A word from Public Kitchen and Bar

From Domaine Restaurant's Tim Goodell comes Public Kitchen & Bar, new at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, featuring a menu of eclectic American fare. The landmark hotel's reimagined dining hall offers locals and travelers alike a stunning setting reminiscent of a stylish and welcoming private home. A… loft-inspired design provides a lighter, brighter space highlighted by black walnut butcher block tables, redesigned 1960s library chairs and diamond-tufted banquettes. At the room's center, a large, three-sided, marble topped bar offers creative cocktails, a moderately priced bottle wine list, beers by draft and bottle and an assortment of cured meats and cheeses.

"We decided on lunch at Public Kitchen because of its location in the historic Roosevelt Hotel. This restaurant is a hidden Hollywood gem! The menu was just right: a good selection of items but not so overwhelming that you'd get lost in the menu. Our lunch was delicious. The portions were fit for a king and surprisingly, reasonably-priced. The Roast Prime Rib French Dip was oh-so-tender. We loved the quiet, yet classic pub atompshere! The service was courteous, attentive and friendly. Public Kitchen is a wonderful place for lunch!"

"Public Kitchen serves excellent food in the elegant surroundings of the restored Hollywood Roosevelt hotel. Even though this is a tourist destination, the cuisine is modern with an emphasis on fresh and seasonal ingredients. There is a range of small plates and entrees, so you have either option. Large bar and interesting cocktail menu too."

"Food - great! but.... There are no adults running the show here. We checked in 1/2hour early before going to the Library Bar, and there was a grown up there. but when we checked back in at 7, there were only a few 22 year old girls running the show. during the meal, they were gossipiing instead of looking around to see if any of the diners needed anything.
when our server/waiter came over for the first time, he just blustered right in, although my husband was in the middle of talking, and greeted us. i guess what he had to say was more important than anything we had to say.

Food arrived quickly, but plates are large which meant that since all of us were sharing, soon there was no room for anything on the table. bad plan"

"A great location to relax with wine and conversation. Eclectic menu variety to please all in your party. Our server had great menu and wine knowledge as WELL as personality, which is refreshing to find in these parts. Service was very timely and she was attentive to our needs even though it appeared she was also servicing the rest of the dining
Room as well. Will definitely be returning."

"Had the Chicken Liver Mousse to start - was so light and silky! The best mousse I've had in LA! It was served with charred ciabatta - delicious. Followed that up with a burger. Was a hand formed flavorful patty served with special accoutrement like chopped bacon on the side. Very tasty. (My dining companions had Hummus, Kale Salad, Beet Salad and Mary's Chicken - they all enjoyed their dishes). For dessert we shared the fresh berries w/ Coconut sorbet and lime gelee. It was the PERFECT way to end our lunch. Wish more restaurants offered desserts that are so fresh, clean and not overly sweet. Love! We also shared a decadent chocolate pudding and butterscotch pudding. Everything was FANTASTIC. Plus the setting/decor is amazing."

"Our table was non-exsistent upon reservation check-in time. At the conclusion of the meal the bill had to be recalculated twice due to erroneous charges. Had high hopes but unfortunately it just turned out to be a disappointment all around."

"I had a drink at the bar prior to dinner with a friend. The bartenders were fantastic as were the cocktails. The host was very accommodating, given my friend was 30 minutes late for our reservation. Good menu, food was delicious, however the portions were VERY small for the $$. I had the scallops entree for $21, and there were two on my plate.
