    Republic has the best service, food, and ambiance! They were fantastic from start to finish. This dinner was for a special birthday celebration. The food and drinks were absolutely amazing, especially the Gulf Shrimp Beurre Monte & Dirty Texas Martini. The service was outstanding, making us feel like VIP guests. The vibe of the place was stylish and inviting, setting the perfect mood for a memorable evening. I highly recommend Republic for anyone looking to have an extraordinary dining experience that will leave a lasting impression.

    The only reason why I didn’t rate everything outstanding was that we were in the high top tables. Much prefer standard seating. But Ryan was an excellent waiter and food was good. Mashed potatoes were just warm not hot like the rest of the meal so cooled quickly. Salmon was perfect. Steaks were almost perfect (had to send one back for a bit more cooking).

    As a partially disabled person recovering from major surgery, no one (hostesses, waiter) seemed to care about accommodating us at a table. They put our party at a high chair table which was painful for me. Even though the waiter saw me standing up, he didn’t care. He was ready to give us food for take out rather than making an attempt to reseat us. Not going back to this restaurant. They lack empathy and common sense

    We made a reservation but had to wait 20 minutes while the table was prepared. We waited 10 minutes to get waters. Drinks from the bar took 15 minutes to arrive and a soda didn’t show up until we were almost done eating. Food was moderate. Not worth the price. We both had the chicken fried filet which had little meat and was overall bland. Mashed potatoes were clumpy. It felt that because we did not order the most expensive cut of meat, that we were not as important as other tables. Would much rather spend money at Casa Do Brasil. I do not recommend.

    This is one of the best steakhouses in Texas for food, service, and ambiance. It’s been consistently great for the past 4 years. They also have hands down the best bourbon selection of any restaurant we’ve ever been at.

    We've been to The Republic numerous times over the last two years, and this was the ONLY time we've had a less than outstanding experience...weird. Our server was polite, but didn't have much of a personality. Our food was average...my daughter, literally, had a filet last week at Texas Roadhouse and said it had more flavor than the one she had at The Republic. My filet was, actually, pretty tough...certainly not up-to-par. We certainly expect more from The Republic, but, perhaps, it was just a bad week/weekend (graduation). We'll be back, and hope to be "wowed", again.

    Excellent food with great service. Quiet setting even though it was a full house. The most tasty pork chops and oysters. But 2 of the 5 in our group are gluten free and there are not enough gluten free options. And no desserts offered except fruit & ice cream.

    This was our first time at the new location. Dark and mysterious! Certainly causes a sense of relaxation and escape. Michael our server was excellent all around. We all had beef filets--one was the raw version. All enjoyed. We also had a couple bottles of Spanish Tempranillo, Riber del Duero--which we really enjoy and appreciate the reasonable price. ($47 I think). My appetizer was the Tuna Tartare--large and delicious--shared by a couple others. One small suggestion: The chips you use break too easily. I would suggest another sturdier version of chip. I have had the dish elsewhere, and their chips are sturdier. Much thanks Cathy Loving
