What is the sentiment of the following review?
Ever since the Yelp event, I had this place in mind for the company holiday luncheon this year. At the last/most recent Yelp elite event at the Republic Kitchen bar, the question I asked most of the people that I met, was if they had gone to the event- and for the most part, the consensus was yes, and they all raved about it (because the food was sooo good). Today, it was a group of eight of us from work. The appetizers we sampled were: chicken, bacon and cheddar rolls, onion rings- both served on long heavy wooden platters, and a cheesy mac casserole- served in a round skillet. We all shared a creamy chocolate milkshake (yeah, it sounds funny, but this way we all got a taste plus we wouldn't ruin our appetites either- our server brought extra glasses and metal straws- never saw that!). The sandwiches range from $12.95 to $14.50- served with waffle fries dusted with chili and cocoa powder, different, huh? Ok, it sounds weird, but it actually worked- it was just enough chili powder (mmm, love spice). The dipping sauce was yummy. Since I went to the yelp elite event which was primarily mini sizes, I didn't know what the standard sandwich size was- so I ordered the Max's sandwich of the seas- seasoned salmon( flavorful), carmelized red onion (so sweet- I love red onions), aioli, tomato and lettuce on a huge bun (I had to ditch the top side; it was just too much bread for me). My coworker sitting next to me, had the Brenner burger but only had half and she took off the onion rings (saved the other half for her husband to enjoy later for dinner). The coworker across from me also had the Brenner burger and said that it was good- but he didn't really eat his fries, so my other coworker ate them; he had the monte cristo sliders served with syrup (cute little things- only two though; but he ate one, and took the other one to his wife- this would be an appetizer size rather than an entree, I'd think), another coworker had the quesadilla, cut in quarters, served on shredded tortilla strips- he finished it and said it was really good, another coworker had the philly paninis (four petite things- I had them at the yelp event so I know that the beef is super tender- probably one of the best things I had at the yelp event), another coworker had the Best Balt- bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato, cilantro-avocado mayo (I glanced at hers- there was a lot of avocado- I love avocado). We all had non-alcoholic drinks. The bill was a little over $216. Half of our party was sitting on the booth part and the other half were sitting on chairs (they had to put tables together- the wrought iron bottoms were kind of awkward; had to rest my feet on top of them, or risk getting my feet crushed!)- we were in the front of the restaurant, facing the store part and kitty corner from the hostess out front. Our heads (the ones at the booth part) were near the stacked humongous blocks of chocolate ($250 each!). Our server was so good about tending to us and really was attentive, bringing us refills, extra napkins and clean silverware. The other servers were attentive as well, taking away all the dirty plates and serving dishes. It was pretty busy in the restaurant- the whole shopping center was buzzing with shoppers/tourists. (FYI: Taking the back way- Frank Sinatra- is a breeze.) The bathroom is located upstairs. In addition to the chocolate store inside the restaurant, there is a to-go bar outside (chocolate pizza slices sold here), facing the foot traffic inside the shopping center.
