The food was really good, but because of hard floor, hard walls and the 20- 30- something clientele it attracts it was very noisy, or “energetic” if you prefer.

Excellent food and service, we really enjoyed our dinner here. Not cheap, but seemed good value. Definitely recommend the Wild Boar Bolognese. Was rather noisy with an after-work drinks crowd.

Our party of six had a great time at Re:public Saturday night. It was much quieter than during the week and we were able to have a really fun dinner with friends. The service was really attentive and friendly. We shared a bunch of plates - the brussel sprouts and tofu were great, as was the chicken.

A Seattle Favorite – Republic Never Disappoints For my colleagues and me, a trip to Seattle isn’t complete without a meal at Republic. It’s become a tradition—no matter how packed our schedules are, we always find time to come back. The food, the atmosphere, and the hospitality keep us returning again and again. For me, the highlight is always the pork chop—perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and paired with some of the best grits and collard greens I’ve ever had. It’s the kind of meal you think about long after you’ve left, counting down the days until you can have it again. Republic isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a staple of our Seattle visits. If you’re looking for a spot that consistently delivers incredible food and a warm, welcoming experience, this is it. Already looking forward to my next visit!
