    The drinks were great, the food very good. The only problem, too many steps for older folks! We had to use the service elevator to get down to our table! Beautiful views made up for the inconvenience.

    Reservation at 8. Was seated at 815. Front ladies had no care for customers and chatted to themselves loudly. Got seated at 1 of many already empty tables. Waited over an hour for our food. The food was greasy and small tiny portions. Au gratin potatoes were burnt on top and under done inside. Waste of money to come here and it'll be a large amount you waste.

    We were there to celebrate our anniversary. I had requested a table by the window so we could see the bay. We were seated near the window, but not with an unobstructed view. The window table was reserved for a proposal that didn't happen. I also verified they had gluten free items on the menu. I was disappointed that it was just the mundane. Steak, grilled chicken, grilled fish and of course the plain veggies. As someone that is spending 50 plus per plate I don't want something I can cook at home. My husband go the pork chop and it was wonderful. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about gluten free and also conferred with the chef. The ambience was nice and Kevin was phenomenal. Not sure that I will return unless they improve the menu.

    We hadn’t been to Republic in a while. It’s taken a major hit. Cold food, poorly seasoned steaks and poor food presentation. The food took forever to come out and it was cold. There’s no excuse for that. Appetizer plates not removed before entrees served is unacceptable. The views are amazing but honestly, I don’t think we will go back at that price point for mediocre food.

    Perhaps the best dining experience we have had in years: Food at every course was superb; server Chris had impeccable understated timing and the atmosphere and view top notch

    Had a mixed experience with the food here. The main thing that disappointed me was the 12oz ribeye. It was far thinner than one would expect, which was probably part of the reason it came out medium instead of medium rare. The char (or crust) was disappointing--more grey than brown. The bison, on the other hand, was extraordinarily tasty. Quite thick and perfectly charred, it was little on the rare side of medium rare, but we enjoyed it thoroughly. The brussels sprouts were tough and had much less flavor than one would expect given that they were cooked with pork belly. The potatoes au gratin were workmanlike, and the caprese salad (beefsteak tomatoes with mozzarella and basil pesto) was refreshing--quality tomatoes and mozz, good balance of flavors and textures. The escargot was amazing--a little smoky, just the right balance of bite/tenderness, and presented in just the right amount of garlic butter. Wine was reasonably priced and served at the perfect temperature. Top marks to the professional service--Chris and Yasmine provided the exact right level of attentiveness, appearing at precisely the right time, every time. This is a 3-star review, but don't get me wrong--this was a nice meal in a very nice place. But for the price, I would expect a more consistently high level of quality across all the dishes.

    We had a wonderful experience at the Republic for Father’s Day. Great place and great service. The steak could have been better quality, the filet was thin like a ribeye not like they show on the website. But, overall I would recommend the steakhouse for the views and service.
