Republic of Texas Bar & Grill

The food and vibe was great, but the service severely lacking. We had a reservation and were sat shortly after arriving, but the whole meal took almost 2.5 hours for just a party of 2. The restaurant was not busy, but the appetizer took over an hour. The waitress did apologize and had the manager comp it. The entrees came out a short time later, but again the desserts were a decent wait time. We were the only guests in the section we were at so mainly we just felt like we were forgotten as the waitress did not come by for the exception to take orders and after food was delivered. We are from the Houston area and for how elegant the restaurant is, we expected better service.

Our filets were a tad overdone, but the flavor was still good. All the shareable sides were great, especially the mac and cheese and the brussel sprouts. The view is neat if you get seated at a table with a view.

This restaurant is immaculate! I love the great customer service from the valet gentleman to the host, the waiter, and the many staff that made sure we had a great experience! The food was delicious and the view is breathtaking! I enjoyed sharing this experience with great friends during our girls’ trip! I will definitely be returning.

This place use to be great! We came here for Valentine’s Day (02/14/2026). We had reservations for over a month, and we were never told that there will be a set dinner menu for the night and that each person will be $99. I ordered the shrimp & steak, it took 45 minutes to get it after I finished the salad. They forgot the shrimp, so I told the waitress, and she brings me out cold shrimp!! I tell the waitress that the shrimp is cold, so she takes the shrimp back. Another 30 minutes go by and I still don’t have my shrimp. She then brings out dessert, (not the shrimp I sent back). This was a 3 course meal that the chefs had a set menu on. I tell her “ummm where my shrimp? I wanted my shrimp, just didn’t want cold shrimp”. She apologized and bags it up to take home. I guess I’m getting cold sh

1 star for the entire experience! We were here to celebrate my girl's birthday, I never, personally would have chosen this place. I made an 8:30pm reservation & still had to wait. Once we were finally seated at our table the entire experience went downhill. The only thing that was done correctly was the request to be seated at a table with an ocean view. We ordered our dinner and salads to start, well it took over 15 minutes just to bring out the salads, this was a precursor of what was to come, or not. We finished our salads and bread and waited another 15 minutes and still no entrees. Well it's sad to say that after an hour and 15 minutes later, still no entrees. It was now 9:45pm and by now,3 loafs of bread later and only eating the dinner salads, we were ready to leave. It was only the
