All the items on the menu were of the comfort food variety. Too high in calories for my tastes. Would be OK for drinks with appetizers.

We were easily able to make a reservation for Public School on Ventura Blvd in Sherman Oaks on OpenTable, where they gave you different seating area options to select from. If you don’t park in their lot, we found plenty of street parking in the residential neighborhood across the street. I was craving something healthy-ish and filling, so I went with the Chophouse Filet Steak Salad ($21) which comes with chopped romaine, mixed greens, roasted red pepper, pickled onion, blue cheese dressing, filet mignon medallions & crispy fried onions. The blue cheese dressing was extremely light, and I’d you’re mildly sensitive to dairy you likely won’t have a problem with it as-is. I asked if I could switch out the crispy fried onions for grilled onions since I’m gluten free, and they were able to accommodate! I also really liked how they listed on their menu with GA in circles to clearly denote which items were Gluten Friendly. I would do the same thing if I came back, but next time I would add the avocado for $3 extra.

Food was below average, service was slow and sloppy, waited 20 mins for drinks to come to the table, items on the menu which i liked previously had been removed and menu lacked anything exciting. I had a final look around and wont be back, very disappointing.

I am very sorry that your sevice was slow and food did not meet your expections. Our staff and management do our best to make every dining experience exceptional for our guests. Since you have visited us in the past, I would like to hear about any opportunities we might have missed when the menu changed earlier this year and see if we can have you return.

Super fun vibe in this restaurant. It’s large, has indoor and outdoor seating and a nice bar. Menu is a good size and portions are perfect. Love that they have mock tails on the menu as well!

Very noisy outdoor patio. Between the cars and the music was hard to talk. The food was just ok. But the server was terrific
