From the moment we walked up my husband and I I had a wonderful experience, the host was courteous, and our table was ready for a 6:00 pm reservation. Ryan, our waiter was awesome, food was delicious and came out quickly, yet we were not rushed and we enjoyed a beautiful meal before our concert at the united theatre next door. Just a beautiful evening.

We had a lovely lunch and our server was very attentive without being overbearing! She saw to our every need and took very good care of us! She made sure we were able to have our meal and make it to our show on time.

We really enjoyed our first visit to this restaurant. It does feel very French the way it is set up, informal, and cozy. The food was quite good. The menu is not extensive, but what is on the menu is outstanding, and you will find many standard French dishes here. Recommended!

A beautifully prepared and presented, perfectly portioned multi course menu which focused on the quality, seasonality and locality of ingredients. Chef was personable, exceptionally knowledgeable and precise in a way that speaks to both care and experience. An experience I may book a flight just to have again (yes, even in this economy 😊) It was truly a joy and I look forward to returning.

We love Republique as our go to special occasion restaurant. We’ve been going there even before the Covid pandemic. They have always been consistently great! Kudos to Sade (front desk supervisor), she always makes us feel like family visiting.

    We were late of our reservation. We called to let them know. They graciously seated us with the next seating. The receptionist and all servers were warm and friendly. Our server recommended a lovely wine that I loved based on some wines I’ve liked in the past. He obviously has a good knowledge of not only the wines on their menu but other popular wines. Overall it was such a great experience. Highly recommend
