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.
Please keep in mind that we are next to a theatre and it greatly affects reservations and seating times.
If you have requests for dining please reach out to the restaurant for specific requests...

    Great place to eat before our show at the VET. Ambience warm and upscale. Food was very good and our server was wonderful. We have one major complaint. The host, Chris, was rude, unfriendly and seemed to hate his job. So much for hospitality at a place that needs it. Probably won't return due to unpleasant hosting.

    Overall lovely dining experience - part of the hotel but food was delicious and location convinient for seeing a show next door at The Vets. Only negative was a flashing lightbulb right by our table that staff acknowledged but did not offer a solution.
