Publick House

I really wanted to like this place since I always pass by it and it always seems lively. I'll give the benefit of the doubt that maybe the day I went, may have been a bad day? To start, the prices are pretty high for how underwhelming the food is. For food, I ordered the grilled octopus appetizer, New York Strip steak cooked medium rare, and grilled scallops and it pains me to say I was not impressed. The steak was bland and burnt to a crisp on the outside and the rest of the components seemed lazy and underwhelming to me, a few slivered tomatoes and cubes of croutons was far too bland for the price. Grilled scallops were okay but the sauce that layer under it was corn in a cream sauce that tasted like canned corn. The octopus appetizer had a similar corn component under it. Last, the watermelon mezcal cocktail drink, was undrinkable. Overall spent close to $200 and I was extremely disappointed and underwhelmed with it all. There was a complete lack of flavor.nnAgain, I hate to give such a negative review but it was memorable for me and not in a good way. Again, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that it may have been a bad day, but I don't think I would try it again. The staff was overall really friendly otherwise and had great customer service.

Have to adjust my rating unfortunately. Took the family there to celebrate my son's first day on his new job, and we almost didn't make it home in time for him to run to the toilet and puke everything up. He apparently got some bad buffalo wings.nI called to alert the staff and was told sorry, I'll inform the kitchen. Nothing further. No offer to compensate or otherwise make things right. I know it was the wings because my son was feeling great, just hungry, before we sat down, and he only had the wings.He was the only one that ordered the wings: the rest of us ate other menu selections.

Tried this place once with a friend and I am addicted ever since. I like the awesome atmosphere and yummy food and beverages. Highly recommended.

Top quality experience from start to finish. Chef sourcing primarily local NJ produce, cheese and meats. Wine list is diverse for the collector to the novice to have a great time. Wonderful environment with fireplace and super friendly staff. Must try.

Great place, food, atmosphere and more importantly, the team at @ PH rock! Thanks again!
