Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Public House offers a charming atmosphere with standout dishes like the "strawberry shortcake" and "tomato addiction." The service, often highlighted for its warmth, especially by servers like Taylor, is generally commendable. While live music enhances the ambiance, some guests find it too loud. Despite occasional service delays, the "great brunch" and accommodating staff are frequently praised.

    Service was wonderful! I’m pretty sure our server’s name was Taylor. Shishito peppers and tomato addiction was so good! Jalapeño Caesar was also really good! Steak frites was very flavorful! Strawberry shortcake was fantastic!!

    We loved the remodeling. Have more tables, the floor is nice and clean. The music was very nice but too loud for Sunday lunch. We had to sit in the front patio to be able to talk. I would certainly recommend lowering the volume a little. That is coming from someone that loves live music. But we just couldn’t even hear each other if sitting in the back. Food was great

    Food was ok/good, but nothing to write home about. Short ribs were warm, French fries were limp and warm.

    Great Mother's Day brunch!!! Taylor gave us exceptional service. Only issue was no gluten free desserts or breads on the buffet. We'll definitely come back for dinner though!

    We decided to Public House on Mother's Day since they were advertising a "Mother's Day Brunch Experience" that sounded like it would be nice. Unfortunately, it was a terrible experience. The assortment of food choices on the buffet was limited at best. I made a special trip to visit the restaurant 2 days before our reservation to get details about this "Mother's Day Experience". I was told that the brunch buffet would include a "huge assortment" of breakfast and lunch items. Nothing on the buffet was labeled, so you had to lift every lid and hope you could identify what was in the pan. The bacon was greasy and limp (not even close to crisp), the diced potatoes were dry, the fruit was not fresh, and the only non-breakfast items we found were refried beans(?), cupcakes, and something that resembled taquitos with green sauce. Everything that was supposed to be hot, was cold and vice versa. The guy running the "omelet station" didn't speak English, so telling him how you'd like your omelet prepared was challenging. He was also manning a carving station, when asked what the meat was, he wasn't sure. We weren't willing to try it because it was not under a heat lamp, and we didn't know if it was safe to eat. Bottomless mimosas are a full glass of champagne per person and 1 glass of orange juice for the entire table to share. How does this work? 3 of us had mimosas that we had to 1) figure out how to mix ourselves and 2) pray that a server would make it somewhat worthwhile by giving us refills. Here's the kicker! When asked about what charges were, because the cost of the buffet and bottomless mimosas were not posted anywhere to be found, we were informed that the buffet was $60 and mimosas were $25 PER PERSON. I asked the server if he was joking, and he immediately offered us a $10 discount, but agreed that it was not worth the money. It felt very "thrown together at the last minute" and incredibly disorganized.

    Great food, good music ruined by slow service. Service was very slow- We sat at 12:20, waited 10 minutes before getting acknowledged or even table water. The waitress was polite but didn’t come by until 12:45 to take our orders. For a table of 4- with no special instructions, it was around 1:15 before we got our meals. Ambiance- Really enjoyed Ryan Valenzuela band and made long wait for service almost enjoyable. Where there were misters the temps were reasonable for outdoor seating- to be fair it was 100F today. But the row of misters where we sat were off/not working so only the shade and an occasional breeze kept us cool.

    It is an adorable restaurant. They accommodated our large party with short notice. The server was great and they had live music.

    We had reservations and we were sat immediately. However, with regards to service, it took over a half an hour to acknowledge us. By the time we were acknowledged, we were offered a free shot to which we declined. Then he offered to buy us a drink. Our food then took some time to come out. Once it arrived, the food was fine. When we were done and received our bill, we noticed the drink that he had offered us was on the bill. He tried to retract his earlier statement to which we then argued. Ultimately, we got the drink taken off, but really no other offers to give us a complementary meal or anything to make the experience better.
