Publico Street Bistro & Garden

We always love visiting Publico when visiting our daughter in Boston! Such a lovely, happy experience! The decor is so much fun and such a cozy place! Love the garden area and the hostess was nice enough to move us there. The front of the restaurant also nice but the back is just extra fun and special! We find the food to be very good! This time I would have liked my eggs Benedict a bit more well done but overall always enjoy the food!

Service was solid, drinks were great, food was great. Appreciate that I was greeted by kind staff upon entry and appreciated alot of other kind staff in good mood around. Easy to make reservation on a Saturday during their winter festival event which looked like a cute date idea. I think maybe I misunderstood the event but it was more like party vibes and really loud club music vs any holiday music etc. I wouldn't knock a star off for that but I do because we could hardly hear eachother across a high top. Waitress and I also had to repeat things to eachother multiple times. We will had a great time and stayed the entire time. It was my first time here and realize it's a popular party spot too just maybe know to get a table in front bar next time.

We booked a table for 5 and they sat us at a Table for 4. That is really uncomfortable and not frankly bad service. We asked a waitress if we could move on of the tables over and she said no problem and helped slide it over. The hostess came over 30 mins. later and told us she needed the table and slid it away almost knocking 2 drinks over. No apology, nothing. Then no one even showed up for that table until 10 mins before we were going to leave. There were plenty of open tables available throughout the room. Honestly, won't go back. There are SOOOOO many choices in the area. No need to deal with that level of bad service.

Do not be deceived by the description of the winter market... this space is very hard to make feel truly warm and christmas-y. They tried with the decorations but ultimately it is an oversell of the experience, they didnt even have holiday music on, only rap/EDM at 11:30am? Definitely better places to get into the christmas spirit in boston. Food and drink was great as always though

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Theo, Joe, and the amazing team at Publico knocked it out of the park with Breakfast with Santa! From the moment we walked in, everything felt festive and welcoming. The kids had an absolute blast, Santa was fantastic, and the smiles were nonstop. Plus, the food and drinks were top-notch—delicious for both kids and adults! Thank you for creating such a magical and memorable experience for our families. We can't wait to come back!

The ribs and wings were fantastic. Beautifully decorated for the holidays. Music was very loud, but this place has a fun bar scene.

Publico was surprisingly slow for Tuesday night, but the food was incredible. The service was amazing for a party of seven and the drinks were delicious. Made a lot of new patrons that night out of the people I brought over there! 

Really loud in the dining room, food took forever (I think our server forgot about us), Caesar salad was sopping with dressing.

A lively, inviting place with great food and attentive service. We were celebrating our son's 25th birthday and they went out of their way to make it special.

Always good, but the audio on the Red Sox game was over the top, making it difficult to converse; okay to watch without any audio.

Love Publico! Great food. Great people!!! Allergy friendly (accommodated egg, peanut, tree nut allergy)

The weekday $10 lunch special is simply amazing. You get a huge sandwich (we like the short ribs sandwich and hot chicken sandwich the most), a cookie, and soft drink all for $10! Highly recommended!

We were celebrating my daughter's 9th birthday with $1 oysters at Publico. Our wonderful server made it so special for her by putting a candle on her dessert. She loved it so much. Thank you!

Sat outside, beautiful night. Food was delicious, drinks were creative and delicious, nice atmosphere. Pricey, but that's to be expected.

I was there with a group of friends for lunch, we all enjoyed the atmosphere, quality and variety of food. A terrific value we will definitely share and return.
