    Always a great choice for excellent New England meals in an historic setting. Our server, Grace, was especially kind and gave us plenty of time to talk and enjoy our lunches. The Bakery is a must on the way out!

    We always enjoy the Publick House, great atmosphere and good food. The temp in the room tends to run on the chilly side but the server was very accommodating and eliminated a draft that blew directly on our table. Menu is somewhat limited but food is delicious. Basket of assorted breads, sticky buns and rolls starts off the meal.

    Love the ambience and the food. I wish they would add a few more things to their menu or change it seasonally, however, there’s always something that we find that is really good. I had a butternut squash ravioli with a maple cream sauce and it was delicious.
