Description & Atmosphere
Look for the large rustic brick building with red awnings on Howard Street, in San Francisco's popular SOMA district.

Hot SF Restaurant
We were wondering whether
Town Hall — one of the city's hottest new restaurants —
would live up to its reputation.
It did...and then some!

Town Hall's dining room really has a buzz to it, especially at night

Inside Town Hall's 110-seat restaurant

The 110-seat restaurant, with
its exposed brick, high ceilings, paneled windows, and stunning chandeliers, gives it a distinct
East Coast feel. Add to that a
fun "West Coast buzz" and
amazing food and it's easy to
see why Town Hall has such a following among foodies.

This is a fun destination for a romantic dinner, to celebrate a special event or to entertain VIP clients and out-of-town guests.

Food
Town Hall's frequently changing menu offers diners an eclectic
array of regional American cuisine — and an impressive wine list.

Depending on the season, our appetizer picks include the tasty
Heirloom Tomato Salad with organic watercress, rustic breadcrumbs and garlic buttermilk dressing.

And Faith's Warm Ham and Cheese Toast with poached egg and jalapeno cream actually tastes much better than it sounds —
you may want to split this appetizer because it's very rich...but in a good way!

Slow-Roasted Duck — WOW!
If you like duck, be sure to order Town Hall's Slow-Roasted Duck with toasted wild rice — the combination of tender duck, crispy skin, spiced dates, pecans and sweet gingersnap gravy makes this the best duck combo we've ever tasted...bar none.

Equally impressive is the Duo of Niman Ranch Lamb with goat cheese potato gratin, eggplant puree and nicoise olive Madeira sauce. Other menu offerings include everything from Dayboat Scallops, Alaskan Halibut and Roasted Trout, to Pork Chops, Rib-Eye Steak, Risotto and Buttermilk Fried Chicken.

Desserts include Strawberry Shortcake, Apricot Melba Pound Cake, Plum Jelly Doughnuts, Butterscotch & Chocolate Pot
de Creme — and what Town Hall boasts is " San Francisco's Best Cup of Hot Chocolate."
