At Rebellion Wine Bar, we have created an experience based on comfort, accessibility and epicurean delights. While Rebellion is truly homegrown in Cocoa Village, it was inspired by summers spent visiting relatives in Tuscany, along with extensive industry knowledge cultivated in various metropolitans. One thing that defines Rebellion Wine Bar is our extensive and exclusive offerings of natural wines. Natural winemakers celebrate the uniqueness of their grapes and regions, rather than strive for consistency in the marketplace. For our foods, we continue our emphasis on well-crafted fermentation. The menu reveals an array of cured meats, aged cheeses, as well as pickled vegetables. We especially pride ourselves on our locally sourced baked sourdough bread for our divine grilled melts, which unite childhood nostalgia with artisan quality sandwich making.

    We were greeted at the door and seated at a high table. The restaurant is decorated sparsely. It’s small. It is dark. The kitchen is exposed, so we were able to enjoy watching the chef create. The waitress came to our table with a smile on her face. Her smile stayed throughout the evening. She was attentive and friendly. I have certain foods I cannot eat, so I asked her about some ingredients. She didn’t hesitate, and said she would want to be sure what the dishes contained, so she will ask the chef to come out and let me know. The chef, Jason, came to our table and said everything is prepared from scratch, so any accommodation would not be an issue. The menu looked so enticing. We ordered tapas style so we could try many dishes. Jason prepared each dish according to my dietary needs, and our tastes, making some dishes that were very creative, and not even on the menu. This was a thrilling dining experience. Pass the esthetics, and you’ll fulfill your senses with the outstanding food and service.

    We went early evening on a Tuesday night so it was not too crowded and the noise level was low. The service was fine and the food was really good. Decent atmosphere, comfortable seating as well. One of the better restaurants in town.

    Typical American restaurant with very good food for a family dinner. What was annoying was that there was a tablet at the table, through which we were to pay later, which made noise all the time and advertisements appeared. Therefore, points are deducted.
