The Public has had mixed reviews, with some diners disappointed by the food and service quality, labeling it as overpriced and underwhelming. However, others have praised the restaurant's beautiful decor and attentive servers. The menu offers a variety of dishes, with some standouts like the Kingfish and unique Peruvian fusion options. Despite some inconsistencies in food quality, Public seems to have potential, particularly for those looking for a chic dining experience with delicious drinks and a laid-back atmosphere. It might be worth another visit to try out different dishes and cocktails.
