    Service was great and it's a beautiful place. Mothers day menu was limited which isn't unusual. However none of the offerings were very good. Our party had most of the things on the menu but nothing stood out.

    Great restaurant. We had reservations for 12:45 but we were running late. Called the restaurant and they were able to change by reservation to 2:00. They were very busy. Our waitress Debbie B was not only wonderful she was also funny too. Our good was delicious and came out very quickly. I had the surf and turf. Steak was cooked perfectly. My husband had the turkey and stuffing. He said it was very good.

    Food was very bland and not creative. It used to be excellent here, I don't know if it was just because of mother's Day. But I didn't even eat my dinner, only one bite. The appetizers were not good, bland and low-grade. Even the drinks from the bar were watered down and boring.

    For a special Mother’s Day menu, the food was subpar and not worth the visit. We were considering this restaurant for an upcoming banquet event and have decided to go a different direction.

    Public Landing is a true gem in the Lockport community. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable with views overlooking the courtyard from the main dining room. The food is incredible every time and they consistently offer top-notch service. Our family of 8 went for Mother's Day dinner and our server was attentive to each of our needs. The restaurant was naturally busy but the food and drinks came out quickly and our orders were spot on. Public Landing never disappoints.

    The food was good but a little overpriced for what you got, and the lamb and duck that we received were both a little overcooked
