This place is a real gem. I wish I had found it sooner. A lot of places downtown Florence are closed on Monday's but Town Hall was open so I decided to dine in. Wonderful service, got a table right away and waiter came by immediately to take drinks and appetizer order and go over specials of the day. I liked the interior layout and that you can watch the chefs prepare entrees while you dine. That alone can be entertaining if you are dining alone. Reminded me of Ted's Montana Grill. Now for the food..., everything came out quickly. We got the deviled eggs, and New Orleans Shrimp as appetizers and the flavors were amazing. I simply had to use the corn bread to dip up the New Orleans sauce after the shrimp were gone, it was had good! After appetizers I didn't want a large meal, so I got the daily scallops special. It was just the right amount. The scallops were grilled just right, and the sauce (the sauce again!) was flavorful with a mild spice kick to it. Blueberry sorbet for dessert, locally made. Will definitely be back when my travels take me back to Florence. read more

Florence South Carolina provided a perfect Midway point while we were traveling between Washington DC and our trip back home to Florida. While staying at the Hyatt Place, we were happy to visit Town Hall restaurant which is directly diagonal across the street. The restaurant is very attractive and modern - it appears that Florence is going through somewhat of a Renaissance, and they are developing around some very nice hotels and restaurants, complemented by a small town feel. At this restaurant, there is apparently a rooftop bar/patio, we enjoyed the dining room instead. Our server, Lara quickly approached and offered drinks and some menu suggestions. We wanted to sample many things, so we ordered a number of appetizers rather than going with entrees. Some that I would highly recommend include the cornbread, the seared scallops, and the grilled chicken wings. We also enjoyed some shrimp skewers which were good / not great, and some calamari which is prepared very differently than we're accustomed to - if you do get the calamari, ask first about the preparation. This is a moderately priced restaurant, for us it was about $50 per person, you can certainly get reasonably priced entrees for less, and it may be quite a bit more for people who may be drinking. Since there is a full bar, it appeared that many tables were coming as much for the drinks as they were for the food. If you happen to be in the Florence, SC area, this is certainly a great choice with a beautiful dining area, wonderful service, great food, and a walkable and safe downtown area. read more

The ambiance was nice. The restaurant has a semi formal set up was perfect for the occasion. They accommodated a party of 15 with relatively short notice. Pricey, for subpar food. The duck was extremely salty!! I mean tasted like they don't measure and had a bad taster. It was terrible. The calamari was the tiniest and saltiest appetizer I've ever seen for $15, The catfish had a bed of extra spicy, salty rice again with the salt. The collard greens were both too salty and too sweet. Cucumber salad had an unpleasant taste. The shrimp skewers, steak, burger, truffle fries, mashed potatoes and cornbread with guava butter and were seasoned well. I ordered the $49 filet mignon and my receipt showed a $54 charge, with not 1 side. The waitress dropped the birthday cake off and kept going. I asked if they would sing happy birthday she said no and walked off, extremely cold. They made us sort the $1027 bill out among 18 people, awful experience. Almost all of the group's food needed to go back bc of the salt overload, except the burgers, shrimp and steak. Definitely won't be returning. read more

We were driving from Washington, DC to Florida and decided to stop in Florence for the night. This restaurant was right across the street from our hotel so we made an early dinner reservation. I am glad we did because it was a fantastic find. The ambiance was nice with an open airy space and plenty of spread out tables. The menu had about ten good sounding appetizers as well as about ten good sounding entrees. We decided to go with all appetizers. Our first item was the corn bread with honey butter. It was probably the best corn bread I have ever had. Next we had the scallops in a signature sauce and it was also delicious. Our third item was the chicken wing dish with various sauces, another good item. Our fourth appetizer was the grilled shrimp skewers with Carolina BBQ sauce and Cole slaw, another tasty dish. Our final dish was the calamari with Thai chili sauce. Service was friendly from our server, Lara. read more

Father's Day, empty restaurant at 5pm so you'd think they would have it together..... Not so much..... Service was good but the kitchen was terrible. 4 meals were cold. 3 okay. 1 never came. After making the waiter aware, the last meal only came after the rest of the family was done eating. When it arrived the quail was fried to death. The manager did adjust the bill accordingly, however, the experience was well below average for an upscale restaurant. We Won't be going back. read more

If you don't know what farm to table is then make sure you do your research before going to this restaurant. I chose the hamburger and didn't realize the taste would be different than a burger you would eat at a different restaurant. My date enjoyed it. He had the swordfish with lima beans and left nothing on the plate.lol. They had a diverse menu of non-alcoholic drink drinks. I had a non-alcoholic version of a tequila sunrise and my date had a mule with ginger beer. Service was great and it looks like a great place for dinner with girlfriends, date night and a nice bar for solo meal. I went to come back and eat at the chefs table where you can watch them cook. It's only available on the weekends. read more

My burger was amazing! This is not the Evans street of old that's for certain the area has certainly changed. The restaurant is nice and the cornbread and honey butter was phenomenal. I'd go just to eat that cornbread. The menu wasn't necessarily my cup of tea but what I had was great and goes to show that that there is something on the menu for everyone. Definitely more pricey than other restaurants (chain) in town but if you are looking for a more sophisticated atmosphere this is it. The service was great, quick, and attentive. read more

My first time to Florence and tried Town Hall with some friends from work. Decor is casual but has an upscale flair. There is an open kitchen design which I always appreciate. Check out pic of the beautiful bar area! We split the pickled shrimp app which had a pleasantly interesting taste. I couple of us had the bacon cheeseburger which was excellent, & I liked how you can swap out the truffle fries for variety of sides & salads for a mere $2 up charge. Also, the strategically extra-long toothpicks they add made it a breeze to cut in half - luv this! My co-worker got scallops and seemed to be happy. Nice sized draft beer list as well. Service was good. read more

I never imagined I'd find such a high-caliber restaurant here, but Town Hall exceeded every expectation. The open-fire cooking adds an incredible depth of flavor to the dishes, and the lighting creates the perfect cozy, upscale atmosphere. I had the lobster, shrimp, and truffle fries, and let me tell you... OMG. I needed to be rolled out of there after that meal--it was that GOOD. Every bite was rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. And the drinks? Perfectly crafted and hit just right. If my company ever gives me the P card again, you better believe I'll be back! Highly recommend--this spot is a gem! read more

After a long ride from Florida, we decided to make an overnight stay in Florence. One of the local shops recommended this place for dinner and boy are we glad we listened. Excellent food, had the scallop appetizer and tried the cornbread. Probably the best I've ever had. Yum. I got the filet, which was cooked to perfection. My husband's pork chop was also amazing. Desserts are made from scratch, in house, and if either of us had an inch of room, we would have tried one as they all looked amazing. Bartenders were so nice, welcoming and engaging. Our only negative is we don't live close enough. If you are ever in the area, you can't miss this one. Highly recommend! read more

I can't tell you what a wonderful experience we had. Hunter, Lara and Brett were wonderful and so fun. Made us feel special and taken care of. Food was perfect. AND Hunter smelled amazing! We'll be back often. read more

Really the best restaurant in Florence, homemade sausage is awesome. My pork chop was perfectly cooked, cowpeas were very good, have never had them. Love the bar and sitting area, has a roof deck when it's warm. Service was very good we had 16 people so they did a great job. Price is the only thing keeping it from 5 stars... read more

Love this American style restaurant with a southern flare. This is our second time there, after a long drive from Philly on our way down to South Beach. Great menu with a variety of fish, chicken and steaks. Very cool bar and specialty drinks. And they have a nice happy hour menu. Our bartender Chad prepared some delicious drinks.

Just drove in from NY. Had a great meal from appetizers to dessert...everything was delicious. Service was welcoming, polite and attentive!! Great atmosphere and lighting. Music was great. Thanks to Lara!!! read more

stayed at the Hampton Inn & used Yelp to find a restaurant opened past 10pm . Very NY style place with open concept, long wooden bar & indoor seating. It was 9:45 pm so we ordered appetizer of Scallops which were the size of pretzel nuggets with a tomatoes salad adorning it. & also a Wedge salad - both delicious . Ordered a Martini which was only 1/2 a glass- very disappointed! Do I only have 4 stars. read more

Good food and excellent service. Ambiance was what you'd associate with a venue in a warehouse, and it was noisy. Prices seemed a bit high given the locale, but the food and offerings were much better than expected. On an objective scale, it's probably a 4. read more

Wow an awesome find, friendly staff, I sat at the bar and asked if they could make a paper plane, the bartender didn't know how and attempted it, it came out pretty good for never doing one. Had wings to start, such an amazing flavor they were offering, Thai curry. Had the my strip with blue cheese and onion purée, it was cooked to perfection. I can't wait to visit town next month and bring some of my colleagues in. read more

When I called the Town Hall to make a reservation, Mandy seemed happy to schedule a reservation for myself and my friends. She sent a text to my phone so I could add to my calendar- so convenient! As time got closer, she sent a reminder text. Once at the restaurant she had created a card for our table with our names on it. This added a touch of excitement for those of us in our group and made us feel like the employees were equally excited to have us there. Mandy was just lovely! She communicated effectively, clearly and with professionalism while being personable. Brett greeted us at the door with a warm welcome and showed us to our table. He continued to come by and check on us during our stay. Anna was our waitress who was fun and delightful! Between Brett and Anna, we were made to feel right at home. Both worked hard (but made it appear easy) to make us feel like family! The food was out of this world! The chef and kitchen staff did excellent on preparing the food to perfection. The taste was amazing and the presentation was spot on. We will definitely be back and soon! read more

This place is so cool you have to at least go in it just to see the ice dropping down from the ceiling. LOL the food was okay nothing fantastic but we didn't go back to the hotel hungry. We might have to give it another shot now I'm with it read more

Dinner was amazing! We were seated immediately, according to our reservation & our order was taken quickly. We started with spirit free drinks, both were delicious. Then our server recommended the deviled eggs as a fan favorite. We obliged and were not disappointed in the taste. However, I will say, I felt our oysters were a lot smaller than some of the others we saw served at other tables, so I did feel slighted in the size of our oysters (one table had oysters that were bigger than their eggs, so yeah..). It does not take away from the flavor profile, so I can't complain about that. Anyway, my rack of lamb was delicious. I mean absolutely delicious! The coconut rice was surprisingly tasty as well. I really did not expect that! I did not like the black eyed peas that were in the rice, but I did appreciate the contrast in textures. The cabbage was perfectly seasoned as well. My husband duck had a beautifully crispy skin and delicate soft meat. It was perfection on a plate. Now, the restaurant was perfectly decorated and presented as a place of peace. The tv had a fireplace screen saver and it just made it feel so cozy. I highly recommend this place. Like I said, my only problem was my oysters were so much smaller & I'm petty, lol. But overall, delicious meal and service! Oh! Also, they truly pump the food out in a timely manner! We were in & out in about an hour & never felt rushed. read more

The first time we ate here a few years ago, it was really good. The past two or three times we've been, it's not been very good, especially given the price. I'm giving it three stars because the wait staff has always been great. This last time I ordered the salmon. It was supposed to come with farro and a dill caper burre blanc sauce. What I received was white rice with green onions. No capers or dill in the sauce and no farro. For $40 it wasn't great. It was also clearly farm raised salmon that was super fishy. This is the last time we will eat there. It's simply not worth the money. read more

This was one of the best steak house experiences we have had in a long while. The food made us feel like we were back home in the country at grandmas with the upscale presentation. The atmosphere perfect for a simple nice night out or dressy date night. The service was excellent. Shout out to Carolina and The manager Cass who made several trips to our table to check on our food and service. They were both very friendly and made us feel at home. It's worth every penny! *Make Reservations a day ahead ask for a window seat, and try the Collard Greens and Crème Brûlée. read more
