Our party of four came to this excellent restaurant for lunch on Canada Day (July 1st). The…read morerestaurant had an appealing sidewalk dining area set up with an awning, sculptures, and flowers (See photo). We walked into the restaurant for a look and the decor inside was beautiful as well. It was such pleasant weather that we elected to dine outdoors. Our server, Myriam, was friendly, personable, and attentive. She spoke English very well, and brought us English menus as well as French menus. I got the seafood crepe and my husband ordered the mushroom crepe, and we shared. Both crepes were fantastic! The melted cheeses were creamy and smooth, and the crepes themselves were the perfect texture--not too thin and not too thick. The entrees came with soup (I choose lentil soup) and a small mixed-greens salad with dressing. We both opted for raspberry vinaigrette, and enjoyed how light it was with just a touch of sweetness. The other two diners in our group both ate sausages and said they were superb! It was the kind of meal that had us all commenting "oh wow, this food is really really good!" the whole time we were eating. All four of us agreed that we highly recommend eating here!

We heard of the Kingdom trails but didn't realize how much we'd love the area and all it has to offer. The Publick house is off the main street and near the trails/Mike's Tiki Bar. It's a cool old structure/barn that has a lot of charm if you appreciate the preserved nature of old places! There's plenty of parking nearby or in the Tiki bar lot. Bikers everywhere and the place was packed. We got lucky and were seated immediately around 7:30 on Saturday evening. We'd biked all day so we were starving and started things off with poutine. We also added on some burgers and mac n' cheese. It's bar food well done because everything was delicious. The poutine was massive and the 3 of us devoured that dish. My burger had some maple syrup and was unbelievable. Our waitress was phenomenal! Great vibe, great visit and reasonably priced - thank you Publick!

I'm skeptical when a restaurant self-identifies as a "gastropub". The term is overused to the point…read moreof cliche these days but in this case it seemed right. The food wasn't just the standard pub fare; everything we tried that day was excellent. I had fish tacos and French onion soup. Two flour tortillas, packed with fried haddock, coleslaw, and a spicy remoulade, served with lime wedges. The tortillas were toasted for extra flavor and held together well, easily holding the generous fish portions and wet coleslaw. The fish was fresh and the batter was light and crispy. Portion size was reasonable. The onion soup was outstanding. The broth was full-bodied and rich and seemed homemade, not from canned stock - though I can't say for sure. It was a bit salty like most, but the seasonings (I noted thyme and pepper) balanced it. The cheese on top (Swiss I think) was nicely browned, the onions sweet and caramelized, and there were plenty of toasted croutons made from a French baguette. Scallions on top added color, some crunch, and completed the dish. When I got the bill I was pleased to see the soup was only $3 not $8 as listed on the menu, because they treated it as a substitute for the fries normally served with the tacos. Which was fine as I didn't really need fries - and I had some of the wife's anyway, which were very good. The wife had The Clothier: a sandwich with marinated fried chicken, pepper jack cheese, candied jalapenos, smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato, and house-made spicy ranch. Excellent. For a drink I had a Citizen's Cider on tap, one of my favorites. Beers on tap - of which there were many - and the cider are offered in 16 and 22 ounce sizes. The menu had lots of options. The expected pub standards and also some unusual items liked fried green beans, tomato artichoke bisque, and an extensive baked mac & cheese selection. The desserts included "Our Famous Twiggie", a cookie (choose from 3) topped with ice cream, two kinds of syrup, and whipped cream. The cookie is baked to order and takes 15 minutes! The interior looked really nice, but the day was so pleasant we sat outside on the street-front patio, across from the St. Albans city park. It was so pretty with the bountiful floral arrangements in the park and on the sidewalks. I know it's not the restaurant's doing, but it really contributed to the ambience. Some other points to mention: The inside walls are covered with a rotating selection of local art, with the featured artist changing periodically. I don't know if the art is for sale or for display only. And the events calendar listed "Wine Wednesday" throughout August and September: 1/2 price bottles of wine. That's an event I would support!

They said it depends on the song. I asked to be seated in the main room and the hostess told us that when something opens up she's would let us know so we could move but she never returned. When we left there were plenty of seats available in the front. We certainly would have stayed and had more drinks after our meal to enjoy the music. On to the food. We basically all ordered the same thing in a different form! Haha! It was the Vermonter where you got your main dish with sautéed apples and maple bacon jam. We got the Mac and cheese, the wrap, and a burger on a gluten free bun. We were impressed with their gluten free options and the bun was so good, my daughter was nervous it was not gluten free! It was! And she felt great afterwards. All the food was good, the drinks we had were good, and the service was good. The place was cute and looked like a lot of fun if you were in the front room!

The house smash burger was ok, the house sauce is yellow and kind of strange. The fries were meh but could be crispier or double fried. My wife ordered the nachos with pulled smoked chicken for $19 and they were pretty terrible. First there was enough for at least 6 people; they should cut the portion to 1/3 the size and charge $8.50. They were very dry and whatever cheese was on it wasn't melted. Even the chips were smoked and too overcooked. Stay away. The floors are dirty and the paint is peeling. We had to wait about 10 minutes for a second cocktail (margarita for $16??!). Will definitely not return.
