    The ambience is dignified and historic and the building is in a beautiful park setting. The stone walls and heavy beams in the ceiling hark back to the past. The food is always wonderful there and the service is excellent. The atmosphere is elegant but casual. It's one of my favorite restaurants and they serve a terrific cosmo!

    Portion sizes were extremely underwhelming and the food was actually horrible. I’ll never be coming back. The lobster bisque had 0 lobster in it and was watered down. The shrimp cake was 2 bites worth, the surf & turf was a horrible cut of steak and burnt shrimp. I don’t think I’ve had a worse experience nearly ever in terms of quality and taste and preparation. Horrendous.

    Our whole evening was terrific. The valentines menu was perfect for the dinner. The appatizers were good. Then came our soup or salad. The main course I picked surf ad turf. My steak was perfectly cooked as were the shrimp. Loved the mashed potatoes too.Dessert was a cheesecake or decedent chocolate mousse. Everything was delicious. We will be back soon. Our server was always stopping by the table to see if we needed anything.

    Our waiter was very slow. The shrimp cake was good, but we only got one to share. The lobster bisque was more like a cheese soup. There was no lobster in it. The fillet was decent and the moose that we picked came in a small wine glass for two people to share, which was pretty sad. We were put in the back room, so the ambience was more of just for walls with a bunch of tables in them, it was not what we signed up for we were hoping to sit in the main room.

    We went for Valentine’s Day. Ordered a medium well steak and it was beyond well done - very tough and chewy. My husband’s steak was cold when it arrived. The ambiance in the main dining room was great, but we were not seated there. Instead, we were put in a room off the side that might as well have been in a banquet hall. The waitstaff cleared our utensils and forgot to bring new utensils not once, but twice. Overall, it was ok, but not worth the $135 price tag. I have been to fine dining establishments, this isn’t it.

    Waitress good. Food is always very good. They had increased the number of tables for ValDay and this made it crowded and noisy. Not expected at Public Landing. Drink selection was extensive and somewhat adventuresome!

    The wait staff was attentive but not intrusive. The serving of each item was timed perfectly. Empty dishes were removed shortly after being put to the side without appearing staff was hovering waiting for us to finish. The steak and asparagus were tender. The pasta was delicious.

    This is a neighborhood treasure. We used to travel all the way from Frankfurt to come here, but now we live in Lockport and feel very lucky to have this nearby.
