I'm a fan of Restaurant Impossible so when in Vegas with friends staying nearby at MGM we had to try Public House. Unfortunately this place is the type of place that you normally see on Restaurant Impossible. Robert Irvine would be embarrassed that this place has his name on it. From food to service it was a mess. It is a nice place inside, just the food and service are poor.
For three couples we started with the French Onion fondue. It was like a thick onion soup served with bread. The fondue itself was very good however it was served with 6 small slices of under toasted bread. The amount of bread was small compared to the amount of fondue so we asked for more bread. They charged us $5 for 6 small circles of bread.
On to the entrees. Grilled chicken sandwich with watercress,avocado, brie and fig marmalade was overly sweet and missing chicken on one half of the sandwich. I showed the waiter and he asked what I wanted him to do .I again showed him that half was missing chicken. He said he would bring a piece of grilled chicken. He comes back 10 minutes later to tell me that the chef says it will be about 20 minutes to get another piece of chicken for the sandwich. Really ? Instead of waiting since we had a show to catch we were offered a free dessert. I would have like the chicken sandwich that I ordered.
Shoestring fries served with the sandwich were an obviously frozen product, barely warm, no seasoning. Robert Irvine would taste one on his show, say "garbage" and throw the fries. Complete failure.
Margarita pizza. Arrives with warm edges but cold center and bottom. Obviously another frozen product. It was like eating a frozen supermarket pizza.
Salad of roasted vegetables was a pile of mush. I dont even know how they sent this out of the kitchen.
BLT wasnt bad but it wasnt good either. Think of the BLT that you make yourself at home. Nothing special, just OK.
Overall this place was a mess. Waiter was nice but had no clue how to deal with a customer who receives poor quality food. I do hope Robert Irvines reputation doesnt take a hit because of this place. It really is like a place that he goes in to fix on Restaurant Impossible.
If you want a good meal avoid it.
