    We had eaten dinner at The Publican many times, but this was our first time having brunch. We shared sweet and savory dishes including the waffle, the shrimp and grits, and chicken schnitzel. All were delicious! A side of PBQ breakfast sausage was tasty, too. I highly recommend checking out this spot for brunch.

    This tiny place is very pleasant, especially at the far back overlooking the courtyard, but accent on the “tiny”. Glad I had reserved a table for a friend’s birthday celebration. We enjoyed our choices of pastry, though I would have liked more true cake choices (only one, dark chocolate.) the cappuccino was good. Glad we checked this place out, and it’s right next door to my favorite P.O.S.H. store. Two good places on the same visit.
