Absolutely delicious! Dover sole was wonderful! Venison was fantastic! Baguette and butter with pan drippings a must!

Deborah

The food was unique and incredibly delicious. The complementary appetizers (mushroom soup and beignets) were delectable. The service was very attentive. It seemed that there were at least 5 people taking up the plates, filling the water, cleaning off the table. The highlight for us was the Brussel Sprouts salad, with roasted sprouts, applewood bacon, pecans, radicchio, apple cider vinegar. The portions seemed larger than the last time we were there. For 2 people, 5 courses is a bit too much. Next time I would skip the pasta course.

This is consistently one of the best restaurants in Los Angeles. I've been eating here since its inception. I've never been disappointed.

This is a great special occasion restaurant! The food was delicious and all of the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. There are many unique dishes to try - something for everyone. We will definitely go back.

Great location, ambience, and definitely still a scene to be seen. Having said that, I came for the food and it does not disappoint. It's amazing which is no easy feat with such a busy kitchen and world class competitionin L.A., the appetizers are creative, thoughtful and well curated. The potato leek beignet, duck liver mousse tartlette, carrot ginger soup, tuna tartar ... beautifully presented. My main course was the Dover sole a la meunière expertly deboned and served table side with lemon and browned butter, simple sincere a classic. Beautiful and generous fish enough for a family of four - I ate it all! I was reminded this was the dish that inspired Julia Child upon arriving in France that set her on her culinary journey. The kitchen was very generous with sending out surprises, as was the sommelier. The wine list is well informed and worth exploring. Best of all is the staff, truly a remarkable, professional, and friendly team that worked very hard to ensure every aspecect of the dining experience was the best. Bref, on mange trés bien chez Republique, merci à tous!

Amazing food and service. Some portions were a little small, but they also packed a punch of flavors.

Went for dinner. The hamachi was excellent. Lobster pasta was somewhat fishy tasting—lacked a richness I had hoped for.

Shane

Best part is the env. Good taste fixtures and setup. Some dishes are pretty fine. The food and service are just okay. Not worth the price.

I always sit at the bar. The food and cocktails are fantastic; but the hospitality and professional service from the bartenders is the reason I return.

Rina

So happy to say that this restaurant is back to excellence.  All the great appetizers and main courses are back on the menu. One of the best restaurants in LA thank you for your commitment to excellence.

I've always enjoyed the food at République, which is why I chose it to celebrate my birthday. Unfortunately, the experience this time was disappointing. I had texted the restaurant in advance to request an indoor table and mentioned it was for a birthday celebration, but it seemed to be overlooked. Other tables celebrating birthdays received a card and dessert, while we didn't receive anything. We had a 7:15 pm reservation but weren't seated until 7:35. Once seated, our server appeared attentive to surrounding tables but seemed to disregard ours. We felt overlooked throughout the evening, which made what should've been a special occasion feel less than. I still appreciate the quality of the food, but the service experience left a lot to be desired.

Repulbique is IMO, still one of the best restaurants in LA. From start to finish everything we had was delicious! Our cocktails were lovely and they started us off with several amuse-busches that were tres yummy. I suggest going with at least a party of four so that you can try more things because there is so much great on the menu. Our dinner last night consisted of: bread and Normandy butter; yellowtail tartar, little gems salad, Santa Barbara spot prawns, rissoto with white truffles (their in season right now!), duck and napa valley lamb. The som helped us to select two fabulous small production Burgundy's to accompany our meal both reasonably priced. Service was attentive and dishes coursed out with good timing. We sat on the patio which at first, I was unsure of but, by the end of our meal, we enjoyed the relative calm. All in all, highly recommend!

Irene

Consistently outstanding restaurant with amazing food, stellar service and welcoming ambience. The french fries alone are easily the BEST in town, as are the freshly baked baguettes. Incredible pasta, duck etc. Great wine list and cocktails.

Susan

Excellent meal with a variety of small and larger shareable plates. Excellent, attentive service. The outdoor patio is much quieter than inside.
