Yesterday's early lunch at the Public House was idyllic. This spot never disappoints, in fact, with each visit I am more enchanted. The food was great. Drinks were generous, tasty and chilled and the server was phenomenal. She was friendly, sweet and efficient. She kept a close eye on our drinks and check in with us a number of times to see that we had all that we needed. A delightful lunch.

We grabbed a table last minute for a quick family dinner. The service was on point, Angela was very attentive and the food came out blazing fast. My son loved the Udon and my daughter devoured the chicken teriyaki. We had some rolls and the special nigiri, we especially liked the truffle sea bass one. This place has it together, will definitely be returning.
