   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.

   We arrived about 5 minutes before our scheduled reservation. The hostess greeted us at the door and we were seated immediately. However after 20 minutes we still had not been seen by any of the waitstaff. After flagging down the hostess, our waiter arrived and took our order. The waiter did explain what the confusion was, apologized for our wait and made sure that our order was expedited. I ordered the Rev Burger which was good. The French Fries were golden and crispy. My wife ordered a Gin & Tonic from the bar which arrived with a very sad and dry slice of lime. For dinner she ordered the Mushroom pasta which unfortunately she said was bland, with little sauce and was swimming in butter. I liked the new decor which is a positive change from the previous restaurant. The overall bill wasn’t bad and again the waiter apologized for our wait. Overall I felt our experience ended on a positive note. However, we feel a little reluctant for a return visit.

   We were very pleased with our experience. The staff was great, the food and cocktails were delicious. We were told they had only 1 bartender that evening so it was a bit difficult to receive our cocktails in a timely fashion.

   Third time at Reverie, first time was wonderful - I had the meatloaf and it was superb. On the second visit, I again ordered the meatloaf; when the entrees for my table started coming out, our waitperson told me they were out of meatloaf so I then had to order something else and wait for it while the other 5 in my party ate their entrees. I was still eating far after everyone else finished. But that didn't stop me from returning - went last night and again, ordered the meatloaf as did my friend. We were told there were only 8 servings left so we needed to put our order in, although we weren't quite ready to order. We were super disappointed in it! There was absolutely no seasoning on anything. I never add salt to my food but my friend & I both used several packets of salt & pepper. Mashed potatoes with no salt added are pretty bland. I ordered my second cocktail when dinner arrived, I got it about 45 minutes later after we had all finished our dinners. For the prices, this was not worth it. $24 meatloaf dinner that was terribly bland, not like the first time I had it at all. My party of 4 all decided that was probably our last time eating there.

   Derek was an attentive server providing us with a drink while we reviewed the menu. He also gave us time to decide on the specials or ordering off the menu which we appreciated. The food was great! The salmon, sink salad and warm French bread were all excellent! Can't go wrong with their salmon...perfect EVERY time!

   Revery is a tucked away gem. The restaurant is located in an unassuming area out of the way of the main drag of restaurants on Veterans Parkway. Gregory, our server, was excellent as this was our first visit. He was explained the menu and offered his favorites. The Brie with bacon jam was excellent! My wife had a martini and said it was delicious, as was The Short Rib with sweet potatoes, Brussel sprouts/bacon & cranberry. The cheesecake dessert was good, but not as exceptional as the main course. I had the ribeye which was slightly overcooked but was good, the mashed potatoes were a little bland. Overall we’ll definitely be going back to explore the menu more. We would recommend to anyone looking for a good meal.

    Got appetizers before our drinks. Hot sides were lukewarm. Steaks were good. Refills on drinks were very delayed. It took 45 min to get a beer. Desserts were finished before coffee came. Dirty plates sat. We made reservations 1 month in advance. It may have just been an off night? It was disappointing.
