re:public(regarding the public) lets its food take center stage. Simple, rustic decor - brick walls and dark woods - paves the way for creative lunch, dinner and happy hour dishes. Located in Seattle's vibrant South Lake Union community, re:public features French and Italian infused cuisine. Our exceptional chefs put extensive thought and care into each menu item including our house made pastas. We are happy to navigate the shortest distance between the farm and your table. The winner of Evening Magazine's best new restaurant in Western Washington for 2010,The Seattle Times gave re:public 3 stars out of 4, and great reviews keep coming in. Please come by and let us show you why!

    Our food was very meh. Not a lot of flavour and the server did not answer our questions accurately. The soup of the day was described as leak and artichoke but no mention of spice and it was definitely spicy. The server left while we were paying and there was a problem, when we approached three other staff who were standing around the bar to assist us, we were treated so rudely and told to go back to our table to complete the transaction.

    Nothing special. Bar food. Slow service for a Tuesday night. Steak bites tough and overcooked, as was the burger. Risotto caused stomach cramps for 24 hours after. Can think of many other places to spend $70 for a better experience, won’t be returning

    We shared the scallop and tartare appetizers followed by the cod dinner. Scallops were our favorite dish. There were a lot of pickles in the tartare, which overwhelmed the flavor of the meat. The cod was cooked well but the flavor combination didn't work. It had too much cumin or some spice that didn't pair well. The drinks and dessert were both delicious. Just not overly impressed.
