    The restaurant was decorated with the school theme. Our server was unattentive after our entrees were served. We didn't order additional rounds of drinks as our server never came back. The food was average and nothing stood out. The shrimp ceviche was probably the best dish out of the six we ordered. The cocktails were watered down.

    Public School is always solid. The food is consistently good and they have a large beer menu if you're into craft brews. Atmosphere is casual. Great to meet up with friends or go on a casual date.

    Service was a little slow, but once they approached they were very friendly. I think they were a little understaffed. We ordered some appetizers and those arrived pretty quickly and they were delicious. We had the hot pretzel, the buffalo cauliflower, and the brussels sprouts. All three were wonderful. I would go back and order the cauliflower as an entree...it was that yummy. We were a party of 6 and 5 of us ordered either fish tacos or fish and chips. We agreed that we would return and order both again. The fish is lightly breaded, not greasy at all and the tortilla tasted homemade. The fish and chips consisted of 2 large pieces of fish and fresh potato fries. Really good. The other entree was the kale/squash pasta and it too got a thumbs up. We looking forward to going back for a happy hour.

    We bought tickets to see a play on a Sunday night not realizing it was Super Bowl Sunday. Found this place near the theatre to catch the game before the show and it was perfect. The food and ambience were great. It wasn't too loud or crowded like some nearby bars. Our server, Javier, made some great beer and food rec.

    I’m so disappointed. We used to love this place. The food has taken on a TGI Fridays vibe. When my meal arrived it was not appetizing and poorly thrown together. Our server was virtually unavailable as she was also bartending. The menus now are unattractive laminated sports bar style. It seems they have transitioned into a bar with food, lots of tvs and loud noise. I won’t be returning.

    Always good. Somehow we all ended up with the fish tacos. The secret (optional) ingredient is - you guessed it - bacon! Service was friendly and terrific.

    Dee's service was outstanding. Unable to decide between salmon or bratwurst, she said she likes the salmon. It was delicious! I'm not a fan of quinoa. It has always had a dirty taste to me. Not their quinoa & tomato salad! My guest had the fish & chips. I had fish & chips elsewhere the day before that was subpar. The breading was thick like a grease sponge. PS310's fish & chips were lightly breaded, crispy. The fish was light & flaky. Their tartar sauce had an interesting flavor to it. It seemed like there was a slight taste of whole grain mustard in it that set it apart from normal tartar sauce. We both had a watermelon mojito that we enjoyed. However neither of us felt that it tasted like watermelon. The only negative point was that the music level seemed a bit much. Not enough that we couldn't carry on a conversation at normal volume. But some customers did find it necessary to speak louder at their tables in order to talk over it.

    We were looking for a restaurant with a unique atmosphere and this truly was what we were looking for! Our waiter was the best - could answer all our questions about the menu and even brought me a sample of the sauce that would be on my chicken curry to ensure it was to my liking (I did not ask him to do this). The food could not have been more delicious!

    I feel like this place goes a little further downhill with each visit. Ambience is perfect, menu has all the right options, execution is just fair. Drinks are weak, very weak. Everything was overcooked, chicken was very dry and the burger was still good, just way overcooked. Look, you didn't need to ask me how I wanted it cooked, but you did. I went with medium, because it's a burger...it was very well-done. The toppings saved it. Bun, cheese, sauce, bacon(bits) were all very good...as were the truffle fries...everything else we ate was eh.

    Ordered the parmesan truffle fries and they came out cold. Sent them back for hot ones and a second order came out even colder (how is this possible? did anyone even bother to check?) The third batch was hot and delicious and the manager kindly took them off the bill. The variety of food was great and all items were tasty. The tuna bowls were especially popular and loved by our group. The drinks were creative and, as are their names! Sticky menus and tables, but in general, the vibe was fun.

    The service was good. We went for brunch and the menu is new so it was a bit exciting to try, but that excitement died when the food came out. It was so bad that almost all the plates went back to the kitchen because it was so bad.

    The PB &J Burger with an impossible burger patty substitute was a hit with one of my guests. The buffalo cauliflower appetizer was great. The crispy chicken sandwich had a good flavor, but the meat was tough and sinewy. We had a great server who provided honest opinions about which dishes they preferred.

    It was a much nicer place than I expected. It was very crowded for a Wednesday night, maybe because of their happy hour. Got food from their happy hour menu and was not impressed. Their truffle fries were soggy and seemed undercooked. It was also an extremely small portion so definitely not worth it. The PB&J sliders were interesting but also wasn’t that impress either. Service was slow too. Overall I think I had higher expectations and was disappointed.
