We've lived in SJC for 9 months, how did I not know this restaurant was here. Generous portions, friendly service, and heaters to make our outdoor dining experience comfortable. Loved the tomato appetizer, the burger was great and they serve the best cheesecake I have ever had. I shared it but I could've had the entire serving, and I'm not all that much into sweets to begin with. This is our new favorite local place.

Lovely dinning experience!!! Food was on point! Services was very good & prompt. The tomato addiction appetizer was awesome!! We also enjoyed the cauliflower! Entrées that we tried were the chicken tacos the Reuben sandwich and the meatloaf they were all very pleasing to the pallet. Definitely a hidden gem in San Juan Capistrano!

PUBlic 74 is a hidden gem. The space, decor, beer selection, and staff are incredible, but the food steals the show. The food is outstanding...I usually order 3-5 things off the starters menu just to try more items. When ordering from the entrees, though everything is great, I personally love the Combo #74, burger, kimchi steak, or the Reuben. Their specials are also delicious...

The perfect dining spot during this crazy quarantine time! A very quaint outdoor setting. Very dialed social distancing with placing your order over your phone right at the table. Our waitress was great and meals were unique and awesome. Treat yourself to a great time, we're going back soon!

Super fun restaurant with plenty of open-outdoor seating and outdoor patio space. Felt totally safe and watched the waiters follow guidelines and protocols. The food is delicious and I highly recommend the Brussel sprouts; they are the best out there! Will be back to support this family friendly small business!
