    Public School - Las Vegas is an awesome spot…welcoming & lively vibe, friendly service (Thank You Josalina), solid beer selection, and a delicious menu…our favorite bite is their Guinness Short Ribs…and the ‘Green Beer’ for St. Patrick’s Day was a fun & festive touch…for a fun, casual bite, I recommend Public School - Las Vegas

    The menu looked wonderful that is why we went there. We actually went for the fish and chips. 2 measly pieces of fish that looked like large pretzel sticks and the chips were like McDonalds fries. Cost us over 50.00. Very hard to find restaurant and when we finally found it we saw it was upstairs and the escalator was not in service. Would not return.

    Food has always been great. Service this time, not so much and they weren’t busy at all and we could never find our server. She also forgot to refill as well as requested sides but business was still discussed and I won’t let one bad server determine if we dine there again.

    Server was absolute top notch, great personality and speedy and super attentive, shes a keeper! Also, manager came by to check on us, nice. Noise level was too loud. We had to yell over the table. Food was boring, fish n chips, steak salad.... meh, forgettable. Not a bad experience, nor too overpriced, but nothing memorable either

    Southwest chicken bowl was dry. Asked for salsa or similar. Cilantro lime crema was recommended and helped taste it up. They were honest that chicken tenders were over done so my nephew had a wait for his plate to be re-done and come out. Adam was attentive and helpful. Two managers came by to check up on us so that was nice. The usual meals like the PB & J burger, fish tacos, curry, pizza, pretzels, loaded tots and Mac & cheese never disappoint.

    Meet with two couples for a casual early NYE dining. It worked so well for the three couples. Service was very good. Hostess and waiter could not have any nicer! It can be a little noisy but not overwhelming. Will return another day.

    Food was amazing!! Good menu selection however there was poor service. We sat along the row behind the hostess. We kept getting forgotten about, we had to wave down the hostess because we didn’t have drinks for over 15 minutes and had to stop eating bc we had no drinks. Then our waiter came over and only got me a refill not my father till we got our check. It was his birthday and wanted to take him out for a good night however the food was the only good thing about the night. Also they had a live band and the music was just too loud. We get it’s a live band but having to yell into the persons ear your sitting next to us just awful.

    Even though we made a reservation, we had to wait almost 30 minutes and could not get the table we wanted. I understand that this is the busiest time of the year but I expected that they needed to prepare. When I called them prior to the event, I asked the hostess if I was able to bring our own cake since they didn't have any cake on their menu. She said I could but they have to charge $20 for bringing our cake. I agreed because I didn't have any other choice. When we ordered our food I asked our server about an additional $20 charge, and he said never heard of that extra charge. Why the hostess said that to me?? Tried to charge more?? I don't understand. Service was really really slow and the food was just ok. Would not go back.

    The food was very good, but the service was very lacking. We went at 4:15pm on a Saturday night. So, I don’t know if it was because we were too early? But, we were going to a parade at 6pm. We were sat in the bar area. There were other servers in the bar area, but for some reason the bartender was our server. It took him at least 10-15 minutes to greet us, I think because he wasn’t interested in serving us. We were about to leave when he came over. He checked on us maybe twice. I had to go to the bar to order a dessert. The food was good. I got the fish tacos and it was a nice piece of cod. They had pub style food. The decor was cute as it was school themed. I won’t be running back, but may give it another try someday.

    On the second floor of the outdoor Summerlin downtown mall. Park near Maggiano's Italian restaurant and walk around the fountain with a skull sculpture. The restaurant has school-themed decoration and menu. My brunch item was called "Dean's List" with toast, bacon, two eggs any style, and potatoes. Can't go wrong. It was well priced and the service was pretty good considering how busy they were as soon as they opened at 11am on Sunday. Neat ambience. Only service dogs allowed.

    Our experience started with a bad attitude from the hostess, who when I asked if I could get my friends at the bar who we were dining with she said no. I went anyway, and when I turned around to get back to her to go back to the table, which was a matter of no more than a minute and a half , she left me and went back to her podium. We waited at our table for about 15 to 20 minutes before anyone came to our table. We ordered drinks which came back wrong and everything we ordered came out in piece meal. We ate outside and the lights were not working. It was dark and not even a candle. Although we were with friends we enjoyed their company, it was definitely a first and last for us!

    Food was good. Drinks were really good. Service was great. Overall, it was a good night out at a fine restaurant. The highlight being the Roasted Balsamic and Maple Brussel Sprouts. My wife and I would order them again in a heartbeat. However, I would ask them to leave off the Blue Cheese Crumbles. Just a little too powerful for me. My burger was as good as any other restaurants. My wife enjoyed her Fish and Chips. The two specialty drinks we ordered were fantastic and our server and his team were on top of everything.

    The service here was absolutely terrible. We sat down at 5:50 with 10 mins to spare of happy hour. We kept trying to flag down our server to get orders in before 6 and she didn’t end up finally coming over to us until 6:05 which made us miss happy hour pricing. It wasn’t even busy which is what was frustrating. I never got a refill on my drink and we didn’t really get checked on. It took 20 mins for one of the girls in our party to get a box. The food was good but I feel like this place is a little overpriced for what it is.
