I really wanted to like this place. No, I really wanted to LOVE this place as it came highly recommended by my boyfriend who said he ate the best pork chop of his life here ( and he doesn't like pork).
The decor is nice, the vibe is great and the service is good. So no complaints there.
The low rating comes from the fact that my pork chop was completely over-salted. I like salty food but I stopped eating after 3 bites and downed a half litre of water (no exagerration) in 30 mins. I should have had my order re-made but I didn't want to be a pain ( I know, it's silly that I didn't want to be a pain and here I am complaining!) It's too bad bc I could tell that underneath all that salt, the flavours were amazing. Also, having read the reviews on Citysearch, there seems to be a large number of ppl who have had the same issue. I wish someone in their kitchen would read the reviews and remedy this.
Had the key lime pie for dessert and it was alright if not a bit too sweet but maybe that's only bc the main was too salty.
Will go back and order the pork chop again and hope for better luck ( I'll probably place the order with an "easy salt" request!)
Pros: Atmosphere
Cons: The side of salt that they serve on the already salty food!

First time at Town Hall for my wife and myself:
Two cons: 1) one main course (with curry sauce) was unbearably salty; 2) the waiter came with an attitude that may be suitable for a Castro night club, but decisively not for a heterogeneous clientele.
Minor con: noisy (lots of crammed up loud "fairly-elegantly-dressed" people).
Two pros: 1) Food (Appetizers were fine; chocolate dessert was overall good: bottom crust was lousy; 2) white fish with asparagus sauce was very tender and not too salty); 2) bus-boy (Mexican young man) was friendly and professional (unlike the African-American waiter).
We rate the restaurant low for the unpleasant service (although a couple of other lady waiters came across as professional) and the unbearably salty dish. When spending $100 for two (plus tip) we ask for a far better service without risk of an unexcused flop on a main course.
Question: With all the unemployed people around, why don't they find better waiters?
Suggestion: Replace snotty waiter with bus-boy.
Pros: Fine Appetizers
Cons: Salty food and poor waiter (others seem fine)

Went there for dessert and a glass of wine. The mint ice cream was good but the chocolate cake was very dry.
I don't understand why citysearch is making me write a review that is longer than 100 characters or why they won't let me delete this. Annoying.
Pros: Example: best croissants in town
Cons: What are the drawbacks?

We had a wonderful meal at Town Hall with some exceptional wine. Our server was obviously new to the industry, but her sweetness made up for it. Enjoyed greatly!

Very good service, food was good, price was a little too high.
I would recommend it only for special occasions.

Family came in from out of town and picked Town Hall for a dining spot. I can say that none of us were disappointed. Our reservations were for 8:30pm on a Thursday evening. We were promptly seated and were wonderfully attended to by the staff. One nice thing about our experience is that we never felt hurried. We enjoyed our cocktail and were allowed to catch up with each other and choose our dinner at our own pace. We had oysters and salads for starters....no complaints. We moved on the the Buttermilk Fried Chicken, Risotto and a Rib Eye Steak. We also added a couple of bottles of the Meritage Ramey Claret to round out our dinner. I think the words to describe our meals were, "fantastic", great flavors, "good portions". The bottom line was that there wasn't a complaint to be heard. The servers were attentive without being overbearing. We even had a celebrity sighting. Jacques Pepin the well known chef was dining just behind us. That says something about Town Hall.
