We went back and forth to where we were gonna enjoy our "date" lunch and decided we want to start patronizing the "local" small businesses/restuarants rather than chain restaurants so we ended up at Republic Kitchen....and what a joke. They seem to focus on party's upstairs, maybe that's what is keeping them in business.. One server for the dining room which was also delivering food upstairs to the party. Took at least 45 minutes to get our food and it was ok, not horrible but way over priced. I'd normally cut the server some slack since she the only one on but her attitude was mostly the problem, not friendly at all! No manager on duty that we could see and we where there for almost and hour and 45 minutes. We wont be going back.
