Public, NoLita
I normally don’t post about restaurants unless I take pictures of the food, but this weekend I had such a fantastic dinner at Public, my neighborhood “free spirited fusion” spot, that I can’t resist.
First off the space. Wowzas. Industrial chic. Love the garage door. It’s quite possibly the best designed restaurant I’ve ever been in.
Some of the food I ate. Just try to tell me this doesn’t sound amazing/intriguing:
- Guava and red chili margarita
- Watermelon, feta, basil, and grilled pumpkin seeds salad
- Sweetbreads (If you don’t know, don’t ask. They’re delicious, and I can’t believe I am admitting that.)
- Lobster salad with candied mangoes
- Barramundi with vanilla celeriac puree, braised garlic greens, verjus and muscat grape sauce
- The best mahi mahi dish I’ve ever had: Asian gazpacho, tomatoes, olives, creme fraiche, and salmon roe.
Looking for a foodie who wants to do the Sunday Supper with me, a chef prepared $50 five course menu. Their brunch also sounds incredible. Can’t wait to return!
