    The view is amazing and so is the staff. They even made sure we were warm as we were sitting outside near the ocean. Food was good. We had Ribeye steak which was tasty and ordered sides of brussel sprouts and potatoes au gratin. large order for sides enough for two or more people. Drinks were good but on the pricey side. Expected as this is the beach and hotel is going through a reno. Beautiful spot! The people that work here are great and music was perfect! Definitely a place we will be visiting again and again.

    The food was absolutely delicious and the staff was wonderful! We had the Brussels sprouts and cauliflower appetizer. Cheese toast (garlic bread), my friend had the meatloaf and I had the scallops dish. The sauce on each dish was flavorful and I particularly loved the risotto. Highly recommend!

    Our anniversary celebration at Rebel Omakase was an experience we will treasure. From the moment we stepped in, we were enveloped by an ambiance that perfectly blended refined elegance with Japanese simplicity, setting the stage for an unforgettable evening. Each course was a masterpiece—carefully curated, exquisitely plated, and layered with flavors that were both deeply traditional and surprisingly inventive. The precision in preparation was evident, showcasing the chef's expertise and commitment to perfection. The service was impeccable. The staff was attentive but never intrusive, anticipating every need with grace and professionalism. Each dish was presented with a thoughtful explanation, enhancing our appreciation of the ingredients and their seasonal significance. Rebel is truly a destination for those who understand and value the artistry behind Japanese cuisine. It’s a place where every detail is honed to perfection, leaving you with an experience that feels both rare and profoundly satisfying. Highly recommended to anyone who values culinary artistry at its finest.

    Enjoyed their rooftop with a wonderful view of the ocean. Reservation for 2 was at 5:45 and they sat us very quickly. All employees were super friendly and helpful. We ordered the cornbread appetizer, a bowl of their clam chowder soup and a 3 item barbecue combo. Everything was delicious, especially the soup. Also had a very well made old fashioned. Had a great time and felt the price was well worth it…Would definitely come back again.
