Old City Hall has service and food down to an art. This time around when we walked in the door it reminded me why we were back.... The atmosphere is welcoming and smells wafting from the kitchen are heavenly. We kicked dinner off with the fried calamari andit was a hefty portion of a fresh treat. Looking over the menu is troubling in that they make it all but impossible to narrowthings down to a single choice. Every option sounded amazing and we took longer than usual to finally make our decisions. Forour sides we both got the clam chowder and their offering is one of the best I've ever found. I chose the seafood pasta and itis a perfectly cooked grouping of some of the tastiest shrimp, mussels, calamari, and clams in a zesty, chunky marinara. Theportions of seafood were generous and sauce done to perfection. She opted for the Mixto del Mar pasta that had lobster, prawns,and salmon, in a chipotle sauce. Just like mine, it was spiked with lots of seafood and all done to perfection. Every time I goout dining I look at the menus trying to decide what will hopefully fill me up. That is never a worry here as no matter howhungry I am walking in I end up waddling out with leftovers. Tonight held a nice surprise, we got the treat of being served bythe Psychic Server, Araceli. She was all but ever-present and whenever our drinks got within a couple sips from the bottomAraceli had a new glass at the ready. Her friendly, perky, personality added that extra level to our dinner. Old City Hall isthe place to go for a special time out, every single time. Thanks again! Read more

First visit was fantastic. The steak taco salad was one of the best ever. Second visit a few days later was very... disappointing. Waited forever on appetizer. Waitress never returned to take our order. Left without ordering entrees orreceiving appetizer. 5 stars for first visit and 0 stars for second visit. Read more

I had the fish and chips this time and it was delicious. Not over battered or doughy. We love to go on Fridays and get the prime... rib. They usually seem a little short staffed and are pretty busy. I love the outdoor patio on a nice day. Their Caesardressing is delicious! Read more

Food is excellent and good sized portions. Service wonderful. Our waitress was so sweet. Very original bathroom! We are from... Philly and I'm here to tell you that Philly cheesesteaks do not have Swiss cheese, bell peppers, or mushrooms nor are theyserved in a French roll. Steak places in Philly do not even have these ingredients and would laugh at you. So they get a 4for calling that a Philly cheesesteak. We ordered the garlic fries (to die for), cheese curds, bruschetta, potato boats, thegarlic burger, and chicken veggie soup. All excellent. Read more

Very good food, very relaxed atmosphere, great customer service. Our server was very friendly and helpful the food might've... taken a lil longer to get to our mouth but it was worth it. Everything from the drinks, appetizers and main dishes weredelicious. Gilroy roasted garlic and the fresh jalapeños poppers are a must try appetizer. Read more
