    The main courses and apps were good. The wedge salad was served in a bowl which made it EXTREMELY difficult to cut, at one point it popped out of the bowl and on my shirt. Our server seemed overwhelmed but tried her best. We ordered drinks and they didn't come until after our apps!!! The waitress or menu should have been clear on the level of intense spice in the Bolognese. The dessert described white chocolate dip and did not come with it. I understand that a restaurant can run out, but it should have been mentioned upon ordering. A little more communication from the server would have led to better choices and a more enjoyable dinner. Ie our best is running behind, this is extremely spicy, our kitchen has run out of white chocolate and is substituting XYZ, is that ok.

    We dined at Revel for our annual Christmas date before the Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert. The food and ambience were both wonderful. The filet and crab cake was delicious! Our server Akir was great!!

    We went for brunch and both ordered shrimp and grits. My mom ordered poached eggs runny however they came pretty solid and neither of our dishes had the asparagus that was described on the menu. I had the espresso martini which was delicious and mom had the bloody Mary which she liked. The restaurant easily accommodates for gluten-free which I appreciate and the food was very tasty.. The service was fantastic.

    This was my second visit; the first was for brunch several months ago. I had a Pittsburgh steak salad this time and it was disappointing. The lettuce was bitter and the salad didn’t include some of the items mentioned in the description (eggs). The service was great.

    Restaurant and bar were crowded. Wait staff was stretched. Service was average due to the number of diners. Food was very good.

    Revel is always delicious and has very good service. I liked the drink of the day idea for the holidays and did have the hot chocolate with salter caramel Bailey's. It was delicious. I wanted to get almost everything on the menu. We definitely have to go here more often, so I can try more of the dishes I haven't tried.
