Several years ago, I decided that my future in the restaurant business would most likely not remain in the realm of fine dining and gourmands, but would rather lean towards the style of restaurant that I found myself frequenting most often - places that provided consistency and quality at a price that was fair for the quality of the food and experience. Public House plays to the comforts of good, solid food, while applying the principles of premium food products to a more casual setting. You will find all the fish is delivered from Foley’s in Boston, high quality steaks and a rotating selection of vegetable sides that are true to the region and season. You’ll also find a really good hamburger and fish sandwich, along with fun snacks and small plates that pair well with cocktails, beer and wine.
Welcome,
Nathan Lindley

The food was very good, but the service was less than stellar. My husband finally got his glass of wine when the waitress came to clear his dinner plate. Dessert took forever to come out…almost wanted to just cancel the order. Kinda felt like we were ignored by our waitress the entire night….put a bit of a damper on the whole experience.

the service here was great, and the appetizers are wonderful. And it was blissfully quiet -- you could actually have a conversation with your table mates. The main courses, however, are not inspiring or particularly creative (e.g., vegetarian platter = pick 4 side dishes).. Same for the desserts. Study the menu before you come here to be sure you'll find something you want to order. Would I recommend this? Yes, but with reservations (pardon the pun!).

This is the second wine dinner for my husband and I. We absolutely enjoy these dinners at Public House. We try foods we would not normally have. I ate Salmon last night which I never do. The duck breast was excellent. Lucas & Llewellyn vineyards was an enjoyment also. The Santa Barbara wines were also a great experience. Can't wait until the next wine dinner at Public House!!!

We enjoyed our evening here, but things moved rapidly. Our entrees arrived when we were just half way thru our salads. I don’t usually complain about service being “too fast,” but this was a bit disconcerting. On the other hand, we were all quite pleased with our entrees and desserts. I would highly recommend this place.

We needed a same space for my MIL to meet her cousins for lunch. With my MIL undergoing intense chemo, we needed a space that 1) took reservations and 2) accommodated social distancing. This place was perfect. 10/10 recommendation. We traveled from GA and will definitely be back!

Our dinners and customer service were outstanding. When one of our dinners wasn't to perfection, the wait staff immediately recognized it and promptly brought a replacement. Additionally the manager visited our table and asked about our meal. He was very considerate and wanted to ensure that we were having a great dining experience.

Our server was very attentive and the food was well paced. We got a variety of dishes to sample the menu and found every item very tasty. The shrimp and grits were especially good. The chicken caesar salad featured the most incredible fried chicken (surprise). There is ample paid parking across the street and the walk is very close. We are from the Detroit area and would come here again during a trip.

My daughter and I had a great experience at the Public House. We drove in from NW Georgia for a concert at the Walker Theatre. We were seated in a comfy and well lit area. Fried chicken, Mac, and cabbage were the best. The Japanese slipper recommended by our server, Shanna, was refreshing and light. The service was excellent. The servers showed what teamwork is all about. We will definitely be back.
