Last night we went to celebrate a special occasion and the service we received was honestly just sad. I made a reservation for 4 people at 6:00. We were sat at a table, and over 20 minutes went by when the manager said he would be our server because none of the servers wanted to take on another table. Who says that when greeting a table? It took over 20 minutes to get our bar drinks, not one server walking by offered water for the table. We had to ask even though the pitchers were right next to us. Tiko mentioned to order quick. We did. We ordered 2 appetizers and were looking forward to trying the empanadas and chips and guacamole. The chips came with one dinner. The other 3 dinners came a good 10 minutes later but no empanadas. We asked for a second drink which didn't come either because Tiko was too busy prioritizing the large party that came in after us. I understand busy but this was unacceptable service. My chicken was raw and at this point there was no need to order a replacement. What was supposed to be a great night out turned into a night we won't forget but in a bad way. After receiving service like that we should not have had to pay a 20%service fee. Again I know how it is to work in a busy restaurant and this experience was honestly comical it was so bad.

I went to here with a group of 16 we made reservations ahead of time. We had one waiter who we learned was the general manager. The night started off with having to ask for our drinks several times. The coffee drinker got sour cream instead of cream for her coffee. Everyone at the table agreed the food was terrible, dry scallops, under cooked chicken, several mistakes with meals. Each mistake took a long time to fix.I asked the hostess to speak to a manager and she left briefly and returned saying he was too busy. Then I insisted they come out to speak with me. The person was rude, defensive and hostile . He told us to speak to the general manager who waited our table.That person was also defensive, belittling, hostile and rude! He was unwilling to do anything to resolve these issues . It was a terrible experience overall, the service and food are both awful.I would not recommend this restaurant!

Worst dining experience ever, couldn’t get water couldn’t get drinks the meals were not what was ordered, the manager was just plain rude, oh and the entrees, they were overcooked obviously been sitting around, they need a chef, a manager, and visit by the board of health!

NOT RECOMMENDED!Horrible experience!! We had reservations for a large party. Only one server. Drink orders were taken but took forever to be served. They were served 1 at a time. 3 were forgotten. One person asked for their salad to be brought early because they needed to leave. It was the last meal brought!. Scallops ordered were rock hard like dry chicken. We didn't ask to have it replaced because it took SO long to be served. When we spoke to the manager, he was extremely defensive. He said they were to busy. But they did serve us everything we ordered. Basically- too bad! NOT RECOMMENDED!

Very disappointed with the new management, food and drinks at Social Republic. Other than the decor being the same, nothing else is remotely close to as good as Republic at the Linden. Six of us went before the Bushnell: our food came at different times; drinks were not good; the quality of the food was low; overall bad service.We will not be back.

We recently had a meal here. The staff were polite and friendly, but things were extremely disorganized, as though nobody had experience in food service. It would have been fine for a counter service type restaurant, but not the model they were attempting. My hope is that they can improve soon. It is a good location and if they can return to the previous standard, it will be well worth a visit.

This was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had a restaurant. Used to be called Republic at the Linden located next to the Bushnell, this has been the go to spot before shows. It’s now under new management. It took 1 hour, yes one hour to get our drinks. Then they ran out of wine (completely) on a show night, and made the drinks wrong when they finally came. Food orders were wrong, portions were extremely small, and when we asked to speak to a manager, they told us no. The waitress took off 2 drinks despite the manager telling her he would not comp anything or come out to speak to any of the 7 angry tables. I’ve never seen anything like it. Avoid this place at all costs.
Excellent birthday brunch. Exciting, creative decor and food! A must try!

The decor and ambiance of this restaurant is excellent. Unfortunately, that's the only thing that is. Neither the quality nor the portion sizes seem to justify the price of the dishes. The hostess we dealt with wasn't very professional and the waitstaff seemed disorganized and like they were all new. It honestly got so absurd by the end that we had to just laugh at how ludicrous our dining experience was. I hope they can pull it together because it's a great spot with great atmosphere.

Decor is spot on. Rustic vibe lots of potential. The drinks were terrible, martini in a hot glass and the old fashion was nothing special. The food was horrible. We added chicken to the nachos for $10 and got $3 worth of chicken. The food for a party of 4 didn’t come out at the same time even though the restaurant was fairly empty. One person ordered a burger without all the toppings. The burger came out undercooked and when they tried to remake it it had all the toppings on it. Needless to say we did not try for a third time. The two other dinners had steak and the meat was low quality and all fat. The service was poor, the food was sub-par, the drinks were bad. I would not come back here and would not recommend this place.

The service was quick and the food was delicious. My wife ordered the scallops and I had the Italian Rustica salad with Salmon. The salmon was cooked perfectly. The atmosphere was relaxing and interesting to absorb.
