Solid dinner spot. I thought everything tasted good enough but wasn’t blown away by anything on the menu. The best part was the dessert, the key lime pie was delicious. It is BYOB though and that was very interesting plus.

MOUTH WATERING. From the moment you walk in, you are catered to. We made a reservation for 3 and space for a stroller. It was a Wednesday night so it was not too crowded. Once you order food, they are rather quick to bring the food out. That was great because we were starving. We didn’t order drinks because it’s a BYOB. We had our wine ready, BUT they are known to have tasty sangria. This was our 4th time here. The food is just that good.

My husband and I were hoping for a nice, quiet dinner so we decided to come here since we had come here once before for brunch. The food is amazing as always and the attention from the staff is beyond expectations. I definitely recommend this place for brunch or dinner. The only downfall was we were sitting next to a couple who were talking obnoxiously loud and made the dinner a little sour. Every time I heard the woman laugh, I wanted to splash her in the face with my sparkling water. Besides that, I really enjoy coming here and I will be back.

Honestly, one of best restaurants in the area. It’s cozy and well decorated. We went for dinner on a Friday at 6pm and were treated to great service and excellent food options. Their dishes have the perfect balance of Caribbean staples with fine dining. The tilapia was soft, tasty, and just cooked right! Oh, this is a a BYOB locale but they have a small wine selection on the menu. We will be returning.

When I write a review I do it for two reasons. The first one is to inform other users and the second is hoping that business owners use the feedback to improve. With that being said, here’s my review of Rebecca’s:

3.5 stars! Rebecca’s has a romantic atmosphere, and provides great service. Overall the food is just ok. We ordered the steak quesadillas and the cilantro shrimp. The steak quesadillas were pretty boring, and not that good. The meat was undercooked, and it wasn’t cheesy. Basically, just undercooked meat tossed in a tortilla with no cheese. The cilantro shrimp was seasoned well, but we didn’t care for the tostones it came over. They need a better appetizer selection here! For entrees we had the ropa vieja and the salmon entree. The ropa vieja had a good flavor, but it tasted like it was made 5 days ago and just warmed up! I like my food made the same day when I dine out. The salmon dish was good, and the yucca coconut mash yams it came with were delicious! We had two other sides the dirty rice and the plantains. Both were good, but I prefer my plantains to be more sweet. For desserts we had the flan and the bread pudding. The flan wasn’t good! The caramel was too liquid like, and didn’t have any caramel flavor! The bread pudding was decent. Overall the appetizers and dessert weren’t that good, and entrees varying from ok to good. I recommend the owners dine at De Martino in Somerville for an excellent Cuban meal, and maybe they can get some ideas to make Rebecca’s 5 stars!

Let me begin by saying that I don’t review restaurants, more so, bad reviews, being that I don’t take pleasure in harming in any way local businesses, but I am so outraged with the waitress/lady answering the phone and her lack of professionalism. I called in letting her known that I had found a hair on the lechon asado, and that she should tell the cook, kitchen staff to be careful with their food so they won’t have another person calling in for hair in their dinner. Simple as that, no screaming or rudeness from my part, although anyone can clearly be upset about not being able to eat their expensive meal. She was very argumentative, rude, sarcastic, stating that there was no woman with black long hair working there, no humility, or apology whatsoever, a simple I’m sorry that you got to experience that and we will take note of it, would have been good for me. The food is probably good and I would have given the place a second chance, given that mistakes happen, but her lack of professionalism is not something I am willing to experience again.
