Townsend Places to Dine

Building on the concept of our last blog post, in this one we want to introduce newly married couples and couples betrothed who are looking for restaurant recommendations in our lovely little corner of the world called Townsend. Being the smaller community that it is, Townsend has more general-purpose dining for visitors than restaurants specifically designed for romantic dining, but many a newly married couple has enjoyed these restaurants before, after, and in rare cases right in the middle of the wedding ceremony and found romance with their husband/wife all the same!

Take a look and consider a reservation at these fine establishments:
