Excellent service! Nicole was a phenomenal server. The pot roast was delicious and a very generous portion! We’ve been here a few times, but celebrating our anniversary today was my favorite.

I hadn’t been here in a long time probably since previous owners. Truthfully me personally I was disappointed with my filet…it was so so. I thought my meal was overpriced. However my friend had the schnitzel and I had a bite and thought it was very good

The Public Landing is a beautiful restaurant located in Lockport, IL. The appetizer was very good; mushrooms stuffed with dressing and sausage. The main courses were varied; the gnocchi and shrimp was fair but the stir fry was poor. The vegetables were soggy and the rice was mushy. When we told the wait staff she responded rudely but did take the stir fry off the bill. The atmosphere of the Public Landing is usually quiet and reserved; however last night, we were "treated" to an over served patron at the bar yelling obscenities.

Everyone really enjoyed their choices of food, the decor and service. Only warning is to be sure to go hungry for large portions.

Dinner at the Public Landing was excellent as usual. Our party of four enjoyed the beef stroganoff and filet medallions. The French onion soup was perfect and I tried the crispy pork belly for an appetizer. It was really good. This was a birthday celebration so I received a nice scoop of chocolate mousse. But that’s not all. We also dug into a crème brûlée. Prices are very reasonable. Christmas decorations were all in place. Service was excellent. We had a great time. Oh yes. We’ll be back.

I have been to this restaurant over the years and this time - - I had asked for a good view as I was celebrating two birthdays - -- We were seated in a corner without a view! Food was fair at best! Rice was mushy, stuffed mushrooms were overcooked, and the coconut shrimp was nothing to rave about as it was dry! Unfortunately, NOT a great experience!
