" Came here hoping for a truly authentic izakaya experience, but while the food was decent, it was not as flavorful as expected. The service was also slow during the rush hour. The atmosphere was nice, but I probably won’t return. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is fantastic for a late-night snack! I love how they serve authentic izakaya dishes, and their yakitori is a must-try. The ambiance is casual and a great place to unwind after a long day. Highly recommend the sake too! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, what a wonderful little izakaya! The vibe reminded me of sitting in a traditional Japanese pub. The menu had a great selection of small plates to share. We ordered several different items and everything was fresh and full of flavor. Perfect for a group outing! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has a great selection of Japanese dishes, but I think it does fall short on the authenticity of some of its items. I tried the kare udon and it was not the comforting dish I had imagined. Service was average and the setting was nice. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here during a lunch break and had the ramen. It was nice to find quick service during busy hours. The broth was on the saltier side, even for my preferences, but the noodles were cooked just right. I'd probably try something else next time, but it was still a decent meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" We stumbled upon The Public Izakaya while wandering around Yountville and decided to give it a shot. What a delightful surprise! The service was friendly and attentive right from the start. I ordered their signature Unagi Don, and wow, the flavors were spot on. Definitely a place to keep on your list if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I celebrated my friend's birthday here and the staff made it special with their attentive service. The drinks were excellent, and the food—especially the miso soup—was outstanding. Would definitely return again; great spot for group gatherings! " (*Curated Review*)
