Throughout the space of Public, a modernist sensibility is blended with a classic American, Newport mansion drawing room theme. It’s design is inspired by the existing architecture of the Masonic Temple and it’s Rhode Island Capital Statehouse neighbor. Public’s masculine and warm setting will be a meeting place for hipsters and Senators alike.
Polished, 1930s-style locale at the Renaissance Hotel featuring inventive American cuisine & drinks.

Had breakfast here with my family. There are much better options for breakfast in walking distance. Avocado toast had minimal guacamole. Just enough to make the toast look green. French toast was decent. Service was good. If hotel is going to comp your breakfast then it’s a good option else walk a little and you will find much better food.

The place? So cute!
The service? Only if you like sassy retort.
The food? As white as it gets.
I was hoping for an amazing restaurant for where I could have a fantastic dinner with my mom before a show at the Vets. We got a generic hotel restaurant.
Pretty in Pink was the best part of the night. That drink? So dang good.
The rest? Eh. Lacking. The host was rude and condescending. The waitress while pleasant was MIA. The food took forever an was obviously sitting under a heat lamp. But somehow the fries were underdone.
The crabcakes while had great consistency, did not have the flavor to keep it a good dish. The Caesar salad might as well have come from a shake bag. As said before the fries weren’t fried enough. My mom said the burger was delish, so I’ll give Public that.
All in all, won’t come again. My mom said she will but it might be for the atmosphere and age group of attendants.

We had the pleasure of being served by May, and she truly made our dining experience exceptional. She was attentive without being intrusive, always checking in at just the right time. Her friendly attitude and genuine smile made us feel welcome right away. May was knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations that we really enjoyed. It’s clear she cares about her guests and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. Thank you, May, for such wonderful service.. you made our evening extra special!

Very nice inhouse restaurant. Steve and ‘Ray’ were excellent staff and great personalities. My Manhattan was one of the best I ever had. The calamari app was big enough for at least 4-5 to share. Scallops were amazing (great plating) and the cioppino was beautiful. We ate at the bar as all the dinner reservations were taken because of a show next door. Call early!

Food was good, prices seemed a little high for fancy bar food. Was a great location for dinner before a show at the Vet. Service was a little slow despite saying we had tickets for 8pm show.

Note* Not rated for food or drink….mainly lack of service.
We were staying at the hotel (which is beautiful and clean!) We were told the restaurant was open until 11. Wanted to grab a quick drink when we got back before going up so stopped in at 10:15. There was about 7 people at the bar and 3 bar tables with customers….no one seated in the restaurant. We did not walk in to an empty bar. When we sat down, we were not acknowledged by either of the two bartenders. Instead, one walked by us 3 times, as the other one stood to the side. At one point, the one standing looked at his watch and said to the other bartender “good thing there’s only 15 minutes until last call” and glanced our way. So this means we still had 15 minutes to order. We would have been gone before “closing”. At this point it was our choice to get up and leave, but if making two drinks is such a hassle for you to do in 15 minutes, then you probably shouldn’t be working as a bartender. I’ve worked in that business. I understand being tired (working at bars open until 2am) or having a bad day, but for both of them to ignore us was unprofessional and rude. I’m big with a simple “Hi, I will be right with you”, if you are busy, but although they had customers, they were not busy serving them. They were concerned about getting out of there and cleaning.
Avoid simply for that reason. There are so many other places we visited while there, all with amazing service and attentive to customers.

Great Gatsby New Year’s Eve. We didn’t receive champagne for the toast nor did we have any wait staff approach with hor d’oeuvres seemed to only be going to the private parties, both were included in the ticket price. Very understaffed at the bar. Enjoyed the DJ. Would have been appropriate to include some 20’s music in the mix.

Waitress needs more help but works very hard and cares.. Not the largest portion of chowda but extremely delicious.. Spinach salad had a wonderful balance of flavors..

We went in on a Friday at 2pm, and it was a little dead, which was kinda nice. Received prompt service, our drinks were made well, and the pizza we ordered, the Alex “Numero Uno” was awesome.
We had 3 of the craft cocktails (I quite enjoyed the Ghosted) and the aforementioned pizza.
Total bill for it all came out to $65. The place looks great too.
