Townhouse Dressed Like a Mansion: Maple Bacon Donuts

Blog· Food and Drinks· Reviews

I was excited to visit Townhouse Kitchen and Bar this week for one reason in particular. The space previously occupied by Sushi Samba is in a thorn bush of a location at Galleria Dallas, and my curiostity to see how Townhouse would break through that was peaked.

At first glance, Townhouse seems like a comfy locale with warm, illuminating light fixtures that welcome you into the huge space. The bar itself could easily seat 50 hungry and thirsty patrons, though I’m unsure it will ever reach its potential. On a Thursday evening this place was rather empty but given its newness and somewhat hard to find quality, I can understand why. I’ll have you know this before I go any further, this place is a hidden gem…I’ve never been so impressed with service, attention to detail and taste from a mall restaurant. Not even some of the top notch steakhouses in Dallas could achieve that feat.

The hostess guided us through other diners to our cozy table which face a palm tree-lined outdoor patio and walkway. She also set down a light up wine list…HOW COOL. Fabulous. Our server for the evening, Juan, swept over to grab our drink order and recommended 2 of their strongest drinks. He knows us too well. While we sipped on our Karma (citrus vodka, elderflower and champagne) and Fire & Ice (grapefruit vodka, citrus simple syrup and jalapeño) an array of small plates began arriving. Dishes included BBQ Duck Quesadillas with a killer blueberry salsa, Ahi Tuna stack with crisp citrus notes and flaky tostada, Kung Pao Shrimp Tacos with toasted peanuts and lime & Four Cheese Mac and Cheese (sans bacon, but would DEFINITELY recommend the add-on).

With those four amazing apps under our belt we decided to go in for one last cocktail. We made sure Juan set us out with a bang…oh and did he. Out came the Sage Coach: a refreshing glass of cucumber infused vodka, sage syrup, gin and a champagne topper. My dining companion went with the party in a glass..the Mojito Royal (muddled strawberries, basil, lime, simple syrup. rum and soda.

For dessert we buttoned down our hatches as there was only one item left to conquer. MAPLE BACON DONUTS WITH ICE CREAM AND BACON DRIZZLE. Who ever the crazy effing genius is who came up with this monstrosity of gluttonous goodness deserves a kick in the butt and a handshake at the same time. It was tasty and my dining partner even broke down from the diet realm to indulge in this one of a kind treat. Bless you, Maple Bacon Donut creator…Bless you.

Townhouse Kitchen and Bar is located at the Galleria Dallas near the Westin Hotel. Go there, NOW.

Savage Burritos is the love child of Uncle Julios so it you like UJ, you'll love Savage.  They are a delivery only service offering burritos and bowls from select Uncle Julio kitchens in DFW.

I know this year has dragged on and on for many pe I know this year has dragged on and on for many people but it has flown by to me. I'm 100% sure it has something to do with welcoming Myles into this world during the height of a pandemic and keeping a toddler alive at the same time.  I can't wait for Christmas morning to make memories with my little family (even though Christmas shopping isn't complete and I haven't even thought about wrapping presents). It will all fall in to place, it always does. We didn't attend our favorite Christmas events this year or get pictures with Santa so this random Santa picture will do and I'm 100% happy with it.  If this year has taught you anything,  let it be finding the joy in the little things ❤
The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Althoug The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Although things might be a bit different this season, we're still enjoying some of our favorite foods and traditions. This year we're incorporating ordering family meal kits from @chuysrestaurant for not only my family but extended family that we might not be able to hang with this holiday.  It's a simple way to spread the joy with loved ones, eat delicious food and not forget the reason for the season.  #ad #nachoaverageholiday
Family pictures are always so much fun.... this ye Family pictures are always so much fun.... this year we got to attempt it twice thanks to sweet Bryce.  Thankfully the second time around he cooperated. As painful as they may be,  I'm so glad we get these done every year. I love looking back at them and see how much we've all changed and how much the kids have grown!
Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We got our family pictures back and they look great other than the fact that Bryce decided not to participate. We got one shot with my entire family and Bryce is off to the side playing in poison ivy. 🤦‍♀️

I wanted to send a quick thank you for all the birthday love yesterday! Birthdays are not my favorite day but it was nice to hear from so many people. Here's to another year around the sun ❤
This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city r This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city ran completely by kids. Your child gets to fully immerse themselves into role playing any job they can imagine. From checking animals at the veterinarian, putting out fires as a firefighter,  flying planes in an simulator, creating their own personal logo with Bic, or being a weatherman at WFAA - the options are endless! Kidzania activities are for ages 4 and up.

We felt very comfortable inside with their safety protocols. Temperatures were checked before entering.  Everybody ages 4 and up must wear a mask.  Hand sanitizer was readily available throughout the entire space.  If you're looking for a fun outlet for your child to explore, check it out!
