There were a good amount of people in the restaurant at 3pm, so we (my wife and I) decided to try Public, since their were some reviews both on yelp and Google. The food here was not good. I ordered the hake with clam. The hake was overcooked and way too chewy. The clams didn't even open up yet which either meant it wasn't cooked or it wasn't fresh. I tasted 2 clams and had to spit it out, it was horrible and left a nasty fishy/clamy taste in my mouth. 100% these clams weren't fresh. The spaghetti that my wife ordered appeared to be bland based on appearance. It tasted worse than it looked. The food was not what we expected. The appetizer thst I ordered, smoked salmon with lobster mousse was sour and tasted not fresh. The staff was nice and sat us quick. The food also came out quick as well, but the quality of the food was definitely lacking. Perhaps it was just the day that I went? I wouldn't recommend going here, unless you want an upset stomach. read more
