Price: Expensive

• Canadian • The Junction

Booked 18 times today

General Public is inspired by trying to imagine what an upscale English pub would be if it had the heart of an American brasserie (and was open 11 to 11). It’s also going to signal a little bit of steakhouse, but not too much. And finally, it will look behind itself at the Black Hoof, which you will see reflected in James Santon’s menu here and there. In terms of vibe, the main floor is ‘everything’s gone green’, with lush comfortable banquette seating, warm wood, and barstools designed for long conversations over many cocktails. Upstairs you’ll find a completely different space that transports you to a peachy 80s dream. Somehow these two halves make perfect sense, and complement each other in a seamless conversation, where neither wins the argument, but you really do have to see it! See you soon!

Our server was wonderful. Excellent pizza and fries as starters, really good. My son loved the burger. Super delicious. I had the Branzino with a side of squash, also delicious. The only let down was my husbands pasta bolognese, it was boring and tasteless unfortunately. Desserts were a 10/10!

Wonderful experience. We had the chefs tasting menu and everything was outstanding. Service was top notch and the cocktails were delicious. I had my 7 week old with me and a member of the Richmond Station team approached me on my way to the washroom to ask if I needed a place to change her. So very kind. We look forward to returning!

One of my favourite restaurants in the city to go to catch up with friends. The restaurant itself is beautiful, the food exceptional and the service is typically impeccable. Our appetizer order got missed today, but they more than made up for it, with a complimentary appetizer to take home and an absolutely delicious dessert. Would not hesitate to go back or recommend. We were there 3.5 hours and we're never rushed.
