Restaurants near Hamer Hall

We had reservations for 7pm showed up at 645 and was seated right away. Atmosphere was great. Service was good, food comes out quick which isn’t a bad thing but would enjoyed it a little spread out.. Food was fantastic best steak I have had in a while, highly recommend!

We have enjoyed Elliotts for years BUT- the new menu….OUTSTANDING! Already booked to go back over the Holidays. The Short Rib Risoto was delicious. The portions are generous..Our server, MacKenzie, always makes the evening extra special and the whole staff is top notch. Great evening..

This isn't my first Ashtens review and it won't be my last. We are regulars who bring out of town guests here every opportunity we have. We also go with local friends and it's even our favorite date night place! Gracie was our server tonight. She is an exceptional server and is just the sweetest thing ever! We ate our usual - Ashtens salad, Verlasso Salmon, and Crispy Duck. Our food was prepared perfectly - something we never question when coming here. You guys never disappoint! Kudos Ashtens! We love your restaurant, the staff is warm and welcoming, and we'll see you again soon! Lori & Steve

Town Hall has really upped its game! I loved it when it first opened with Chef Bobby and even celebrated my 60th birthday in the back room!Unfortunately, when Bobby left, the menu became a bit stagnant. We moved to Austin TX which is a major foodie city. We still maintain a home in Florence but we make only infrequent visits. When we are in Florence, we generally go to Town Hall and consider it the best in Florence. Last night, we celebrated my sister’s 67th birthday and I was thrilled with the menu and the dinner would rival some of my favs in Austin‼️. We actually asked if it was a new chef and waiter, Nathon, told us that it is the same chef but there is a new manager who encourages a more “foodie” menu. My niece enjoyed her steak; it was perfectly grilled! The birthday girl loved the complimentary mussels and her duck entree was truly amazing. My mom loved the salmon which was also grilled to her request for medium. I enjoyed Shrimp and Grits but it was a bit bland—might check with Dale Barth for his spice mix—that said my plate was empty! The whole evening was perfect! The card, gift, and we loved the “reserved” frame for Roxanne’s Birthday Celebration. I used to drink Turley Zin at Town Hall which is no longer on the wine list. Nathon’s checked with the bar and brought me a taste of “by-the-glass” wine and brought out the Cab Franc which is only by the bottle. We tasted it and loved it. I took a pic of the bottle and will try to get some! We had a two year old and the coloring book and crayons to entertain her. Nathon’s wisely brought her burger and fries while we enjoyed appetizers/salads. The ensuing wait between appetizers and the entree was my only non-rave; it was a bit long but that only means there is a small opportunity to continuously improve. Thank you!!!
