Townsends Serves Comfort Food Salted with Ambiance

By Pat Desmond
Times Staff
Hospitality is what Townsends, just over the line at 81 Fairmont Ave. in Hyde Park, is all about.

Fresh organic ingredients combined with new recipes fill the menu. Most

of the items on the menu are products of the sea.

I tried the haddock special when I visited not long ago. It was spectacular. The portions are large. The garlic mashed potatoes are delicious.

Does a real Irish restaurant need to serve corned beef and cabbage?

Not so much.
Michael and Rosaleen Tallon, the proprietors, came to this country from Ireland more than 20 years ago.

They live in Hyde Park with their son, Conor, who was a student at St. Mary of the Hills until last year when he stepped up to Catholic Memorial. It is said he helps with taste testing.

Townsends has been open for two years. Before opening in the section of the city they call home, the Tallons owned and operated the Kendall Café in Cambridge for 14 years.
The restaurant is family-oriented because it was created out of the hopes of a strong Irish-American family. But I’d like to tell that story another time. It’s a story about how the son of a soldier in the Irish Army and the grandson of a soldier in the IRA decided to farm his roots on the other side of his family and develop a career in hospitality.

The secret of the Tallons’ success is hard work and fresh ingredients.

Comes to Area
with Opening
of Suffolk Grille

By Kathy Kurtz Ferrari

Foodies rejoice! The local fine dining scene just got a whole lot tastier, thanks to the opening of the new restaurant Suffolk Grille, located at 2790 Washington St., Route 138, on the Canton line.

For years, the location had been living in the shadow of its past life: the old Howard Johnson’s. But the high-end cuisine being served up now is sure to give the locale a new identity.

Having had its more recent starts and stops by others trying to make a go of it, including “New Kid” musician Donnie Wahlberg, the spot had been going through its fair share of anonymity. Even though sitting adjacent to a Dunkin’ Donuts/Baskin Robbins franchise may seem an odd destination for fine dining, new Milton resident and restaurateur James Marathas thinks the location is just right.

dbar is dbest
for dstress

By Judy McDonough
Judy McDonough is our office manager. She also handles circulation for the Milton Times. She will occasionally write reviews for us. This review is of the restaurant, dbar, at 1236 Dorchester Ave. in Dorchester –Editor

Our office closed at exactly 5 p.m. recently—an unusual occurrence. The staff then headed out together for an evening of food and socializing. We saw this as a way to “de-stress” as the holidays approach, and our work of putting out a newspaper becomes even more complicated than usual.
