Our recent visit to Public House was good, but not great—a step down from our last time there. The stunning lake view remains the biggest draw, easily a five-star experience. The patio and exterior, however, have lost some of their appeal since our last visit and could use some upkeep.
While we enjoyed the view from the patio, we were bothered by a lot of yellow jackets (like everywhere this time of year), which made it a bit uncomfortable. We split an order of chicken fingers, which were fine but not homemade, and the fries were a letdown. We were expecting fresh-cut fries as the menu stated, but they were the seasoned variety that many places are switching to. It was a shame we couldn’t stay for the live music that was setting up as we left. Overall, it’s a solid choice for the view, but the food and atmosphere don’t quite match up to what they once were.

Beautiful view! The reason I give two stars is because of the quality of the food. Hardly any freshness to anything. I didn’t get a picture of the tased but they tasted canned. I had a hard time finishing the food because the texture, flavor and freshness was just not worth it. Prices were also high!!
The outside sitting area definitely needs to be cleaned and freshened up. Tons of cobwebs and kind of dirty and run down feeling. Again the view was beautiful though!!

We stopped in on our way back from a weekend getaway, the weather was perfect for outdoor seating and the views of the lake were perfect for a light lunch. Service was good, as they were busy but managed to keep up and the food was good for the price. Would recommend if your in the area, this is one of a few that have nice water views!

Food was decent but very pricey. I had the broiled cajun fish. It was seasoned nicely. BF had the ribeye. We went there expecting the prime rib dinner listed on the website but they don’t serve it. Tables has no salt/ pepper or steak sauce. Asked for lemon, never got it. While the space is large we were sitting on top of the people next to us and another couple that came in were arms length from us rest of room empty. More attention paid to bar than restaurant patrons. Go if you have no other choice.

Our 1st time going to this restaurant. We really enjoyed it. The scenic view of the lake was very nice, definitely would be prettier in the warm weather outside on the deck. We shared the Cheese grits with shrimp and the beef on weck egg rolls. The Shrimp and grits were delicious but you gotta try those egg rolls if you want something different and delicious! We’ll be back when it’s warner weather.

Took my mom for a birthday dinner, and we were able to get seated almost immediately. The exterior of the place definitely betrays how nice the quality of the food is, lol. The view of the lake is definitely nice as well since the place right of the water.
We all ordered different things on the menu, but everyone enjoyed what they had for the most part, although my partner felt the coleslaw was a bit bland with her fish fry. Fish was good though!
We got a shared appetizer of the fried shrimp and those were delicious. That dipping sauce was bomb!
I had the French onion burger, which was one of the specials for the day, and it was very yummy and I would order again.
I can’t recall what the drink I had was, but it was like a lemonade style cocktail. It was very good and definitely felt the alcohol in it.

Wow… I almost don’t have words to say how amazing this local restaurant is. The food is so fresh and out of this world!! Everything was packed with flavor and more amazing than you’d imagine! It’s a diamond in the rough – the owner served us and he was just fantastic the entire time. You can tell he loves this place and is very passionate about everything related to this place. He opened the patio for us and the view on the lake was just gorgeous and the seating arrangements were perfect. 10/10 and we plan to come back all the time!

Sat outside at high top tables by the bar, very nice view of Lake Erie, & City of Buffalo. Frank was our server, he was quick, & very hospitable. Food was good, nice sized portions, & fresh french fries are always a plus. We ordered Lobster Bisque, Bacon Bourbon Jam Scallops, Pasta NOLA, Mahi-Mahi Tacos, & Sangria

We had my daughter’s baby shower here this past weekend. We had the breakfast buffet, Mimosa bar, omelette station. Everything was delicious. People really enjoyed the breakfast potatoes.The service was wonderful. Sara, the owner, was terrific. She was very accommodating, helpful and a pleasure to work with. I apologize that I can’t think of the server’s name, but she was very good also.We had several feedback from guests saying it was the best baby shower they had been to.

Food was delicious and our waitress, Jordan, was amazing. She checked on us pretty frequently to see if we needed anything. The scenery was beautiful as well! Would definitely go back.
