Beacon Public House - The Common's HotelWe tried Beacon Public HouseWe tried Beacon Public House on a whim and were really happy with our experience. The food is excellent, and the service was great. It's not located in an area well-known for a lot of great restaurants, but I'd suggest trying it out.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had a large group in theWe had a large group in the private room right off the dining room. Great decor and really comfy seating. The service was top notch and the food was fantastic. I will be back for the walleye appetizer. 3 in our group got the flat iron steak and said it was awesome. The "Red Rita" cockatail was a hit!4/11/2013 12:00:00 AMIt's nice to have a "grown-up"It's nice to have a "grown-up" restaurant on this side of campus, a nice alternative to fast food and bar food. Very good food, perfect portion sizes, salads and sandwiches are reasonably priced for the quality. The pulled pork taco salad is my favorite. If you want one of their awesome booths for lunch, be sure to reserve ahead, as they book up fast.3/15/2013 12:00:00 AMDefinitely get the truffleDefinitely get the truffle french fries here.
