Public Storage

What a treasure! I became familiar with Chef Farmarie after seeing him on the Food Network and was anxious to try this restaurant. On a recent NY Jaunt, I met with up with 5 friends for dinner at this chic establishment on Elizabeth St. in Soho. We were running uber late but the staff was so friendly and did their best to have us seated in a timely fashion once we did finally arrive. Boy was it worth the wait. I had the scallops to start, simply delishious and then the venisson as a plat principal and again, perfection: Perfectly cooked with just the right gameyness. I tasted a bit of my friend's lamb and it was great. Everything I tasted at the table was a little piece of heaven. For dessert I had the coconut pudding cake with passion fruit sorbet and it was perfectly light and refreshing. Our waitor was friendly, knowledgeable but not annoyingly so. It was a lovely evening! I 100% recommend! more

Public, to thee I pledge eternal love. You are the coolest restaurant I know, with the most impressive ambience, the best martinis, the most fantastic scallops and Hokey Pokey ice cream, and the even more delicious bartenders. I love you for brunch, I adore you for dinner, I swoon for you over late-night cocktails. Even my Mom loves you! Dear Public, keep feeding me that crazy fusion food, and my devotion for you will never die. more

The bartender made bloody marys with a smile, a smile that quickly turned to shock when he saw that the hostess failed to seat usagainat a newly cleared table. We had been waiting to sit for over an hour. The three hostesses at the front cant handle the handfull of customers that come in for Sunday brunch. As the hostesses walked around with their noses in the air (literally) and their chests pushed out, all three failed to 1)smile, 2)speak to us without sounding like a valley girl and 3) tell us the truth. We watched them repeatedly sit parties before us that clearly showed up long after us and were told they arrived first. The mediocre food is not worth the hideous treatment we received. The only person more shockingly rude than the hostesses was the restaurants manager. Too bad Public isnt welcoming to theirs. more
