Tried Mrs. fish for the first time for anniversary reservations and I loved it. The ambience is gorgeous and the art on the wall gives the best finishing touches to the interior decor. The food was 10/10 everything was very flavorful. Every single worker went above and beyond to make sure our visit was enjoyable, I definitely have to give them credit. We came during happy hour so everything was at a really good price, quality of the food was an amazing and the service makes me likely to come back! Definitely recommend

The food was outstanding and the service was excellent. There are so many "fancy" restaurants in Los Angeles where the food is disappointing, but this was not one of them. Having known about Republique for many years and seeing it on many "best" lists I was prepared to be disappointed, but it met my expectations. My parents and I were very pleased with our meal, the service, and the ambience which is beautiful. It qualifies as one of the best restaurants we've eaten at in Los Angeles, and is deserving of its designation as one of LA's top restaurants.
