od reason because Town Kitchen + Bar is nestled within a cozy street in South Miami and the staff is welcoming and friendly. This place has a certain buzz about it. It feels like one of those restaurants where something important is always happening. From the large group celebrating a birthday to the couple sitting by the projected fireplace, Town really caters to whatever you might have going on.Luckily, I made reservations because the place seemed full. Although, Town is quite large with outdoor seating available, plenty of bar space, and the usual dining area, with a separate room for extra seating. This night, we were seated in the dining area. It has low lighting, black & white photographs hanging, an industrial floor and roof, and a distinctive aroma of hearth oven pizza (which convinced me to order their personal Margherita).
To start, we had their warm shrimp salad. This was disappointing because it was basically guacamole with 3 large shrimps served atop, and it was not warm. Town redeemed themselves after the appetizer let-down when I received my Margherita pizza. It turned out to be thin, crispy, and delicious--exactly what I was expecting. It came with plenty of pizza, as I could not finish it all.
Town offers a really cool "Sides to Share" menu, which we ordered their 'Town Mac and Four Cheese Sauce' off of. This Mac and Cheese came straight out of the oven onto our table and was everything Mac and Cheese should be. It had a four-cheese blend, melted throughout the bowl, a slight crisp on top from the baking, and it was perfectly portioned for four of us to share. As an end to our meal, we ordered the Town Cupcakes dessert (that's right, cupcakes!). It came with (you guessed it) four cupcakes--two vanilla, two chocolate--and successfully managed to be the only dessert anyone can ever finish after a full meal.
My visit to this Town was not the last. I would recommend it for family gatherings, friendly outings, and even if your just going to get appetizers and desserts.

Allison, dont forget about Town's extensive cocktail book & rediculous wine menu!
I myself decided to test their capabilities on making a classic Dirty Martini which came with Blu Cheese Stuffed Olives (my favorite)! They succeeded, so I then moved onto a Blackberry Mojitos that was muddled with REAL Blackberry's. I can state confidentally that I had the best mojito at TOWN. I highly recommend it for any lush that might be thirsty on a friday night!
