ambiance
100.0% positive
  1. That said, the food was good, atmosphere great.
  2. The location is really fascinating and there is a wonderful retractable glass roof.
  3. Revel is a place you can't miss if you're looking for great dining and for a lot of fun!
  4. Everything was fresh and satisfying, and the menu itself is fun and inspiring-- with an incredible wine-list to boot!
  5. normally avoid the Meatpacking District, but a friend recommended I go, as she said the food, service and atmosphere were flawless.
dessert
100.0% positive
  1. The tuna tartare was so perfectly balanced, and the crab cake special was the best crab cake I've ever had, anywhere.
drinks
97.5% positive
  1. My pasta (I had something like fetucini) was really good and so were the drinks.
  2. Good drinks, beautiful garden, steak sizzling on a hot rock, cold martini.
  3. The food was very good but the drinks were even better!
  4. fantastic staff, really make you feel welcome, food very very average at best, drink only.
  5. The staff from the door to the bar to the restaurant were friendly and knowledgeable.
  6. Then she forgot to serve wine, I had to ask the hostess for my wine because the waitress never show up after we order drink and food.
  7. Everything was fresh and satisfying, and the menu itself is fun and inspiring-- with an incredible wine-list to boot!
  8. The menu choices were plentiful and tasty, cocktails were flowing and the service was professional but friendly.
  9. The maitre'd rendered the extensive wine list a little less intimidating and brought us two great bottles that matched our food and didn't break the bank.
  10. The Pear Martini at the bar delicious and kept us happy while we waited for a table.

  2. The food was great, too, especially the Hon Shimenji mushroom and fennel salad.
  3. And I LOVE the steaks on hot volcanic rock!
  4. definitely recommend the TY-MO (it is a mohito made with some kind of liqueur that comes in a green bottle) - very cool and tasty)
  5. The menu choices were plentiful and tasty, cocktails were flowing and the service was professional but friendly.
  6. The maitre'd rendered the extensive wine list a little less intimidating and brought us two great bottles that matched our food and didn't break the bank.
  7. Not only was the food delicious, the service was friendly and the staff actually seemed to care about our experience as opposed to most places in the neighborhood.
  8. -excruciatingly slow service I could have grown/killed/cooked/served my own meal 5 times
  9. That said, the food was good, atmosphere great.
  10. the food is just not that good.
  11. The tuna tartare was so perfectly balanced, and the crab cake special was the best crab cake I've ever had, anywhere.
  12. No complaints at all about the food, each dish was tasty, well seasoned and served quickly.
  13. The food is delicious, and the staff are friendly, if a little forgetful sometimes.
  14. would recommend the Buffalo steak to anyone looking for lots of flavor out of a lean cut of meat and the Filet if tender is more your style.
  15. normally avoid the Meatpacking District, but a friend recommended I go, as she said the food, service and atmosphere were flawless.
  16. Then she forgot to serve wine, I had to ask the hostess for my wine because the waitress never show up after we order drink and food.

  22. fantastic staff, really make you feel welcome, food very very average at best, drink only.
  23. The food was very good but the drinks were even better!
  24. The meats and fishes we tried were awesome, as well as the side dishes, and the pastas were homemade and yummy as well.
  25. was there twice: the first time on a wednesday for dinner and I found it very relaxing and with a good athmosphere, the music was soft and we had a great sirloin steak on a volcanic stone; service was good, kind and fast.
  26. Good drinks, beautiful garden, steak sizzling on a hot rock, cold martini.
  27. The Pear Martini at the bar delicious and kept us happy while we waited for a table.

Great brunch

by evanoffw8

Love the brunch here--it's always nice to find a new brunch spot and especially one that is so affordable. It's also great that you can sit in their patio any time of year no matter the weather. I highly recommend their Little west omelet or french toast.
