The meatloaf was good. The brisket was tough, and had an odd aftertaste. Our server was very good, and made the night enjoyable. The noise level was getting loud by the time we were leaving, but they were packed.

Great food and atmosphere! Looking forward to when they switch names and bring more smoked meats to the menu

Birthday was not referenced once even though we had it tagged in the reservation. Did hear you get a free desert if they remember-good luck to you if you choose this establishment to celebrate. Music was Schizophrenic(ranged from EDM to 1960s Aretha Franklin). Mac and cheese was dry and bland. Fish (pollock) was not good. Fries were decent. Fiancé said filet was alright. We will not return.

We have been to Revery numerous times and have always loved it. This time was different. Our waiter was wonderful despite the fact he had 15 tables which is the entire back room. Service was slow due to this, which wasn't his fault. Almost 45 minutes before we got our drinks and ordered our meal. We did get the appetizer quickly. The brie had little flavor as did the bread. I ordered the filet and the texture was more like short ribs, kinda weird. I substituted the sweet potato puree and it was very pasty, My husband ordered the ribeye. He said it was good but on the fatty side. The carrots looked like burnt French fries. Completely black. We got our bill and had to then ask for the dessert menu. Not sure what was going on, but we will give it one more try.

I ordered the short rib. It was ok, but not great. I'd had it on another visit and it was delicious and had gravy. The piece I had was very dry, no gravy. Brussels sprouts were a bit too crunchy. Server forgot to bring my beverage. Had to remind her. Finally got it, when I was nearly finished eating. My friend ordered a filet to be cooked medium. When she received it, was well done, no pink. They remade a steak for her, but she had to take it to go. Three other friends had fried chicken and all said it wasn't the greatest. One server dropped a piece of my friend's chicken on the floor and had to have another piece prepared for her. The dinner wasn't worth the amount we paid. This was my third visit. The other two times I had eaten there, were much better, than this visit.

Everything was slow and the food came out barely warm. When they were newly opened, the food was standout. Now it's not as good as other local steakhouses. We'll probably be done giving them a try.

We arrived in a snow storm - food was great, server was a really nice kid (first day of serving) and very attentive. Only real negative was the air temperature in the restaurant was really cold. We'd go back!

We had a leisurely dining experience that was fantastic from start to finish. The holiday drinks at the bar were well-crafted, the service in the dining room was terrific and the food was fantastic. A great wine selection.

Really nice place updated from previous owner. Marcel was very efficient and provided great service. Food was good with many choices. I was impressed by updated decor and space was very welcoming.

Revery was absolutely amazing! Right from the start, Gregory was welcoming, and helpful. It helps he has a great personality, as he was able to not only help us make decisions but kept us entertained as well. The food was amazing for the price point, and portion size. The three other guests, and I, all had something different and we all enjoyed our meals. Next time I'm back in town, I will definitely be coming back for sure!

It was okay. 100,000% not worth the money, but the drinks were good. The steak was chewy, the short rib wasn't hot, the truffle mash has zero truffle taste, the sprouts were undercooked, everything was under seasoned. For $300 for three people, there's zero chance I return. Derrick the Server was super nice! He was by far the best part.

The service was very good. We waited a long time for our food and my wife's food was cold and mine was lukewarm. It seemed they had only one server that day

First the good stuff. The 3 appetizers we ordered (beets, mussels, and calamari were excellent. The mushroom pasta was very good. Drinks were made well. I recommend the Old Fashioned. Service was also very good.

Now the not-so-good. We were seated at a table for 6 in an alcove. I don't know if it was everywhere but there was musty smell where we were. The ribeye was ordered as medium rare but it came out medium/ medium well and had no sear. Screwing up the main protein (and the most expensive) is the reason for the low rating on the food.

Hard to justify the expense for hit and miss quality.

Hidden gem! Truly such an enjoyable meal and Gregory is such a great asset! His recommendations were spot on. We enjoyed the mussels, short rib and filet. Which caught our eye initially but Gregory confirmed our choices. Top it off with some cocktails and that creme brûlée, I n c r e d i b l e. 12/10 Would recommend

This place is cute, and the service was good, but the food was just... Not good. It was incredibly bland. We got the ribeye and the mushroom pasta, and both tasted like nothing. The ribeye was served lukewarm, tasted like nothing, with instant mashed potatoes. The mushroom pasta was just as bland. We added a ton of salt to save it but we certainly won't be back. Too bad because the atmosphere is really really nice here.
