    I have always had great food at Republica, last night was not an exception. Brought family with me who had never been and they loved it as well! Baked Brie appetizer and shrimp app were delicious. My ribs were great, sauce was thick and flavorful with just the right amount of zip and tang. The burgers, beef and lamb, others had looked wonderful and were reported to be outstanding. We were stuffed, but had to split a piece of the day’s homemade dessert, lemon cake with cream cheese frosting. I am so glad we did. It was lemony, moist, dense, and the frosting was a perfect compliment to the lemony cake itself. The service was welcoming, attentive, knowledgeable and pleasant. 10 out of 10 for certain.

    My husband and I came in a cold Saturday afternoon for a late lunch, one other person in the bar. Ordered soup of the day an overly thick clumpy cream of chipotle chicken. Very spicy I liked it husband did not. A great value tho as it was $3 when we ordered a burger. Burger really good house made chips excellent. Key lime pie ok.Service was good. Overall a nice experience - (saw and smelled! Some fantastic looking and smelling fajitas-would definitely try those next time. A good local place.
