The place? So cute! The service? Only if you like sassy retort. The food? As white as it gets. I was hoping for an amazing restaurant for where I could have a fantastic dinner with my mom before a show at the Vets. We got a generic hotel restaurant. Pretty in Pink was the best part of the night. That drink? So dang good. The rest? Eh. Lacking. The host was rude and condescending. The waitress while pleasant was MIA. The food took forever an was obviously sitting under a heat lamp. But somehow the fries were underdone. The crabcakes while had great consistency, did not have the flavor to keep it a good dish. The Caesar salad might as well have come from a shake bag. As said before the fries weren't fried enough. My mom said the burger was delish, so I'll give Public that. All in all, won't come again. My mom said she will but it might be for the atmosphere and age group of attendants. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $30–50 Food: 3 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 4

Very nice inhouse restaurant. Steve and 'Ray' were excellent staff and great personalities. My Manhattan was one of the best I ever had. The calamari app was big enough for at least 4-5 to share. Scallops were amazing (great plating) and the cioppino was beautiful. We ate at the bar as all the dinner reservations were taken because of a show next door. Call early!

I mean, just wow. I dined here with my family and it was an unforgettable experience. The food was decent, but the manager Chris was a very rude and hostile person. We had a minor issue that could have very easily been remedied. However, after bringing it to his attention we were yelled at and chewed out in front of other patrons of the restaurant. He made it a point to return to our table two more times and continue using harsh and aggressive language to harass my dinner party. Fortunately, the head waitress became aware of our problem and was very easily able to implement the fix needed. Lindsey (head waitress) was amazing, but we will not be returning due to the fear of further harassment by the manager Chris.

While the food was decent, regrettably the General manager Christopher Moore was about as obnoxious and pompous as they come. We had made reservations for this past weekend to celebrate a major milestone and had requested to be sat in a quiet corner. Upon arrival, we were sat at a table that was closest to the bar and to the entrance of the restaurant, which was terribly loud due to several tipsy/drunk women screeching by the bar. My father is hard of hearing which is why we originally requested to be sat further away from the general crowd. After a certain point it got so loud that no one could hear one another at the table, so we requested to be moved - which is a fairly normal request at any restaurant. My partner ended up going to talk to Christopher, to which he was met with a belligerent attitude and was blatantly rude to him and denied our request even after we mentioned that the reason we would like to move is because of my fathers inability to hear us from 1 ft away. We had spoken to our waitress several times at this point and she unfortunately was not able to move us due to Christophers refusal. At this point everyone was upset. We tried speaking to Christopher again, but then he proceeded to yell at us telling us that he has 100 + reservations that night and then proceeds to order all of us to sit down as if we were 5 year old's and then storms away. At that point we were ready to leave. Thankfully, our angel of a waitress Lindsey was able to eventually move us to a quiet table in the back that was open the whole time and is just kept empty for potential reservations. We were there for 3 + hours and noticed that there were at least 1-3 tables open throughout the night so there was no way he could not have accommodated us. Also, we would have been okay with the situation if he had approached us in a kinder manner but instead Christopher decided to go the most abrasive path possible. We went out for a celebration dinner and this is the kind of service we were met with. I have never been one to have issues at restaurants especially with the staff as I have worked in restaurants before and usually side with the staff in many instances but this was absolutely absurd. The one good thing I will say is that our waitress Lindsey was a sweetheart and did her best to accommodate us the whole night and very personable and nice. This situation was not her fault at all and I wish she was not caught up in the middle of it. Overall, I do not foresee myself going back to this establishment as for me it is not worth it to go back and relive the nightmare that is Christopher Moore.

Only had breakfast here as part of our hotel stay. Staff was unprofessional in general and there were little options for kids. We combined a few things (milk, egg, pancake, fruit cup) for our child and were charged $24 just for that. Breakfast food in general not made with much love. Ordered Huevos Rancheros and had to assemble them myself. Service Dine in Meal type Breakfast Price per person $20–30 Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3

Great Gatsby New Year's Eve. We didn't receive champagne for the toast nor did we have any wait staff approach with hor d'oeuvres seemed to only be going to the private parties, both were included in the ticket price. Very understaffed at the bar. Enjoyed the DJ. Would have been appropriate to include some 20's music in the mix.

Nice place. Good service. Damn, good burger! I had the Public Burger Medium rare and it had a ton of flame-broiled flavor while also being perfectly bloody. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Highly recommend! We had an excellent meal and service here! Our bartender was absolutely wonderful and made a great mock-tail from scratch for me. The food was outstanding and all the staff from the host to the busboy/food runner was excellent and friendly. Rare to find nowadays but this place did great all around!
