    I’ve been eyeing this restaurant for a while and wanted to come since people dining there looked like they were enjoying the atmosphere and food. I was not disappointed We were celebrating two birthdays. The food was very good - spiced well, great value, large servings and very reasonably priced. The service was excellent - rarely had to request refills - he was there and taking care of it before we asked. The patio provided our own private party - gas heaters for those who requested them and everyone just got to relax, be served and enjoyed each others’ company. We definitely will be back - thank you for a fun and great afternoon.

    Public House 131 never disappoints! The service is consistently outstanding—staff are attentive, friendly, and always make you feel welcome. 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!
