We had an event here in the private dining room upstairs and it was exceptional. The staff made us feel so welcome. The food - uh-mazing (only remembered to take photos of nibbles + dessert, mains were gone so quickly). We ordered pretty much all of the small plates; the curry peanuts and warmed olives are awesome drinking food if you were just going for a tipple. We had the KFD 'Kentucky-Fried Duck' and it was as ridiculous as it sounds, for mains we had the pork and lamb - and desserts; do yourself a favour and order all 3 (plus the cheese, while you're at it) - they were a bit spesh. Thank you so much Public for being so warm and accomodating with my 9 wk old baby too; made the event so m...
I enjoyed a family birthday dinner at this fabulously atmospheric restaurant. The food is creative with influences from Asia, the Middle East, the Caribbean and the US with their tongue in cheek KFD (Kentucky Fried Duck) a highlight and far superior to it's namesake. The menu is designed for sharing so we were able to sample many of the dishes. Even my fussy, spice-averse father enjoyed all the food and I was very grateful the chili was on the side for the Jamaican Jerk Chicken. The wine list is extensive and well curated. The service was friendly and efficient and they ensured a wonderfully, memorable birthday dinner.
I read many great reviews re Public, so decided to take my partner there for a date night. The service was fantastic, we were given a quiet table at the bar immediately. Then I saw the wine list prices!! I can live with $15 for a glass of wine.... Then we were ready to be seated at our table. I do not believe that our table could be any closer to the table next to us, without them being joined. With 2 gentlemen seated so close beside us, I felt we were seated at a table with strangers!! So much for a romantic night out!!
Had a business lunch meeting & chose to have a tapas style lunch. We chose a number of dishes for the three of us. Good food, in particular KFD. Service was a bit slower as the guests left & we were one of only a couple of tables left. Only feedback was that the dishes came out with 4 pieces in each dish when there were 3 of us sharing; I wonder if they could have suggested upsizing to 6 for each dish (obviously for a higher price) so we could all have a couple of pieces of each?

Food was spectacular. We had the group banquet so got to taste a few of their main dishes available on the menu. The chicken with goats cheese and carrots was my fave - great flavours. Pork belly was perfectly cooked. The slow cooked beef with slaw and chipotle was also delish. KFD was crisp and tender. Service was great, never wanted for anything. Will definitely return with more friends to spread the word about Public.
This restaurant has a new approach to their menu. Choose from here and there as there are no entrees, mains etc. Plus, just to add interest, one dish incorporates worms and another dish has insects. This restaurant is imaginative and innovative. The food was delicious, deliciously different, and the staff were very competent and personal. This restaurant gave us a great experience and we'll return for sure.
Public, What can I say, it was a truly amazing restaurant, loved the food ! Loved the vibes, had very good customer service, and an excellent description of each dish without using a script, the Kentucky fried duck was cooked to perfection! I would always recommend this place for a date or even to dine in 10/10
Great service. Right from walking in the door. A foyer to a large commercial building. Good ambiance. Good wine list. Modern dining with share plates recommended. Crispy Barumundi and a lamb dish very nice. Small menu but when you add two together well done. Not quiet but well done.

If you want pork belly this is your place!! Dessert wasnt bad but nothing to rave about. Nice environment and good bar. Can get loud if situated near bar so request table near back of restaurant of you want a quieter night.
Had dinner with a friend at Public this week. The Vegan share plates were creative and tasted fantastic. I will be back.
