Republic 23 Lounge — Attraction in Bergenfield

I came out to support my friend hosting and the flyer that was being promoted states that ladies were free before 11pm and I was inside before 11pm and had to pay $20 to enter and myself and two of my friends were the only guest inside. The ladies at the front were extremely rude, unprofessional , and not helpful. We get seated at the table and nobody comes to us , not too sure what the protocol is . Again we were the only guest. My friends walks to the bar to ask about ordering food she was told she could only order chicken wings and fries , no problem. She was told that someone would come over to take our order at the table. Probably about 15 mins later I then walk up to the bar to inquire about service. ALL of the workers were sitting at a table looking around to see who was going to assist me . Someone then walks up to me to tell me that my friend ordered which isn’t did she was waiting for a server to come over . At this point we were all completely confused. My friend had to walk over to the bar again to inquire about food then someone directed her to the menu which was very weird because she was just told that there was only chicken wings meanwhile there’s a whole menu. About 20 mins two orders come out , and all the servers were looking around clueless. All in all this place isn’t...

The girls and I met up for brunch at this newer spot. When I arrived I parked nearby on the street. We walked in and the spot was cute. It gave me a club vibe. There was a party of about 10 of us and lets just say they really couldn't accommodate such a large party for this spot. They had to put smaller table together on sort of uncomfortable stools to sit. They did have a vip area but no one wanted a bottle so we had to settle. The menu for brunch was fairly small so I went with the mimosa at first. The server Brianna was super nice and attentive, I will say that.

So let's get to the bad stuff. The drinks took a long while to come to the table. While I waited I went to the restroom and it was coed with no lock. The toilet paper had something on it throughout which I was not feeling. As for the food, it took forever to come. I was going to order but had to leave. One girl ordered over an hr and a half and by the time I left still didn't receive her food. The server said the kitchen was backed up, which was kind of ridiculous because there wasn't a whole lot of people in there. I am guessing they must of only had one chef. For my mimosas I paid a little over $18 with gratuity. The DJ was great and so was the server but everything else needs a...

I visited here almost a year back but just catching up on my reviews. Based on other reviews looks like nothing has changed, so I guess my opinion will not be outdated.

Location was pretty decent and the ambience was really good, with some great DJ Music. This was a Caribbean Themed Brunch, so we were all really looking forward to the Food and Drinks. Unfortunately, the Pros of this place ended there.

Our party was squeezed into 2 small tables put together even though there were many comfortable Tables empty and unreserved. Guess they were holding out for those who might order Bottle Service. There wasn't much of a crowd (3 Tables seated) but our Drink orders took forever. Most of the Food items from the Caribbean Brunch we wanted to order was no longer available even though it was only 30 mins past the Brunch start time.

After waiting for almost 2 hours with no food, we finally decided to leave. I am not sure whether the Themed Brunch was not planned properly or the Management is always this bad. Only positive is that they comped us $100 from our overall...
