Our food as usual was delicious. I had the new Delmonico Ribeye. So good. My wife had the 6 Oz filet mignon, oh yeah. Unlimited salad is so good. However, the service caps it off. Fantastic!

About the restaurant

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,

Food is always the very best. The noise level inside makes it harder to always enjoy the conversation. Will try to sit outside next time with our table of 6.

Our server, Katy was so incredibly kind and friendly. We had such a wonderful experience! To top it off the food is phenomenal. It is clearly created and made with love! We even got an opportunity to speak with the owner, Robert. He is equally as amazing! Highly recommend! We will be back as soon as possible!
