I moved to Port Richmond about six months ago and I have yet to find somewhere to satisfy me 100% That all changed tonight , I got the shrimp Alfredo entrée! It ended up being the most flavorful pasta dish I’ve had in a long time, thank God because I’ve been disappointed with every other place in the neighborhood. I’m smiling ear to ear over here with all these delicious appetizers as well!!! I’m so excited I felt that I should share publicly, which I never do. Do yourself a favor and order from Sean Thornton’s Public House right now!!!!
