Wow! 🤩 My recent trip to The Rebel Restaurant and Bar in NYC was simply unforgettable! ✨ The food? Out of this world! 🤯 Each dish was a masterpiece, a true testament to culinary artistry. 🎨 I'm still dreaming about it! 😋 Seriously, if you're looking for a memorable meal in the Big Apple, this is THE place. 💯 The atmosphere was buzzing with positive energy! ⚡️ Everyone was so happy and friendly, it felt like one big party! 🥳 And the service? ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Raph and his team were absolutely incredible! Their attentiveness and kindness made the whole experience even more special. 🤗 They went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic time. I felt truly pampered! 🥰 I can't recommend The Rebel enough! It's a must-visit for any foodie exploring NYC. I'm already planning my next trip back! 🥂 Definitely deserves all the stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Went there on a Saturday night had reservation for 10:45 for a Bday dinner. When we got there the place was packed nobody greeted us. We basically had to find our own seats, once seated we waited about 40 mins for someone to come to our table and nobody came. We got up and went to order drinks at the bar. The bartender refused to serve cause he claimed he had a lot orders but once was offered a big TIP then accepted to take the order. We went back to our table and stopped one of the workers and asked if we can place order we was told no because the kitchen had a lot of orders and wasn’t taking any more orders for the rest of the night. Bday dinner was ruined the bday person didn’t even want to go anywhere else so we just want home felt bad cause I booked this place. What a waste of time we drove all the way from The Bronx for this. NEVER AGAIN
