I had a breakfast business meeting at this Grille, thinking it might be a good restaurant since it's owned by The Townsend Hotel. I ordered a vegetarian omelette and made sure to ask the waiter not to have any meat in it. I remembered this...vividly because the waiter joked and asked me if I wanted hot spices on it. I said not this early in the morning. I also ordered potatoes to go with the meal. I took one bite of the omelette and I noticed a strange pink ingredient coming out. I checked it and it was full of bacon inside. I called Mr. Waiter to tell him, and he blamed it on the cook. There were hardly any customers in the restaurant so it was not really busy for this kind of eatery to make this mistake and miss a simple instruction. The waiter apologized and brought me another omelette; it was vegetarian alright but with spinach, which I asked him to exclude. The potatoes and the omelette practically tasted nothing even with lots of salt, pepper, and ketchup. I certainly do not recommend this restaurant.More

The burger was soooo good! Beautiful presentation! And what was even better about the burger was the service. I felt so taken care of. My iced tea was never empty and our server was so patient with us while we decided what to order. Highly...recommend. Can't wait to go back...now the question would be - order the burger again or try something new?!?More

It has been a while since dining here and I missed it. Upon entering the hotel doors and approaching the restaurant something seemed off....and not in a good way. Several staff members were gathered at the hostess' station gossiping. I thought to myself, "..is this...the Rugby at the Townsend?" I asked the hostess, to be seated on the patio and was rudely told "no" due to the weather forecast. Soon thereafter, the restaurant manager gladly walked another party to the patio. hmmm.... I brushed it off and prepared myself to order. The waiter approached but had no jacket. His shirt, like many other team members, was a dingy white and wrinkled. He did the best he could, but it was quickly apparent that he did not have the panache and skills that I am used to having at the Rugby. I chose the grilled half chicken with root vegetables and a wonderful Bordeaux. It is a meal that I have had previously. When it arrived, it appeared more like a sectioned Cornish game hen that a standard chicken. Wow!! How times have changed. The restaurant manager walked back and forth several times but never stopped at this table. Sad to say, but that is not "The Rugby Grill". It is more like the "restaurant" at the Townsend. Another lost customer.More

The experience my team had at The Townsend Hotel and Rugby Grill was beyond my expectations! Our team flew in from out of town and hosted a filming event to highlight Townsend Hotel on a national show and had a delicious lunch at Rugby Grill....The moment you step foot in front of the Townsend doors, you are greeting with a warm welcome and that feeling carries throughout the luxurious property. Lunch was absolutely delicious! Our time at The Townsend hotel was second to none, and hands down the most excellent experience we've had!More

Top notch fresh food in a comfortable atmosphere. We sat outside for lunch; and had excellent service. They had several salads, a few sandwiches, and a few entrees. Not a wide variety of choices, but everything cooked to perfection with a good mix of ingredients,...fresh vegetables or fruit. It was expensive; yet lived up to the price.More

A friend of mine and I popped in here for a quick appetizer as we were both on to different destinations afterward and passing time. The restaurant is in the prestigious Townsend Hotel, so it was no surprise that it was on the very pricey...side. However, the menu, food and service were impeccable, too. We ordered the charcuterie board, which was certainly out of the ordinary, which I appreciated. I also got a watermelon gazpacho which was fantastic and unique and hit the spot on a warm summer day. A lovely place to dine, along with a lovely overall experience in a charming town, as long as you don’t mind the pricier side of dining.More

I have eaten at the Rugby Grille many times in the past. I recently stayed at the Hotel and had breakfast ,lunch and dinner at the Rugby Grille. Well i must say that the quality and consistency of the food was very good. At breakfast...I had oatmeal and a side of pancakes. The pancakes are a must have. At lunch I had the Rugby Burger and fries. My burger was done just the way I ordered it. When it came t dinner I had the Dover sole and I could have eaten two portions it was so good. Another note that made the experience so good was that the service was really impeccable. I really have no complaints.More
