The ocean, St. Johns River, and numerous lakes and smaller rivers teem with fish, and so, naturally, seafood dominates local menus. Northeast Florida also has fine-dining restaurants, and its ethnic eateries include some excellent Middle Eastern places. And then there are the barbecue joints—more of them than you can shake a hickory chip at.
If you want fresh fish, this is the place. Owners Bill and Ann Pinner have lots of local street cred, and there are plenty of offerings for meat lovers in the family, too. Options include perfectly blended crab cakes, oh-so-lightly fried Mayport shrimp (never a heavy batter that might cover up the flavor), seafood salads, and delicious sides.
Award-winning chef Tom Gray uses seasonal ingredients from local farms and other small purveyors to create dishes such as seared octopus, cauliflower steak, and homemade pastas. Set in the historic San Marco neighborhood, Town Hall also has a thriving happy hour, with patrons enjoying creative cocktails or a selection from the large roster of wines and local brews in one of three distinct areas: the comfy lounge, the bar, or the intimate dining room.
