My favorite thing about Republic is the decor!  The bar is amazing.  The food is very tasty, and the wait/bar staff is friendly and knowledgeable.  Although I really enjoyed my dinner (I had the Salmon), I wish that there had been more entrees to choose from.  You have to try the mac & cheese, and I got to steal a bite of my friend's lobster pot pie...mmm!\nMy friends and I stuck around after dinner for a drink and some Wii bowling.  They also have a pool table upstairs.\nAlthough it is a little far from my neighborhood, it is definitely worth the trip.
