    Lunch service was great and our server was very knowledgeable about the different kinds of blanc Tequila. Excellent margarita. Food was very good, although a bit stingy with the cheese on my sliders. :) We will go there again and I've already told several friends about it.

    We were sat down right away. Ordered a couple of drinks and two entrees. Staff were friendly and very fast. The food was delicious. She had the lobster roll and I had the chicken schnitzel. Both dishes were so good! Overall it was very good and I recommend it for a nice dinner with friends or family

    We had originally requested indoor seating but discovered the college football playoff games were on so asked if we could sit outside instead due to the sound level inside. We were quickly accommodated and the young man who seated us quickly brought over a heater and placed it next to our table. The drink selections were excellent as were the food options. We were all pleased with our choices. I ordered the butternut squash and kale salad, as I always do, and it was delicious, as usual. Our server, Conner, was attentive yet not overbearing. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and never felt rushed. We will be back!

    I visited Public House 131 for the first time last night. The place is smaller than I expected, but friendly and welcoming. We were seated immediately, and our waiter appeared fairly quickly. The service was friendly, prompt and spot on. I like the menu - it's concise, but not overdone, and they have an excellent selection of whiskeys and other spirits. I had an Old Fashioned, and ordered the pan seared salmon for dinner, which was very good, although the salmon was seasoned a little salty for my taste. My son had the fish tacos, which he enjoyed and said were very good. Noise level was a little loud, but not surprising considering the the hard floors, walls and tables - but not overly so. Overall we enjoyed our visit to PH131, and I plan to visit again.

    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!

    This was our second visit and we'll keep coming back. I had the loco moco, which may be my favorite entree. It's simply delicious. My wife had a burger - I don't recall which one - but she enjoyed it and she is very particular about burgers. There are several other entrees I'd like to try on future visits. The hostess greeted us warmly and our server took great care of us. This is a good place to watch sports if that's your thing.
