| - We didn't know what to eat for lunch on Friday...we were actually heading to Cafe Rio (another of our fave's), but at the last minute my wife see's Republic and mentions some of her friends loved it. Done, we change our course. And good thing
Interior: It's turned the old Irish pub cave (Fado) into a much needed comfort food establishment/ entertainment/ sports bar. The decor was a stylish modern vintage look with dark wood floors, black tables/chairs, vaulted ceilings, gold designed ceiling tiles, white brick walls, & a fire place.. RK can seat I believe they said 150-200 people with the upstairs area-which also boasts a pool table, multiple board games, booth & tables, and a WII on a flat screen surrounded by couches.
Service: The staff was excellent from the moment we walked in. Our server was Very friendly and thorough in explaining the lunch menu. Our drinks were topped off before we needed it, dishes cleared in a timely manner without feeling rushed, and when we asked certain questions about hosting parties-our server introduced us to one of the owners who gave us all the info we needed.
Food: It was a decent lunch menu. We ordered the Kobe Sloppy Joe with crispy Maui onions and fresh fruit bowl (I know...fresh fruit bowl hahahaha & the Steak em and cheese with fries. Both were very good. The Kobe Sloppy Joe was tasty esp w crispy maui onion. I enjoyed the Steak Em & Cheese...the meat was thin and you could actually take a bite without having to tear the meat. and it wasn't doused w velveeta cheese to make break soggy. The fries were crispy and served in a mini fryer basket which was a cool touch. The fruits were fresh-it wasn't just soggy melons...it had all your berries-straw., blue, rasp, pineapple, & melons.
The dessert menu was simple- 8 choices but we opted for the PB & J- peanut butter wedges deep fried tempura style served with a strawberry jam & chocolate dipping sauce. We are peanut butter lovers so this was was divine...with or without the sauces.
I was hesitant in writing this review because I am a selfish bastard and sharing is not in my vocabulary especially since RK is good eats and it's right in our backyard. But because I have discovered so many AMAZING PLACES by you AWESOME YELPERS all over the states- I will share *cringe*...hahaha We are sold on RK's comfort food and we can't wait to try their Sunday Jazz brunch as well as their dinner menu. All in alll it was a positive experience...good service & better food.
ITADAKIMASU!!!
