   Our waiter Nicholas was attentive & knowledgeable about the menu and the distinct flavors of the dishes we inquired about! We loved the shrimp & Grits, the asparagus cream soup was outstanding as well as the braised beef pot roast! Public House did not disappoint us in any way! In addition they gave us an anniversary gift of a free dessert to take home🥰

   Saturday night, 6:45 reservation. Ordered the nightly special, meatballs with pappardelle. Came out as a dish of over cooked macaroni (pappardelle) and cheese with meatballs on the side that had not been reheated. Not worth the price and not well executed.

   Doug, I'm so sorry to hear that your experience at Public House was not what you or I would have hoped for. We pride ourselves on setting a very high bar for our food and service. It's clear we did not meet that bar during your visit. I hope that you will give us another opportunity to show you the food and service we are known for, and that when you do you will let me know so that I can ensure we represent ourselves well. Please feel free to reach out to me directly at the restaurant to let me know more about your experience and allow me to personally apologize. - Andy

   Great place for any occasion. Wide variety on the menu…..we had pork tenderloin, burger, grits, deviled eggs, steak and all were delish. Staff/chef/mgr very accommodating to special dietary considerations. Definitely will be returning again….we love this restaurant!

   We used to frequent this place because the food was pretty good, and it felt like great value. My wife and I previously would go there and each get an entree, her a glass of wine, and share an app and it would be about 50 bucks. We went yesterday and spent almost 90 dollars for 2 entrees, a glass of wine, 2 waters, and no app, or side... They now add in the LBD tax which doesn't help but that was a price increase that now puts this restaurant at another level I don't think makes it worth it anymore. Not only that we got put in a room with a ventilation duct directly above us blowing down and my wife was freezing.. the table next us must have known because they had jackets.. it was also so noisy and such bad echoes in there from the people talking in the small space it made it not fun to try and talk to my wife. I think we will skip this place from now on and if we are going to spend 100 dollars for 2 people go to a nicer place with better ambiance.

   HD our daughter’s graduation party here and it was perfect! The food was great and servers took care of us from beginning to end. Loved the room we were able to reserve to make it more private!

   Unfortunately, at times the street noise is oppressive

   My husband participated in the Chattanooga 70.3 and this is the restaurant he choose for dinner the night before the race. Our apps were the roasted quail with cornbread stuffing and the roasted beets with goat cheese. Delicious! Dinners were the salmon; fried chicken; and the Carolina trout. All served warm and tasting just as they should. Service was moved quickly but we never felt rush. There were quite a few athletes dining that evening which is a testament to the fresh nature of the food.

    After a week in Chattanooga, this was our favorite place to eat. Great food choice and high quality of local cuisine. The signature cocktail was to die for.
