    My wife and I loved it, the food was great, the service was excellent, we’re def coming back. It’s been a while since I had some good Haitian food, it most def reminded me of a home cooked meal. The pikliz was def spicy and good. We’re coming back for more tassot and chicken with djon djon rice…..

    Although it is a popular restaurant for the younger generation. As for a seasoned foodie like our group, we found the food to be just average, nothing special. The service was lousy; we had one server for the whole restaurant when we got there. As it got busy, the hostess started to wait on some tables. Some dishes were ok; the griot was mostly fat, and the beef dish was a little dry. Stick with the appetizer sampler; it's the best thing in the house.

    Food was great but they added a gratuity to my bill that I was not aware of and not stated on their menu.

    Well-prepared Haitian food and drinks. Food takes longer to prepare but I hope it's because it's freshly made.

    Always a great time at Rebel. We had the Griot, Legume, Chicken, and Macaroni au Gratin. We also had plantains and chicken wings as appetizers. Everything was really great, especially the macaroni. Drinks were also on point. Always enjoy celebrating family events and look forward to going back next month to celebrate my Mother
