Reviews Public School 818

We scheduled a professional meeting in their private room, which included a screen, projector, wi-fi, and everything else necessary for a group meeting. The room has a rolling door for added privacy. What a fantastic place to have a private get together! The décor is fantastic for all those who love a good vintage/nostalgic concept. The food and service were wonderful, and the manager provides personal attention to all his guests. There is valet parking, lot parking, and street parking. I highly recommend this restaurant for both personal dining and meetings.

This restaurant had a great theme that was incorporated throughout the facility. And the food was spot-on! Everything was tasteful and well seasoned. My husband had a delicious Bison BBQ burger with an amazing peanut coleslaw. He's not usually a coleslaw guy, but he was glad he tried it! The peanuts really balanced the slaw. I enjoyed my Poke bowl. The veggies were fantastic and the rice wine vinaigrette really brought the taste pallet together fully! We will definitely be visiting this restaurant again.

This is a great place to come for delicious food and drinks with friends. I can not give it a full 5 stars because it is extremely loud and the parking situation is difficult. You have to pay for valet parking since the street parking in the area is very difficult. The food is delicious even though the portions are small. This make it easy to order a few different things on the menu since all of it looks so delicious! Get here on the earlier side if you do not want to have too much of a wait.

An eclectic eatery with a fun theme throughout offering a variety of hamburgers, sandwiches, salads, and breakfast brunch dishes. Public School offers a new twist to the school yard with cute names for their menu. "Recess" is Happy Hour. "Liquid Education" is their drink menu with signature cocktails and Old School - drinks on every menu such as Margaritas, Vodka and Soda, Gin and Tonic. I enjoyed a juicy Public School Hamburger, which comes with Sriracha ketchup, mustard BBQ sauce, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, and American cheese with a side of crispy fries. We also munched on the Crispy Fish Tacos made with cod, cabbage slaw, white cheddar, Pico de Gallo, chiptole butternut herb dressing. I washed these down with a Hazy IPA. Public School is popular because the menu is so diverse. There is something for everyone. Plus this place has darn good sauces! Public School is located across the street from the Galleria Mall and across the street from the Top 40 Radio Station on the bottom floor of a high rise. Parking is cumbersome if you don't Valet. There is a pay by parking space lot farther down to the west. It is just a short walk up the street to the restaurant. There is outside patio dining, inside booth seating and a small bar.

First time here and I loved it! Friendly staff. Great prices. Nice atmosphere. They have food options for everyone. Vegetarian, Vegan, and Gluten Free Options. Went here on a Saturday night and it wasn't crazy busy which was nice. Great for a small gathering of people or a large group. If you go for cocktails I highly recommend a Classic Whiskey Sour. I had Megan as my server and she was tremendous! Attentive and helpful for any questions I had!

Bartender was knowledgeable and very helpful. They have great bloody Mary's. Their wings were delectable. Their gavalajara cocktail was also delicious but a bit on the sweet side.

We love all the new American / gastropub style restaurants that have popped up all over Sherman Oaks though Studio City, but we’ve been hesitating on trying PS 818 as their dinner menu seems limited for vegetarians. Enter their brunch menu - savior to all! Both my wife and I had the Fire-Roasted Vegetable Hash and eggs which came with corn, black beans, carrots, adobo sauce, quinoa and more. It was sort of like a a deconstructed Huevos Rancheros than a hash but it was still satisfying and tasty. The individual veggies kind of lost their identity the way it was prepared but, as I said, it was still tasty. The quinoa added sort of veggie “grounds” (as in fake meat) like texture to the dish. One of us had it with mozzarella one of us had it without. It was served with crispy tortillas that could’ve used a little salt. (My wife also added avocado with hers. The coffee, which is made it to order, was excellent and served with the kind of crema on top (that foamy layer), you usually don’t get with a drip coffee. It was very bold tasting, just as I like it. We also had an order of french fries which were also cooked perfectly and served with a barbecue mustard, and what was called a “sriracha” catsup up, though, in practice it just tasted like catch up. Also the hot tea available was Harney and Sons which is a premium, really good brand of tea, and it’s organic. The Bloody Mary’s which we saw brought to other tables looked delicious, though they did come with a chicken wing attached. All I can ask for as a vegetarian is that my cocktails don’t come with meat in them. I’m sure they can make it without it but still…since we had avoided this place for a while because of the non-vegetarian centric dinner menu, seeing the chicken wing attached to the bloody mary did remind us why we hadn’t been here before. Overall the food we ate tasted good and we wouldn’t mind returning for brunch sometime in the future.
