Publick House

Visited the Publick House because friends of mine are always crazy about it. Went on a Saturday night and the place was packed. Great atmosphere when you first walk in. Waited a little to be seated but from what I hear that is the normal. Ordered some appetizers and they were all delicious. (Tuna Pizza is a must!!) Main course was just as good as the appetizers. I had the Hanger Steak and its was phenomenal! Cooked exactly how I asked for and the sides were delicious as well. The beer selection at the Publick House is another highlight! So many choices and the prices aren't ridiculous. The last thing that made my experience great was the staff. Very professional staff from the servers to the bussers. Our server was very well educated of the menu and helped us with any questions we had. We spilt drinks twice (we might have had one too many!) and both times a very nice young boy came to our table and cleaned the mess straight away. We had jokes with him and he continued his business. Overall, outstanding experience at the Publick House, and I for sure will be coming back for as long as I can.

Surprisingly good just about every time.  Don;t be fooled by the pub atmosphere.  While the bar and beers are good, the food is up there with upscale local restaurants

Neighborhood Gem ..... I have been enjoying the Public House since moving to Westfield, NJ over a year ago.  I find the atmosphere in this upscale restaurant and bar very comfortable, relaxing, friendly and warm.  Relaxing with a glass of wine near their fireplace will definitely make you feel welcome, especially during the cold-weather months. Although I probably wouldn't place a family classification on this restaurant, well-behaved children are often found dining with parents, especially at the early dinner hour.  It's great to be able to enjoy a conversation without obnoxious background noise.  During summer months, they often open large windows that provide an "outdoor cafe" feeling. The Public House service is always excellent. The wait staff is well trained, knowledgeable and very professional.   The prime steaks are outstanding.  The fish and chips are the best.  Great food.   They have a respectable full service bar with many fine wines by the glass and great beers.  Their newest draft Racer 5 IPA from Bear Republic Brewing is A+ rated.  With an ABV 7.0 it is a very impressive brew.   The place is always packed on weekends and many weeknights.  Plan to arrive early if you want a table without waiting.  Don't be surprised if the owner manager visits your table. It is very clear that 100% customer satisfaction is their goal.
