Townhouse Restaurant & Wine Bar

Delicious tacos! And the rice was unbelievable. Also, if you enjoy gin and grapefruit, then you'll love the Wanderlust.

We had a few hours between trains and were looking for a convenient spot for dinner. This turned up within easy walking distance. Made a reservation online and headed over. I wasn't familiar with QR menus, but it was fairly straightforward for me, and Dad managed with help. I settled on a nice Riesling, a salad, and what turned out to be a sizeable bowl of tasty jambalaya. Dad ordered Chardonnay without consulting the list, and what he felt was an unimpressive whitefish. The bill ran a bit higher than the online information had suggested - the place is decidedly not cheap. Service was acceptable. The atmosphere was LOUD - the various conversations were reverberating to the point that ordinary conversation was difficult at best. All in all, decent food convenient to Union Station, but I would not look here for inexpensive options or for a social occasion.

If I could rate it higher, I would. Food was great, staff was phenomenal! Peach sangria and banana cake are beyond delicious!
