    Wife and I went to celebrate our Anniversary and enjoyed it. The service and food were great. The personnel looked like they enjoyed working there and the servers were kind and we didn't feel rushed. We don't normally order mixed drinks or dessert but did so and even with an appetizer and steak entree's, spent about $115 not including tip. I would definitely go again, but could probably do without appetizer and/or dessert since the entree's were pretty good portions.

    Service was good, making birthday celebration special. All 4 plates of steaks were overcooked and very tough.

    I was not impressed! I was disappointed with the very long wait times even though the restaurant was not busy on a Thursday afternoon. I ordered one of the “local favorites” chicken fried steak and it tasted as if the oil used was old and rancid. I did like the sides, mashed potatoes and corn. I think I just expected more considering it’s hard to get a reservation. Not sure if I will visit again…

    We booked The Republic for a business meeting and ended up staying much longer after the lunch because the conversation setting was just great. The waiter did an excellent job and provided fast service, remembered our orders, was courteous and friendly. It was my boss's first time there and he had positive reviews as well. The chimichurri steak salad was excellent! We'll be going again soon!
