Awesome celebration with my son after his graduation. Called, staff accommodated our request. Danny, our entertainment ambassador (server) was awesome. She made our experience on for the memory books. I can not expressed my feelings of joy that she brought to ourcelebration. Engaging, knowledgeable and what a smile and attitude. I would marry this girl. Thanks again, if ever in California, look me up Danny so I can return a memorable experience to you. Merry Christmas

Had dinner tonight for the first time here. I had the Filet, my Fiancé had the Gnocchi. This place is an absolute gem. Easily the best Filet I’ve ever had, the Gnocchi pasta dish was out of this world. Our server Casey was very pleasant, and was able to answer any of our questions without looking at the menu. With the quality of the food and service, this place is absolute bargain. We will absolutely be back again. Thank you Old Town City hall for setting the bar very high.

The food was great but the service is next level. I was recently there, my serve was Hannah and Chloe was working the bar. There are the absolute dream team. I love going when they are working. Chloe makes the best drinks to surprise me with and is simply the best. Hannah had great food recommendations and is very friendly. They are both the best there, I know I’m gonna have great service when I see them there. 5 stars to these girls!!!

Vacation food usually comes and goes… but this lamb deserves its own memory lane. Old City Hall Restaurant served the best lamb I have EVER had. Perfect char, unbelievably tender, rich flavor, and plated like artwork. I’m pretty sure this meal ruined all future lamb chops for me because nothing else will compare now. And a huge shoutout to our server, Bev, who made the entire meal feel like an experience instead of just dinner. Her service, personality, and attention to detail elevated an already incredible evening. Absolutely unforgettable.

Good food. Getting our food was a little slow but we did walk in right as they opened. Meatballs, crab cakes, and grilled cheese/tomato bisque combo - all good. Truffle fries were the best!

My first experience with Old City Hall left me disappointed and I was invited back to give them a second chance. After my previous visit, I was genuinely impressed by how Old City Hall Restaurant handled the situation. The owner/manager personally reached out and invited me back, and I returned this evening. From the moment we walked in, the level of care and attention was outstanding. We were treated with genuine hospitality, and it was clear they truly stand behind their commitment to making things right. This time, the food was exactly what I had originally hoped for — well-prepared, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The difference was night and day, and it showed me that my first experience was not the standard they aim to uphold. What really stood out, though, was the level of accountability and customer service. It’s rare to see a restaurant take feedback seriously and go above and beyond to correct it. I’m grateful for the experience and will absolutely be back. Thanks Brandon, Rich and Hailey. You made our night!

I am always happy with my visit. I have rented the private room numerous times for meetings, private dinners, and even an interview. It has always been a pleasure, and I love the environment. Bev has often taken care of us for our private events and she always does an amazing job! Pleasant and courteous, and quick with service. Would highly recommend others rent the space!

We wanted the side room for our wedding and it was absolutely perfect. The food was great and they even had nice linen in the tables with center pieces.

I've reserved the private room at Old City Hall numerous times, and we always receive great service! Bev's attention to detail before the meeting and during the event is always top notch. Highly recommend! The food is excellent and we are able to hold our meetings without the noise and distractions of the main dining room area. Bev makes the reservation process simple and ensured everything was set up exactly as requested. Food and drinks were served promptly, and the quality was excellent across the board. If you’re looking for a venue for a birthday, business dinner, shower, or family celebration, I highly recommend their private room option. It made our event feel special and seamless. We’ll definitely book again!

We got takeout from this casual fine dining spot, and I didn't know what to try, but everything was phenomenal! I'd totally recommend the gnocchi with added steak—it was super creamy and satisfying. The prime rib sandwich was delicious too, as was the grilled cheese and buffalo chicken. I'd even say it's better than that other local place, Gatsby's. It's a bit pricey, but they make up for it with amazing flavors and high-quality ingredients.
