Truly a wonderful dinning experience. Service was impeccable, atmosphere warm and pleasant, and the food was fantastic. Apps we had the baked calms and lobster bisque, both amazing. For our mains, we had the pork cheeks and rabbit leg, again top notch. Dessert was truly the cherry on top of the meal. My only feedback would be, they need to serve a glass of whiskey in a proper rocks glass and use large cube ice vs, crushed iced.

Always hesitate to leave a positive review because it only means a favorite eating place will get even more jammed. That said, we like coming to the Public House. The atmosphere is relaxed, the food is plentiful and generally quite delicious. Julia our server was especially friendly, but without intruding. After taking our orders, she checked back several times to see if everything was ok and/or if we needed anything more. (On other occasions, Marsha has been great, but she does not work on Saturdays). The food was good. New England Clam Chowder. French Onion Soup & Chopped Wedge Salads were delicious. Wings were good; Chicken Picatta less so because the lemon sauce with capers tasted definitely like an add on instead of being infused into the chicken. All in all, however, it was another good evening... and a good dinner. We'll be back!

Neighborhood gem - lots of locals (we were not) and reminded me of the taverns/bars of the 70's/80's. We felt very comfortable there.
