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!

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!

Everything was excellent! My party of 2 had a bar reservation for 845pm and we arrived a tad early but were graciously accommodated. The service at the bar was exceptional, our bartender took the time to learn what I liked to drink and recommended an awesome booze-forward Bev (Helter Skelter, loved it). She also took the time to make a thoughtful recommendation for our dinner— we ended up choosing a few salads (my chopped wedge was better than any wedge salad has a right to be) and the fries…my god, the fries. They are magic. Beyond that, the ambiance was perfect, playlist was the best, and the restaurant itself is just gorgeous (my dining partner and I were salivating over the gorgeous bar too — she says it’s onyx? I say a pretty marble? Whatever it was, whole vibe was perfect). Thanks for a great holiday meal experience!
