    Their fried chicken was juicy and had a great exterior but I wish the inside of the chicken was seasoned/marinated better. Once you ate that delicious skin, the inside of the chicken didn't really have much flavor. The mashed potatoes were some of the best mashed potatoes I've ever had. Super smooth and flavorful! Their biscuits were so delicious, crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. The broccoli w/ cheese was good, it tasted like how I would expect it to taste like! Not too much of a wow factor there. We also got two cocktails and they were delish, it was a great compliment to the meal. We sat outside on the patio, it was really secluded and had a great vibe to it. The servers were attentive and they even offered to pack our food for us instead of giving us to go boxes!

    Our group made an appointment to visit Town Hall. I had never heard of this place before but a foodie in our group said pre covid, it was really difficult to get in. First, I love the atmosphere. It's in a beautiful brick building and the lighting creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. Although there is a second floor, we were told that it was closed for the time being, so we sat on the first floor. I appreciated that tables/seating had been removed to practice covid guidelines, which I appreciated. We ordered a handful of appetizers- everything from okra, pork belly, pig ears, cornbread, salad, and more! My favorite appetizer was probably the cornbread. For my entree, I ordered their fried chicken. They gave a generous portion. We also split a dessert which I believe was a butterscotch pudding. It was really sweet, so it's best to share unless you have a sweet tooth. Their service was also great. Overall, glad I got to try a new place.

    I really enjoyed this place. I have been coming to this place for years. I visited this place the first time since the pandemic ended. It has not changed. Their fried chicken is amazing. Also their butterscotch pudding is decadent. The restaurant serves southern style cuisine. Everything on the menu looks good and tastes good. The customer is service is good and friendly.

    Chicken and waffles

    This place was just OK. Went for brunch with a group of 6. We sat outside on their patio. If did not seem to be incredibly busy. We ordered wine, beer, and a Bloody Mary to drink. Take note there is no beer on tap, all bottles. The Bloody Mary (mine) was pretty basic and tasted a little watered down. For the food, we ordered a bunch of chicken waffles, a Benedict, cornbread, and a side of jambalaya (?). The food took forever to come out. However, everyone enjoyed the chicken and waffles. I wish it would come with some syrup, and I would have asked but no one came to check on us after the food was served. The cornbread was in a skillet and also very tasty. Our waitress finally came out to bring us the check. We then asked if we could split the check into 3 (for each couple) and she appeared very annoyed. When she finally came back she said she couldn't do it since she had already printed the check and "had she known" she could have separated the checks ahead of time. Unfortunately we didn't know that the next time we saw our server after ordering was when she brought us the check. So my advice is to tell the server when you're ordering. Overall, good food, but poor service left a bad taste in our mouths.

    Super friendly staff with a great menu. They serve what's in season and locally fresh. I had the okra fries, butternut squash empanadas and gnocchi. All three were delicious! The drinks are flavorful and made well here. I'd return because the staff was outstanding and made you feel welcome.

    Fried okra with a cilantro sauce

    Came by here the other day for happy hour. Great selections for good and drink. We prefer the wings, fried okra, pimento cheese, and buttermilk biscuits. Wow! Super tasty and perfect portion for sharing. I'll definitely come back again and bring others. Looks like their dinner menu has lots more delicious options that I can't wait to try. The service was great and very attentive.

    Beef Short ribs
    Sherri M.

    I ordered the Beef short ribs (so tender!) and my husband had the pork chop. Both were delicious!!!!! We started off with the deep fried okra which I've never had they were crunchy and just the right amount of salty. The service was very good, and people were friendly and attentive. My sister-in-law had the fried chicken, which she shared a little bit with us and it was quite delicious. We would definitely come back. We live in the East Bay - BART getting off at the Embarcadero exit is definitely the way to go for us. It was only a very short six minute walk.

    Came here for dinner since my husband was craving chicken and waffles The restaurant was super festive for the holidays, very cute. Our hostess was very engaging and bubbly! Sat us at a corner table away from noisy bar area which was nice. The menu had lots of good options! I went for the ribs and we split the butter lettuce salad. I think we both really enjoyed the salad. The dressing was tasty and the lettuce was crispy with a nice little sweet crunch from the nuts. The ribs were yum. I was very happy with my decision and got to taste the chicken and waffles, also very good! Solid restaurant in the downtown area!

    I thought I loved the chicken sandwich here but during my most recent visit, I was pretty disappointed. This is my second time here and both times I have ordered the fried chicken sandwich. The first time I came here, I thought it was decent-- I thought it was even on my top list of fried chicken sandwiches place to go. But the second time (most recent visit), the friend chicken was not hot and fresh and it had a weird unfamiliar taste to me. I don't know why but it tasted as if something was either spoiled or I was just straight up not used to the seasoning. Other than that, the starters were good, especially the okra! The cornbread was pretty decent as well. As always, service was superb. It's just with all the food options around me, I would not purposely go out of my way to come back here.

    Town Hall's Famous Fried Chicken, Buttermilk Biscuits, Ham Flight

    Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 -- Adjustments to net score: None Net score: 5/5 TLDR: A true pleasure of a place serving delectable comfort food. I am still dreaming about the chicken and biscuits. Ordered: - Chicken wings (5/5) - amazing chicken wings, possibly the best I've ever had the pleasure of eating. Great crunch, meat comes off so easily from the bone, and the mashed potatoes that come with it are seriously sinful. - Ham flight (4/5) - Ham flight with different aged pieces was good, but nothing earth shattering. The buttermilk biscuits (5/5) that came with it though were out of this world - they were soft and buttery and I devoured the entire basket. The accompanying butter and pepper jelly made this perfect. Skip the ham flight, order the biscuits as a side. Service: - So friendly and so quick! Checked in very frequently. Dog friendly: Yes! - Outdoor covered patio, very spacious - Server brought water for our pup

    When we sat down for this meal I was expecting to be giving around three stars... we were outside in an area alone and the wait staff had seemed to forget us (or was super busy which is also likely.) Needless to say, I absolutely loved this meal and the service quickly redeemed itself! Our drinks came out almost instantly, served by whom I imagine is the manager. She was cheerful, pleasant, and attentive. She then had the staff move a second heater over to our table without us asking - and this level of consideration was perhaps my favorite part of the night! (Also, the hostess brought over water for our dogs without us asking which was lovely.) The food was delicious. We ordered the corn soup, the shrimp, the jalapeño cornbread, the jambalaya, and the collard greens. Along with two hot toddies that warmed us up! The flavors of each item were wonderful. I don't think I could pick my favorite dish, I could pick my least favorite which were the collard greens, but they were still pretty darn good! If I had to suggest you get three of the five we ordered, I would highly recommend the corn soup and the shrimp, and then tell you to get the jalapeño cornbread to dip in both the soup and the sauce of the shrimp dish. I think the portion sizes were fair given pricing, and was even surprised with how large the side orders of Jambalaya and collard greens were. I would definitely come back!

    We recently had a work lunch at Town Hall, and I was pretty excited - I had never been and had heard great things. We had a reservation for 12 people at 12:30pm on a Wednesday - we arrived on time were seated promptly. We ordered some appetizers while deciding on our entrees: - Jalapeño corn bread - Crispy fried okra - Buttermilk biscuits - Beet salad - Tuna tartare All of the appetizers were pretty good, but the corn bread was the clear winner - warm, sweet, and spicy! For my main, I ordered the burger with cheddar cheese and a side of fries. The food took awhile to come out, and my burger was a bit over cooked. It still tasted good, and the side of fries were plentiful - so pretty much a win in my book! Finally for dessert, we ordered a few slices of chocolate cake and ice cream for the table to share. It was good, but a pretty standard slice of cake. Overall, I wasn't disappointed or impressed - it was a decent meal, and I probably would opt for something else if the choice was mine, but I wouldn't complain if somebody else chose to go here again.

    Carolina Pulled Pork Sandwich
    Scot M.

    My first time here. I ordered the Carolina Pulled Pork Sandwich. You pick up your Ritual (Ritual App) order outside, so it's nice...no lines. There is a restaurant but I didn't get inside. I think I would like to do that. I need to try it. The sandwich was very tasty and had a lot of flavor. The addition of extra sauce and coke slaw was great. I will be back.

You get perks as a thank-you for doing your part in making the City a cleaner place. We had just had a lovely time at another participating business (Beehive) and planned on Arcana being our final stop. Thankfully I was able to use the restroom without a fee, with my gear held up outside by the security team. While waiting in the restroom line, I told a staff member about all this, and the worker seemingly went up to the front to find out what's going on. The line took a few minutes, my friends also bumped into me, and I told them I'd likely wait for them outside the business post-restroom while they finished their wine. Already reported to the Mayor's Office. Maybe I'll add BBB. Should be honest and equitable! Four out of 200+ reviews by me have been one star, so I rarely share negativity. It's all rather unfortunate as other visits here went off without an issue. I warned a group of four about all this while I waited out front, and after talking to the front door folks, they left and thanked me for the advice. Please be careful if you visit here. . . .

We stopped in over Labor Day weekend and I was actually surprised by how quiet it was, which made it a nice place to sit and enjoy a glass without feeling crowded or rushed. Where they lost me was the wine pricing. The by-the-glass prices are pretty steep, with most around $16-$20 and Champagne at $25. I'm completely fine paying more at a wine bar for the atmosphere, service, and experience, but knowing what some of these bottles actually retail for, the markup felt excessive for what was being poured. They do offer a full food menu and some of it sounds interesting, but I wasn't impressed enough with the wine experience or value to want to stay and try the food, so I can't speak to that. I'm glad I finally checked Frenchie out after seeing it online so much. It's a cute space and I can see the appeal, but for me the value just isn't there at these prices
