"My partner and I decided to have a date night at this restaurant. It can be a bit challenging to find parking in the strip mall lot. However, once inside, the ambiance was pleasant. The restaurant offers options for vegetarians, vegans, and those with gluten-free diets, which is a great feature. They have a good variety of local beers with generous tasting portions. The service was attentive and helpful. The prices are a bit high compared to the portion sizes of some dishes. The Stuffed Zucchini appetizer was tasty but on the smaller side. We also enjoyed the delicious Public Mac (mac-n-cheese) which was a good size. The Kobe's Got Seoul burger was tasty but a bit too juicy at medium, so I recommend ordering it medium well. The vegetarian Buffalo Chick-In Sammy was satisfying with a large veggie cutlet. Overall, we would definitely return, as the restaurant offers a diverse menu that caters to those with different dietary restrictions."

Best whiskey drinks in South county! And if you are vegan like myself they have wonderful options for you! My latest favorite is their buffalo chicken burger. I could eat that every day. And all you meat eats don't worry... They got lots of great food for you as well

I love PUBlic 74. Everything I have had from their menu tastes great and is fresh. I recommend the goat cheese toast or the grilled cheese with tomato soup or the French fries. Everything is good. I went for lunch and they had a taco special. It was two steak or pulled pork tacos with a side salad. I ordered the steak tacos and they had sour cream, cotija cheese, onion, and a slaw... they were really good. The meat had a good flavor.

I recently visited this restaurant for happy hour and was impressed with the delicious food we ordered, including hummus, sweet and spicy chicken wings, mac and cheese, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts. I do not understand some of the negative reviews mentioning food quality. I highly recommend going for happy hour and trying out a few items for yourself. The prices during happy hour are very reasonable. The service was also excellent, with a warm and friendly atmosphere from all staff members who work well as a team. View menu

We wanted to try a new barstaurant. The food menu is filled with comfort food. We had the brussel sprouts appetizer and it was amazing, not too heavy or sweet it was perfect. The Herbed Califlower had a slight lemon flavor and is very light in taste. My husband ordered the Smokin Reuben. The corned beef was homemade , I think it's the best Ruben sandwich he has ever had. If you are into specialty cocktails you are in the right place. They have Whiskey, Bourbon and tequila drinks with lots of added taste such as spicy or sweet. The beer and wine list are extensive. We will be going back and thanks Will for such great service

My experience at PUBlic 74 last night was excellent! The service was exceptional, receiving 5 stars. The drinks were delicious and also deserving of 5 stars. The ambiance was great and also received 5 stars. However, the food was just okay and received 3 stars. The Hummus was average, not outstanding. The macaroni and cheese was disappointing and I would not order it again. The Ruben sandwich was very tasty and I would definitely try it again. The highlight of the meal were the fries, which were excellent! I highly recommend ordering the fries if you visit. Overall, PUBlic 74 is a great place and I would definitely return. With a few tweaks to the entrees, this place could easily receive 5 s...

"Husband and I were looking for an Italian place for dinner we didn't want to go to our usual. I came across Ciao Pasta on Yelp and thought we would give it a try. It's in San Juan Capistrano which is always nice to walk before or after dinner. I called and made reservations for 5:15pm , we arrived about 20 minutes early but thank god we did as we couldn't find the place. It's not hard to find it we just thought it was on the opposite side of town. We managed to make it right on time and we were seated right away. It was such a nice afternoon that we decided to sit outside. It's a beautiful restaurant with plenty of seating inside and outside. We started off with ordering drinks and an appetizer. We ordered the carpaccio to start with. They also brought us some delicious and soft focaccia bread with some olive oil and crushed olives( I believe) . When I saw the carpaccio it just looked so beautiful and delicious and it was also delicious and so fresh tasting. The focaccia bread was also very good I decided to top my bread with some of the carpaccio, it was amazing. For dinner my husband ordered the beef Bolognese and I ordered the crudo pizza. The pizza had some prosciutto and Parmesan cheese and topped with some arugula. The pizza is a great size to share . The crust on the pizza was absolutely amazing.My husband absolutely loved the pizza crust he said it took him back to his childhood. It tasted like freshly made flour tortillas with butter on it. It was so good!!! He also enjoyed his pasta dish. And of course we had to get some dessert and we went with the ricotta cheesecake with raspberry sauce , it was delicious and not to sweet. This restaurant also has great service. The waiters and servers were on top of it. We will definitely be back to try some more of their dishes. Thank you for such a great dinner!"
