Trade Bar & Lounge

Excellent breakfast burrito this morning. And can these service employees be any nicer? They are amazing and very helpful with menu guidance Ambiance is total modern chic and you'll feel like your being spoiled as a celebrity Good price good food good service

Had breakfast after checking out before heading home. The food was very expensive, $8 for two eggs and $8 for two small pieces of sausages. It wasn't very good either. The device was poor as well. We were at a table of 4 and 2 of us got our food 10 minutes before the other 2. My wife got a meal for $22 that included eggs, a piece of bacon, 2 pancakes and potatoes. The pancakes tasted worse than store bought box pancakes and everything else was bland. Overall, I was was very disappointed and would not recommend eating here.

Trade is the lobby restaurant at the Hotel Republic Autograph Collection. During my short business stay, I got to try Trade for happy hour, late night bites and lunch. All three of my experiences were great. Bartenders provided prompt, professional, and helpful service. I really appreciated my bartender at lunch for advising me ordering two appetizers would probably be too much and to enjoy another glass of wine with the spectacular Tuna Tacos. This hotel offers the great benefit of a complimentary happy hour glass of wine or cocktail, which was awesome. Observed many guests not tipping on their complimentary cocktails however, which is not cool as the bartenders do a great job there. Ambiance is posh; while it can get pretty packed with corporate party guests, I could always find spot for one at the bar. And they even let me order a simple light grilled chicken breast to go late in the evening so I could have a healthy bite before my morning business meeting. Highly recommend this hotel and Trade when in Downtown San Diego!

The hotel this resides in essentially forced me to eat here during my stay, but I was pleasantly surprised with the breakfast menu. The apple crème brûlée French toast was sweet and delicious as was the açaí bowl. What really put the açaí bowl over the top was the dollop of creamy peanut butter - it's really not your typical fast casual açaí bowl. The chef certainly puts thought and time into these dishes, with each one more delicious than the next during my stay at Hotel Republic.The atmosphere is lovely with many modern elements and a variety of seating arrangements, and their wait staff is very friendly and attentive. Overall my experience here was great - I would come here again of my own free will :)

This restaurant is in the lobby of Republic Hotel. It has nice interior decor. We came in for brunch but had to wait about 20 minutes to be seated and another 20 minute to get food after we ordered. We ordered the "eggss anyway you want it" and acai bowl. The eggs were pretty standard but the acai bowl was amazing. We also ordered the mocha which was decent but nothing spectacular. Overall, this is a nice place to eat but only if you have time to spare!

I had a great experience, in fact, I had such a great experience I had to review instantly (Sunday morning).I didn't catch our server's name but she was great! She made suggestions and answered our questions. The ambiance was pleasant, we were served promptly and our food was quick as well.Our party ordered:Farm fresh eggs, pancakes, nutella stuffed french toast, and a side of bacon.Wow everything was delicious! ... especially the pancakes I must say!Yes, everything is overpriced but I think it's worth it due to the high quality ingredients, location, and ambiance! Again our server was so nice, pleasant, and courteous! Note: I'm a Marriott titanium elite so I did get the breakfast comped but overall, I Highly recommend the restautant.

Breakfast: very good, but expensive. Dinner: Food is good, but dinner menu selection was limited. Service was in the slow side to get menus, etc. once I ordered, the food came quickly. Brought out by a woman I assume was the manager, who was very friendly. Good live music during dinner. Most of what the restaurant had was the convenience factor, as I am staying here for a business trip. Ambience is kind of odd, as it is literally in the hotel lobby.

Ordered a midnight cravings Dessert.Went and ordered at the bar downstairs around 1130ish. Disappointed they don't offer bone marrow anymore (it's still on their menu tho) We ordered:Cheesecake($10)-came with berries, and Carmel drizzle-reallly good!!! It was the perfect combo whether you took a bite with fruit or driZzle or ice creamSalted Carmel Ice Cream ($6)- came in a coffee upWe had to wait awhile - but had good conversation with a fellow hotel guest. And the bartender taking our order was really nice and gave us waters while we waited. Sooo disappointed I forgot to take a picture...

$29 shrimp salad is wild. It was good but definitely pricey. Only ate here because it's staying at the hotel gives you $25 food credit daily. Sat down near the bar in the restaurant and waited for seem like at least 5 minutes to see no service. I got up and asked the bartender how I'm supposed to order food and he said he would be right with me.

The food was ok. Nothing to write home about but also not horrible. We ordered the breakfast burritos and they were a decent size.
