    Love this hidden gem. The staff are fabulous, the food is delicious with beautiful presentation and their craft cocktails are magic. Amazing happy hour and a fun tipsy tea. Don’t forget to try the scones. Gorgeous outside area as well especially when the weather is nice. Haven’t tried the Sunday brunch yet but I can’t wait to get there soon.

The food is absolutely delicious, with fresh, high-quality ingredients that you can taste in every bite. I also love how the menu changes occasionally, keeping things fresh and exciting while still offering reliable favorites. The ambiance is fantastic—sometimes it’s a quiet, relaxing spot, and other times it has an energetic buzz. No matter the vibe, it’s always a positive and enjoyable experience. The restaurant is also impeccably clean, which is another big plus. I highly recommend Public House 131 for any occasion—it’s truly a gem!

    This place has been a gem for the better part of 3 decades. Chef's have come and gone but it stays consistently great. Great food, outstanding service and the best wine list to value that you can find in the whole city. We had not been in a while and during dinner we had to ask ourselves why. Try it, you'll love it.
