Best American Restaurants in Oak Park

The place was great. Think the food was a tad under. Had the Branzino and the flavor was excellent but the crust could be flakier. My date had the short rib and it also had great flavor but could’ve been brought up to a higher temp to be more tender. Atmosphere was great! We appreciated the coat check as well. Want to come back for drinks soon.

We had an absolutely great evening! The food was superb, and Gary did an awesome job. Everything we had to eat was well prepared and the pacing of the meal was just right. The ONLY thing I would recommend would be to dial the violin player down about 2 clicks in volume. His music was beautiful, but just was a bit too loud.

Great vegan options! The food was delicious and our waitress Karyn was extremely nice.

Garrett was our server and he was very nice, he broke the menu down really well and easily and let us know what the specials were. The drinks we had were really flavorful and strong (in a good way). The Paella I had was really good, and so was the spicy lobster roll. My girlfriend had a spicy lobster pasta and her opinion it needed a little more heat and cream to the sauce. Overall, we had a really nice time and would definitely come back

I have always had great food at Republica, last night was not an exception. Brought family with me who had never been and they loved it as well! Baked Brie appetizer and shrimp app were delicious. My ribs were great, sauce was thick and flavorful with just the right amount of zip and tang. The burgers, beef and lamb, others had looked wonderful and were reported to be outstanding. We were stuffed, but had to split a piece of the day’s homemade dessert, lemon cake with cream cheese frosting. I am so glad we did. It was lemony, moist, dense, and the frosting was a perfect compliment to the lemony cake itself. The service was welcoming, attentive, knowledgeable and pleasant. 10 out of 10 for certain.
