The server and manager went out of their way to assure our meals were perfect. One question, why would you have staff wear name tags that aren’t theirs? Doesn’t seem like a morale booster.

In beautiful, modern hotel. Very bright and lively atmosphere - a little loud so don't expect intimate dining. Food menu is small offering burgers, appetizers to share and a few bar/grill type entrees. What stood out the most was the service - attentive wait staff, friendly and fast service.

Worst customer service ever! After making Mother’s Day reservations weeks prior we were beyond disappointed. The hostess and what could have been a manager sat us at a high top table in the bar area with a 3 year old (and a very pregnant mom). I was completely shocked as they walked us to our table with MULTIPLE open tables in the main dining area open. They were completely unresponsive to finding a better solution and only offered mini bistro tables outside of the restaurant…which not one other party was even sat at because they were tiny bistro tables! The restaurant dining area had tables that remained open throughout our entire 2.5 hour dining experience. The rudeness and level of customer service was repulsive!!!! The food selection was sub par and the quality was nothing impressive. We’ve dining at the prior establishments for Mother’s Day and have had wonderful experiences, it’s so disappointing that this new ownership is not carrying on the same. Additionally, we’ve had large dinners with many couples at the prior establishment and NEVER were disappointed. I can surely say that we will not be going back here with so many other great options in the area.

I made a reservation online for 6 people for 11 am. We arrived at 11 with 3 kids and 3 adults. The host told us to sit at a table, but when we were sitting down, 3 waitresses said that the restaurant is closed and does not open until 11:30 (at that point it was already 11:10 am). When I mentioned that the host seated us, they said that the kitchen is closed, there is no food and they can try to "scrape us some food from the buffet that is now closed." Naturally, I had to take three hungry kids and look for another place to feed them.

We visited for the Easter brunch and couldn’t be happier. The staff accommodated an error I made when booking, the food was delicious, and my 3 year old loved the coloring and cookie decorating station. Highly recommend for holiday brunches!

We got 15 min late to our reservation so the hostesses told us it got canceled. They they said the wait time was 10 min so we sat somewhere close. After the 10 minutes I go back and to the hostess to check on the table and then she tells me we had to wait for another 45 min when you could see people that were leaving and there were empty tables. These girls just had a bad attitude…

The food was just okay, not terrible but not the best either. Our food came out fast, but there was some confusion with our orders. We ordered 3 orders of sliders, one cooked medium well and two cooked well done; however, when the food was brought to the table the server didn’t know which was which. Our server was good, she was busy but she was attentive. Everyone enjoyed the bison meatballs. Drinks were mediocre, the menu was limited and the drinks were watery. I would recommend the restaurant if you are staying at the hotel and you don’t want to leave.

I had a reservation for my family and I on Wednesday night. We got there and all we saw at the host stand was a sign saying something like go to the bartender for service. My family and 82 year old grandma stood there for 15 minutes waiting for the bartender to get to us. When she finally came over to us, she said she would get someone else to help us. We waited again and what looked to be a server came up to us and asked me if she could help me with something. I then said yes I have a reservation and I have been waiting to be seated for a long time. She said “oh that’s weird that you have a reservation because we were so slow tonight.” She then proceeded to tell me the only option was the bar area high tops because they cut all of the servers and closed the dining room due to it being a slow night. I was pretty heated because it so unprofessional and she made me look like an idiot even though I had a confirmed reservation. I told her we couldn’t sit in the bar and that we asked for a booth due to my elderly grandmother. She didn’t seem to care or got a manager. I told her this was completely unprofessional and we left. I was extremely disappointed with this place and originally had high expectations but we will never be back. If you are going to close early or sent staff members home, turn off your open table reservations. We had to scramble to find another place for dinner. Very disappointing experience.

Thus was our first time at the Public House. It wasn’t very crowded for a Saturday evening. My family took us there for my birthday. It’s a limited menu but some interesting options. There was five of us, we all ordered something different and we were all happy with or choices. The Public House isn’t close to where we live but if we’re in the area we would go back again.

Had the beef sliders; friend had chicken sliders. While food was very good and service was excellent…very pricey. I think it was 14 or 15 for sliders and you get nothing with it. Nice place but probably won’t be back. Too many good restaurants around with more for your money.

The food was good, the drinks were okay. Kinda pricy. We had the bbq chicken and bison sliders. It was my daughter’s birthday and we had a brownie cake with ice cream which everyone enjoyed the most. Our server was great, very attentive. The restaurant was very quiet as it was the Holiday weekend, the hotel was empty. I would recommend this place.

Awesome food... Smoked Chicken wings and sauce was on point! The complementary house made chips and horseradish dip was incredible... I could make a meal of that. Chicken and waffles were good and my wife raved about the blueberry and baby kale salad. Great food and great service. Martina knew the menu and made great recommendations!... Highly recommend this spot because it is no longer the crappy steak house it used to be.

I believe the restaurant was extremely short staffed and they were training 2 people during our visit. We waited a long time for service. In fact after 20 minutes, my husband went to the bar to grab some drinks for us and we had our second drink at the bar as our server never returned to ask if we would like another drink. Food came quickly and we enjoyed the corn fritters, chicken and waffles and chicken pesto flatbread. Dessert of peach crumble was OK.
