Good for business meals

Several years ago, I decided that my future in the restaurant business would most likely not remain in the realm of fine dining and gourmands, but would rather lean towards the style of restaurant that I found myself frequenting most often - places that provided consistency and quality at a price that was fair for the quality of the food and experience. Public House plays to the comforts of good, solid food, while applying the principles of premium food products to a more casual setting. You will find all the fish is delivered from Foley’s in Boston, high quality steaks and a rotating selection of vegetable sides that are true to the region and season. You’ll also find a really good hamburger and fish sandwich, along with fun snacks and small plates that pair well with cocktails, beer and wine.
Welcome,
Nathan Lindley

We came for dinner. We both had drinks and desserts (we did not try an appetizer). I had the pot roast and got roasted beets with goat cheese as an additional side. My partner has the NY strip and fries. Both were delicious. The steak was perfectly cooked and had a nice grilled taste to it. My pot roast portion was nicely sized and had great flavor. We shared the creme brulee and key lime pie for dessert and both were excellent. Service was impeccable, with many great suggestions. This was an elevated dining experience but in a comfortable setting. Highly recommend.

Storm warnings and really ughly weather so like most restaurants were closing early to let employees home early. Got the last reservation for 7 PM. Greeted and welcomed us and seated us. Bartender’s old fashioned of the day was excellent. Server recommended the trout as his favorite. I have to admit he was right. Best I have ever had. Even though they had let some people go home early the service, food, place was outstanding. You won’t go wrong with this place. Cheers

We have enjoyed the Public House as our Chattanooga favorites. Tonight I feel the food quality was not as usual experience. Taste seemed to have changed. Ordered same items as in past and not as pleasing.
