    We came to eat brunch before a football game on a Sunday. The place has the cutest “at home” style decor. They have 2 eating areas inside and you can also sit outside. We sat in the back where we could see the kitchen, so cool! Food was made fresh with fresh ingredients, and the service was very good too. Parking is bit limited store front.

    Excellent quality food, very nice staff/waiter, food came relatively quick. Prices are fair albeit a little on the pricey side. Could use more seating inside but just make a reservation if needed. Great atmosphere. Steak, potatoes, scallops, fries, it was all great.

    Food=outstanding. Pumpkin bread, breakfast bowls, and plenty of cocktail options. Atmosphere - clean building, comfortable, swanky Service - exceeds expectations Try the Chilly Irishman or the Coldbrewtini for coffee cocktail. Recommend to try this place.

    The good: Excellent service, clean restaurant, nice interior, quickly seated with reservation. The roasted chicken that included mashed potatoes and broccolini was good. The fries were okay - not hot and the cheese was lacking quality that the price demanded. The bad: I tried the catch of the day - Cobia. It was cooked well, but the entire dish lacked flavor. The fish was very bland and the sauce had no flavor. Had the fish been blackened or had any actual seasoning it would’ve made a world of a difference. Does the chef not taste these things before they’re sent out? One of the worst dishes I’ve had in my life. On top of that it was probably only around 8 oz of fish… you can buy 6x as much fresh fish for the same price at a store and cook it properly. $100 for 2 entrees, 1 drink during happy hour, and fries. Orsay is the gold standard in town for restaurants with $20-40 entrees and every time we try someplace new it feels like a waste of money. If you can’t season fish properly another trip is not warranted. Gave an extra star for the friendly service from Liam and interior decor.

    I had heard good things about Town Hall so I called to book a reservation. When I called, they did tell me the main dining room was booked for an event and that they had seating in the bar, which was fine. What they didn't tell me, and what we learned when we were seated is that we couldn't order food...we had to wait about 20-30 minutes before they were able to take food orders. The bartender/server did grab us some bread to snack on while we waited and had some drinks. When we were finally able to order we had quite an appetite so we started with the brussel sprouts, grilled octopus, and a spring salad. We really enjoyed the brussel sprouts. They had big, bold flavors due to being cooked well done which brought out the nuttiness of them and played well with the sweet and sour glaze and tangy blue cheese. Comparatively, the grilled octopus was really bland and lacking salt and seasoning. The cook on the octopus itself was perfect but the lack of seasoning and odd pairing of Ricotta just didn't work. The spring greens salad was surprisingly tasty, the croutons were well seasoned and actually made the dish as the dressing was pretty one-note and lacking in any well defined flavor. For dinner I ordered the duck breast and my wife opted for the fish of the day which was flounder. The duck was good, though a bit over cooked...it definitely wasn't the medium rare that our server asked if I was fine with how it is served. I made the mistake of not swapping the brussel sprouts that came with the dish for something else, but since that's how it is supposed to be served it is fair for me to make an observation. The big flavor of the brussel sprouts overpowers everything, including the duck, and is pretty much all I could taste unless I ate the components separately. My wife's flounder looked nice, but in the process of getting the nice sear in the fish they dried it out. The romesco helped add back some moisture to the fish but it wasn't enough to counteract the desiccated flounder. To finish the meal we opted for the cheese and meat appetizer, since we weren't in the mood for something too sweet. We really enjoyed the thinly sliced meats and the cheeses...but we had overindulged so we wound up taking most of that home to eat later. Overall, this seems like a decent place for drinks and appetizers but maybe not for main dishes. I'm not sure if this was a one-off bad night but I probably won't be back and it definitely wasn't worthy of the buzz.

    Wonderful, delicious, and relaxing time. Cocktails were excellent. We started out with the pimento cheese grits that were such a perfect texture and mild taste that I could have easily eaten a second bowl. The crab cake Benedict was so spot on I thought I was back in Maryland. The mushroom and ricotta omelette was perfection; light, fluffy and just rich enough to satisfy the palette.

    My fist impression it was good. It was for my b-day. Food is delicious but a little pricey considering the portions size. I went there specifically for their octopus and don’t get me wring it was delicious but very small. Other than that I have no comment, very nice service and ambience, great food. The scallops dish you see I had to pay extra to get “the bigger size” which to me is a regular size dinner. Anyway, worth trying.

    Very small, pleasant spot tucked into San Marco. The apps and hand made pastas were delicious. The Brussels 😋 were especially tasty. Don’t be put off by the bar seating, you can still converse and it’s quite nice. The atmosphere is great, we had a really nice time. We brought a cake and some gifts and made a bit of a mess but the staff was very kind and accommodating. They were out of scallops and the filet was just okay. Prices were extremely reasonable.

    My wife and I just found our new, favorite celebration place! Awesome food, service, and atmosphere. We will be back! Parker, our server, was the best! Super helpful and fun. Also, the flourless cake… ‘chef’s kiss’!! Update- We were back to celebrate my birthday recently and this place just gets better every time! Our server, Martin, was awesome! He was very attentive and made sure the timing for everything was perfect. I would highly recommend the seared duck breast and risotto, near perfection. We can’t say enough about this place, it is our special time together place!

    Tik Tok has done it again!!! I wasn’t planning on coming here- I didn’t even know it existed, but the person reviewing this place did a good enough job that it had my wife and I run to there and we will be running back at some point. Great aesthetics! Very cozy! Not very big- make sure you make a reservation. And service is an A++++. Our waitress Alyssa was outstanding, but the overall staff is very helpful with each other and delightful to everyone. I had the truffle fries!! A must!! Taste so different and good! Now I will say when I saw the Tik tok reviewer- they commented on the half of chicken, which is $26. I honestly thought how good can this taste? Well- let me tell you, this chicken was certainly juicy, flavorful and worthy of the attention it gets. When I come back - there are other things that look so good to attempt! Try it out! Big plus that everything is from scratch and all their ingredients and items are locally farmed.

    This place has atmosphere and great food. Top that off with excellent service and attention to detail. We had a party of 8 and we never felt rushed. Our food came out at great timing and temperature. The dessert menu was limited but that just helped keep on our diets, LOL. Will definitely visit again.

    I had a great time with a medium size group. They were able to seat 8 of us with a decent amount of space. The menu has various options including fish, steak, veggies, etc. The brussel sprouts were excellent. We split the deserts, which includes sorbet, gelato, and a chocolate flourless cake.

    Awesome little Homie Place! Loved the whole design of the restaurant, and the staff was awesome as well! Will ask for Parker again as our waitress she definitely made the experience fun! I had the Filet Mignon and was some of the best tasting Filet Mignon I ever had, and the mash potatoes with it were also very good, only thing I would say is the portion size of the food was a little small for me! Also the loaded fries were so good me and my wife literally ate them all, and for my wife to do that, that means something! Will definitely be back!!

    it was my husband and I’s first time here for our anniversary. The atmosphere was amazing! very intimate and personal. the location was beautiful, the interior was exceptional! Our server, Parker, was an A+ to the entire experience. She was attentive, hilarious, and very knowledgeable - will definitely ask her to be my server again! Now the food - im not a foodie at all but i would definitely come back here. I never say that about any restaurant, that’s how good it was! the Loaded Fries were *chefs kiss* the Pasta Sugo reminded me of my moms pasta and she makes a mean pasta… and dessert was the caramel sorbet and it was so yummy and light!! definitely will be back (:

    Town Hall in San Marco is a gem in the culinary landscape of the city. The ambiance is a blend of sophistication and comfort, creating the perfect setting for any occasion. The service is impeccable, with staff who not only know the menu inside and out but also anticipate your needs effortlessly. When it comes to the food, it's a harmonious fusion of traditional and modern flavors, all executed to perfection. Whether you're enjoying a casual dinner or celebrating a special event, Town Hall offers an unforgettable dining experience. Highly recommend! A+++

    Excellent food, fun/trendy location in Jacksonville. Great little spot to eat dinner and grab a cocktail, wine or beer. The menu is always changing and features unique but tasty choices. There always seems to be one or two excellent vegetarian dishes as well. It is on the small side and somewhat loud so if you are looking for a fun social dinner its great, if you are looking for a quiet intimate dinner this is not the place. Town Hall is located in trendy San Marco and there are plenty of bars, ice cream and shops in walking distance and the whole area has a great vibe.

    Came to this place for a date night with my boyfriend. It’s cozy and intimate and we loved the vibe in the restaurant. We both ordered cocktails “strawberry fields” and “rays and waves” which were both excellent! The food was overall delicious as well. We had the charcuterie board with 2 options (prosciutto and marinated feta) which was delicious! The crispy Brussels sprouts were also amazing and possibly one of the best that we have tried in Jax. The meal fell flat though with the seared duck breast, which we shared. I personally love duck a lot, but this one was not very tender. The description also stated it came with corn and tomato risotto and some Datil pepper honey, but the “risotto” texture was pretty much regular rice with sauce, instead of the creamy soft texture that you would normally expect. We also could not taste any of the pepper honey. Overall the dish was kind of flavorless and disappointing, especially for a $38 plate. I recommend getting something else. In the end, we enjoyed the place. My rating is 4.2 and his is 3.8, and the duck dish is our only complaint.

    Tried this restaurant and was very impressed. Sat at the bar and felt like I was having a meal at a friend's house....very intimate. The octopus and brussel sprouts were fantastic. Excellent cocktails...this is a must visit.

    Really cool atmosphere, very friendly service and the food is delicious interesting and unique, we ordered all appetizers each of which seemed crafted with a creative flair unique to this boutique eatery.

    A very sleek modern San Marco restaurant. Food is excellent. A quick tip, if you are offered "the special" ask the price. I didn't and got some very blah lion fish. The accompanying veggies were great but not worth being one of the most expensive items on the menu. If you are a wine lover definitely check this place out!

  • 5/5 Kyle C. 1 year ago on Google
    Damn good food! Town Hall was a stop with some friends after catching a movie, and it did not disappoint. We started with a charcuterie board, which I highly recommend, and it was amazing. Enjoyed a nice bottle of wine, great service from Patrick, and a great dinner of their house-made pasta. If you're in the area, you have to stop in for a great night.

    Absolutely delicious!! Biscuit with sausage gravy. I added a fried chicken breast and an egg. Service was great! This is a frequent brunch spot for me and my friends! Highly recommended.

    We are excited to return to try out brunch! Fantastic food and great service. Stopped here for early dinner otw to a concert. Told the waiter we needed to get in and out to make the concert. We were done with drinks, dinner, and check within 30-45 minutes tops. My mom had the pasta and I had the 4 oz (perfectly cooked) filet. We both finished our plates everything on our plates because it tasted so good. My steak was tender and as a truffle lover.. the butter sauce for the top was just right. The steak had a perfect crust on it too. Go.. experience... enjoy!

    We came here for dinner before a concert. The ambiance is great, and the staff was friendly. The food is delicious yet expensive. The cocktails were delicious. We started with the cocktails. We tried Midsummer Nights and it was delicious. Not too sweet, which I prefer. Crispy Brussels sprouts as an appetizer. This was very tasty. It has bacon and feta cheese. Then we had filet. We requested medium well and received medium rare, but it was still good. We also had the hand made pasta with beef and pork sugo. It was acceptable, but pricey. If you’re on a tight budget, I recommend sharing a main dish because there’s plenty of food for two.

    I came here a couple years ago for Mother's Day and haven't stopped thinking about it since. Alas, life gets in the way and ya know, so many other restaurants pop up to check out. Anyway, I finally had a reason to go back. And it was just as great as the first time. Praise be! We sat at the bar this time and our bartender was awesome. Attentive, witty, knowledgeable. Everything you'd want in a bartender really. Our mimosas were filled to the brim, literally. My friend kept saying the line between the edge of the cup and the mimosa was as thin as her patience, haha. She wasn't wrong! The atmosphere is great. Bright, bougie, beautiful. All of the decor is stunning. And while the space is small it still feels roomy. Now the food. We went for brunch, and I started with the biscuit. Cooked perfectly, fluffy but dense, crunchy outside but soft inside. Just the way a biscuit should be. And the raspberry jam it came with was wonderful. Sweet and tart, paired perfectly with the butter. For an entrée I got the breakfast bowl. They had me at pimento grits, but then added sausage, bacon, eggs, and more cheese to top it off. A true breakfast gem. Honestly. I was like oh, this is too much food, I'll have to bring it home to my husband, and then proceeded to finish it and tried to lick the rest of those cheese grits from my spoon. Overall, we clearly had a terrible time.... I kid. I kid. 10/10 would recommend! Hopefully it's not another few years before we make it back.

    Great local place! The food was very good. Unique ways of doing everyday food. The Brussel sprouts with a little hint of pepper jelly drizzled on them and a bit of blue cheese crumbles. The red potatoes were scrumptuous, cooked in garlic confit, and smashed.the homemade pasta Cappella SUGO was very good as well!!

  • 5/5 Nina V. 1 year ago on Google
    When I first walked in I worried about where we would sit. We were led to the dining area way at the back close to the kitchen. Thank goodness for the skylights that made brunch cheery and joyful. The brunch cocktails were fruity leaning. We had the Bellini which we confirmed uses actual peach purée vs. schnapps or syrup. The smoked salmon egg salad toast delivered on their truffledness and the bread looked like you would require some considerable mastication but it was surprisingly crunchy AND light. The brussel sprouts were tasty but a little too rich /sweet in the last spooned servings. The crab cake Benedict was delicious. Service was a 5. Ambience a 5. Food a 4.5.
