old) and we shared all of the food so we could get a taste of the diverse menu. The food and atmosphere are impeccable. The restaurant spans three floors with bars on both the first and second floors. There is a heartfelt atmosphere with beautiful, eclectic artwork displayed on the walls featuring depictions of home. Also of note is the fun playlist and friendly, welcoming team. The food is DELICIOUS. We were all really wowed! Try the lobster bucatini, market catch fish, chicken, raw bar, amazing salads! I didn’t try the cauliflower tostada but someone at my table was raving about it. And the kids menu (jokes & activities as well as food) was very well received by our little family members :)

After reading so much about this trendy New Rochelle restaurant plus the Michelin nod, my expectations were high. My curiosity was turned toward the dish I've seen posted on the restaurant's Instagram the jumbo asparagus and creamed greens. The reason for 4 stars is because this dish looked nothing like the one promoted. It was very tasty but it was disappointing in appearance and ingredients. The snapper was beautifully prepared as were the other dishes. The atmosphere was ok with no sight of the chef or a manager. Our server was sweet and new. Perhaps more attention to the diner experience, explanation of the dishes, where the ingredients were sourced would make a nice addition?

I ate at the new Town House last night. I can't wait to go back! The food is extraordinary. Straight forward dishes that are very elevated by meticulous execution and attention to detail. This might have been the best chicken I've ever eaten.The service was gracious and welcoming and the ambiance is delightful!

Everything - absolutely phenomenal. My fav thing was that every single bite tasted just as delicious as the first time around, all over again! And that burger - it took me for a ride full of the most delectably comforting and peperfectly coordinated flavors. Just... wow! #Fiyah

Town House Kitchen + Drinks is surely developing and finding their footing in New Rochelle. If you are an oyster lover, this is a place for you to try. I trust very few places with oysters since I have been horrified by some I have ordered in the neighborhood and beyond. Even at places on our beloved City Island where you would think you could order good, quality oysters safely. Aside from the opening week where they managed to impress me with service and food. They did have a few (minor) areas of improvement to work on. I am happy to report that they are doing well and pushing out really nice dishes. They have added some new dishes and I heard directly from a manager that they are close to releasing a few more. I am very eager to return because I am sure whatever they cook up will be delicious. First trip out during opening week we tried the seafood tower, mussels, and the pork Milanese. All were very good. My least favorite was the pork because it was slightly overdone but nothing worth complaining about. The mussels were bursting with flavor and the tower was a great way to try their cold fresh seafood. This trip I ordered two rounds of oysters and their newly added spinach dip. Highly recommend. The wine list should also be mentioned. It's small but well thought out. I have tried a few bottles and my favorite so far is a reisling from finger lakes. It's truly a gem. The space is gorgeous and they have big plans to utilize all the floors in the near future. The service alone will have you planning your next visit out. MAINE OYSTERS house cocktail sauce, mignonette, lemon They are properly cleaned and so fresh. I appreciate that the flesh of the oyster is left untouched after shucking and I also love that they serve them with extra horseradish on the side without you having to ask. Excellent touch. SKILLET SPINACH-ARTICHOKE DIP fresh mozzarella, pecorino, parmesan This came out super hot as it is prepared in a cast iron skillet. They amount of cheese may make some uncomfortable but for a cheese lover like myself I found it to be perfect! Loaded with fresh spinach and left nothing to be desired other than maybe some extra chips Give them a try.

Town House v2 is a huge improvement over the first version. Some kinks to work out but they are super friendly and want your feedback. It's already much more of an any night spot. Shrimp scampi toast was excellent. We've been twice and the fish of the day has been great both times. Mussels were excellent. But they gotta bring back Maine Lunch (beer)!

The reopening was nearly flawless: The interior has been beautifully redone, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere, Our meal was expertly prepared and delicious. The staff was friendly, accommodating, and attentive. Will defiantly become a New Rochelle go to location, can't wait for them to start serving brunch.

What a gem. Unexpected and excellent in all ways. Loved the oysters--fresh and not a droplet of liquid was spilled, which is my "test" of a great place. We all loved our mains. And the dry Riesling (finger lakes of New York State) was excellent. Did I mention the key lime pie ?

Food was top notch. Prices very reasonable. Service was flawless. And the place feels amazing. A must visit, experience, and return to!
