Home/Our Story

A house on
Old River Road.

Since 1998, a place where Edgewater comes to celebrate.

Some restaurants are places to eat. Rebecca's has always been a place to gather: birthdays and first dates, showers and anniversaries, long dinners that turn into dancing.

1998

The house opens

Rebecca's opens on Old River Road, at the foot of the Palisades. For twenty-six years it is Edgewater's Cuban and Caribbean kitchen, noted by Zagat, The New York Times and New Jersey Monthly.

Rooms

Built for celebrations

A cozy main dining room with rich fabrics and a hint of old Havana, and a cliffside patio: open in summer under string lights, glass-covered and heated in winter.

2024

A new chapter

In 2024 the kitchen turns Mediterranean: mezes made every afternoon, manti, Hunkar filet mignon and a charcoal grill. The rooms, the warmth and the BYOB tradition stay.

Today

Music at the table

Live music every weekend with artists such as The Secret Trio, Ara Dinkjian, Tamer Pınarbaşı, Ismail Lumanovski and Selim Bölükbaşı, and a home for private celebrations of every size.

The room

Preserved,
not changed

The character of the house has stayed exactly as its founders intended. The aesthetics were improved, the soul was kept.
