Town, American restaurant in San Carlos, California
Town is an American restaurant located in San Carlos housed within the historic Tivoli building. The kitchen specializes in wood-fired rotisserie chicken, hand-cut steaks, and fresh seafood prepared with ingredients from regional sources.
This establishment opened in 2006 following a fire that closed the previous restaurant on the site in 2005. The opening marked the arrival of a new dining destination that would focus on regional ingredients and traditional cooking methods.
The restaurant maintains close ties with regional farmers and producers, bringing ingredients from Salinas Valley and their own Rancho Alena Farm to every plate. This commitment to local sourcing shapes how the place feels and what guests experience when they eat here.
The restaurant welcomes guests most days for lunch and dinner, with extended hours on weekends. Both dine-in and takeaway options are available, making it flexible for different dining preferences.
The establishment raises its own Black Angus cattle at Rancho Alena and feeds them a special blend of barley, hops, molasses, corn, and cherries before dry-aging the meat. This careful control over the entire process allows the kitchen to achieve a flavor profile that reflects both tradition and attention to detail.
