Reservations (OpenTable.com)
Named after a famous pub in the UK, the folks from Town Hall have certainly upscaled the pub with Town hall. Housed in wonderfully restored old publishing house featuring the original brick, wood floors and metal and wood beams, it's a warm and inviting environment.
The food is a great mix of casual style French and California cuisine...you must start with the Canadian styled Poutine which is potato wedges fried and covered with fontina and an rich beef gravy. Also had a wonderful Monk fish with Chard and braised Ox sauce, amazing Winter Squash soup with sage oil, and Pork Belly with Poached Egg on a mixed salad...overall each dish was very well balanced and creative "warm" flavors you won't typically find at restaurants in San Francisco. Very creative wine list, we had the Royal Tokaji from Hungary, a nice change.
Most recent trip, I went the shellfish route, SH has an excellent selection of very fresh oysters. Also had the baked oysters which were good, but not great. Started with a white bean soup topped with pesto which was wonderful and very well balanced. The dungeness crab salad has an amazingly fresh appeal and is drenched in a great olive oil dressing. The foie gras torchon was quite good quality and matched with an excellent apricot reduction.
Service was extraordinary, rare for a new restaurant to be this well tuned. Very catering as well to my young daughter who joined, made us feel at home.
