when so much attention is focused on decor and atmosphere it usually means that the sacrifice will be the food. At Republic they manage to have a great looking space and provide attentive service and delicious food. well done. The monte cristo appetizer and the pork sampler main course were perefct in answering the need of a meal that is all about taste and not caring about calories! some may complain about service being a bit slow but thsi is not McDonald's the idea is toi enjoy the entire meal and company you are with not dine and dash.
