While seeking an exceptional dining destination in San Marco for dinner this evening, I selected Town Hall, and it proved to be a thoroughly marvelous decision! Arrival was effortless, as the parking options outside the venue are remarkably convenient. Stepping inside, I was immediately struck by the pristine cleanliness of both the interior and exterior spaces. The decor is wonderfully stylish, featuring a lovely variety of private seating options that set a warm, serene, and sophisticated atmosphere. The service was top-tier from start to finish. My server, Patrick, was extraordinarily gracious, polite, and attentive, ensuring every detail of the evening was handled with complete care. To begin, I ordered the Dayspring Martini, which was expertly mixed, brilliantly balanced, and utterly refreshing. For my main course, I selected the house-made pasta. When it arrived, it was an absolute culinary triumph cooked to absolute perfection, rich with authentic flavor, and deeply satisfying. Between the spotless ambiance, chic interior design, divine cuisine, and Patrick's stellar hospitality, Town Hall earns full marks from me. A thoroughly marvelous experience I shall most certainly be returning read more

Absolutely love the warm and inviting ambiance at Town Hall. Starting with the decor and enhanced by the staff. We came in for dinner with a party of 4 and were sat at bar top. Right away our server greeted us and answered all our questions about the menu. I was having trouble deciding on a Sauvignon Blanc and he brought me some samples to choose from. We started with the Pepper Crusted Ahi Tuna and Sweet Pea Hummus. Both delectable, but the Ahi Tuna was the clear winner. So fresh and melted like butter in your mouth. For my entree I went with the Seared Scallops. I went with the larger order of and I'm glad because the they were not as large as we thought. They were good, but I was expecting them to be not as chewy as they were. We ended a brownie that had popcorn on it. We really wanted the cheesecake, but they were out. The brownie was good just the popcorn may throw you off if texture is important to you. It was warm and gooey yummy. Overall a wonderful spot to visit and they also have patio seating. read more

Our first time here and we will be back! Made reservations to sit at the bar. There was plenty of room and our server was very knowledgeable about the menu. We started with drinks and the Brussel sprouts. Served roasted with bacon, blue cheese and a balsamic glaze. Huge portion so we had leftovers. I had the scallops which were served with fingerling potatoes and a pea hummus. Delicious! My husband had the fresh catch which was a black cod served with Israeli cous cous and tzatziki sauce. Again delicious! Dessert for me was Affogato and my husband had the basil lemon Creme brûlée. Oh my! read more

Beautiful restaurant with amazing service. I made reservations and arrived on time. We were seated right away towards the kitchen area. Tables are pretty close together so plan on hearing and being heard. There was a wine tasting for $20 so we chose to participate. We tried 4 wines and were properly informed by staff. For food I chose the mussels for my appetizer. It was completely different than any mussels I've ordered before as they were de shelled and placed on top of toast with the Diavolo sauce on top, still good though. My entree was the scallops, I asked for a dark sear but unfortunately I didn't get that. They were still tasty though. I would definitely dine here again. The cheesecake was delicious! read more

Came here tonight for a date night with my fiance with big expectations but unfortunately the weren't met :( When we entered the service was prompt and the atmosphere was great! The overall restaurant looked clean and great for a date night. We weren't feeling too hungry so we ordered the following based on the waitress and our friend's recommendations: 1) Crispy Brussels sprouts 2) Duck Fat Corn Bread 3) House made pasta + sugo The crispy brussels sprouts were a bit undercooked and lacked flavor but if you prefer a less crispy Brussel sprout dish I would recommend it over the duck fat corn bread. The duck fat corn bread was disappointing. It was an odd combination of flavors that did not mix very well. The corn bread was mushy and the crisp Napa cabbage with the random ranch/spicy sauce combo did not pair well and left my mouth feeling confused. I had high expectations for their house made pasta as they had a pasta maker out for viewing. The pasta was overcooked and every bite was an interesting mix of flavors...some bites salty...some bites unseasoned. There was barely any meat present and overall we ended up not finishing our meal and wrapping up the night. The only good thing we had was the homemade soda that I did not get a picture of but I believe was the hibiscus one. Overall I would recommend this place for drinks but not dinner. read more

Celebrated a birthday dinner here with my wife on a Friday night. The place was packed! 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. read more

The food is always 10/10 at town hall! Came here to celebrate my sister's birthday and had to wait awhile before someone came to take order, but the waitress was super knowledgeable and so helpful. The space is nice but a bit loud, felt like we had to talk really loud just to hear each other. The drinks are amazing (we got red wine, lemon drop martini and ghost flowers) and food was delicious (got the steak, mushroom, Brussels sprouts and octopus). The truffle flavor for the mushroom was so rich and goes so well with everything else. Overall a good experience and will definitely go back again. read more

Another home run at Town Hall in San Marco! We stopped in again and everything was perfect from start to finish. I had the Sapphire Spritz -- dangerously delicious -- and my husband ordered a Negroni. We shared the cured & aged board with prosciutto and brie, which was incredible. For our mains, I ordered the grilled cheese (so, so good!) and my husband had the half roasted chicken. Every dish was amazing, the service was awesome, and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. Town Hall never disappoints. We'll definitely be back! read more

Town Hall - Petal and thorn - New American Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

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. read more

If you visit this spot, I highly recommend requesting a table near the front, as the back seating area shares too much space with the busy kitchen.Our culinary experience started off rocky when my moms chicken dish arrived completely unseasoned. The staff handled it well, swapping it out for a pasta dish that was significantly better, while my vegetarian entree was decent. What really stood out, however, was the incredible hospitality and the bar program. Our waitress was wonderful, and the drinks were absolutely great. read more

Let me tell y'all...this food was so good! I've been thinking about going back since I walked out of the building. I would say make a reservation as it's a small intimate space but the service is A1 and the drinks were top tier. If you have a good dining budget this is a the place. I will definitely be returning soo read more

Kristin who served us and multi-tasked around the room...was fantastic! I don't know how she did it! I didn't realize happy hour prices are only at bar..now we know. An app Kristin recommended was the humus and it was great! Humus made with carrots with lots of seasoning and nuts, etc sprinkled on top then the perfectly toasted pieces of bread-I'd order that in a heart beat! Drinks were full and flavorful. Hubby order smaller steak and really loved it. I order the octopus app and I'm not sure on that one; it was soft (not like calamari) and had some arugula seasoned with it...just not so sure on it. read more

Town Hall is a restaurant led by a chef who has been nominated 2 times for a James Beard award, but on my visit, the best part of the restaurant was the service. It's possible it was an off day, but I had high expectations that were not met. Our server lauded the brussel sprouts as the best in Jacksonville, but, while there was a large portion, they were tangy with blue cheese and an odd flavor combination. We also had the seared octopus. It was not chewy (a plus), but it was bland and served with an unseasoned red tomato sauce that tasted like crushed tomatoes straight from the can. The duck fat cornbread was the only saving grace for our dinner that evening. The cornbread had a cake- like texture, although I prefer more crunchy cornbread, at least it had flavor. The coleslaw served with it was also very tasty. We chose the special for the night, a fondue with chorizo with crostini. The fondue was thin and runny. The restaurant has a modern feel and elegant ambience, I would return to sit in the bar area for a drink, but the restaurant left much to be desired, and I would not return to dine. read more

Love to eat at the bar! Great atmosphere and the food is very good. The pea hummus is so delicious and beautifully presented.

Food is always excellent and consistent. Chef Tom has curated a wonderful menu and space. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

We visited Town Hall for brunch for the first time and were absolutely impressed. From the food and drinks to the service, everything exceeded our expectations. We sat at the bar, where Patrick took great care of us. Every recommendation he made was spot-on, and the drinks he crafted were outstanding. Patrick was attentive, friendly, and welcoming, and the rest of the staff was just as wonderful. The Cuban sandwich was one of the best I've ever had, and the bananas foster bread pudding was absolutely incredible. Needless to say, we'll be back this Sunday! A 10/10 experience, and I highly recommend Town Hall to anyone looking for a great brunch spot. read more

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. read more

Love this place. Their Brussel sprouts are amazing. We enjoyed our food and staff. I always enjoy coming to San Marco.

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 read more

I am first timer here at Town Hall Jax. My friend who lives in the area introduced me to this down town location. The server was on point and courteous and friendly. The food is delicious and seasoned to taste, you have to try dish of brussels sprouts, it had a sweet and light salty flavor. The restaurant was a small but elegant place but romantic for couples to enjoy and relax with dim lighting which met our expectations. read more

We went to Town Hall for a birthday dinner. We started with the Brussels sprouts and loaded fries for the kids. They were both delicious. Definitely the best Brussels sprouts I've ever had. For the meal we had scallops, steak, lamb, salmon, and the pasta. Everything was perfectly cooked and delicious. We had an early reservation (5pm). Our server was amazing and extremely attentive. Awesome experience and highly recommend! read more

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. read more

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. read more

This place is amazing! First off, this area is so cute. Such a walkable area and pretty easy to get to. From the starters to the mains everything was wonderful. So tasty. We also had a wine tasting for $20. Yes I said that right $20. The service was amazing and the atmosphere for date night or a cozy night with friends was just right. We had the sprouts, duck fat cornbread, filet and scallops. All were so tasty and so good. I wish we had room for dessert. Definitely a new fave in JAX. read more

Great food, but disinterested server. We sat in the living room, which I do not recommend.

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. read more

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). read more

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. read more
