Reviews for PUBLIC Kitchen & Bar in Kitchener, ON
Such a warm and inviting atmosphere with delicious food and drinks. Happy hour is a great option, highly recommended. We ordered... the prosciutto crostini, chicken nuggets (they?re amazing), potatoes bravas, scallops, and salmon rosti. Sangria was refreshingas well. Happy hour is a great option. Read more
Went there for my birthday, it's a tapas restaurant. Pretty much everything on the menu was delicious. The fries were amazing,... probably the best fries I've ever had. The potatoes were a bit of a disappointment, not bad but not as good as everything else.The prices are pretty reasonable for the quality. I'll definitely be back Read more
Nice atmosphere, very good service. Good cocktails but not much variety of whisky, cognac, etc. The food is great. It used to be... even better but I'd guess Covid hit this restaurant as well. It's like a fancy tapas bar, so if you should order some dishes andshare. Usually a little bit expensive (depending on # dishes and drinks). It would be great if they can go back to theirprevious exotic menu, with more variety (rather than fried chicken...) Read more
Apps were decent. Fried chicken was the best I ever had which is why I'm giving 4. Cheesecake was not good, caramel tasted... burnt. Patio needs work Read more
My experience at Public was absolutely amazing. All the dishes we tried were delicious but the stars were the fried chicken and... the feature dessert (brioche style doughnuts). What really made this place stand out was the staff. Everyone was so friendlywhich really added to the overall atmosphere. I highly recommend coming here. Read more
Amazing local tapas restaurant, one of my favourite restaurants in Waterloo region. Staff are professional and helpful in... providing suggestions bases on your personal tastes. The food is fresh and well prepared, there are interesting dishes to trywith a combination of textures and flavours. Read more

We are regulars at Public and just visited again last night. Such a vibrant and cozy atmosphere. Impeccable service, casual yet... professional. The food is always amazing. We had the fried chicken which was cooked perfectly; the mussels in a saffron creamsauce - I could not get enough of the delicious sauce! We had the hand cut fries and the caramelized onion dip, which wasdelicious. We also had the grilled veggie/goat cheese with crostini. The attention to detail with cocktail menu is so lovely. Ihad a Gold Rush, which came in a beautiful ornate glass with gold etching along with an orange ice cube that had herbs frozeninside. I just love Public - from start to finish, they rock. And, the owners are two wonderful people. Thank you for this gemof an establishment in KW. I recommend it to everyone I know ???? Read more
