Hatchet Hall

Hatchet Hall Restaurant Review:

Hatchet Hall features a vine-covered patio, granite oyster bar, long bar and the "Old Man Bar" in the back with a speakeasy feel. The kitchen team presides over a white oak grill and sources from farmers' markets to produce a daily-changing menu featuring tasty dishes such as diver scallops crudo, wood-grilled octopus and pork chop in brown butter maple jus. Complementing the entrées is a suite of creative vegetable sides including okra, turnips or carrots. Meals are filling but leave room for caramelized banana cream panna cotta. There are cocktails as well as an unusual wine program. Despite its rustic setting, the restaurant not only has a romantic presence, but also an edgy vibe.
