The restaurant has an exquisite chef. Food is great, looks good and taste great.

Wanted to visit a place we usually don't go, so we found the PUBLic House. Excellent find, great food, atmosphere and service. For dinner, we split the Brisket Entree (beef brisket, peach BBQ, borracho bacon beans, summer vegetables, and jalapeno cheese cornbread). Washed it down with the Bruery Loakal Red Ale and red Sangria.

We have dined here a couple times for lunch meetings and it’s always been delicious. Our party enjoyed the halibut, fish tacos and a shrimp salad. The warm sourdough bread is nice before and during the meal. Our waitress, Michelle, was awesome! It’s nice to take clients to a spot that you don’t have to worry about the service! Stop by the seafood market when you leave for treats to cook at home.

Had a great lunch here. Started with a small cheese and meat plate and seriously it was loaded and would have been enough for lunch. I ordered a small chicken Caesar salad and my husband ordered a burger, both were very good but took a lot home for leftovers. Setting is very relaxing and enjoyable

We had a great breakfast before walking around old town. We were greeted by a very nice hostess when we walked in and seated on the patio. Our waitress was so pleasant and helpful and the food was delicious! We ordered the California Burrito, which my husband and I split because it is large. We also ordered Bloody Mary's which had just the right amount of spice. I would recommend Penfold's to everyone.Thank you for your review Susan. I am so happy to hear from the time you walked in you had a great experience. We appreciate your business and we can't wait to see you and your husband again for some bloodies. Best, Nick

My husband and I decided to try lunch at Bushfire Kitchen. It is a small restaurant and there was a line almost to the door. I got a grilled veggie bowl with mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts (first time trying brussel sprouts and they were so good). It was wonderful! My husband loved his BLT sandwich too. Wish there was more indoor seating, since it was chilly outside. It seems like a very busy place and feels a little crowded with the line of people standing right behind you while you are eating, but overall great homemade dishes. We will be back!

Reviewed By ladyzire

My first visit here. Met a friend for lunch. Traditionally on a person's first visit and your birthday they have a special hat you can wear. I chose not to but several others went along with tradition. The servers also do a little dance routine on occasion too. Very good service and food was good too. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich, it was served on a regular hamburger bun with lettuce, tomato and mayo and I really enjoyed it, chicken was moist too. I chose fresh fruit as my side which consisted of cantaloupe, honeydew, strawberries and grapes. The fruit was very sweet, very fresh and delicious. Prices were pretty good too along with good portion size. I will go back again.What a lovely review, thank you so much and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
