    Just dinner with neighbors. Our table was in a good location, no loud voices. We were able to catch up as the dinner crowd thinned out early.

    Tried the prix fix menu for restaurant week. The bruschetta and shrimp appetizer fresh and delicious. The main course grouper dinner was not. The fish was very tough? Like day old chicken? With little to no flavor. Rice pudding also very good with great presentation and enough to share. Other companions had pork chop and filet dinners and enjoyed very much. Avoid grouper.

    Lake Perch was very good. Fries were underdone with little flavor. Cobbler delicious but $3.50 for a cup of coffee is outrageous!

    Food was good but expensive for what you got. I could not believe that you charge for bread. I will never order again. $10 for 4 little pretzel rolls. Gives me a sour taste when I think of that. I will only go there on Wednesday because of 1/2 price wines. We love the atmosphere, but prices are getting a little high.

    The Ash Wednesday Fish fry was amazing and being paired with 1/2 price bottles of wine made it even better. Beautiful historic setting was a perfect backdrop for a great lunch. Wow.

    Love Public Landing. We've been there twice now, and it never disappoints. I told the waiter that it was my husband's birthday, and he brought a candle & lighter to have my husband blow out.

    We frequently dine at public landings. Why? Because you know that you will have a pleasant experience and and the meal will be well prepared. We have been coming for a good time for several years and hopefully we’ll be back again for several more

    We booked a table for Valentines Day. Service was poor; entrees arrived long before we were done with our salads. We soon found out why: they had been fired way too early, and arrived lukewarm. I had the turkey dinner: cranberry sauce was canned. Brussels sprouts with bacon were delivered with no bacon. We felt rushed…and dinner was far more expensive than the food quality warranted. By now, we expect restaurants to have adapted to the post pandemic environment, and deliver higher levels of food and service. We don’t think we will be back.

    We have been there several times. This time was the worst. The food was not as good. I had salmon and the only vegetable was peppers with one tiny piece of broccoli. They changed the salmon because the last time I was there it was excellent. The waitress was ok. She was not as attentive as we have had other times. On the whole, we were disappointed because we had brought guests and were hoping that they would love it. They didn’t.

    This place, is outstanding. Starting with the service, our server was very professional, and not overbearing, because we are not looking to celebrate with the server. The volume of the restaurant was quite loud but people were having fun and so did we. Our food and steaks were prepared masterfully. The cocktail special of the evening, I don’t recall the name but was superb. I will tell you Parking is a little tight however to come to such a unique place like this they didn’t plan for parking back in 1838 with his building was built.
