    Our group of 13 selected nearly all items on the Easter menu—from soup and salad to entrees to dessert. Everyone was very happy! And, as expected, a few of us took home “boxes”. The service was exceptional…great staff.

    This was our 1st visit to Public Landing and will definitely not be our last. From the moment we made our Easter reservation to the time we left the restaurant and were in the parking lot was a welcoming and enjoyable experience. Staff, service, food {Special Easter Menu}, drinks, price, and atmosphere were all very good. We are planning on returning with some friends to try their regular menu items, which I'm sure will be as delicious as their Easter selections. Make Public Landing one of your choices, you will not be disappointed.

    (Table of 8)The waitress was kind of inflexible..wouldn’t let us order soup with apps or make side substitutions . Cocktails were awful and just seemed like an inexperienced bartender…served a beer with a warm glass, Negroni in a wine glass, frothy old fashioned, syrupy espresso martinis, tasteless margaritas. The positive was the steaks were cooked perfect, but then again lacked seasoning. Mashed potatoes were lukewarm. Peach cobbler was mushy and had no flavor. We expected better.
