Wonderful service but extremely mediocre food and incredibly overpriced for what it is. The arancini were burnt on the outside, the Romaine salad was too salty and the garlic knots were more of a sweet fried donut which did not complement the pasta dishes at all. Dessert menu was limited and disappointing for a dessert/chocolate lover like me.

We are obsessed with Revelers hour! It’s so cozy inside and the food is always delicious - the garlic knots are a must. Great alternative to tail up goat , more food for less price! Our waiter was great at selecting wines for our table. Also good for vegetarians too - plenty of options I could choose from! The tortelli and the ceaser are some of our favorites.Vegetarian options: Multiple pastas and appetizers for vegetarians!

My girlfriend and I came in for Valentine's Day last night, sat at the bar, and were served by Kristen (apologies if I'm misspelling), who made sure we were taken care of, happy, and with FANTASTIC recs/cocktails/vibes. Killed it! Immaculate dinner, drinks and service from the team as well - the hosts were super friendly and understanding even as we showed up about 10 minutes late on a busy night for them. Medium-dark lighting and a very chill/calm atmosphere really made for a nice, intimate night.The Valentine's menu is a bit different than the normal a la carte menu, which is all the more reason to come back. We had the tortelli stuffed pasta, olive-braised lamb, roasted squash, tuna crudo, olive oil cake, and lemon semifreddo - not ONE miss all night. If you listen to nothing else in this review, get a garlic knot with your meal! In terms of cocktails, the "Brooklyn" and "Jalisco Ski Chalet" were AMAZING, but we really want to try the wine selection next time.Reveler's is a MUST TRY in DC!

I have a special place in my heart for Reveler’s Hour:Summer of 2023, my mom had a brain aneurysm which incapacitated her for months. She recovered to full health, but it did cause her to have to cancel her 2 week long trip to Europe that she was taking with my dad.Once she was able to travel to visit my fiancé and I, I wanted to take her to a special place where she could have delicious pasta & wine.Reveler’s Hour delivered in every imaginable way & then some. A wonderful member of the waitstaff, Em, took great care with my family and I. I also explained that my mom was alcohol free while she recovered from her aneurysm.They informed the bar my mom was alcohol free and provided 0-alcohol beverages for my mom to enjoy while the rest of our party drank.Em also pulled out every stop, bring a variety of free little treats to our table & made my mom’s night so special. It was a teary eyed table & we felt so cared for by the entire staff at Reveler’s hour.Since then, we have come back a hand full of times & have had the privilege of having Em as our server almost every time.I am so grateful to Reveler’s Hour for cultivating such a wonderful experience for my family after a really traumatic event. I will continue to be a loyal customer & I will spread the word of what a great experience I had. I will also continue to come back for special occasions so far I’ve come back for 2 promotions.Thank you for making my mom feel special & creating such a great moment for my family and I.

Has to be the best Italian in DC. Love having this spot in the heart of Adams Morgan. The ambiance is amazing - cozy and warm and very welcoming. Had great service of course. Would recommend the garlic knots and the cabbage, and you can't go wrong with any pasta dish. I appreciate the seasonal pasta dishes as well! The drink menu is great and they offer 1/2 glasses of wine which is fun to try nicer wines without a crazy price tag. Perfect for a seat at the bar or special occasion dinner.
A+ for service and ambience - really excellent waitstaff and experience. F for food and drinks - super expensive and no good. Wine was barely drinkable and the cabbage thing... Jeeze. Keep the front replace the back.

Atmosphere and service were great. The food was okay, garlic knots were too greasy and all the dishes lacked flavor. There was a burrata dish when we went and that was quite good.
Stefan Turkheimer
Y'all. Revelers Hour is clearly great. But this review is really a request. The garlic knots are fantastic, but also quite dense. What if there were a post dinner version, like a sweet treat? Cinnamon and sugar, perhaps? Just a thought.

This is my regular spot. I eat here about once a month. The staff could not be friendlier or more knowledgeable. The food could not be more delicious and the wine could not be more interesting. I love it here so much.Vegetarian options: Chef Jon is famous for making vegetables taste absolutely amazing.

Reveler's Hour has a really great ambiance and super friendly service. I sat at the bar and had: - Grilled cabbage (5/5) - This was a really memorable and surprising dish. The savoriness of the sauce and toppings combined so well with the flavor and texture of the purple cabbage for an excellent dish. - Lamb tagliatelle (4/5) - Good pasta and good sauce make for a solid dish. - Almond cake (4/5) This is definitely a place I want to come back to.
