Public Kitchen Reading

We just stopped by and we're lucky enough to find a place at the bar. This was our first time at the public kitchen and the menu had a good selection of sandwiches and meals. They also had specials on meals and drinks. Being our first time there and having so many tempting items on the menu, the wait staff and bartenders were very helpful in their descriptions and tastes for to help us decide on items for dinner. The special grouper for dinner was outstanding. And my wife had the salmon which was one of her favorites of all time. For dessert they had a special seasonal pumpkin lava cake with my statement being "I wouldn't eat that whole thing" turning Out to false. They had several beers on tap with a few locals crafts and the standard selections. They also have a great craft, cocktail and

Nice experience, good food; though wish the lighting was a little better. It was a bit dim reading the menu (saw others using their phone flashlight). I had the baked haddock and sweet potato fries which was delicious. Staff was very friendly. Will go back another time to try other options.

I ordered the steak tips. They didn't look like steak tips. Looked like they took a piece of steak and cut it into 4 piece. There were tough and hard. The asparagus was not cooked. Steak tips are made from sirloin flank or a tri-tip.

Went for the first time and very impressed. Food was reasonably priced. Service was great. But the real reason to go is the food. Someone paid attention in culinary class. Seriously, everything was cooked perfectly and the dishes were a nice mix of subtle flavors. Portions left my wife and I complaining about how stuffed we were.😃 Really surprised with how good it was. Definitely going back.

Service was a little slow, but polite. Food was subpar. The fried pickles were good but the truffles fries were burnt and flavorless. The fig and pear flatbread was inedibly sweet- sweet fig jam, sweet pears, sweet honey. I assumed the goat cheese would balance these flavors but there were only a few crumbles. Work on your flavor balance please! Especially with prices this high.
