Terrible Service!
Saturday, February 16, 2008
I must agree with the previous diner's review. I have been to Republic several times, to keep "giving it a shot" but always leave un-impressed by the food and just annoyed by the service. But tonight was the worst, when the hostesses would not seat us (table of 3) since the kitchen was 20 minutes from closing (it wasn't even 10pm). When she finally said we could walk back ourselves and see if there were tables open in the back (which I image should've been her job as the hostess...), we were not allowed to sit at any of the 10 open tables, already fully set for service, but instead were told we had to cram into a packed table, which if the restaurant was busy I could understand, but it was just unneccessary with so many open tables available! The staff was completely rude and didn't even pretend to be accomodating. I've learned my lesson -- will NOT go back.
Cons: POOR SERVICE
