Glover Park Gets a Town Hall

On Tap reports that the new space is the brainchild of "five owners, all but one affiliated at some time with party place Adams Mill Bar & Grill in Adams Morgan." Chef Paul Madrid, late of Paolo's in Georgetown, will head up the kitchen. A peek at the menu reveals some interesting dishes, like fried brie with boysenberry jam, homemade turkey pot pie with vegetables in white truffle cream, and shrimp with coconut ginger risotto. The sandwich line-up looks pretty good, too.
A few months ago, controversy was sparked over the new restaurant's proposed closing hours. Seeing the rowdy crowds that Adams Mill brings in, I'm not surprised the neighbors were concerned, but it seems Town Hall is billing itself as a legitimate restaurant. Time will tell if the spot draws more of a restaurant or bar crowd. At least the neighbors aren't getting another strip club...
