Chef Takes the Reins at San Francisco Institution
Original Town Hall chefs/owners Mitchell and Steven Rosenthal, along with co-owner Bjorn Kock, will depart from the acclaimed restaurant at 342 Howard St. In San Francisco, just shy of its 20-year anniversary. They’re passing the torch to Chef Tyler Florence.
Town Hall’s next chapter will kick off in early 2024, when chef Tyler Florence teams up with real estate investment firm DivcoWest. DivcoWest and its partners own the restaurant and the adjacent 199 Fremont, a Class A office building. Florence will take over all restaurant operations and reintroduce a new concept under the existing Town Hall name.
“Town Hall is an institution that has created great memories over the years for which we are deeply thankful,” said Eric Lupinski, managing director, DivcoWest. “We are honored that Tyler Florence has chosen the evolving East Cut neighborhood for his next endeavor. He is a celebrated voice in the hospitality industry, and we look forward to introducing his new concept to the community.”
