We were staying at the attached hotel and after a long day walking around Boston we didn't want to go elsewhere to eat after getting back to the hotel. I don't know if we were just tired or what but the signage and directions on how to actually get into the restaurant were poor. The service was slow. My husband had a burger and said it was fine. I ordered meatballs and an order of mac and cheese. Both were ok but the mac and cheese was cold. I had to send it back to be heated up and that always freaks me out. Overall, just an ok restaurant. read more

Out of convenience because we're hotel guests, we chose Rebels Guild for breakfast. The only option was a breakfast buffet. The buffet included scrambled eggs (likely powdered) bacon, undercooked sausage, weak coffee and the typical yogurt, cereals etc. the price was an astonishing $53. Total gouge! Restaurant staff usually ask how our meal was. Nobody asked us this question. They know how it was, I guess. This is a one and done for us. One woman actually working, and three manager type males standing around because there were no other diners, I wonder why.... read more

I don't write many reviews unless things are very good or very bad. Honestly I LOVE writing positive reviews because I'm all about sunshine and happiness and telling people they did a great job is my favorite thing. This experience was truly bad all around. We arrived 6 minutes late for our 6pm reservation - seated immediately without issue. The waiter, who was apparently a manager, took our drink order quickly which seemed like we were off to a good start. Drinks took a suspiciously long time to arrive. Whatever. We ordered food. My fiance had a pasta dish and I picked a burger. ...We did not see this waiter again for a very long time. He refilled water once. After about an hour of waiting around for food, we almost had to get up and leave because we were seeing a show at 8 and it was 7:30. The manager/waiter came over to apologize. He gave his card for complimentary drinks after the show - which was a nice offer I guess but wildly impractical and we would not make the trek back for drinks that weren't good to begin with. He also comped the drinks we did buy which saved us about 30 bucks. Another nice gesture but man when you only get to have a date night once in a while and it's a complete waste of time - gestures only go so far. Sometimes food takes a long time and restaurants are busy. We get that. There were just so many employees standing around or straightening chairs or whatever that it's kind of amazing that this experience was so bad. Also my burger was no better than like... Wendy's. Good lord. My fiance's pasta looked like it came out of a kraft box. We waited this long for food we cook when we're feeling lazy at home. Don't eat here. This should be an embarrassing experience for those who own and manage this place. read more

I had an excellent time at Rebels Guild! The lobster bites were so delicious. I also enjoyed all the drinks I had. I had the walnut boulevardie TWICE. DI-VINE! We also had duck crostini, cornbread (GIT THAT BUTTER), cauliflower and the duck entree. Oh yes and the CREME BRÛLÉE. Thank you lord Jesus for the creme brûlée. Manager David Nguyen was welcoming and kind. Beautiful experience all around. 10 out of 10 would recommend. Also SUPER cute design. read more

I SO WANTED to love this place. We live in the Village around the corner. After waiting 15-20 minutes for someone to take our drink order, one of us went to the bar to order (and the bartenders were rude). We finally got to order our appetizers, and someone else cane over to take the menus away. We told her we only ordered appetizers & needed the menus still, but she took them away. It was the most bizarre experience I've ever had at a restaurant. We told them we were leaving (which I have never done before) and I asked to see the manager. He graciously invited us to stay, but at that point we all had had enough. I'm sad because I really wanted to try the oysters, the burger, and the drinks. Please make some changes, Rebels Guild, because the concept seems like a great idea. read more

The food is delicious and the staff is friendly and helpful. We have gone a few times now with larger parties and have no complaints. The brown bread is fantastic, as well as the cornbread. Our favorite dishes include the Brick Pressed Chicken and the Salmon. YUM. Very friendly service, and efficient -- we have gone several times with large groups without a hitch. read more

I guess my review would hover between 3 and 3.5--and I'm mostly docking stars for the overpriced food. And I know overpricing food is nothing new for a hotel restaurant. All the stars go toward the convenience of having a decent hotel restaurant (nice ambience, albeit a bit dark) and also having friendly and helpful waitstaff like Jorge, who was our waiter and did a great job. Husband ordered fish and chips, while I ordered the Revere burger. My burger was actually delicious and juicy, but husband only had three small pieces of crispy-outside-but-mushy-inside fish on a big bed of fries. For the price, it was like paying $7 per small piece of fish. Both of our fries were perfectly crispy and golden brown, but way too salty--and we like salt! This is a very convenient place to eat if you're staying at this hotel and the weather is bad and/or you're too tired or lazy to go out. However, I wouldn't go out of my way to come here if you're not already staying at the hotel. That being said, the hotel itself is really excellent! read more

During my 5 days at the Revere I had breakfast and lunch. I feel like the breakfast bar is overpriced. My company has it included so it doesn't count against my daily expenses. The bar had eggs sausage, soggy bacon, potatoes and pancakes. The same every day, and service was poor. For lunch I had a salad and bowl of fruit. I needed the freshness of fruits and veggies and that hit the spot. read more

Pretty, pretty, pretty lame. Begging for drinks on a slow Friday. Music is blaring for some odd reason....there are 8 people here. Glad I'm over paying for this nonsense read more

Great food and service. Waiter was super nice and answered questions to help us figure out which drinks and food we'd like best.

We tried Rebels Guild last night and we had a great time! They did such a great job with the renovation of the old Emerald Lounge space, it's now a relaxing, hip restaurant space. The biggest thing that was so noticeable was that the staff were so attentive and friendly. For a restaurant that has only been open for 7 weeks, it seems as if they have worked out most of the kinks. The menu is filled with American classics with a twist, things like sliders, fritters and meat loaf all make for a comfort food filled night out. The trendy drinks balance or the somewhat simple menu. I have to say they did a great job with drinks because they are creative and tasty! Would definitely come back in a again! read more

See all

Ambience: 5 Stars Service: 5 Stars Food: 3.5 Stars Drinks: 4 Stars Prices: 3.5 Stars Our server was awesome and attentive. The cornbread was amazing. However my fiancées pasta dish was just average at best as well as my lobster fritters. Unfortunately the appetizer cornbread and my side salad overtook our main dishes in taste and quality. But the experience, decor and service made the meal as pleasant as possible. $7 for lobster Fritters is a pretty great price, as where $17 for an old fashioned with woodford reserve seemed a little steep. With a better balance of cost over the menu and perhaps a few more entree offerings I think this review could easily switch to 5 Stars in the future. read more

Went for an early dinner on a Thursday at 530p. Pros: 1. The service was one of the most attentive and courteous I've had. Jorge was awesome and friendly. 2. Great food . 3. Nice decoration Considerations: 1. Noise picked up quite a bit by 7p. Still able to have a conversation tho. 2. Food was good but there are other places in Boston with the same or better. We had the atlantic salmon and prime ribeye , for main courses. Everything was delicious and perfect cooked read more

The place was dead and the service was so dang slow it kind of ruined the experience. Thank goodness for good company...

Great place for drinks and food. Stopped by for brunch today and it was amazing. Food was excellent, scrambled eggs, country ham and bacon. And amazing cornbread in a skillet. Yummy! The atmosphere is chill and sophisticated. Best thing overall is Allison. She works the bar and tables and is fun, friendly and attentive She helps to round out the overall experience. Great place, check it out. read more

We had reservations here for New Year's Day brunch and it was a disaster from the second we arrived. The staff seemed totally lost, and while they were friendly, it really didn't make up for an awful experience. The door was locked when we showed up for our 11 AM reservation, apparently, most of the other diners were staying at the attached hotel. We ordered bloody Mary's and a cappuccino. The cocktails were decent, but quite overpriced. The cappuccino was a shot of espresso. When we asked them to correct it, they had no idea how despite the drink being on the menu. They returned with another shot of espresso and a glass of milk. The food wasn't much better. I had a breakfast sandwich that tasted like a microwaved Starbucks sandwich. Another member of our party had the Roasted Beet Tartine, it was awful. It had lettuce instead of arugula, almost no goat cheese and was not representative of the dish as described on the menu. It's possible we caught them on an off day, but their staff seemed totally lost and I would not return. read more

Food was ok, neither good nor bad. Service was basically nonexistent. The menu falsely advertised a variety of coffee options (espresso, latte, etc.) but they only offer black coffee. The bar was missing basic ingredients (like mint) to make the drinks on the menu. read more

We stopped in on a Tuesday at 2:00 in the afternoon. There were two other people in there so it was not crowded. Bartender did not seem interested in being a server. We ordered a salad and two sandwiches and the salad never came but was still on our bill. Ham and cheese came out cold. This restaurant is definitely a no. read more

I arrived just over 40 minutes before closing. I got some bs story of how they are closed...and contrary to the online menus they are closed... The same bartender that give me this bullshit story is the same one who I saw giving attitude to two guests 2 nights ago he doesn't seem to want to do his job read more

I'm not sure which was worse, the food or the service. We were the only people in the restaurant when we arrived, and it took 45 minutes for our food to arrive. The tomato soup was lukewarm, and salmon and the burgers were way, way overcooked. read more

Restaurant is very nicely decorated for the holidays and that's the best thing I can say about the place. We had breakfast there and it wasn't worth the price. Food was just ok and the service was awful. No one came to check on us and the place was not busy. Had to get up to get our own condiments and find someone to get a refill on our coffee. It was $60 dollars for two simple meals, coffee and a latte. Definitely not worth the price for mediocre food and crummy service. read more

I love coming here for meetups. The seats are always so comfortable, the food is good, and the bartenders are all too notch. They all know their stuff and I like the attention to quality. read more

Ordered the Rebel Dipper. Wife ordered grilled cheese and tomato soup. The beef in my sandwich and my wife's tomato soup tasted like they came out of a can. Can't recommend. read more

Okay, this is the complaint I have with this bar. The prices are HIGH , $18 for a cocktail. Then, they want sales tax on top of that. NO! That's wrong. read more

A really fun place to get drinks with friends. Yvan the bartender made me a really good margarita. The appetizers are fun. My friend got a snowed in drink that she said was v tasty. See picture. Definitely recommend this place for some cocktails read more

Staff was friendly and prompt, but website greatly misrepresents. This is just a hotel restaurant with a VERY limited menu. Food was mediocre- not terrible fantastic. Yelp menu had SO many options... actual menu not so much. Decor is absolutely charming, so it could be a great place to meet for drinks if you're in the area, but the food does make this a worthwhile destination. read more

This was extremely disappointing. Food tasted microwaved. Drinks were too strong to finish. Menu was so small and they were out of half of the items. Felt like I was at an Applebees...an overpriced Applebees. read more

I live in the neighborhood and was excited to see what the fuss was about Rebel's Guild. The only fuss that I was able to experience was poor customer service, the inability of the staff to say "you are welcome" after I thanked them for serving my table water, witnessing 6 staff member inability to serve a table of 12; it got so bad, we waited 20 mins for a staff to place our drink order. By the time the waiter came to our table I had already placed the order at the bar (hence the bartender customer skills was below 1). I am really disappointed and to be honest I doubt that rebel's guild will be on my radar in the near future. read more

I will preface this post by saying that I never take the time to write a bad review maybe one other time in my life! Both my friend and I have dined out all over Boston and both worked in the industry for years and agree this goes down as the worst experience we can remember!! My friend and I dined at this restaurant last weekend before seeing a show at the Wang. It was not that busy even though it was a Saturday evening. The concept of the restaurant is cool but the decor is a bit confused but none the less the ambiance is cool. We sat at the bar and ordered multiple cocktails off the cocktail menu. The first bartender seemed to be a veteran and provided decent service and made great cocktails. The second bartender took our order only after we called him over. He completely forgot our drinks and we had to awkwardly ask him after 10 minutes. The Chicken Caesar was descent and Tuna Tartar were TINY but descent. The second bartender drinks were nearly undrinkable. When we asked for the check it grabbed the card and ran it (it was not itemized it the bill was nearly $60 higher than it should have been). We were charged for multiple cocktails we didn't order. The manager assured us the card wasn't charged the incorrect amount and she would rectify it. My friend called me to say she was charged the incorrect amount not once but TWICE! I would say this was a new employee that made a mistake however MULTIPLE customers came up saying there were errors on their bills and returned drinks that were made incorrectly. Which leads us to believe it was not a mistake at all!!! read more

The decor was out of this world, and the food was insanely good. The maple skillet cornbread, I can eat nothing but that for a week and be happy. Service was great, we had a very attentive, cheerful waiter. Highly, highly recommend this place. Will definitely go back again. read more

We just wanted a quick bite and a glass of wine. While there, Chef Sean allowed us to taste a few items since they had only recently opened. We canceled our dinner reservations and stayed for two hours. The food is top notch--try the lobster fritters with vanilla thyme butter, the bluefish, the American chop suey, and smoked duck on crostini with blueberry compote. The meatball appetizer are the best meatballs I've tasted. Seriously. The service is amazing, the wine list has something for everyone without mortgaging your home. We've already made plans to return before leaving Boston--probably more than once. read more

This place has potential but they need to work on the wait staff, or at least the server we had. We went there on a Monday night and there were 4 other tables besides us and one server. It took about 15 minutes for us to be greeted, though it wasn't actually a greeting - just a blank stare and "what would you like?" Literally no hello or hint of a smile. Our drinks sat on the bar waiting to be served for another 15 minutes. The food was pretty good but service like that kills any dining experience. read more

I expected much much better from a restaurant in an upscale hotel. Limited menu is boring. I would have given two stars but there were two egregious restaurant food no-no's. I ordered the Standard Burger. I've eaten and cooked a lot of burgers and I'm 99% sure that the burger thrown on the grill was a frozen patty. And I could swear that the Grilled Cauliflower was microwaved before it was charred. Unpleasant mouthfeel. We were a group of eight going to a performance after dinner. Dining options were limited for Saturday night. How bad could dinner be? The good news is that it was easy to converse as it appears many others know to stay away. And I hope you have lots to talk about as service was inconsistent and slow. High points - two. Fill up on the Skillet Cornbread and the delicious complimentary brown bread. read more

Dinner was a 4, breakfast a 2. Chicken with mushroom risotto was yummy. Didn't appreciate sitting in a huge draft, though. Breakfast, meh. Eggs overdone, as well as bacon. Potatoes and toast underdone. Waited 20 minutes with only a few guests in restaurant and then was overcharged :( read more

4 stars for brunch, can't speak on any other aspect of the restaurant. Went with a party of 10, we were the only ones in the restaurant. I found this surprising because it had a nice vibe, and an extremely solid brunch menu, and was fairly priced. Food was good and the service was great. Far from your crazy busy boston brunch spot where it can be a struggle to get a table. Great for people looking for a calm brunch with plenty of garage parking close by. read more

Great looking place with nice vibe. Food seems over priced. Service is barely provided by a very inexperienced staff who seem to be busy visiting and have no guidance / leadership. Fish and chips were excellent, but other food was so-so. read more

Stopped in on the way to a show at the Wang theater. We were running a bit behind due to traffic. This cut our options a bit as we needed a place that was not busy. Walked right in. Took a bit of time for drinks, but the waitress was nice and when we let them know we did want food but wanted to make sure we would be able to have a quick turn around they did great getting the food out quickly. Wine was good, food was just average, some hits, some misses. There was some cool design features, but something about it felt "off" as in an identity crisis feel. Please, please, please give your waitress at least a small tray so she doesn't have to carry only 2 drinks at a time and keep running back and forth to the bar. I don't mean the huge ones from chain restaurants but even a small one that you could put a few on? I think that was part of the issue is the poor think had to make so many trips up there for every table. Three alone for our one table. read more

Food was delicious! I had the fish and chips one night and the chicken with mushroom risotto another night and they were both excellent. Service was good too read more

Food is very good however the portions are a little small for the price. I'm not sure I would come here if we were not staying at the Revere Hotel. However when staying at the hotel it is one of the better restaurants I've been to within a hotel read more

Awesome food, awesome staff and awesome drinks. Check it out! We stayed at revere hotel which is awesome but this place offered a great evening cal and the environment is adorbs with its modern Boston flare! read more
