Truly Terrific

by LakeLad

I knew nothing of the Meatpacker's District, but if Revel represents, then I will recommend it to everyone. I really don't know of many neighborhoods like this one, nor of many restaurants/bars like Revel. Real charm, I guess. An enclosed winter garden, and coming from a place where we've got winter 6 months a year, I can really appreciate. My pasta (I had something like fetucini) was really good and so were the drinks. We were 5 with no reservation and they were able to accommodate us rather quickly. Everyone else had steak (it comes on these huge flat stones which were really hot - watch out!) and they loved them - a word of caution though: if you like your steak rare get it off that stone quick or itll get overcooked!!). But I'm really writing because the service was outstanding. I've had decent NY service before, but this is really a cut above.

• Pros: no "waiting list", terrific food and good prices for the neighborhood
• Cons: if you're coming at 9 leave extra time - streets are really crowded

Great place for a daytime event!!!

by ginojunella

Hosted a baby shower there this past weekend for 25 people. The garden was pretty and very spacious for NYC standards. The food was good (not amazing but good), the price was great and what made the day run smoothly was the EXCELLENT staff. Thank you so much Revel!!
