Rupublic gets \"like\", not \"love\". Caveat: i've only had lunch here...I'm sure dinner and weekend brunch could be much better.\n\nHad the berry salad and something light from their drink menu (that's bad if I can't remember). My date had the shrimp caesar. Nothing was horrible, it just wasn't spectacular. I don't know, something about the ambiance set my expectations soaring...only to skid and bounce to the ground.\n\nThey definitely lose a star for the crappy brunette waitress who couldn't crack a smile to save her life. Sorry for bothering you with our order. I did note (with envy) a guy serving food to other tables who looked very friendly....he did have an owner/manager look to him though...so who knows.\n\nAnyhow, may try it again for dinner or brunch and update this review."^^ .
