    I had the seafood combo with rice. It was a generous serving with lots of seafood and very tasty. My friend had a main course house salad and salmon, also very good. The setting is delightful. Recommend.

    The ambience and service always surpass the food quality at the Public Landing. This is too bad because the atmosphere, both indoors and outdoors, is excellent. I had the crabcakes at this meal, which were notable only for their complete lack of any crab meat. Entrees are generally quite heavy here and the menu would benefit from more items for lighter appetites.

    Everything was very nice. The red snapper was slightly dry and could have used more sauce. But it was still a good dining experience.

    This is a lovely restaurant to enjoy dinner. The location is very pretty. However, my dinner order of roast duck was not so great. The duck seemed to be overdone and rather tasteless. It came with an orange sauce which was good, but not nearly enough was provided. It also was served on a plate over oven roasted vegetables which were a real issue. The vegetable medley consisted mostly of peppers and a few broccoli spears - all of which were unseasoned. It was definitely not the right vegetables to accompany roast duck. This presentation's price (no soup, salad or starch) cost $41.00. I would never order this menu item again.

    No need to keep sending these to me as my reviews will always be the same! Perfect score in all categories for Public Landing Restaurant. Impeccable! And the Outdoor patio is superb!

    This place never disappoints- last night was no exception. You can’t go wrong on any level. Much appreciated celebrating my husband’s Birthday there!

    Food was great. There are many gluten free options. Service was great. The outside area was very pretty and you can enjoy that area after dinner with a drink.

    The rib special was excellent and should be a regular menu item. The seafood bayou was also excellent as well the service from our waiter, Jacob. I still don't know how he can bring a Grey Goose in a martini glass from the bar to the patio without spilling a drop.
