"public" sounds a bit unnecessary for me! Explanation: Quite simply, a restaurant open to the public! I've never used it myself, and I'd only expect to read it when the writer wants to refer to the fact that people outside a particular group would be there, i.e. the opposite of a works canteen. Or it could be referring to this place in New York City... http://public-nyc.com/ |
