Lychee sunrise Perfect balance of fruity and sweet. I was not a big fan of the foam on top however my boyfriend liked it a lot. Overall the drink was really good. My boyfriend says it is one of the favorite drinks he's ever had although I don't feel this way, we both quite loved it. Ahi tuna I thought the tuna was pretty good, I think a hint of sweetness would have brought it together perfectly. My boyfriend however was very fond of it and thought it was perfect and really loved it. He thought the salad beneath the tuna complemented the tuna really well. I agree that the combination was pretty good. Filet mignon It was on the pinker side of medium rare, but overall well cooked and well seasoned. Definitely one of the better steaks he has ever had according to my boyfriend. The sides were perfectly seasoned as well, combination worked well together. Fresh catch with salmon preparation I thought the fish was great, and there was a hint of sweetness that really paired well with the sides. My boyfriend thought that the fish was really well cooked and not overcooked and dry like fish often is. But to him, the star of the fish was the seasoning. Too many places are afraid of seasoning their fish and this place was not afraid and that definitely made the food better. Sides were good, potatoes were good but the leaves were quite awkward to eat but the flavor paired well. Dulce de dulce brownie We both think it was in interesting, note worthy attempt, and we're both glad we tried it. That said, we both feel that the execution was far from perfect. The brownie was incredibly decadent, maybe too much so, and to me that was a downside. I feel the sweetness of the brownie really overpowered the ice cream. My boyfriend also feels that the proportion of ice cream to brownie was notably out of wack, leading to it being overwhelming. The popcorn, while an interesting idea felt also a bit awkward making the dish a bit weird but we both loved the concept and idea. My boyfriend thinks that it would be a great idea to reduce the proportion of the brownie and keep the ice cream the same and to also reduce the price to make that desert all worth it. Service We thought that the service was acceptable given that we walked in within an hour before closing. The food came out quickly but fresh and tasty. We would definitely be going back more often if we had the wallet to afford it. Overall a nice gem and a nice spot.

This was our second time at Town Hall. We arrived at opening at 10 AM Sunday morning. The front of the house made it very apparent from the moment we walked in they were not thrilled about us dining. We were informed they would not have a table big enough if we needed use of a high chair for our son. At first we thought it just might be because they were busy but there was only one other group in the dining room. All other tables were open. It felt like all staff members continued to avoid our table during our meal. We had to wait quite some time for drink refills. About half our food came out lukewarm like it had been sitting a while. Overall, very disappointed with our experience. Even if unintentional, the initial interaction and avoidance sucked the wind out of our excitement to return back to Town Hall. I don’t foresee us making a return in the future.

We sat in the back room of the establishment near the kitchen. So I can't tell you how it is near the bar area. But it seemed to be on-point. Very intimate seating. Our waiter, Martin did a phenomenal job with service. I had flounder in a tomato based sauce and beans. I wasn't a fan of the beans. But the fish was cooked 👌🏾. She had the half chicken with mash... and it was delicious 😋

Town Hall Restaurant Jacksonville is a Farm to Table- themed venue in the San Marco district. It was packed when our party got there. We were seated by the kitchen and our server was definitely a seasoned veteran! She was a consummate professional and proud of her craft! She offered amazing recommendations, which we gladly indulged in. We ordered the Duck Fat Cornbread with a bright Napa Cabbage spicy ranch and pepper slaw, Sweet Carrot Hummus with candied pumpkin seed and chili crunch on a nice crostini, and the Seared Octopus with fennel tomato , and almonds in a citrus vinaigrette.All were amazing! Our entrees ranged from the arctic salmon to the house made pasta sugo. They were all delicious! Every enjoyed delicious cocktails but we were so enamored with the deliciousness of the Ancient Peaks cab from Paso Robles! Fantastic, attentive service by a very proud professional staff, amazing food, very quaff-able wines! You will not be disappointed!

Had a really wonderful experience here. It's very cozy and intimate but still refined. Very clean and wonderful service; we felt welcomed right away. I appreciated how helpful the staff was, but not in an overbearing way. The food was delicious; you can really tell from the quality that it is truly farm-to-table, and the ingredients they use are fresh. Portion sizes were also generous and left us full. We ordered the octopus, Brussels sprouts, and green beans as appetizers and the green beans are some of the best we've had, they were rich with flavor. For our entrees we had the homemade pasta, the scallops, and the chicken, all of which were perfectly satisfying and flavorful. I would definitely come again especially for dinner.
