    One of my favorite finds this year, without a doubt. Everything was made so beautifully and with such elegance. The service was impeccable, the space felt cozy and inviting, and I'm already looking forward to coming back. The food quality and taste go without saying...

    Amazing food! We ordered a mix of, sandwiches, dips, and salads and every single item felt thoughtfully crafted. The croissants were perfectly flaky and buttery, layered with fresh greens and fillings that tasted bright and balanced. The puff pastry sandwiches were rich without being heavy, and the flavor combinations were elevated but still comforting. Even the dips (paired with the soft, pillowy bread) were a standout! The flavors were delicious in addition to the beautiful presentation. Can't wait to come back! I can't pick a favorite because they were all unique in their own way. You're just going to have to try for yourself

    The Wagyu beef roll here was absolutely incredible. What really stood out was the unique blueberry beet sauce--surprisingly, it worked perfectly and elevated the flavor of the beef. We also had the truffle fries, which were crispy, well-seasoned, and served with a distinct aioli that added a nice depth. This place is a new addition to the area and definitely a hidden gem. I'll 100% be back. The octopus looked interesting too, and I might give that a shot next time.

    I ordered the Wagyu beef brioche with beet-blueberry cream and was not disappointed! The owner is extremely friendly as well. I will be back to try more of the menu! Wishing you all of the success!

    Delish! everything was very fresh! I got the wagyu beef brioche and my mom got the tabouleh (which has pomegranate molasses which is my favorite) with a cheese and spinach samsa. The beet and blueberry sauce on the wagyu beef brioche was not too sweet which I LOVED because I am watching my sugar. Narek the chef was so nice and gave us a sample of the hummus, muhammara, and baba ganoush to try!

    Love this place. I've been coming here for years, and it's become a tradition for a friend and me…read moreto meet up every few months on a Sunday to catch up. I'm a big fan of the QR code ordering system. No waiting around or trying to flag someone down when you're ready for another coffee or want to add something to your order. At this point, I've probably worked my way through half the menu, and I honestly haven't had a bad meal here. Parking can be a little annoying, but that's the Valley for you. Wait times can vary depending on when you go. Most of the time, a party of two is seated within 10 to 15 minutes, but occasionally it's immediate. Great food, a laid back atmosphere, and a spot I'll keep coming back to for years to come.

Ordering is now done through your phone, or, if you're like me and prefer human interaction, you can walk up to the counter and place your order there. Unfortunately, the traditional waiter-service (although there was a bottle of water on the table) experience is gone, which took away some of the charm that restaurants used to offer. For me, that was a bit of a disappointment. Ironically, I still found myself tipping the cashier. As for the food, there were some highlights. My wife's avocado toast was excellent--fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. My chilaquiles were tasty as well, but not without issues. The eggs were cooked over easy and were much runnier than I would have preferred, and the chicken portion was surprisingly sparse. Overall, the meal was good, but the experience felt a little less personal than it used to. The food still has its moments, but I have to admit, I liked the old Blu Jam better.

The show was interesting and entertaining as well! Our server Gayane was very attentive and friendly, always checking on us, and maintaining a clean table. If you are party of 6 and/or more, they offer a set menu with a different price range ($135, $175, $250 p/p). Since we were only party of 2 we had to order from a menu. Cheese platter, salmon carpaccio, vinaigrette salad, wague beef, & bronzino. A manager or the owner came to our table with a plate of lamb chops, as a token of appreciation, that was very sweet-thank you! Everything was delicious, however, if you really hungry the portions are small, it won't satisfy you. We had a big lunch earlier, so we felt great with it. Another great touch was, they have a photographer that goes around the whole evening, and takes pictures of the guests. Within few minutes you get an offer of purchasing your pic in a nice frame for $20 (a fare price in my opinion). Even though we didn't need all 3 pics of us, we still purchased them all in support of the photographer's business. In all, yes it's pricey, and adds up quickly, but absolutely worth it! We will be back. I highly recommend this restaurant for a birthday celebration, or even if you just want a special evening with your significant one.

    ​ An Absolute Masterpiece of a Lunch!…read more ​My friend was visiting from New York, and I wanted to take her somewhere truly special for lunch. Since it was our first time at République, we didn't quite know what to expect, but we were completely blown away! From the atmosphere to the service and, of course, the food--everything was flawless. ​The Main Event ​Blueberry Pancake: My friend ordered this, and it was huge and incredibly delicious. A total crowd-pleaser. ​Filipino Pork Belly Adobo: I ordered this and was so impressed by how rich and deeply flavorful it was. Absolutely delicious. ​World-Class Service & Hospitality ​The service here is incredibly efficient, but what really made our day was the staff. Rambo took care of us and he was fantastic--so pleasant, attentive, and proactive with everything we needed. ​We also had the absolute pleasure of meeting the owner! It was so impressive to see her on the floor working just as hard as the rest of the team. She was incredibly nice and you can tell she truly cares; we watched her personally ensure the quality of the dishes was on point before they ever left the kitchen. That level of dedication explains why this place is so successful. ​Do Not Skip Dessert! ​Before you leave, you must hit the pastry counter. We grabbed a few things to try, and they were sinfully good: ​Kouign-Amann: Flaky, caramelized perfection. ​Basque Cheesecake: Rich, creamy, and beautifully baked. ​Chewy Chocolate Cookie: Perfectly textured and decadent. ​We had such a beautiful experience here. République lived up to the hype and then some. We will definitely be back, and we're bringing our friends and family next time!

    I had my rehearsal dinner here last week and all in all it was a WONDERFUL experience…read more We reserved the kitchen area for 32 guests with a set menu served family style. The food was INCREDIBLE and I was SO pleasantly surprised by how much food there was! We ended up with soooooo many leftovers! Family style meals always make me a little nervous, but the portions were plentiful and all of our guests left completely stuffed. The bread and butter was a standout, as well as the corn puff pastry appetizer (I can't remember exactly what it was called!). The steak and chicken main courses were to die for and the strawberry tiramasu was incredible. I could go on and on about the food. It really exceeded our expectations. Jared, our server was WONDERFUL. He was so attentive and on top of things. He communicated with my husband and I whenever he needed to and made our entire dinner so seamless and fun. The only downside to the experience was in planning the evening. I struggled a bit when it came to communicating with Sandra in the days/weeks leading up to our dinner. I didn't feel like we were a priority and often had to call or email multiple times to get a response. I found that to be very frustrating, especially because it was such an important part of our wedding and in the days leading up to getting married, the last thing I wanted to be doing was waiting on an email from the restaurant or hunting down a response about our beverage menu. I was also really bummed to see that when we got to the restaurant, our dinner menu had the wrong date printed on it. I wanted to bring one of the menus home as a keepsake, but it felt pointless when I saw the typo. There were also drinks on the beverage menu that we had never discussed, which was another disappointment. It ultimately didn't ruin our overall experience, but I think it's worth noting for other people planning larger dinner parties at Republique because I do wish a little more care had been taken on the restaurant's end while planning our dinner.

My only minor complaint is that there were a bit too many caramelized onions for my taste. The staff was friendly throughout the meal. We'll definitely be back to try the lamb chops, which the lady working there recommended to us.
