Aside from offering a decent array of vegetarian items and showing the promise of a menu with a clearer focus, the Public House's real strength is its beer selection and wine list. It offers a number of beers seldom seen in bottles at your average bar, let alone on tap, including Lucid Air Blonde Ale from Minnetonka and the super-hoppy Lucette Easy Rider from Menomonie, and a small, beautiful bar at which to sample them. With better visibility and more consistency in the quality of food coming out of the kitchen, the Public House could easily be the kind of restaurant you could introduce to your parents, but for now it may need to do a little soul-searching and hone in on exactly what it is that makes its food special.
