Superb food, great service, comfortable seating, prices moderate considering the cost of everything these days, a bit noisy, but overall—what's not to like?

Food was excellent but this is the loudest restaurant I’ve been in in a long time. Hard to hear dinner companion, hostess, servers. Impeded enjoyment of meal. I know it’s important to fix but really expensive. My hearing impaired husband and I loved the food but won’t come back on a busy night.

A solid meal, great for a date night. Our server was good but actually the host, food runner and busser provided more attentive service. (Host checked back on us during meal, food runner announced each dish and explained each cheese on the board and busser regularly refilled waters. Server didn’t know what ryes were available and kind of threw the alcohol menu at us. She also missed that we wanted our dessert to go. It was not a busy night at restaurant so maybe just an off night for her.) The ambiance was really good and the background music was a good selection and at the perfect volume.

Service was very poor, even though the food was quite good. This is the second time that we've had poor service at Revival. The server completely forgot to bring us tastes of wine that we had requested when we ordered our meal, for which we had to ask another server to help us 10 to 15 minutes later. Then there was inadequate follow-up from our waiter after we were served, just to check in to see how we were doing. The food was very good, but they need to make some inroads in the quality of their service.
