Inspired by the civic institutions of the ’30s and ’40s, which could be depended upon for the greater good, AvroKO’s first self-propelled project highlights the beauty of elements culled from post offices, libraries, and civic buildings. PUBLIC embodies AvroKO’s desire to make quality food a common commodity, thus all things municipal inform the architecture, materials, and graphics. In an unprecedented sweep for a single firm, AvroKO won the James Beard Awards for “Outstanding Restaurant Design” and “Outstanding Restaurant Graphics” for PUBLIC.

  • "Chef Farmerie spins lovely fusion food, served by a professional staff, in a super slick setting."
