Reviews
The food is great. The place is clean. The lighting is adequate. The paintings are so vivid and natural. I love the Haitian ambiance. The staff is very nice. We celebrated there with a group of 20+ people and they all had fun. Some of them flew from Canada and Spain and stated they were so happy to taste Haitian seasonings and flavors. Thank you all for making this a great time. We felt home.
This is my honest review and opinion on First Republic in Elizabeth NJ I’ve been here three times I’ve only been inside once which is why I give them 3.8 out of 5. First of all when we walked in this time there was no host my wife and I almost left and just went to the Brooklyn to get Haitian food. We finally found a server she didn’t even want to seat us and the restaurant was pretty empty. At most restaurants the waiters will give you water and ask you what do you want to drink with a smile not at first republic. I can’t blame them 100% I can tell they haven’t been trained. The cons were the service the only reason the ownership and management gets away with bs service is because the other Haitian restaurants in Essex and union county don’t have liquor licenses if they did first republic would be out of business. The pros we’re definitely the food and ambiance food was good the chef deserves a raise. I will reiterate again food was good service was trash like I understand In Haiti and the Caribbean service isn’t our strongest attribute but I’m in NJ I expect better it’s like they give us bs service because they know black people are coming to the business because we all know if white people were coming here they would accommodate and fix it in a matter of hours. So I’ll give them one more chance but I doubt they’ll change.
Food and music delish. You know Caribbean host have attitudes but they were nice enough that can always improve. Deejay was pretty good playing a range of music expected kompa and rumba and afrobeats and kozumba and more. Atmosphere is decent the entry fee is stupid since the food pricey for small portions but I would splurge again.Food: 4/5
I ordered food here for the first time. I had a pretty large order, their pork, vegetable stew, fried red snapper, macaroni, and 2 different types of rices. Everything was delicious! The service was great, and the restaurant was nice and clean. Everyone was patient and explained the menu to me. I highly recommend and will absolutely be going back.
My cousin and I have gone to one of the best Haitian restaurants in the tri-stateNY,NJ,& CT, First Republic Lounge & Restaurant on April 16,2022. Our waiter recommended our drinks & service was great. The food was amazing,not to greasy and or oily. The drinks were okayI thought it would have been strong. It was kinda pricey in my opinion but it was worth every penny. Great service,will always get a great tip from me. It wasn’t my first time there and it won’t be my last time. I highly recommend you go there.
I have been to this place a few times but this is my first review. When I arrived I parked on the street and walked in. I was greeted by the bartender and she was very nice and had good conversation. I ordered a sangria and the vegitarian legume with black rice to go. The sangria was pretty good and so was the punch drink I ordered. The food usually takes long to come out so I am glad I had my drink while I waited. The food finally arrived and I paid about $47 for 2 drinks and the food. When I got home I dug in and it was pretty good and there was plenty. I had a pretty good experience.
Nice cozy spot to eat and relax. They have parties there alot which is great for publicity. Decor and atmosphere is great. Full bar. Love the fact that it's a haitian restaurant that is legit and been up and running for awhile.Food: 4/5
Excellent spot for Haitian cuisine. Beef Legume was amazing. Paired deliciously with the rice and sweet plantains. And of course the Pikliz which is always a must. The Akra for an appetizer was an excellent choice. I will admit the prices are a bit high depending on the entree of choice & the protein, but the flavor makes up for it. We did also have to wait a bit for the food to come out. Overall excellent food, would love to return.
Hands down the best meal I’ve had the pleasure of tasting. This dish was phenomenal. I asked our server to tell the chef how amazing it was. The atmosphere was welcoming, the menu is small, so I can understand why the food was so delicious. If I’m still ever in New Jersey again, I’ll definitely make a point to go back to First Republic.
Great place and great food. I went with my cousin
