Fodor's Expert Review Public

$$$ NoLIta Eclectic

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

To start with, the space here is complex and sophisticated, with soaring ceilings and whitewashed brick walls, skylights, fireplaces, three dining areas, and a vast bar. You've come for the food, though, and you won't be disappointed. The menu flaunts its nonconformity, and dishes, like the Australian barramundi fish, served with vanilla-celeriac puree and braised garlic greens, demonstrate a light yet adventurous touch. Brunch at Public is a local favorite, with exotic selections like coconut pancakes topped with fresh ricotta, mango, and lime syrup, and a juicy venison burger. Standout desserts include a chocolate mousse with tahini ice cream and sesame candy.
