Ambience and aesthetic are nice but that’s where it ends. Food is lacking seasoning, low quality ingredients, smothered in oil, extremely expensive for lack luster food. Our orders took about an hour to come out when we were 1 of 2 patrons and one of our dishes was cold. Overall way overpriced for low quality food and lack luster service.

This is my fourth time coming to Revery and I just love it. The food is always good, but their crème brûlée is my favorite! I also really enjoy their mocktails — super tasty and refreshing. The place feels cozy and the staff is always kind. Always happy to come back.

Revery is a great fine dining experience tucked away in an out of the way residential area. The food is always great and the service is both informative and attentive. There are definitely standout menu options but it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try new options. This is a great restaurant if you’re looking for an experience above the standard chain restaurants options in the Bloomington area.

Nice place with a full bar. Three of us had the short ribs and two raved about it. I had the special surf and turf pasta with three shrimp, a minuscule amount of filet and crab. I would not get it again. The pasta was taken off the bill by the Manager. I would have said something to someone sooner had the waiter checked on us once food was served but he did not.

I ordered the surf and turf and it was very good, although the lobster tail was pretty small...but the NY Strip was huge! The others ordered the meatloaf, tacos, and hamburger, and they all said it was just ok. Our server was fine, but needs more experience. I'd return for another visit, but doubt my fellow diners would...

I never leave reviews! However, I have to say that this is one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. Gregory, our server, was amazing. He suggested the great food, the atmosphere was amazing. It’s a gem. You owe it to yourself to go here and eat!

Our server Gregory was top notch. We enjoyed our entire experience. Cocktails were really good, we would return just to have a drink. Seafood special didn’t hit with us, but the fillet, meatloaf and short rib was great.
