Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem
Good for business meals

Several years ago, I decided that my future in the restaurant business would most likely not remain in the realm of fine dining and gourmands, but would rather lean towards the style of restaurant that I found myself frequenting most often - places that provided consistency and quality at a price that was fair for the quality of the food and experience. Public House plays to the comforts of good, solid food, while applying the principles of premium food products to a more casual setting. You will find all the fish is delivered from Foley’s in Boston, high quality steaks and a rotating selection of vegetable sides that are true to the region and season. You’ll also find a really good hamburger and fish sandwich, along with fun snacks and small plates that pair well with cocktails, beer and wine.
Welcome,
Nathan Lindley

Great time had by entire party. Little noisy, but it was at the height of the lunch crowd. The wedge salad with blackened salmon was delicious. The Caesar salad with grilled chicken tenders looked amazing and the plate was clean at the end. The other person ordered the Public House Fried Chicken and the chicken was juicy and crunchy. Having unlimited cold water is a plus. Asked for lemon slices on the side and they were provided. Server was great and came back several times to check how we were doing.

We have been here before and have found the bar area to be better. The $42 steak was under cooked and when sent back the new steak came back over done. The server didn’t understand how steaks are supposed to be cooked. The food was ok but for top restaurants it could have been better. The cesear salad was delicious.

Wait staff was very friendly. It seemed to be a crew who supported our table more so than our actual server. This was my second visit to Public House. Food was great.
