I should've known my visit wasn't  going to fare well when our waitress mentioned \"We've been open for a week and working out all the kinks\". Unfortunately, the kinks were not worked out by the time of our visit.\nThe interior is warm and inviting and caught our eye when we walked by. There is a bar as you walk in with some seating and the a larger dining room in the back. When I saw \"public house\" as part of the restaurant's name, I was expecting a menu more focus on casual fare with a few sandwich options. Not the case here. With entrees in the high teens-low 20's and appetizers hovering around $10, the bill can get pretty high pretty quick. \nWhile the craft cocktails were worthy of their price point, the food was definitely not. I was impressed when the waitress steered my daughter away from the $15 adult mac and cheese and towards the version on the kids menu (she thought the adult maybe had too strong of flavors). I was not impressed to find out the bland kids version (served with ice cream) was $14. This is an absolute joke. My girlfriend went went the clans and mussels while I opted for the whitefish sticks appetizer and squash soup. The mussel/clam combo had a nice broth and served with grilled bread for dipping. But, for perhaps 7 mussels and another 6 clams, $16 is priced too high. My whitefish appetizer (with homemade chips) was fine but again overpriced ($10). On the other hand, my squash soup missed the mark severely. It took on the taste of the kale and was finished inexplicably with balsamic vinegar-completely masking the flavor of the creamy squash. \nParking is hard to come by (there is a space for patrons about a half block away) and with price points this high (and not having the food to match), I would be surprised if it lasts even a year. A shame as its a beautiful space.
