Update lol I did not mix it until halfway through, I added a brown sugar cube and noticed there was still cocoa on the bottom and I got a lot more of the espresso taste, made it honestly much better the espresso was still incredibly smooth and the cocoa was a compliment rather than the main taste still. I tried a clump of the cocoa powder and I think it's because it's not bitter at all, and mild sweetness- very good. The Americano was great, normally it tastes like just coffee and water but this was also blended and smooth For the drinks, the Night Rosée (non alcoholic) was great, it has ume, grapefruit, white tea, and soda. I thought the ice cubes looked great but my mom was not a fan of how little drink there actually was, especially since it was non alcoholic. I think that the blend of ingredients was very thoughtful, the grapefruit shows up but not overpowering, and has a sweetness that makes the drink overall satisfying. The service and ambiance are what MUST be talked about. You come in to a garden wall, mirror prism wall, a beautiful wood themed bar, a room with thoughtfully picked pieces, and a seating area outside that has a view of rodeo drive as well as another seating area that has wine glasses, cups, and everything laid out already ready for those who are getting something more than a drink. There is always calm music playing, and everything just looks cohesive together. In terms of the service, everyone is wearing a white collared shirt with navy crewneck/blazer, and it is clear they are all trained, when we first sat down it comes to the little things, we got served 3 different colored glasses which I loved, they were all themed like the green looked like leaves, the blue looked line lines like water, the orange looked like gems. But the glasses are placed and the water is poured the same way, same side and they move for every single person, rather than just getting all the glasses together. They move slowly with intention, same exact thing with the menus, opened for us

We were in LA for a few different reasons but were able to stop by a friend's book signing event…read moredown the street from this restaurant. We had the Saffron Rice Bites and Rigatoni Bolognese, and both dishes were great! The Saffron Rice Bites had ahi tuna, spicy mayo, avocado, jalapeño, and smoked trout roe. The highlight was definitely the crispy saffron rice underneath, which had a perfect crunch that complemented the fresh ingredients. Each bite was a delightful mix of flavors and textures, making it a standout dish. As for the Rigatoni Bolognese, it was a hearty and rich option made with grass-fed beef and topped with grated Parmigiano Reggiano; we asked for extra cheese. We dove into it so quickly that I forgot to snap a photo! The flavors were robust and comforting, making it an ideal choice for a chilly day. Speaking of the weather, the staff was incredibly attentive. When we mentioned feeling a bit cold, they promptly switched out a propane tank to make sure we were cozy. It was very thoughtful.

While your car is charging, it's the perfect time to step inside and take a break. Both the exterior and interior blend strong high-tech elements, and the space design feels cinematic. Especially with a row of charging stations outside, it gives you that unique vibe of "your car is charging while you're dining in the future," making it perfect for photos. You can order food either from your car or via the iPads inside the restaurant. The menu sticks to classic American casual fare--burgers, fries, milkshakes, and the like. The taste is pretty standard--not amazing, but definitely not bad. The pricing is more about the overall experience, so you're really paying for the atmosphere and concept. There are a few robots mounted on the walls, and on weekends, robots on the second floor even hand out popcorn . With two massive screens playing movies, it's a super photogenic spot. So if you're looking to experience a "Tesla-style futuristic roadside diner," or just want to charge your car while snapping some cool photos, this is a very iconic stop in LA.

Upon arriving, we had NO idea the location is kind of random for this diner. If you were not looking for it, you would not even know its the Tesla diner. There were ample supercharging stations around the diner and huge TVs above playing black and white films. We charged our car and checked out the diner. The diner felt very futuristic. Very sleek and modern design. The menu was filled with typical diner food such as burgers, sandwiches, salads, etc. We didn't order anything because it was too pricey. We also checked out the second floor rooftop which was nice and airy. You can enjoy some air, see your car charge, and watch the movie on the big screen. Overall interesting concept, but not really a spot I see spending that much time at. It's definitely more of a pistop than a destination. Fun to experience though!

The pizza tasted weird. Although they used wild mushrooms, I did not taste the truffle at all. I don't know why the taste was off putting. The burger was juicy and flavorful. The chicken wings were boneless, crispy and delicious. The salmon curry had depth in flavor and the sauce was addictive. The Brussels sprouts were also very good. Our bill was around $194, including tip.

​ 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.

Even with our rez, we still waited almost 20 minutes to be seated. The only other thing I did not like about this restaurant (and not much they can do to change it) is that there are only two bathrooms which get veryyyy busy and there is no room to stand and wait so you're kind of in the way the whole time. It's small dish style, so super fun to come with a group and try a bunch of different things. They had a ton of great options for vegetarians! It was a bit chilly outside but they have a lot of heated lamps on which helps a lot. I loved everything we ordered but I think my favorites (as a vegetarian) were the brussel sprouts, salatim, and the elote. The cashew pate and beet dip with the salatim were realllly good. The brussel sprouts were crispy and had a yummy sauce. The beet salad was good but I wanted it to have more of the goat cheese spread. The cauliflower was also really good - roasted and a little spicy. They had a fun list of cocktails and mocktails as well. The food came out at a good pace and I left feeling veryyy full. They were really sweet and even comped the dessert for our party which was very nice. We had the bread pudding and it was sooo good. I highly recommend eating here! It's an experience!

I honestly have no idea how this place has a good rating…read more We ordered, the falafel, the chicken sliders, mushroom pizza, street corn, shawarma tacos. The falafel was super dry - very little flavor. The mushroom pizza was the worst thing I have ever seen. It was some kind of flatbread and they melted some cheese on it that fell off when you pick up a slice, the flavor was bad and the dough is something you would expect at 7/11 The chicken sliders was ok, meat was juicy but no wow effect. The shawarma tacos was ok, we put the street scorn on top of it to get some flavor and make it eatable. I don't think I will come again, only good thing here is the service, top notch. The food not so good.
