We wanted an outside table but the wait was too long. We had oysters at the bar and they were tasty. We ended up inside. Menu is on the smallish side but there is a little something for everyone. I had the veggie platter my friend had the fish. It was tasty. Had brunch here also. Was busy but not too crowded they have a back deck that is partially shaded. There is street parking and parking behind the restaurant. The happy hour menu is only available at the bar during brunch. Try the biscuits!

Had a great Cinco de Mayo with my sister here. Got shrimp tacos which were amazing!! Skirt steak , very very tasty with delicious sauce & kitchen even managed to do half of it more done for us! Korean fried chicken, yummy, so tender & moist with more a seafood coating. And then we added oysters, because why not! Fresh & delicious.

Don’t judge a restaurant by its location. It is only out of necessity that I would venture out to Takoma Park, especially for good cuisine, when there’s plenty to enjoy in the District.

This was my first time at the Republic for dinner. The decor, music and atmosphere are inviting. Our hostess greeted us with a smile. Our server, Douglas, took great care of us. We ordered the All veggie everything, carrot salad and wood grilled Chinese broccoli. Our hats off to the chef. It was delicious!

I’ve been coming to Republic regularly for months now. I’m never disappointed by their high quality menu and MOST especially by their beer selections. They’re now doing flights of local craft beers and have a fantastic indoor and outdoor space. Got kids? Family friendly. Gay or lesbian? They have a night. This Takoma neighborhood bar is a place you should visit. Pictured, the delicious shrimp sliders (the oyster version is also fantastique.)

Another good dining option in Takoma. Large indoor bar and dining room tables, some with plush sofas to enjoy your meal. The outdoor alley has always been our choice for dining on nice days, and it has been expanded due to the pandemic. Cannot go wrong with happy hour options every day!

The only way this could have been any better was for me to get a place out on the patio. I read good things about this place on TripAdvisor, and they weren’t wrong. I started with six oysters on the half shell, and they were perfect. I then moved on to the grilled watermelon salad with a portion of grilled salmon. The salad was fresh and tasty, and the salmon was cooked to perfection. I had a glass of really nice prosecco to go with the main course. Afterward, I decided to have dessert. I chose the chocolate flourless torte, with what I think was homemade vanilla ice cream, and a macchiato. It was the perfect end to a great meal! Viva la Republic! If it wasn’t so far away, I’d be a regular!!

Hands down, the best gnocchi I have ever had. Great atmosphere. Good service. We started with half dozen oysters and draft beer. Delicious.

We went out for drinks after playing Ultimate Frisbee at Nolte Park. You’ve got to try their oysters and the drink The facist killer. This was my first time here and I really enjoyed the atmosphere, food and conversation. Don’t forget to look at the bar menu there are lots of good options on the menue I defiently recommend the cauliflower.
