B-Rod at LA Weekly deems chef Walter and wife Margarita Manzke's casually sophisticated Republique worthy of three stars. While service sometimes lacks, Besh is especially keen on Margarita's desserts and wine director Taylor Parsons' "outstanding" wine list: "Yet from ice-cold oysters through soft scrambled eggs on toast topped with sweet, saline uni, to a dry-aged, 32-ounce, $125 cote de boeuf, République has the potential to be just about any restaurant you need it to be on any given night … Margarita Manzke's rustic desserts are often easily the highlight of a meal … République is already an incredibly compelling restaurant."
