The Rebel Room — Restaurant in Pittsburgh

I waited for several minutes before a staff member even acknowledged that I was there. A colleague had made a reservation, but had yet to arrive. The restaurant was not at all full with a group at the bar and one table occupied. When the staff member approached me. I indicated that I was meeting someone who had made a reservation. Rather than ask the name the reservation was under, the staff suggested that I might have mixed up the restaurants, as there is another restaurant with a similar name nearby. It became increasingly clear that I was not welcome at this establishment, which was disappointing and peculiar. Even though I was never asked, I offered the name for the reservation, and indeed I was in the correct place. Moments later two other customers walked in and the gentlemen behind the bar, who had totally ignored me, offered these customers an enthusiastic greeting. At this point, it was exceedingly clear that it was me who was unwelcome. It’s a shame!

The atmosphere was nice and the presseco was...

Rebel Room canceled on us last minute-by email an hour before our reservation. I didn’t get the email in time because we were on our way. We awkwardly stood by the door with a sign that read “closed for breakfast”, we had 12:30pm reservations, so, this was quite confusing. There was a couple from out of town standing outside the restaurant with us, just as confused as we were. The really nice doorman called the main office for us. He had no clue when or if Rebel would be open for us. Whoever he spoke to said the server called-off. I don’t understand how 1 server’s absence could shutdown the whole restaurant, but okay.

The bummer was, it’s a Monday afternoon, and there weren’t many restaurants open to choose from. I would have liked a phone call so we could have just stayed in the South Hills and ate at Mediterra instead. This was a special occasion for my...
