A wonderful little gem, The Public has it all: great food, a very well thought thru wine list - and great staff. We were happily surprised across the board - having known nothing or heard anything previously. We are now forever fans and look forward to the next visit there!

Fun and delicious

Delicious food, per usual and great service - albeit a bit slow. Classic moules frites dish is superb & gets lots of bread for the sauces.

We celebrated our Anniversary here. Food was delicious, staff conscientious, and they treated us to a glass of champagne

Great oysters and mussels

John, the bartender, is engaging, welcoming and very helpful.

First time visitors to Charlottesville and this was our favorite dinner spot! Outstanding food, service and atmosphere! Our table had the “Beyond” cocktail and it lived up to its name! Wonderful appetizers and entrees paired with personal delightful service. This spot was one of the highlights of our trip! Highly recommend!

Food was wonderful, service a little slow but worth the wait

We were on a staycation and picked places we were looking forward to sharing a meal. It was phenomenal from the food to the staff!❤️
