Wife and I had a great dinner last night. Great vibe. Friendly and outstanding service. Manilla claim linguine was excellent. House old fashions rocked. When in South Lake, worth a drop in. read more

We absolutely love Re:Public and are glad this venue has been able to remain through pandemic and also maintain quality and availability despite ongoing supply chain issues. This place has one of the best late night menus in the city, and items are marked gluten free or vegetarian. I usually get the steak bites and my partner and I will split the brussel sprouts. He's gotten the miso tofu bowl and the bok choy at different points but felt the brussel sprouts were definitely better. Friends have gotten the burger and the Mac and cheese, pretty much everything on the menu has been a success (with the exception of the bok choy). I usually get earl grey and tea and partner gets an old fashioned where I'll steal a sip. He's also gotten various whiskeys, Angel's Envy, High West Midwinter Nights Dram, among others which has been a fun experience exploring new whiskeys while enjoying old favorites. This is nice spot to go to for a meal and drinks before or after plans downtown. read more

We walked in and not nicely greeted by a hostess in a camo jacket which made us hesitant; however, after being sat our server was on it! The place is a little loud but the ambiance had a good feel. We had the New York strip which amazing. The mac and cheese with prawns and pork belly was equally delicious as well. The price of a three person meal with drinks was about $150, not bad for the quality of food. Hostess should be more welcoming is my only complaint but still giving five stars read more

Love the service, food, and every single person that works there. They're an amazing crew that pays attention to detail and presents an amazing experience as a whole. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone. My favorite item is the wild boar bolognese read more

I highly recommend this place and definitely will be going back to try more menu items! The ambiance, food, portion size, price were very impressive. The entire setup felt very COVID safe. We dined in their outdoor area which was clean, spacious, heated and covered. Food: we started with the Manila clams and the steak bites. Highly recommend both! Both dishes were very delicious and the portion size for both was large so definitely shareable. We shared the wild boar bolognese and the meat was so tender and tasty! This too was a generous portion and perfect for sharing. We also did the dessert and that did not disappoint either! Our food came out pretty quickly and the staff was attentive! This was such a great experience read more

Decided to stop by today as the reviews looked good. First of all, I will say the drinks were very good and extremely well made. Food was was poor... we got the steamed clams and the flavor was great but the dish was pretty cold when it was brought out which is concerning for a seafood dish... My husband got the NY strip steak -- wasn't expecting much but the steak was very unevenly cooked. Parts were completely charred and well done and some spots with barely any pink but some... definitely not medium-rare. It comes with a chimichurri sauce on top which was EXTREMELY acidic. It tasted like it was 99% red wine vinegar. I ordered the seared halibut and the "consumé" it was served in was not much of a consumé, picture more of an oily red broth that is over salted. Fish was over cooked and oily. We were the first party in the restaurant and there was only one other party there and the food took an extremely long time before it was served. Our waitress was very kind and compensated us some for the wait which was very nice as we didn't even complain about this; she just had realized that the experience was not so great so she did her best to make it right. Overall, good place for a drink but I'd stay away from any food... read more

Love this spot! Great for HH, dinner and late night eats! The staff is great and super easy to book reservations. Everything on the menu is yummy! Ambiance is always on point. read more

My daughter was celebrating her 13th birthday and she saw their menu online and wanted to go there for the wild boar bolognese. Nowhere do they indicate they are an over 21 bar. The name is re:public restaurant and bar. Since when is a restaurant over 21? They should call it "re:public bar" if the whole place is considered a bar. We sat down and the server gave us attitude and was like "oh no, we're over 21 here." As if it's public knowledge and we should have known. I would not have cared as much if it weren't my daughter's birthday and if she didn't have her heart set on the bolognese. Luckily, there are plenty of good options within walking distance. We left and found another place. I've been there at other times. The food is good but not good enough to deal with the attitude. Very disappointing experience. I hope they fix their name or make it more clear that it's an over-21 establishment. read more

Was finally able to try this place out tonight after walking past it so many times! We and my girlfriends had a Ladies night out and decided to try this place for dinner. All of the food looked amazing but we settled on a few appetizers and main entrees. We ordered the Buffalo wings, Brussel Sprouts and Fries for starters and all of those were good! For Entrees we ended up ordering Manila Clams Linguine, Garlic Shrimp Salad, and the Shrimp and grits! Everyone loved their food! I do have to admit the Manila Clams Linguine didn't have much flavor at all. I was kind of disappointed. I probably won't order that again but I'll come back for sure and try the other dishes. We brought our own wine for them to uncork. The corkage fee was $25 which wasn't too bad to split between 5 people but definitely wouldn't do that for a cheap bottle of wine. You might as well buy your own glass there for cheaper. We sat outside because fresh air and COVID which wasn't too bad as it hasn't gotten entirely cold yet so it was still pleasant. Service could have been a little bit better but overall they attended to us fine. I would definitely recommend to others to come here and I will definitely come back here to try more dishes and maybe one of their cocktails next time! read more

First visit was an event after a work offsite and they knocked it out of the park! Food, service, and atmosphere were great for a large team. I have the NY Steak and it was amazing! The tofu was even incredible. read more

Recently held our team dinner here. It was easy to work with management to book and they accommodated our group total even with last min changes. If you are looking for somewhere quiet, this is not the place for you. While we were placed at the back of the restaurant, it is quite bustling and loud so it did feel like I was unintentionally yelling to have a conversation with my coworkers. Next time I'd consider for a HH with friends vs for work. Initial service was timely for drinks and appetizers but waiting for our entrees took a bit of a wait since the whole restaurant was packed. Ordered the brussel sprouts, bok choy, charcuterie, extra bread, and fries. I'd probably reorder all but the bok choy again. I ended up ordering the pork chop and cheesy grits for my entree. The pork itself was cooked just right but I didn't really prefer the marinade which was sweet/tangy and overwhelmed the sautéed greens and pork. The grits were a bit chunky and not oozing with cheese. I surprisingly liked these. Big portion and I ate the rest as leftovers the next day. Overall not bad but just depends on the kind of dining experience you are looking for. read more

Very delicious the meat was excellent the way I asked for it to be cooked medium rare.

Came here for a Sunday brunch. We initially went to Portage Bay at 11, but the wait was about 50 minutes. Then we found out that re:public opens at 11 and also serves brunch. When we walked in the restaurant was more than half empty, and we got seated right away. I ordered the classic benedict (house-made maple sausage and Hollandaise sauce), with the sauce on the side. We got our food not long after. The eggs were perfectly cooked with very flowy yolk; the maple sausage was meaty and chewy, with a hint of sweetness; the toasted brioche was soft/fluffy. One bite with all of them in my mouth was absolutely great! I'm not a big sauce person so even without any of the Hollandaise sauce, there was enough taste for me. The breakfast potatoes were mediocre, a bit too greasy for me I'd say. Price was reasonable: my benedict was $13. Service was nice and timely. I'll probably return for their lunch/dinner. read more

The food here was not that great, honestly. I ordered the fries & baguette as appetizers. The baguette was good but the fries were so salty; I had to dust them off because of how much salt they had. I also ordered the tofu bowl & felt that the restaurant was trying way too hard with their ingredients. The sauce they added tasted weird & tangy but not in a good way. The black rice was okay but the creamy sauce they mixed it with made it have a weird texture & flavor, almost trying to mimic risotto. Honestly wouldn't come here again read more

Re:public is an excellent restaurant in South Lake Union. It has kind of a rustic interior with exposed brick. Parking can be a challenge, but definitely worth a visit. They have a good drink list with a nice selection of wines (the reds pair very well with several dishes). There are several great appetizer choices. I tried the filet bites, the broccoli, and the Macrina bread (with garlic). All were excellent, but my favorite might have been the filet bites. They were cooked perfectly and just melted in your mouth--I could have easily had four portions of this. The broccoli was really good also. It was charred just right and the sauce was delicious. Then every restaurant should offer Macrina bread--and the roasted garlic was a great idea. For the main course, I had the wild boar bolognese (based on very positive Yelp reviews). It absolutely lived up to its expectations. It is a little bit spicy, but so savory and fulfilling. The pasta is superb (and fresh) and the boar is just perfect (not that I am an expert on how boar is supposed to taste. The risotto and duck also looked really good. For dessert I had the bread pudding. No surprise, this was really good also. It was different than many bread puddings--it is kind of deconstructed with loose pieces of apple and bread. It could have used a little more whipped cream, but really tasty overall. read more

Came for late night foods. Got the steak bites, sliders, and fries. All delicious, one downside is the fries came out well after we had finished everything else. Waitress was a delight. Place is very loud, but we were expecting that. read more

I'm torn here. We swung in for happy hour and loved that they had more than just fries and drinks. I'd say 3.5 stars, but rounding down here because two of the three food dishes were disappointing and that's why I came here. Mussels for $11 were great! Love that they came with fries that were great to dip into the spicy broth. 3 pork belly baos for $10 were really sad. They looked great but lacked flavor, sauces and overall depth to them because of it. I ended up just giving it to my bf to finish because he's a dumpster and will eat everything. I love baos, but I just couldn't do these. Roasted cauliflower for $5 was also really underwhelming. Overall just soggy like it was sitting under the heat lamp in oil way too long. For beverages, their bourbon, grapefruit and honey drink for $7 was really nice. read more

re:public is an upscale restaurant & bar located in South Lake Union. This is where the happenings occur on the weekdays with happy hours from 4-6pm, many small plate selections and a handful of beer and wine specials. The large video screen and various TVs make this a good spot for friends and family to grub and watch whatever sporting event on screen. I like the upscale impression because this makes for a nicer ambiance to the typical casual pub. It's a nice change of scenery with more tasteful looking foods. The vibrant, solid colors pop out from the industrial background to give it a somewhat classy and tasteful look amidst the hipster age. Blackened Ahi Tuna. Wasabi. 7 Spice. Soy-Ginger Sauce. One of the first small plates that came out was presented on a matted, black plate. Its rugged edges and imperfections scream out potential plating beauty with the smeared sauce and lightly placed tuna, which BTW was very soft and tender. The tiny crunchiness from the salmon roe complemented the smooth tuna very well. Seaweed is seaweed. HAHA. Garlic Chili Prawns. Bacon Lardons. Lemon. Cilantro. This was so good that our table ordered another one!!! It looks so simple and it's usually something that I wouldn't order at a restaurant because I believe I can make my own bomb shrimp.. This appetizer was on point! The basic skill that every chef should know to do is how long to boil/cook the shrimp for so that it's perfectly cooked but not beyond that thin line where it becomes overdone and rubbery. Beyond that, it's the sauce that distinguishes one shrimp from another. This sauce? Savory and delicious yet not heavy on the stomach. Smoked Cauliflower & Prawn Linguine. Chardonnay. Kale. Charred Lemon. Smoked cauliflower say what?! Let's turn a healthy, neutral vegetable into something crunchy and tastyyyy! Again, the shrimp was done perfectly. The sauce was lightly creamy and the linguine was al dente! Le parfait entree. Manila Clams. White Wine. Laurel Leaf. Lemon Zest. Grilled Baguette. Needed a squish of citrus in our seafood and maybe we had too much shrimp dishes already so we delved into the other direction with these Manila clams. Soft and chewy with the crunchy, toasty baguette. Wild Boar Bolognese. Pappardelle. San Marzano Tomatoes. Chili Flakes. Parmesan. And last but not least, the infamous bolognese that everyone on Yelp has been raving over? Do I understand the Yelp fuss/hype? Yes I do! But maybe because I am also biased towards loving the pappardelle noodle and loving the bolognese meat and sauce all year round. How can you ever beat these two together as the classic Italian dish? I always want to order it, but need to fight the temptation to try other dishes too. This one? Is P.E.R.F.E.C.T. read more

I ate here on a Monday night at 5 pm. The good part was it was not crowded, it was quiet so we could talk and service/food delivery was rapid. All that said , I was disappointed in the menu. Almost every dish had cheese, butter, deep fried food or red meat. For example - a seafood pasta dish was in a butter sauce and the tofu dish had deep fried tofu. I was disappointed there were very few healthy options. I ended up getting the salad with cut up shrimp added to it. The greens were fresh but it was just nothing special or memorable. read more

Takeout order was fast and delicious. I wouldn't choose to dine in as the decibel level was off the charts.

Finally tried this place last night with a friend! I love the vibe at Re Public! The place was packed with younger and older crowds and there's ample amount of room/seating. Place was busy so it's understandable there was a little longer wait. We ordered shareables from their happy hour menu - Brussels sprouts, beef filet bites, chicken wings, etc.. Everything we tried was delicious.... even the Brussels sprouts which I don't normally care for. Definitely going to try more items from their menu! read more

Solid South Lake Union pub-ish restaurant. Good options for food and cocktails, especially if you're a whiskey/bourbon drinker. Reasonable prices too! read more

Great happy hour and amazing service. Found this place looking for discounted drinks and ended up with some really great eats! Happy hour at Re Public includes $11 mussels and $5 wells. And my God, those mussels were bomb. Frites were great, but maybe skip the aioli trio - the extra money isn't worth it. I had a signature cocktail and a local WA beer. Best thing here was my server, he was so cool and suggested everything I ordered. Not to mention he suggested things we do around the city because we were traveling. Would highly recommend. read more

Happened across Re:Public on a Sunday seeking brunch. Boy did they deliver!! Everything we ordered was creative and tasty from the breakfast salad with poached eggs to the Peaches & Cream French toast with crumbled cookies on top...oh my! Service was friendly and on point as well. If you are looking for a new brunch spot this place is definitely worth a visit. You might as well splurge and get an order of whatever the French toast special happens to be to share. It's enough for several people but the creativity is worth the calories. Our only criticism is they don't open til 10am for brunch. 9am would be better - next time I'll opt for the 1/2 price champagne and linger even longer. Well done Re:Public! read more

I booked for a event with 14 people - 5 days in advance. Even then ended up with two separate tables placed such that the group could not talk ! It was a very difficult set up to work with ! There was one staff member who was very very rude ! Specifically- i.constantly snapping at us (almost disrespectfully) about moving away from Aisle when they gave a group of 14 people two table which are not set up for the group to talk/move freely. ii. When we asked for a a place where we could talk, were told "DO NOT move the table" like really snapping and not polite way ! The only good thing is food. read more

When every other restaurant and bar in the area is reserved out by every Amazon or other tech company co-ed group, come to Re:Public! They have an excellent happy hour and great table service. The server was great about keeping our water glasses full until we were about to walk out the door. The food was generous in portion size and uniquely delicious! The shrimp with chili sauce was asian inspired and completely satisfying. I loved the cauliflower dish and felt satiated after my shrimp, cauliflower, and wine meal. Happy hour prices made going out in this area affordable and service was quick. I highly recommend this spot for gathering after work with friends or co-workers. read more

Context: Visiting from California, first time, ordered to-go, September 2020, during covid Service: personable, kind, efficient Food Ordered + Comments: Brussel Sprouts - delicious, satisfies all basic taste bud necessities, flavorful, great texture. Steak Bites - tender, juicy, addicting, I could eat these all the time, sauce/juices is perfect. Large charcuterie board - pretty sad, this is what I expected the small to be, not large at all, bread was hard and stale af. I realize sourdough is supposed to be hard, but you can tell by texture it's tough to chew the center of the bread. I imagine it was toasted again to reheat and consequently we get that texture. Meats and pickled items are good. Cheese tasted good but they were cut terribly, it felt like they gave us scraps of whatever they had leftover, spreads tasted fine but the combination of all the items felt like they didn't go together (it could be just our taste preferences). I think 3 completely different spreads are better than 2 types of mustards and a jam. Garlic shrimp salad - I love shrimp and they delivered on flavor, they don't give you those tiny baby shrimps, they jumbo. The dressing is amazing and all of it feels fresh. Risotto - wasn't mine, but my friends said it tasted amazing. His gf kept stealing bites so that says something right? Overall: I'd go back again. Food is great quality and wonderfully flavorful. I wouldn't recommend the charcuterie board, but maybe it was an off day. Atmosphere looked great, I hope to dine-in one day. read more

This was my first visit, and I met up with a colleague here tonight who was visiting from out of town. We had heard that there was a good whiskey selection, and indeed, there was a chalkboard above the bar with numerous whiskeys, bourbons, and ryes listed. So naturally, we just ordered a bunch of the house Old Fashioneds. They were VERY good. None of that trendy muddled fruit nonsense; these were the real deal, garnished with a maraschino cherry and orange twist. Against my better judgement, we also ordered some food to snack on. The fries looked hand-cut, and were perfectly crispy with just the right amount of salt, and served with ketchup. We also got a half dozen "hot" wings, which were, what I'd consider to be "standard" Buffalo-style wings. They were flavorful, but not particularly spicy, and they were literally dripping with sauce. Order extra napkins, but get the wings. These are probably the best wings I've had since I moved to Seattle, and I usually prefer wings dry. On a strange note, the booths were unusually comfortable, which I appreciate - normally, when I sit in a booth, I sink down into it, and feel like a little kid who can't quite see over the table. But these booths were every bit as firm and supportive as a regular chair. The service was rapid and attentive, but watch out! or they'll steal away your glasses, dishes, and extra napkins before you're done with them! re:public is very close to the office I rarely step foot in, but perhaps they are a good reason to go to work more often. I'm looking forward to my next visit. read more

Ambience is great, extremely comfortable lighting!! The food is simply delicious!! The Bolognese pasta was amazing, the fries were pretty good too! (if you don't mind them a little more well done and not so crispy, but they're definitely made from scratch in the house which was amazing!). Drinks are also really good, and the service we got was fantastic, even getting there close to the kitchen closing time they gave us full service!! Would definitely come back and recommend to everyone!! read more

Nice open restaurant that's good for happy hour or weekend brunch. Ive been several times but felt particularly compelled to review after trying it out for brunch. Because well, the food was just yum! Got the avocado Benedict... delicious. Sister got the sausage and mushroom scramble.... even more delicious! Potatoes on the side were thin and crispy, just how I like it. Coffee was also nice and bold, and typically I'm not a fan of restaurant coffee, I'm a bit of a coffee snob. Got the grilled zucchini bread to start with my coffee. It was just ok, expected it to be better. Sweeter than i prefer and didn't have the rich spices of many zucchini breads I've had. Service was also good. All in all a pleasurable brunch and nice place to drop by when in the area. read more

In celebration of a short week due to 4th of July, my VP of Sales decided to treat the entire sales team out to lunch.
