average food, horrendous service
Friday, December 17, 2004
The food is acceptable, though the noise level when it's crowded is second only to Gonzo in the West Village--don't go there with quiet friends!
But the seater had a major attitude problem. I went to the restroom and when I came back and sat down, the seater accused me of having switched seats, and to move because he needed to seat more people. I told him that HE had seated me here. He said I was lying and that I'd switched seats. He kept telling me to move until I started ignoring him.
Bad service is pretty common, but this was a new low even for New York. I'm not going back to Republic; if I wanted to deal with this sort of garbage, I'd go back to my old job.
Pros: ok food, fast
Cons: , noise
