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

We sat on the patio which would have been fine save for the never ending parade of very loud motorcycles and emergency vehicles. Highly recommend if you can get a table inside.

I’ll definitely be back, but next time on a less busy night. The space is pretty small, and when it started raining, there wasn’t a great plan for those seated outside on the balcony. Everyone was moved inside, which made it very cramped and noticeably loud. Unfortunately, it also smelled a bit like wet dog after the rain. The ambiance took a hit for me because of that, but I take some responsibility for going on a packed Friday night. Looking forward to returning when things are a little calmer!
