Food was and usually is good. Pepito was our chef. He knows what he's doing on that grill

“Betto-box” was an excellent variety of foods that pair well together and portions are just right.

Exceptional Experience! I had the pleasure of dining at The REX Steakhouse, and it was truly a memorable experience. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, with a perfect balance of elegance and comfort. The service was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable without being overbearing. As for the food, it was nothing short of spectacular. The steaks were cooked to perfection, with a beautiful sear on the outside and tender, juicy flavor inside. The quality of the meat was evident in every bite. The sides and appetizers were equally impressive—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly complementing the main dishes. Don’t even get me started on the desserts; they were the perfect way to round off an amazing meal. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just looking for an excellent meal, The REX is the place to go. Highly recommended—I can’t wait to return!

I've been meaning to come to this restaurant since it opened a couple of decades ago. The big surprise was the view. Where you expect to be looking out to open water you instead look across a large concrete expanse of the horseshoe pier. There are water views of the inside area of that pier. The other surprise is how large the restaurant is. There was a birthday party of 20 when we were there and the place didn't seem full at all. Service was relaxed, friendly and attentive. The prices are average for high end seafood and steaks. They do have a $49 prix fixe that one of our group ordered and very much liked. Both the clam chowder and lobster bisque were superb, as was the salmon. And excellent complimentary hot bread, a rarity these days. As we were celebrating two birthdays, 2 complimentary creme brulees showed up at the end. All in all, a very pleasant experience.

We brought two new guests with us and they enjoyed the atmosphere. Busy but not too loud. The chicken salad was a favorite. Our waitress was excellent. The food came out quickly from the kitchen.
