One of my favorite restaurants in Savannah is Local 11 Ten. So, when I heard that the owner of this piece of heaven was opening another restaurant in the area, I squealed!
The Public Kitchen & Bar is a chic place located on the corner of Liberty and Bull. Just like Local, it has modern decor with an elegant, open feel about it. My friend, Christina, and I sat at the bar where we were eagerly greeted by a very handsome and knowledgeable bartender. He told us about their unique and adventurous drink specials, and he also let us try wines that we were uncertain about. Once deciding on his recommendation of Riesling, I settled in on the food menu...
I loved the simple takes on traditional foods. Nothing weird or scientific. Everything just prepared right and delicious. I was in the mood for something small so I ordered their baked potato (minus the bacon bits of course). The food came out very fast! And it was YUMMY! The potato was fluffy, soft, seasoned, and not at all microwaved. The skin was crispy, salty, and not at all chewy. The potato had just the right amount of sour cream, butter, chives, and cheese. It's as if they've known me my entire life, and knew exactly the ratios I like on my potato!
The servers all had smiles, and the patrons looked equally as happy. And being that you are the company you keep, I found myself laughing and smiling and conversing with staff and customers alike!
All in all....The Public gets a 5 out of 5 on my Yummy Scale!! I shall be returning...and I'm bringing friends!
"Like" them on Facebook and watch this seed bloom in to a strong oak of Savannah.
