Hands Up for "Town Hall"

C Says...

After a brief hiatus/August recess, we were back to our monthly dining, reviewing, and gab festing. Town Hall was a lovely choice for our September dinner. Located in Glover Park, the restaurant boasts a lovely neighborhood feel without a line out the door (of course this could be because it was a Monday night).

I selected the pork chop with goat [cheese] mac and cheese and sauteed apples, and the dish didn't disappoint. The pork chop was cooked to perfection with a lovely crust and the flavors were heightened with the apples. The mac and cheese was wonderfully prepared and left me wanting more. I didn't quite clean my plate, but it was close. The bread pudding we split for dessert was nice as well, and I'm not big on desserts.

If you're looking for a nice, understated, big on comfort food restaurant, Town Hall may be the choice for you.

J Says...

In honor of the excitement of the August month at town halls across America (re: healthcare reform), I decided it was oh-so-fitting to go to DC's version of Town Hall for our return dinner. Unlike the excitement seen on cable news, this Town Hall was civil and stylish.

I started with the ravioli stuffed with portabella mushroom and spinach. Quite delicious and just perfect in proportions, I was eager to see how my Dijon roasted chicken breast with mashed potatoes turned out. As usual, I devoured the mashed potatoes and simply wanted more. The chicken was good and cooked well, but a bit small in size and by no means memorable.

A departure for us, we decided on glasses of wine rather than a bottle. And I ordered a dessert, for which C promptly enjoyed half. All in all, the check was quite reasonable and the food was flavorful.

I'd easily recommend this restaurant to local diners for its simplicity of location, friendly staff and accessible flat-screen TVs that allow Monday Night Football viewing with comfort.
