    This was one of the best seafood restaurants I have ever been to. Is it in Amarillo? Wow. The snapper cakes were divine, and the gumbo was elegant, understated, yet bold. The shrimp was soft and buttery, while the roux was fantastic. The shrimp and grits were the best I have ever had; they put Commander's Palance to shame. The shrimp were plump yet buttery and tender and absorbed the flavor of the roux. I am in shock and awe.

    My wife and I went to Public House to celebrate our 44th wedding anniversary. We always enjoy a meal at Public House. My wife had a margarita with whiskey, and I may have enjoyed that more than she did. Our appetizers were crab and cream cheese wontons and drunken mushrooms. For our meal, my bride ordered mac/cheese with meatloaf. I ordered my "go to" favorite BLT. That may not seem celebratory to some, but I do love that BLT! Everything was delicious, but if I were to do that meal over again, I would have passed on the drunken mushrooms only because they are rich (yet delicious) and I had to restrict my attention to my BLT. Great food, great ambiance, great service...that makes for a very Happy Anniversary for us. And I almost forgot the carrot cake. I lack the right words to describe the taste, so I'll go with, "delicious."
