   Republica was outstanding. We wanted a special experience for our anniversary and we were not disappointed. Excellent, interesting food was coupled with attentive service. Hope to go again sometime!

   We enjoyed the history / anthropology that came with our dishes. It’s helped us to appreciate food as it is now and how we got there. Great food for thought and we won’t be seeing food the same way again! Also great NA drinks and lovely service. Thank you!

   Amazing service, and food was outstanding. We did the 10-course meal, and wine pairing. Well worth it. The dishes were beautiful to look at, and the flavor profiles were varied and so well thought out. The history of the food and wine was an added bonus. If looking for a special occasion place this, is it.

   I never leave reviews, but this one warrants it. We’ve been to many tasting menus, from small independent restaurants to Michelin 3-star restaurants, and this was just shockingly bad. The food was very poor. With one notable exception, the dishes were bland and uninspired. Several of them seemed like good concepts watered down to their most unpalatable, cheapest form. Simple things, like a corn pancake, were poorly executed (e.g., dry and crumbly; the caviar topping was tiny and poorly proportioned to the pancake). We ordered 3 different cocktails; 1 was good, the other 2 were mediocre. Service was poor. While friendly, it was rushed and sloppy. We did the wine pairing, and dishes were repeatedly served before the wine pairing. They repeatedly reused wine glasses, and gave rather stingy pours. Descriptions of the wine were inconsistently provided and focused more on the identity of the winemaker than on the wine itself. A course was served while one diner was in the restroom, which is appalling at a restaurant marketing itself as fine dining. The restaurant was a pleasant enough space. For the price, this restaurant is very bad value. The ingredients used were rather inexpensive, and nothing was done to turn them into impressive, enjoyable dishes. We typically linger at tasting menus, but about halfway through this one we started eagerly wondering when it would end. For the first time ever, we left a tasting menu hungry (we got mcdonald’s afterward, it was awful but still better than probably 8/10 courses). Only recommend if you don’t care about value for money, and have appropriately low expectations. But really, there are better restaurants. Try Lilia for a (slightly) better experience (don’t do the chef’s counter, though, just order the menu).

   The congee with chicken hearts and foam of creation was my favorite dish, reminding me of a porridge my mother made for me growing up. All 10 courses were delicious. I'd never had a wine paring before. It was interesting to taste how flavors can match so specifically.

    My wife and I shared an absolutley amazing experience here for our 24th anniversary. We went with the ten course tasting with paired drinks. Every bite was artfully prepared blending presentation, flavor, texture, smell, and pacing into a remarkable experience. The history and story presented along with each serving was as delightful as it was informational. The drinks were well selected and the additional cocktail we picked up was the best we have had! If you have the time (2.5 hours) and budget, you will get an amazing experience.
