    Florence South Carolina provided a perfect Midway point while we were traveling between Washington DC and our trip back home to Florida. While staying at the Hyatt Place, we were happy to visit Town Hall restaurant which is directly diagonal across the street. The restaurant is very attractive and modern - it appears that Florence is going through somewhat of a Renaissance, and they are developing around some very nice hotels and restaurants, complemented by a small town feel. At this restaurant, there is apparently a rooftop bar/patio, we enjoyed the dining room instead. Our server, Lara quickly approached and offered drinks and some menu suggestions. We wanted to sample many things, so we ordered a number of appetizers rather than going with entrees. Some that I would highly recommend include the cornbread, the seared scallops, and the grilled chicken wings. We also enjoyed some shrimp skewers which were good / not great, and some calamari which is prepared very differently than we're accustomed to - if you do get the calamari, ask first about the preparation. This is a moderately priced restaurant, for us it was about $50 per person, you can certainly get reasonably priced entrees for less, and it may be quite a bit more for people who may be drinking. Since there is a full bar, it appeared that many tables were coming as much for the drinks as they were for the food. If you happen to be in the Florence, SC area, this is certainly a great choice with a beautiful dining area, wonderful service, great food, and a walkable and safe downtown area.

    We were driving from Washington, DC to Florida and decided to stop in Florence for the night. This restaurant was right across the street from our hotel so we made an early dinner reservation. I am glad we did because it was a fantastic find. The ambiance was nice with an open airy space and plenty of spread out tables. The menu had about ten good sounding appetizers as well as about ten good sounding entrees. We decided to go with all appetizers. Our first item was the corn bread with honey butter. It was probably the best corn bread I have ever had. Next we had the scallops in a signature sauce and it was also delicious. Our third item was the chicken wing dish with various sauces, another good item. Our fourth appetizer was the grilled shrimp skewers with Carolina BBQ sauce and Cole slaw, another tasty dish. Our final dish was the calamari with Thai chili sauce. Service was friendly from our server, Lara.

    Extremely gross amount of salt in duck
    Barbara G.

    The ambiance was nice. The restaurant has a semi formal set up was perfect for the occasion. They accommodated a party of 15 with relatively short notice. Pricey, for subpar food. The duck was extremely salty!! I mean tasted like they don't measure and had a bad taster. It was terrible. The calamari was the tiniest and saltiest appetizer I've ever seen for $15, The catfish had a bed of extra spicy, salty rice again with the salt. The collard greens were both too salty and too sweet. Cucumber salad had an unpleasant taste. The shrimp skewers, steak, burger, truffle fries, mashed potatoes and cornbread with guava butter and were seasoned well. I ordered the $49 filet mignon and my receipt showed a $54 charge, with not 1 side. The waitress dropped the birthday cake off and kept going. I asked if they would sing happy birthday she said no and walked off, extremely cold. They made us sort the $1027 bill out among 18 people, awful experience. Almost all of the group's food needed to go back bc of the salt overload, except the burgers, shrimp and steak. Definitely won't be returning.

    Grilled Fish: swordfish with lima beans
    Kay T.

    If you don't know what farm to table is then make sure you do your research before going to this restaurant. I chose the hamburger and didn't realize the taste would be different than a burger you would eat at a different restaurant. My date enjoyed it. He had the swordfish with lima beans and left nothing on the plate.lol. They had a diverse menu of non-alcoholic drink drinks. I had a non-alcoholic version of a tequila sunrise and my date had a mule with ginger beer. Service was great and it looks like a great place for dinner with girlfriends, date night and a nice bar for solo meal. I went to come back and eat at the chefs table where you can watch them cook. It's only available on the weekends.

    Wedge Salad
    Nancy S.

    Great place! The wedge salad was delicious with the best tomatoes I've ever had- they were super sweet and fresh. The town hall burger was huge and I was only able to eat half. Really tasty and great paired with the fries. Service was great and staff very friendly. Would definitely return

    Drink menu

    My burger was amazing! This is not the Evans street of old that's for certain the area has certainly changed. The restaurant is nice and the cornbread and honey butter was phenomenal. I'd go just to eat that cornbread. The menu wasn't necessarily my cup of tea but what I had was great and goes to show that that there is something on the menu for everyone. Definitely more pricey than other restaurants (chain) in town but if you are looking for a more sophisticated atmosphere this is it. The service was great, quick, and attentive.

    I never imagined I'd find such a high-caliber restaurant here, but Town Hall exceeded every expectation. The open-fire cooking adds an incredible depth of flavor to the dishes, and the lighting creates the perfect cozy, upscale atmosphere. I had the lobster, shrimp, and truffle fries, and let me tell you... OMG. I needed to be rolled out of there after that meal--it was that GOOD. Every bite was rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. And the drinks? Perfectly crafted and hit just right. If my company ever gives me the P card again, you better believe I'll be back! Highly recommend--this spot is a gem!

    Pineapple mule with vodka
    Tony M.

    Yes yes yes It's an experience .. from the smile of our waitress to the promise of getting us small plates and drinks before a play ... we needed something light and quick she came thru. My scallops were like one other I've tried.. and the pineapple mule with vodka was perfect start

    Lane is a fantastic waiter so attentive to every detail! Run don't walk to town hall!!

Only $7 to taste multiple wines (which change week to week), and you don't have to wait a month for the next 'wine tasting'. Grotto has an actual tasting bar, plus an option to order a plate of exotic salami and cheeses which can't be bought locally. This gives Grotto a huge advantage over Mickey Fins which is set up like the inside of a gas station. Mickey fins has competitive pricing, and a very large selection, but does not do daily tastings, nor do they have a bar/sit down area. Both know their wines well, both have been friendly and helpful.

It's the work of chef Elliott Moss, a Florence native who spent two decades building his reputation in Asheville, where he earned James Beard nominations for Best Chef Southeast in 2013 at The Admiral and again in 2017 as co-owner and pitmaster of Buxton Hall Barbecue. He came home to open this place with local partners Tim Norwood and Cooper Thomas. He's since also been recognized by Southern Living for the Florence spot. The whole hog is smoked over pecan wood in a custom pit right beside the dining room, sourced from local pasture-raised hogs. I had the giant pit-smoked pork steak -- slow-smoked, vinegar-pepper mopped, excellent. Sides were the BBQ hash and rice and the collard greens; the rice and mushroom gravy is also worth getting. Being attached to Seminar Brewing means a full lineup of house beers on tap alongside the barbecue. There are pool tables in the lounge for hanging out after eating, and soft serve ice cream to close things out. A serious pedigree behind the pit, backed up by the food -- whole hog barbecue, a working brewery, and a laid-back lounge setup all in one place.
