This place is the most authentic Haitian restaurant I've ever been to. The food was amazing, but I wish I'd gotten more for the price. However I can't complain because the ambiance was amazing. Rebel is small so the restaurant isn't noisy either. I'll definitely come back here again

The calamari was overcooked and underseasoned. The snapper was extremely salty! The black rice was bland. The drinks were mostly juice and had a medicine like taste. The only item I enjoyed were the mussels. I'm very disappointed because I'm a fan of First Republic.

We went to Rebel for my best friends birthday and had the BEST time. The service and staff was so great. We added people to the reservation multiple times and ended up with 18 people and they made sure to accommodate all of us. The food was amazing everyone was so happy with their meal, and the drinks were delicious and strong. They held a cake for us and brought out sparklers for the b-day girl. Overall great experience I will definitely be back

Food was delicious and hot. However, when it came to service, my friend and I felt ignored. The place was understaffed.We had to ask to get our complementary bottle of cold ice water. Our waiter had to unfairly serve almost all the tables in the restaurant. Another lady in a white dress was serving only one-two tables . While the one male waiter was serving the rest. There was also another waiter at the bar on her phone. She was the one who gave us our drinks, but she spilt them. Please with food that good, hire more ready-to-work staff, then I could rate you five stars.

Came here for a night out with my husband and our newly-wed friends who told us how good the food is. We had a great time and the food was really really good. Not a lot of restaurant who advertise authentic Haitian food actually has amazing food, thank goodness this one does.

Slow service, loud in a small place and the food was just okay. It was over fried. I had to repeatedly ask for a drink until I finally got one.

Service slow but good food. There was a fight that almost broke out. Some of the staff looked tired and did not want to be there. Spoke to us in a condescending way.

If you're looking for authentic Haitian food and I mean the real stuff and super fresh, well seasoned, and food with forethought look no further. I literally told the waitress, it's like a chef or a Haitian grandmother got on a plane from Haiti and landed as the chef of this restaurant. The food was fresh! Delicious and beautifully presented. Well done!

Me and my daughter met up with one of my good friends here.. I’m Haitian so I was excited to try a restaurant with food From my culture.. The Live Dj played a nice mix of French/creole and RNB music.. The bartender made us some amazing Cocktails-cosmopolitans to be exact. The Haitian paintings were beautiful .. Overall great experience.. food service was quick and the waiters were attentive.. We will definitely be back here Soon!

We were visiting from Ireland. It was our first time eating Haitian cuisine. Great flavours - very unique. Staff were wonderful, engaging and very welcoming. I highly recommend the stewed goat and the shrimp. Red snapper was also a big crowd pleaser.

The music is way way way too loud alll of the time Diners compete with the loud music to have a basic conversation Not a good place to meet up to chat Music levels may increase after a certain time I know many people who have avoided boosting due to the loud music. What a shame as the food is phenomenal
