Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Jose Camarena

From the OpenTable editors: República has been a critical darling since it opened in 2020, garnering raves from Bon Appétit, Eater Portland, and more. Sit in the sleek and intimate dining room to dine on chef Jose Camarena’s ambitious, Mexican-forward dishes—think seared, tobiko-topped scallops in a foie-infused masa “cone”—accompanied by personal anecdotes and historical details about dishes from attentive servers. An excellent Mexican-leaning drinks program rounds out the singular experience.

The food was stellar! Each course a master class in the indigenous and trade route history of Mexico. The flavors danced, and flirted, and then married into deliciousness on the tongue. I cannot tell you all the courses. Though I did get a lovely gift of the evening's menu, so perhaps I will later amend this for a description of each. It is unlikely you will ever get this specific menu again. It had been a long time since my last prix fixe chef's menu. Especially one this large And then adding the wine flight. The wine flight was perfectly paired and delicious. It brought very fresh fruit flavors and deeper Pinot Noir roundness to absolutely delicious food. I might suggest pacing oneself better than I did. I was a tad inebriated. Then again it was our anniversary, so why not? Come enjoy this the moment you can. It is a treasure of warmth and comfort, as well as quite informative. They explain each dish's origins as they serve you. But come for the food. It is transcendent!!

Fantastic meal... had some tastes and textures that were out of this world. I'll be thinking about that corn ice cream dessert for a long time.

Wow. We’ve been to Del Noche and Lilia Comedor and absolutely loved them, but republica has raised the bar even higher. From the moment we walked in were treated as valued guests and received the best service we’ve had in forever. The food is world class and the chef made sure that the ingredients and preparation were the star of the show. Service was perfect. There when we needed it, not there when we didn’t. Every single person we interacted with knew everything about the menu and their pride in their workplace showed. This place is expensive, to be sure, but it’s a worthwhile treat and we’ll be back. Gracias Todos!

Service was spot on, professional, not stodgy; food was nice but, frankly, overpriced for what’s delivered

Too rushed. Courses came out too quickly. Could have been, should have been more relaxing. Courses could have been somewhat more robust. Hard to eat 7 courses and still be hungry. But food was excellent. Wait staff great and attentive but food descriptions were fast / rushed and thus hard to hear and take in.
