About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
  • Charming
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 atmosphere was great, the service was attentive, and the food arrived in perfect timing. Everything we ordered was outstanding! The Cobb salad was one of the best I’ve ever had, and the pimento burger did not disappoint. Don’t skip the deviled eggs — they were a delicious starter. The cocktails were just as impressive. I had an Espresso Martini and a Lemon Drop, both perfectly crafted, and the Old Fashioned was spot on. Highly recommend this spot — we’ll definitely be back!

Food was reasonably priced, but it didn’t seem as great as it used to be several years ago. I had a quinoa salad that wasn’t bad but didn’t seem quite right. The mocktails were too sweet rather than being interesting or refreshing.

The ambience is characterized by a very real sense of energy/excitement. If seeking a quiet lunch, ask to be seated outside as the energy inside can be a little much!

Service was okay but it took quite some time. I don't think it was the waiter's fault. The place was very busy (which is shocking considering the mediocrity of the food and drinks). They need to train better, have better operations, or hire more people because we waited too long for everything. But our waiter was very nice. My drink was awful and the manager had them make a new one for me. It was better but still not on par of what I expect at a good restaurant. So, I would not go back to this place and do not recommend.

We're truly sorry to hear that your experience with us didn't meet your expectations. After reviewing your reservation details, it appears your visit lasted about an hour, which is typical for a dinner for two including cocktails, a salad course, and entrees—especially on a busy evening at Public House. That said, we understand that timing and atmosphere can greatly impact the overall dining experience. We truly value your input and would welcome the opportunity to make things right. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly if there's anything we can do to address your concerns. Warm regards, Mikayla Dreer Director of Operations
