Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Service was slow. It wasn’t overly busy but they appeared to have few staff on. Food was very good but fairly pricey for what it is.

Amazing place to go if you love your meats (yes they do vegan and Vegetarian dishes too) and have an impressive wine and cocktail menu too. A little on the pricey side but it's worth it for the quality and taste you get out of...it. Atmosphere is great and service is incredible would 100% come again if we're down here again. 10/10. Booking is a must but you can do it online on their website.More

This restaurant is INCREDIBLE. The food is the best I have ever eaten and the service was fast and friendly. We spent a few hours at the restaurant enjoying great food, beautifully crafted cocktails and soaking in the atmosphere. We have already made plans to...return and share the experience with our friends and family.More

Visited on a Friday night with family. We booked a table which is just as well. I doubt we would have been able to just walk in. Really slow service to begin with – took an age to get some menus and drinks. OK, it...was very busy but they need to work a little harder to at least give people something to drink while they are waiting! Things settled down a bit after that – service was more attentive and the food was served in good time – no real delays with the kitchen The food was delicious. Macaroni Cheese Balls to start; Rack of Ribs and Mussels for mains – the ribs melted in the mouth! Would definitely return but the service needs to improve a little! I’d still recommend as the atmosphere and food were excellent - oh, and the moonshine is superb!!More

The manager decided to interrupt our dinner to tell me he didn’t approve of my parenting style! Disgraceful & absolutely uncalled for. Would avoid like the plague if you have children! Caitlin was absolutely lovely & so professional & mature, I feel for her having...to work for such a vile man!More

My partner and I came here as it was dog friendly. Everyone made a fuss of the dog and was overall a very welcoming environment. Our waitress Megan was brilliant, making sure we had everything we needed/wanted and even wrote down some places to visit...on our holiday here, which we done! 😊 The food was exceptional, high quality and cooked to perfection and the cocktails were fun and quirky. Loki had his own patty, cut up ready for him. Would really recommend coming here, we had a fantastic night!More

Visited in September with my partner, our dog and friends. We have visited before and happily returned. We had been staying in Newquay for a week as a mini get away and visited most nights for cocktails, they are next level! Returned with friends to...eat on our last night knowing that it wouldn’t disappoint. Mussels starter was class, super tasty. Mains were well received by all, our friends were incredibly impressed with the brisket and pork. The wine selections suited our needs perfectly and the moonshine goes down incredibly well. If you’re in the area I couldn’t recommend this roast house any more, great quality, great service and tones of delicious options to choose from. Thanks very much we will be back again in the near future.More

We turned up on spec and had a fantastic meal here. The beef brisket was amazing and there was loads of chicken on the ceaser salad. Staffing seemed to be tight but what a great meal.

On the 18/09/2023, I (a female) booked a reservation for one at 18:15 at Rebellion. I arrived at 17:55 and there was no member of staff at the front by the Post to welcome guests. Hence, I went to the bar and told Bar Man...A that I have booked a table for 6:15pm. Bar Man A told me to go back and wait at the front by the Post for a member of staff to come, which I did do. 4 people arrived after me and queued up behind me. Then after some time a member of staff came to the front Post (I shall call him Staff B). Staff B took me through to the back and showed me to a table just in front of a table of 8 people. I asked if I could sit at another table. Staff B said, “No. The tables are all booked.” I did not understand Staff B reasoning because the table where I wanted to sit had 2 chairs just like mine – and was exactly the same size and shape, as the table I was sitting at. So, I couldn’t understand what difference would it make if I sat at that table. I did not say anything and sat at the table where Staff B placed me. Then, staff B showed the 4 people who were queuing behind me to the table in front of me. So now, I am sandwich in between a group of 8 people behind me and a group of 4 people in front me. The time is now 18:25 and nobody have approached me to take my order. The group of 8 people have their meals brought to them. Then Bar Man A (the man who knew I have been waiting for a long time) went to the group of 4 people (the ones who came in after me) and took their order and walked off. I sat for a while in disbelief at what had just happened. Something felt off. Something was not right and I was feeling very uncomfortable with the whole situation. The time is now 18:35 and still nobody has approached me to take my order – so I packed up my things and left. As I was walking out the restaurant, Bar Man A looked at me from behind the bar and Staff B looked at my face as he walked past me and said nothing. Other restaurant would have asked, “Are you all right Madame [or words to that effect]”. Was I being discriminated against – I shall leave it to the reader to decide. I have eaten in many restaurants and café around the world and have never experienced anything like this or made to feel uncomfortable.More
