TownHall Ohio City

We went out to TownHall two nights in a row this week!   It just so happened that two groups of people that I hang out with chose the same place for dinner and drinks.   It's a fairly new place in Ohio City.  They have a large selection of beer and wine, cupcakes as large as two fists put together, and decently quick food service.  Half of the restaurant is served by wait staff.  The quieter cafe side has a walk up bar for placing orders which are then delivered to your seat.

Pictured above is the Grilled Cheese Bars and Bisque.   The sandwich is artfully sliced into thirds and consists of sourdough bread, roasted Roma tomatoes, and cheddar and Gruyere cheese.   The tomato bisque has Gorgonzola cheese in it.  I found the soup a bit too tart for my taste.  I think they should have added more of the Gorgonzola to make it more creamy.   The sandwich was nicely crispy, but I'm not a big tomato fan.

Steve had the Spicy Curry noodles, which featured roasted chicken, lemongrass, snow peas, shallots, cilantro, a bit of lime, and a coconut milk broth.  It was filling and mildly spicy.

This vanilla milkshake was really tasty.   It featured Mitchell's ice cream and they give you the mixer container.  You basically get two shakes for the price.
Steve had the Citraberry shake.  It had tuaca, rumchata, fresh blackberries, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla bean ice cream from Mitchell's.  It was fruity and creamy at the same time, with just a kick from the alcohol.

I think one of the best things on the menu are the Matchstick Truffle Fries.  They have Parmesan cheese and truffle oil.  They are perfectly crispy.   The seasonings tend to fall to the bottom of the container though.   

I really like the fries and the milkshakes.  Overall, I'd have to try some different entrees next time.   
Maybe a dessert.

  1. The truffle fries were delicious. Also the flat bread pizza we got was tasty, I believe it was the 'Classico'. Also the Crusted Chicken that I tried a bite of was to die for, and the roasted potatoes servers with it were seasoned well, and very tender. They also have excellent options for 'Gluten free'. And don't forget the beer selection! You simply can not order a 'Blue Moon' but you tell the waitress what you like and they suggest a certain beer that is a similar consistency to what you like. I had the Number 3 which was an Upland Wheat and it tasted just like Blue Moon! Overall good experience, the huge open storm doors allow for a constant breeze so no matter where you are sitting, you feel like you are outside. It is airy, open and modern. I would go back anytime.
