Rex Cafe's roots go back over 33 years when co-owner Bob Di Franco started as a waiter and then bought the Casablanca restaurant. The romantic forties era ceiling fans are still slowly turning reminding us of those days.

In 1994 Daniel Mougeot partnered with Bob as co-owner Chef and the Rex Cafe was created and soon became a neighborhood favorite.

Recently the Rex Cafe was given a fresh new look while also adding new flair to its menu with the addition of Chef de cuisine John Pauley.

Working together, Daniel, classically trained in France, and, John, working with some of the best chefs in the country, combine to create dishes from a classic French onion soup or pate, to buttermilk chicken and waffles of a grilled salmon with a savory bread pudding.

Rex's Saturday and Sunday brunches remain a perennial neighborhood favorite serving one of the best Bloody Mary in town.
