We had the brussel sprouts as an appetizer which werr great – broiled and a little saucy but just right. The house cocktails were excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed my thick pork chop. My italian cook wife was not impressed with the bolognese, but shes hard to please there. Rooftop was great, atmosphere all around was nice and the service was excellent even on the roof. Stongky recommend.

Went for dinner while in Savannah and ordered the shrimp and grits — and I’m not exaggerating when I say these are the best shrimp and grits I’ve ever had. Easily a top five dish of my life.
The shrimp were perfectly cooked — tender with a great snap — and the grits were rich, creamy, and deeply flavorful without feeling heavy. Everything was balanced. Nothing overpowered anything else. It’s one of those dishes where you take the first bite and immediately stop talking for a second.
The space has a warm, polished-but-relaxed vibe that fits Savannah perfectly. It feels upscale without being stuffy. Service was attentive and friendly.
If you’re in Savannah and debating where to eat, put this at the top of your list. I’d go back just for that dish alone.

This is a great find for those who are gluten free like me! I liked it so much, we came back a second time in our stay in Savannah.
They have a dedicated gluten free fryer, so it was quite a treat to have gluten free fries! They let me order the gluten free chicken tenders and fries from the kid’s menu (+parmesan and truffle oil.) So good! The second day I got the gluten free stuffed squash, which was also super yummy.
My friend loved the apple grilled cheese and salmon bruschetta. The cocktails were also to die for!

Great first experience. Awesome Food and Vibes. Our server Stella did a good job keeping an eye on us. The Duck Confit was So Delicious. My wife had the Smothered Pork Loin, which was very tasty. The Baked Brie dip was a perfect way to start our meal. We’ll be back for sure.

This is THE best food my husband and I have ever had, and we are avid food lovers.
We got the duck confit and the shrimp and grits, along with a side of garlic whipped potatoes and the Crimson Supernova cocktail.
The duck is slow cooked in its own fat for three days, if I’m remembering what the waitress said correctly. It was so tender that it fell apart with barely a touch of my knife. It was flavored immaculately and paired with toasted farro, roasted potatoes and carrots, and an apricot chutney. After the first bite, I could have fallen over, it was so delicious.
The shrimp and grits had a rich, creamy sauce with a slight spiciness to it and depth of flavor that I can’t even explain with words. There were pieces of sausage and grape tomato in the sauce that elevated it even further, and the grits almost had a whipped texture to them.
The garlic mashed potatoes were the best I’ve ever had. They weren’t as light as I had expected, but they had an even, heavy garlic flavor throughout with a perfect amount of pepper to add that full-bodied depth to a dish.
Lastly, the drink: I’ve never had anything like it. I don’t like cinnamon too much, but there was an almost powdery cinnamon sugar rim that wasn’t too strong. The drink was very tart and shocking at the first sip, but by the second, I was in love. It had a fruity and flowery taste that meshed so insanely well with the mezcal smokiness. I wish I lived closer to this restaurant so that I could keep coming back.
There was also a live performer named Cyril Durant that was playing guitar and singing while we were there, and I could not believe how amazing his voice was.
Lastly, the atmosphere was sublime. The temperature was cool with a breeze, and it had just gotten dark outside when we got there. We sat on the roof and just looked over the city streets with the ambient lighting from the restaurant and street lamps and couldn’t have been happier. Coming here is a memory that my husband and I will never forget.

This was hands down by far the best meal we had in Savannah. We went for lunch and everything we had was so delicious. I even got a gnocchi order to go so I could eat it for dinner tonight. 10/10 ! I got the gobbler burger and pasta salad which was great. My husband had the shrimp and grits (amazing) and we split the farro salad which was sooooo flavorful. And our waitress Victoria was such a delight and really made the lunch special.

My recent visit here was excellent. 3 of us arrived on Saturday around 5:30 and were able to choose between immediate seating in or out of doors (we chose to sit outside) There was a lot of foot traffic however it never felt like we were being pushed in on so was no issue.
The star of the meal was the shrimp and grits. All of the flavors blended beautifully and the chorizo added just a touch of spice. Absolutely recommend this dish
The service was also great. Our server, Jaylynn, was very friendly and laid back, and gave great suggestions. I’d almost go back just to sit in her section again.
Good drinks, great food, wonderful service

I’ll start off by saying my husband and I waited only 15 mins for a table. Not bad for a Friday night. Next, our server- Jaylynn, was top notch. She had an answer for any question and offered wonderful recommendations for drinks and food, to our liking, and provided superb service. My husband truly enjoyed the shrimp and grits. The best he’s had. The sausage appetizer, just wow. The Duck was tender and potatoes- delish. We will be back next time In Savannah! Highly recommend!

Are here last night with my husband. We choose this restaurant as Gluten Free allergens we’re listen on the menu. They have a good variety of gluten free options.
They had gluten free fried chicken tenders on the kids menu, I cheekily asked for this as a starter; it’s rare to get this as someone who is coeliac. They were really great!!!
As a main I had a burger without the bun. My husband had Bolognese, he doesn’t have allergies.
Overall we enjoyed the restaurant.

The Public Kitchen was absolutely worth the visit! The place was packed so the food took a little while, but it was totally worth the wait. The crabcake is a must-try, perfectly cooked and delicious. The shrimp and grits were amazing, full of flavor, and the New York strip was fantastic, tender, and cooked just right. We finished the night with an espresso martini that was extremely good and the perfect ending to the meal. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great dinner in Savannah!
