    Every was great from food to service. Your wine prices are too high and you should have complimenter bread at all tables. Don’t be so cheap

    As usual the food and service was great. We jumped on the April Lobster month. But two of us chose the roast duck. Public Landing is always a dependable special dinner spot.

    We had a wonderful waitress (Nicole) who was kind, knowledgeable and patient. She came around our table the perfect amount. I went with my mother in law and father in law who can be quite difficult on wait staff (I chalk it up to their generation honestly lol), but they complimented the service! Which says a lot! :) Nicole made it a great birthday dinner for my mother in law. Thank you Nicole!

    We took friends to Public Landing for their first time. They loved it, as do we. Everyone liked their meals, and I always seem to order the Thanksgiving Feast, which is a treat at any time of the year. We started out with the pretzel bread which is fantastic. Our server, Debbie, was one of the best. She gave us good recommendations and was very accommodating. We will ask for her next time! You can't go wrong with choosing Public Landing.

    We dined on a Saturday evening at prime time. Service was excellent. We were seated in a adjacent banquet area. More attention could be paid to improve the comfort of the chairs in this room and tend to the ambience. We ordered the Branzino over sautéed spinach and jasmine rice topped with capers and fried perch dinner. The branzino was tender and a nice portion and not overcooked; it would have benefited from additional attention to spice or presentation. The perch was tasty while hot; great tartar sauce.

    Food was great as usual. Our server was very nice and professional. Steaks were cooked at the proper temperature. Great Downtown Lockport treasure. Food is always amazing and great for celebrations.
