    my #1 spot in GR! good for casual dates, dinner/drinks, hanging with friends. sushi menu is served late. awesome sweet potato sushi! love the fish and chips. don't order the cookie skillet - bland.

    Really did enjoy the sushi. The sweet potato tempura roll was particularly surprising. Great balance of flavors.

    The Shrimp and Grits is a good dish. Shrimp was cooked well but I could have done without such a large serving of the grits.

    Pitchers of sangria (the mixed kind) are soooo good...and deadly...The mac n' cheese (get it with bacon & green onions!) is amazing too!

    Get the spinach and artichoke dip but have the kitchen add bacon and jalapeños. You won't order it any other way.

    The kobe tortilla salad is amazing. It isn't on the Republic menu but you can still order it. Warning: The girls working the front of the house are usually unorganized if it's even remotely busy.

    The help is amazing. The Morrocan chicken to die for. The cheeseburgers are average at best. Sit on patio if possible.

    The restaurant is spilt in two. The tables are super close together and really small. I was disappointed in the sushi menu. It was limited but the one roll we ordered was good.
