   Had an incredible time at General Public. The service and vibes were amazing and memorable. Jen Agg even filled our water glasses and served us desert ☺️. The caviar with mini Yorkshires is a dish we’ll be thinking about for a while - so delicious, as was the NY strip and chips. Definitely a top restaurant in the city and one that I’d recommend.

   The place is really cozy and intimate, the service is present but not too much, really good cocktails and wines. My only concern is the food, it’s good but too many dishes were fried. When it’s fried, you loose the taste of the ingredients. Why do you fried the paté ????

   Very welcoming environment with tasteful decor. Service was friendly and balanced which is not a given in many places. Thankfully the food matched the initial impressions of the restaurant. Each of the courses we had was tasty and flavourful. Really nice addition to Geary.

   Wonderful dinner. Unfortunately our special guest had to cancel last minute so it wasn’t the celebration we had planned. However we had a fab dinner - wedge, tartare, skate, halibut, schnitzel, chips and three cocktails and it was fab with fantastic service in beautiful space.

   Jen Agg has done it again - this restaurant might be her best yet. Absolutely a delight to dine there. The decor is warm and in her signature style and the food — THE FOOD!! Amazingly delicious and unique in their own “English gastro pub” homage. We all ordered different things and everyone was pleased with their dishes. The cocktails - on point. Can’t wait to come back!

    Just want to preface that the experience started out pretty bad from the beginning. I did make a reservation around 7 days prior to my visit. Upon arrival, we were put in the worst table possible - the tiny table under the stairs which was right in front of the door to the kitchen, which had really high traffic and was not pleasant. They said due to double bookings, and such, this was the only table available. We agreed and took the table anyways, but informed that we wanted to be move to a better table when one becomes available. We waited around 20-25 minutes for another party to finish up and were moved there. After being moved, it was another 15-20 minutes before the server came back to our table to take our orders. Considering, how not busy it was during that time, this was pretty bad. The food also came out pretty slow. The food was started out tasting pretty good, but the main was where it went a bit downhill. We ordered the Kanpachi crude and fried crusted clams/mussels - delicious. For mains, we got the Tongue and Tail Pie, and the NY Strip (asked to be cooked rare), with a side of Potato Roulade. While Tongue and Tail pie looked very aesthetically pleasing, the dish kind of fell short. Under the beautiful pie crust, there were barely any gravy to the stew. There were good amount of beef tongue and oxtail, but barely any gravy/stew, which made it quite dry. Half of the NY strip which we asked for rare was overcooked (almost medium to medium well). While the sauce was delicious, the overcooked meat kind of ruined it for us. We did also inform our server about the overcooked part of the dish (half), and was only replied with a “Oh Im so sorry about that” and he walked away, with no attempt for a resolution. We are not fussy and difficult customers, so I did just let it slide and finished the dish either way. For desserts, the banoffie pie was actually delicious, and kind of saved our meal. Overall, the restaurant still has tons of improvement to do.
