24-Hour Staycation Guide to Florence, South Carolina | Eater Carolinas

"Downstairs from the Dispensary, the menu of American fare with a Southern twist appealed to me with entrees such as lamb shank and bone-in pork chop paired with local sides like butterbeans and Carolina Gold rice, plus a sprawling selection of crafted cocktails, desserts, and post-dinner digestifs." - Denise K. James

Celebrated my birthday dinner here with my wife on a Friday night. The place was packed which set a lively atmosphere and we dove right in upon arrival. I ordered the half roasted chicken which came with potatoes and green beans. It was delicious! I also tried a bite of my wife’s shrimp fettuccine; it was just okay for me, though she really enjoyed it. For dessert, we shared the Limoncello Blueberry Cheesecake which was a great finish to the meal. The service was excellent—friendly and attentive throughout. The only drawback was the wait as it took almost an hour for our food to arrive. Overall, a nice experience despite the delay.

Townhall presents a tale of two dining experiences: a small, brightly lit front area resembling a cafe, and a stunning, more intimate main dining room in the back. The architecture and design of the main room were truly beautiful and created a lovely ambiance. My visit on a Wednesday evening began with a frustrating search for parking, which was nearly impossible to find nearby. Once inside, I ordered a good whiskey sour and the Townhall fries. The fries were decent, but their $15 price tag seemed steep. The main problem, however, was the half roasted chicken. From the first bite, it had a strong smell that was so unappetizing I couldn't finish it. Even after taking it home and trying to air fry it, the smell persisted, and the meal was a complete loss. Given the hassle of finding a parking spot and the inedible chicken, I have no plans to return.

My husband and I really enjoyed ourselves here. Our bartender was very attentive. The drinks were amazing and the food was even better. Highly recommend the macaroni and cheese. There’s also outdoor seating if you want to bring a furry friend.

Town Hall restaurant was a different experience. The front end has a great full bar and small tables for couples. There is a fun little seating area in front to enjoy watching people walk by. The drinks were unique, I ordered the Caribbean storm and it was delicious! Great job bartenders! The main restaurant is at the back of the restaurant and has mirrors all around which is odd and unique, it allows the customers facing the wall to see everything else going on in the restaurant. They also have an open kitchen so you can see them preparing food. We started with the crispy oysters and crispy brussel sprouts. Both dishes were delicious and plenty for a table of four. The oysters had a delicious sauce and pickled cucumber which paired great. For the main course, I was underwhelmed. I ordered the shrimp fettuccine with calabrian chili crunch. It was very spicy for my taste and the shrimp were very tiny. I added scallops because I love scallops. Unfortunately that was a mistake and a waste of money because the scallops were so salty I could hardly eat them. Chef... Scallops do not need a ton of salt! Overall, I was not at all happy with that entire dish and would not order it again. I took a taste of my friends fresh catch wahoo dish which was delicious and not too salty. I wish I had ordered that instead. Overall, it was a unique experience.

My wife and I frequent Town Hall for date night, but popped in yesterday for the wine tasting and an early dinner. We never leave the disappointed. Wine tastings are Wednesday and Thursday and only $20 per person. The menu rotates based on what’s in season but have never been disappointed. The duck fat cornbread is a must have.

The front of this establishment is nice and more welcoming to our vibe. But the back, which is essentially IN the kitchen, wasn’t really a great experience. The food overall wasn’t the greatest. My partner ordered a chicken dish which was sent back due to the lack of any seasoning. That dish was replaced with a pasta dish which was much better. The vegetarian dish I ordered was decent. The drinks were GREAT! The drinks and our waitress were the best part of this outing here.

Unfortunately, this place was a “no” for the 3 of us - it did not live up to the 4.5+ star ratings it had in Google. We started with drinks and appetizers. I typically find it to be a red (or at least orange) flag when the bar has all cocktails pre-made - obviously means they are not made fresh and cannot be modified. That was a bummer. Drinks are very sweet and not very strong so, if that’s your thing… Appetizers were the best part of the meal. We had the brussel sprouts which was a formidable mountain of sprouts topped with blue cheese and bacon. We also did the fried oysters (good, but could definitely use a “kick” like hot sauce or jalepeño ranch) and the duck fat cornbread (we liked the tangy slaw mixture underneath, but the cornbread was cold and had previously been pan seared but maybe like way before being plated? The temperature mismatch was a let down as it was cool throughout). For mains, we had the steak which came with some truffle butter. Steak was tender but woefully under-salted (a unanimous decision amongst three people at the table) and they do not have salt out on the tables. Likewise, the accompanying green beans were under-seasoned as well. The most disappointing was their “sugo” - the “house special” - a “deconstructed” lasagna. I’m a millennial and still disappointed by this abstract artistic description. It was a bowl of pasta. That’s it. The meat was impossible to find, finer than minced garlic. And cheese? Lasagna’s star ingredient? A pitifully light sprinkling overtop. Otherwise, the first flavor that came to mind was “Chef Boyardee”. Except without the salt. Yikes. Overall, I cannot recommend this spot. San Marco appears to have lots of other blooming restaurants in the area - I’d recommend sampling them instead.

Our oldest daughter treated us to this very nice restaurant. We sat at the bar which was was comfortable and the service was great. We got the house pasta, spicy ahi tuna, Cobb salad, carrots and sweet potato fries. The presentation of food was lovely. The food tasted as wonderful as it looked. (We shared the dishes so I was able to taste everything). I was pleasantly surprised at nice size portions of food. I would recommend if you want to pay a little more for good food and atmosphere.

Well we got pushed this way! It turns out to be a great find. We called ahead, and the only seating was outside, because it was mother's day. It was a little humid outside and a lot of people passing by, cars rolling right on us, that's what I didn't like. Customers service was great; we got seated right away. The waitress came over shortly. We got our drink orders. We got the crispy Brussel sprouts. If you think you don't like Brussel sprouts, you need to go check these out. The best I've ever had, it had balsamic and blue cheese on it, It also was supposed to have crispy bacon, but we opted to omit that! The crab cakes were good, and if you're not real hungry, this is a good option, but with the Brussel sprouts I was good. We thought the omelet with a salad was odd! We should have gotten potatoes. They make most of the items from scratch. I would go back for a bowl of Brussel sprouts (that I won't be sharing) and try the mac n cheese.

This chef owned, sister restaurant to Priti was a pleasant light supper experience to cap off the night after another event in downtown Jax. It made me nostalgic for old restaurants like Cafe St. Michel, a French restaurant in San Marco back in the '80's. Great wine list! Try the Sweet Cheeks and the Anne Amie. The ahi tuna and cobb salad were delicious and just right for slightly hungry revelers who wanted to chill in a quiet, classy space before the night ended.

So, ended here by accident & glad I stayed. Started off a bit rocky due to hostess. I booked my Rez on Open Table and when I tried to. Help in she stated she didn't see my name and I'd have to wait. I replied I booked online ..she then stated their system was down & that's why and that they were only accepting cash (thank goodness I happened to have on me). So first impression with her wasn't well. HOWEVER, my server saved the night and was great! I went solo and she actually helped me choose my meal and not shown I had a Malbec wine. The food was good: the mustard in the chicken was a bit overpowering, but chicken was tender & juicy. Mashed potatoes, creamy and green bean had a nice little crunch. The sweet potato fries I ordered as an appetizer and the spicy ranch sauce was delicious I will return and next time try the steak

We dined in for brunch on a reservation and were seated promptly. We had a corner booth that was a bit snug with nearby tables close by. The restaurant was a little on the warm side but it is very hot outside. We each got a different entree so a good spread. The biscuits and gravy were good. Generously portioned though the sauce was on the thin side. The classic breakfast and fried chicken sandwich were excellent with crispy bacon and fried chicken. The pimento grits were creamy and delicious. The mushroom fontina omelette, French toast and breakfast bowl were all good but nothing stand out about them. The server was kind and attentive. Overall we had a good experience and would return.

Our server was knowledgeable and attentive but I couldn't help but feel we were consistently being up-sold. The inside is beautiful, menu is upscale, and prices reflect that. The menu does appear to change and this round just wasn't my jam. The only thing I loved all around was the burrata. The crispy Brussels were really tasty but also rich. The octopus was good but had a briny fishy taste I'm not used to and had far too many sun dried tomatoes. The salmon was good but the couscous was on a bed of romesco that seemed tomatoey and it overpowered the flavors. The scallops also good but again, the flavor combo didn't hit for me.

Service was good. They really like to refill your water. Ambiance is like eating in a wealthy families kitchen. Lighting is cool I enjoyed the style. The food was good but felt like each dish was missing something ingredient wise. Overall good night heavy price.

We tried Town Hall for Sunday Brunch this past weekend. Amazing experience!! Home runs all around. Skip church, either disregard your original plans, or invite your family, but you must try this place. It may be THE best brunch in the area. Our waitress was fantastic. Polite, great service, and extremely knowledgeable about the menu and all that was on it. It was our first time and she had excellent recommendations. The interior has great wood and brick accents and combines them both to create a casual but classy atmosphere. We ordered three appetizers and split them between us. The Bananas Foster Bread pudding came out first. It was as our waitress called it "adult sweet" and it was perfect. Warm, soft moist, hearty, just the perfect amount of sweetness to it. We next tried the loaded truffle fries and crispy Brussels sprouts. Genius use of balsamic with both. The fries were the right amount of crispy, great cheesy taste. Excellent. The Brussels were cooked perfectly. Crispy on the outside but retaining the delicious taste. Great use of cheese on this one as well. So glad we tried Town Hall, I highly suggest you do the same and we'll be back to try their other meals as well.

We had a fantastic date night at Town Hall in Jacksonville, and it's easily one of the more fun spots we've been to in the San Marco area. The atmosphere is great--classy but not stuffy--and there are different ways to experience the space. The front section has a lively bar, wine bar, and high-top seating, while the back dining room offers a more formal setting for a relaxed meal. The food? Outstanding. The scallops were creatively prepared, and the seared salmon was absolutely perfect--flaky, flavorful, and served with sautéed spinach that complemented it really well. Service was also a highlight. Marty took great care of us--efficient, friendly, and with just the right level of casual professionalism that made the experience even better. Pricing felt reasonable for the quality, at around $50 per person, which made it a solid value for a special night out. Reservations were easy to make through OpenTable, and the whole experience was smooth from start to finish. Definitely recommend checking out the photos before you go--the space is beautiful!

More like 3.5 stars - chic spot and nice decor. We either have the option to sit at a high top for only about 50 minutes until the reservation party came or sit at the spot by the front, which has couches in a small table. We opted for the couch area since we didn't want to be rushed. Service was good. The food was ok. I didn't love the shrimp pasta, but I would try something else next time. The lavender crème brûlée was the best. The table in this area is drift wood like so it's an off shape and hard to eat on though.

Wow, wow, wow! We called ahead on Sunday morning for reservations instead of using Open Table since we were unsure if we could reserve a standard table on the app. We loved the sleek and cozy back dining area with the open kitchen. Our server, Alex P., was fantastic, providing wonderful suggestions as it was our first time here. She was also super attentive and made sure our table still water was refilled throughout our meal. We wanted to try a few starters and decided on three to share instead of main entrees. The Sunday-only brunch Bananas Foster Bread Pudding was amazing. It was not overwhelmingly sweet, crispy on the outside and soft & moist on the inside. Loved that it didn't need a cream sauce and that the banana flavor was really subtle. We also ordered the crispy Brussels sprouts and loaded fries. We enjoy Brussels everywhere we find them and this preparation did not disappoint. The large serving was a perfect combination of bacon, blue cheese crumbles and balsamic glaze. The loaded fries had yummy cheese melted on top and sprinkled throughout the large portion. My husband's Chilly Irishman cold brew was really good too. We can't wait to return for dinner soon.

My wife and I visited Town Hall while in Jacksonville, which is based in the San Marco suburb area along with a variety of other shops and restaurants. The restaurant was busy but we were able to get a table, and our waiter, Michael, was friendly and very attentive. I ordered the filet medium rare which was cooked closer to medium/medium well, but still tender. The cut of filet was nice, but I did not like the sauce it was presented in. It's displayed beautifully and is a very original approach, I just did not prefer it. My wife enjoyed her Roast Chicken very much.

Love Town Hall! There's not a bad seat in this smaller restaurant. I like bringing out of town guests here but also just going with my husband a couple times a year. Their drinks are consistently good. For food I highly recommend the Brussels sprouts and truffle parmesan fries- always a hit! Both their brunch and dinner menus are great. I had the gelato this time for the first time and it was tasty. I will say it's hard to find parking in this area so leave extra time for that.

Second time here. Amazing food and service. Ordered the Ahi tuna app which was flavorful, just wish there was more! I had the shrimp fettuccine and my bf had the cauliflower dish. I devoured the pasta. They do not skimp on the shrimp either. Had a taste of the feta stuffed cauliflower and it was super tasty. Great seasoning. Shared the dessert special: banana foster bread pudding. What a way to end the meal. Wow, it was one of the best bread pudding I've had. Paired well with the ice cream. Top notch experience here! Would recommend making reservations. They were pretty busy (Friday evening).

TLDR; Attentive service, fantastic, but pricey drinks, nice MCM decor. Food highlights: brussel sprouts and roast chicken. As long as you don't order the filet (which has a decent chance of being overcooked), you'll likely have a great experience. After our less than stellar experience last time, we waited almost a year to return and it was much improved. However, the issue I had with my filet being overcooked happened again! This time, to my husband. He ordered his filet medium rare (should have some red and pink), but it was served medium well (barely any pink). He was about to point it out to our server and before he even said anything, our server recognized it and said "it's overcooked?" and immediately offered to bring another one out. Instead of the 30+ minutes that I waited to get my filet last time, he only waited about 5 minutes and a manager brought it over himself and apologized, which we really appreciated.

The service here is always kind and consistent. I've been many times before and have not been disappointed. There were definitely some menu changes regarding drinks, but you can never go wrong with an espresso martini :) I ordered the shrimp fettuccini (my favorite dish there) and it was a bit spicier than normal, which is perfect for me, but maybe not for others. The color also looks a bit different than when I've had it in the past. Maybe there was a slight recipe change?

Beautiful spot in San Marco with a cool, upscale vibe. The food was creative and well-executed--especially the seared octopus and duck-fat cornbread. Great cocktails and a solid wine list. Service was friendly but a bit slow during the dinner rush. Still, definitely worth a visit!

We were in the area to attend a Yelp Elite event at Millie's Ice Cream, so my wonderful husband was nice enough to make a dinner reservation at this restaurant before our ice cream dessert at Millie's. It was our first time dining here but I have a feeling it will not be our last. The restaurant has indoor, outdoor and bar seating. The bar seating is located in the initial room you walk into as you enter the restaurant, and it is a beautiful room with plenty to enjoy. The dining area with regular tables is in a different room further into the restauarnt. It had a very nice vibe to it with some great seventies music playing. The menu is small but good. They have several appetizers and entrees, as well as a few desserts. I opted for the seared scallops. They came with a delicious pureed celery root and braised leeks. The whole entree was very tasty. My husband had the seared salmon. It came with sautéed spinach and couscous. He loved his dinner as well. Service was great from our waiter, Martin.

Love the tastings they do here each week. I always go for the bubbles tasting and the loaded French fries are out of this world!! So foodie and that black garlic aioli is my jam. Tried the mushroom truffle grilled cheese tonight and it was gbd. They have been amazing for years and am so glad they continue!!!!

I can't believe I haven't been here before. It's located conveniently in San Marco. We went on a Sunday afternoon so there was adequate free street parking. I liked the cosy, charming, elegantly casual ambience. I could hear music from the late 70's-80's in the background which was great while enjoying the food with pleasant company. Our waiter was very polite and accommodating. We were seated with a nice view of the kitchen staff hard at work. We sampled a few items from the menu and some non alcoholic drinks and everything tasted wonderful. There were options for smaller portions of the main dishes for those with smaller appetites. I felt I got value for my money and a great evening out.

I came here for a birthday dinner with my family and the restaurant was all around great and I cannot wait to visit again! The drinks are great and they have lots of craft beer to choose from and also a good wine variety. To start we ordered the loaded fries and the charcuterie board along with the roasted duck corn bread. All of the appetizers were delicious, my entree was the seared duck breast which was also prepared perfectly. The portions of all the dishes were a nice size and the ambiance of the restaurant was also very nice.

Quick dinner on a busy Friday night. We got a small table outside and service was great. Pepper crusted tuna appetizer was nice. My scallops were too salty and the waiter offered to change them. New ones were still salty, but I really appreciated the effort.

I'm not sure what took us so long to try Town Hall. I've heard nothing but good things so while a friend of ours was in town, we tried them out for dinner. It was a fairly busy Friday night but we got lucky with a table near the open kitchen. We started off with the duck fat cornbread and loaded fries. Outstanding appetizers! The cornbread was moist and flavorful. I really enjoyed the Napa cabbage base, it added a fresh element to the dish. The loaded fries were delicious! I especially loved the truffle-balsamic and black garlic aioli combination. For the main course, hubby ordered the house-made pasta + sugo and I ordered the seared scallops. Both dishes were amazing. The pasta was cooked flawlessly! He loved the beef and pork sugo, deep flavors and great consistency. The scallops were superb! Maybe the best shallops I've ever had. So tender and succulent with a beautiful sear. The capers were a wonderful addition. Excellent cocktails, food and service! We can't wait to visit again!

I went with my wife before a show at Florida Theater on a Saturday night. We sat outside on the patio when it was in the 60s. It was a little chilly but not too bad. They have heaters outside but had to replace the tanks in both while we were there. We started with the grilled cheese app. I thought it was pretty good. It had a slight tangy flavor which was different. I think it was something in the aioli. I got the smoked octopus for my entree. It was cooked well so it wasn't chewy. There was a good smokey flavor, the horseradish sauce was not overpowering and the vanilla pickled onions added a hint of sweetness. I would definitely get this again. I was still a little hungry so I got a bowl of the squash soup to warm me up. It had a dollop of mozzarella cheese in it which was different. I like this dish too. My wife got the 8oz filet and substituted garlic butter for the blue cheese butter. The steak was cooked to the right temperature but a little charred on the outside. Some of the green beans were charred too but I like them that way. The potatoes were cooked well and I liked the sauce everything sat in. I think it was an oil and balsamic mix. The service was good. Sometimes you are forgotten if you're the only person sitting outside but that didn't happen. I'm game to go back. I'm not sure if my wife feels the same way.

This is a nice restaurant located in the San Marco area. Parking can be challenging as with anything in the area. We did luck out with a space that was fairly close. We made early reservations so we were sat right away. We did sit in the back area which is a little close together but the place was fairly empty so not an issue. We did like the overall atmosphere. The front has high tops and the bar / lounge area while the back had tables for 2 or more people. The back area is connected to the kitchen area. Our server was great and she knew the menu well. She made great suggestions and really took care of us. We ordered the duck fat cornbread and it was delicious! I had the half roasted chicken with broccolini and whipped potatoes. My wife ordered a side of Mac and cheese which she added chicken too and a side of broccolini. The food is fabulous. The potatoes were so creamy and delicious and the broccolini was cooked perfectly. The side of Mac and cheese was a meal in itself. The chicken was so tender and the harissa syrup was good. There were a few pieces with a heavy dose that was a bit overwhelming but when spread out the taste is great. We did order a vanilla crème brûlée which was delicious. Overall, we had a great dining experience and would recommend Town Hall.

Been here around 3 times, never impressed except for the Brussels sprouts and the cheese board. Once the scallops were very salty and the other time the duck breast really had no flavor to it. It is a shame because in paper the menu looks incredible, but I guess the delivery not so much. Service and ambience on the other hand have always been on point. I'll be back to get the Brussel sprouts and try something else, hopefully some things change for it not to be the last one.

After eating here 5 times, I can declare that Townhall is reliably excellent. Seared Octopus: A+, perfectly cooked, paired with couscous and a tasty tomato sauce. Delicious. This is supposed to be an appetizer, but I could eat this as an entree. Fried Whole Snapper special: A+, crispy, nicely seasoned, two sauces plus an interesting rice preparation. Although priced at $72, it was worth it and can be shared. Fries with black garlic aoli: B. Sauce wasn't special, and the fries were ok.

Okay so I'm in love with Town Hall. My boyfriend and I went in on a Wednesday night for our anniversary and it's stunning to walk into. It's got a cozy and warm vibe, with lively seating arrangement including lounges, a bar that looks almost like a kitchen island, and a dining room in the back. You definitely need a reservation for this spot from what I could see! They have wine tastings on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 4:30-7:00PM. I'm not quite sure what this entails but it looked like a lot of people were enjoying it. They also do brunch on Sundays from 10:00AM-2:30PM. Half priced wines every Monday as well. And happy hour every day from 4:30-6:00PM. Lots of good specials and deals! I tried the Violet Monarch ($14) to drink and it was so good! Perfectly sweet and I loved the sugar rum. My boyfriend went for the Game Day ($12) and it was really good as well. For dinner, I went for the Seared Salmon ($32) and it was really yummy. I especially loved the sweetness from the parsnip purée with the fish. I wish the salmon was a bit thicker but that's not super important. My boyfriend ordered the dinner portion of the Seared Scallops ($38), which came with 5 scallops instead of the 3 for lunch. They were perfectly cooked and came with lentils. We also got the Mac and Cheese ($6) and Broccolini ($6) as sides and they were awesome. The Mac and Cheese was so much better than I expected - super cheesy and yummy. The Broccolini were perfectly how I liked it too, nothing crazy going on. For our anniversary, they brought us a complimentary Flourless Chocolate Cake (originally $8) which was perfectly chocolatey and dense, perfect for the end of the meal. Town Hall is definitely on the pricier side, but like its sister restaurant Prati Italia, the food, drinks, and vibe are all top notch. I will absolutely be back for another special occasion and highly recommend!

The house pasta from Town Hall is soo good. I have eat at many places in Jacksonville, this restaurant is one of the most pleasant to go to. The wife and I love the atmosphere and the price totally reasonable.

We had a reservation and were seated in the back half of the restaurant which is like a dining hall. The acoustics are terrible and add to that a table of patrons who were way too loud for the environment, so we asked to be moved. We were put at the end of the bar where the servers congregate and under which the register sits. Not ideal, but it was much cozier of a feeling in the front bar area. My husband ordered the salmon and I ordered the cauliflower, which was really good. His salmon was average and both dishes came out just warm rather than hot. For the prices, they need to up their game. The chef is doing a good job; but they need to balance the environment and serve the foot when it's hot. The Up In Smoke cocktail with Mezcal, clementine juice and line juice was absolutely delicious! Not sure we'd go back again because it's just not a cozy, comfortable place to dine if you want a special dining experience.

The food just wasn't as good as I was expecting it to be. Not that there was anything wrong with it, I was just left feeling underwhelmed with every dish. It's a very cute little hole in the wall though. I bet doing the wine tasting would be fun.

I'm a huge fan of this place! It's been one of my husband's and my go-to spots recently and we ALWAYS have a great meal. You can have a really cool experience sitting at the bar or in the back room for standard seating. Depending on what kind of vibe you're looking for, you can find it here! The food is PHENOMENAL. So much flavor. Local. Fresh. Delicious. Every ingredient is treated with respect and it's immediately noticeable. Service is also great here - I had fun today going earlier in the evening for happy hour and having a quiet space to visit with my friend. I made a reservation just in case and am glad I did because it got pretty busy during the time we were there. Tonight I enjoyed the radiatori with chicken and the duck fat cornbread. Yes, they are as mouthwateringly delicious as they sound! You really can't go wrong with any of the menu items here. I like to try different things when I come and I am never left wanting. You'll love the experience!

Lovely dining experience at Town Hall! We sat in the back room near the kitchen. Our waiter was friendly and mostly attentive. It took a while for the drinks to come and ordering in between courses, but we didn't mind as we were catching up and enjoying the evening. The burrata was a fabulous starter. The little ciabatta slices were the perfect size and right amount of softness/crunchiness for the burrata. Did not disappoint!! For my entree I got the house made pasta with sugo. The dish was delicious! Would have loved a bit more ricotta, but overall was yummy. Love the in-house pasta and how unique it is. My friend got the shrimp fettuccine which was delicious as well. The tomato cream was an interesting take on the traditional fettuccine that we weren't expecting. Overall great meal and experience, will be back!

Food is always good here at Townhall... make reservations though, it gets busy and crowded.

I've ate here a few times and it continues to impress me. Great happy hour and incredible food. The salmon is phenomenal and would recommend this place to anyone in the area. The staff is quick and professional and the atmosphere is perfect.

Had a reservation set for 5pm called prior to check in to make sure all was good because our reservation for 6 suddenly turned into 4 due to an emergency with 1 couple of our party. We were told that we would only have an hour and a half for our party and that we would have to leave after time has lapsed. Excuse me? Ummm... not only do we order in abundance but we drink in abundance should it matter if our dinner takes 2 or even 2 1/2 hours? We canceled our reservations. Very unfortunate considering we have heard nothing but good reviews from friends that had the pleasure to dine without a predetermined time limit. Fix your policy!

Took my favorite Jags cheerleader for Sunday brunch prior to the game. We were one of the first thru the door so seated quickly. This is probably my only negative here...I hate the forced cross table seating when you're only a party of two. We only started our relationship 37 years ago and still enjoy sitting next to each other! I won't however let it affect the rating as I knew this going in. Started the festivities with Mimosas and the freshly baked brunch pastry, which on this day was a blueberry muffin?cake? that was absolutely yummy. Accompanied by a side of jam and butter; one piece each was plenty of sugar but they gave us a nice small perfectly sized to go container for the remainder. For brunch mains I choose the buttermilk biscuit and gravy with a sunny side egg on top. You can also add chicken but I was completely filled up with out it. The flavor was fantastic; perhaps the best I've ever had. The cheerleader went a bit lighter choosing the mushroom and house made ricotta omelet with a side salad. She mentioned enjoying the mushrooms while quickly polishing it off. We've been trying a few brunches while in DUUUUUVAL and I'll tell you, Town Hall really has it going on. Everything; the service, food quality and quantity seem spot on. And speaking of service I've misplaced my receipt so cannot call out our server by name at this time. She was great. When we get home I will edit this review and include her name.

Service was outstanding and brunch was excellent. Seating is a little close together and noise level is a little loud, but it was a Sunday brunch so it was quite busy. You'll want to make a reservation and you'll definitely enjoy

We love Town Hall for dinner so figured we'd check out brunch! The brunch cocktails were yummy but I was a little disappointed by the limited menu. We had the pastry of the day and burrata apps which were both great. The crab cake Benedict was tasty but not the best I've had in Jax. Still one of my favorite spots for drinks and apps regardless!

This is our go-to celebration and "bring out of town guests" place. Since we had a job promo to celebrate we made a last minute reservation and only option was bar seating. Hostess sat us at one of the tables in bar area and then came back a minute later and made us move to the actual bar because we had a bar reservation. I didn't quite understand the difference bc there is a dining room and bar that are distinct from one another and we were clearly in bar area. Anyhow our waiter/bartender was very nice and pleasant. We ordered and app came out and literally 2 min later the entrees came out. He did apologize for the " odd timing" The sweet potato hummus was good but odd. It actually tasted like pumpkin pie filling not a hummus. My filet was cooked perfectly and tasty. Hubby got the cauliflower steak as he always does (he's the vegan) but he said it was basically raw and the grilled avacado was burned to a crisp. We will be back because the prior visits were great. Maybe an off night tonight.
