SOURCING + SUSTAINABILITY
We pay extra attention to ingredient quality and sourcing. Chef Tom and his culinary team use as many local, organic, natural and sustainable ingredients as possible, and make decisions every day to bring in the best available items from herbs and vegetables, to meats, fishes and cheeses. We also are proud to serve an array of locally-brewed and craft distilled beverages.
Based on current menu offerings, seasonality and availability, we source from the following local artisan producers, purveyors and farm partners at both Town Hall and Prati Italia.TOWN HALL, OUR STORY
TOWN HALL, OUR STORY
Led by two-time James Beard nominee Tom Gray, Town Hall is a community gathering spot for sharing good food and drink in good company. We opened in the spring of 2017 after extensive renovations of an existing space in the historic neighborhood of San Marco. Working with the design and architect team at Atlanta-based ai3, we brought a decidedly west-coast design aesthetic to the small restaurant to pair with our menu influenced by growing up and living in the west. We hope you will love our vibe as much as we love bringing it to you!
Our menu draws inspiration from developing fresh, layered flavors and using seasonal ingredients from local farms and artisan purveyors. Enjoy a selection of wines from around the world creative craft cocktails, and Jacksonville’s finest local craft beers in our comfy lounge, bar or intimate dining room.
We also invite you to join us at our "big sister" restaurant, Prati Italia! Chef Tom brings the flavor of Jacksonville to the popular St. Johns Town Center shopping and dining center with Prati Italia. Serving contemporary Italian fare including handmade pastas, Roman-style pizzas and handcrafted cocktails, Prati Italia is the only locally-owned restaurant built from the ground-up at the Town Center.
Both Town Hall and Prati Italia are the brain children of Chef Tom Gray and his partner in life and business, Sarah Marie Johnston. Together with a dedicated team of back-and front-of-the-house industry pro's and savvy business partners, they are leading the charge to bring a higher level of recognition to the North Florida dining scene and sustainable sourcing movement. Drop us a line for press inquiries, or to learn more about our hospitality management and consulting company, CuliVino.
