This place is a hidden gem! Such great food. It's a got a family feel, but like you're having dinner at you're fancy friends house and they're so happy to have you. Date night destination for sure.

Absolutely lovely restaurant. First off, the restaurant is in a gorgeous historic home. Beautiful interior. All the staff were kind and helpful. The food was phenomenal. They seem to change their menu frequently, which is cool. Will definitely be back.

Had a very solid experience at Revival on Friday evening. The place was busy, but a successful walk-in occurred just as we were arriving. They had a guy playing a keyboard in the corner. He was delightful and not too loud.
For our meals, we had the French Onion Gratin (soup) and the Cesar Salad. Both were good. The salad had white anchovies which were very tasty. We had the Chicken Marsala and the Walleye and Scallops. Again, both were good. The scallops were cooked perfectly. Finally, we had the strawberry shortcake which absolutely stole the show. It was moist and just perfection. Strawberry shortcake is not a dessert that I would typically get excited over, but this dessert was exciting.
We had several cocktails which we thoroughly enjoyed. There's a small bar in the back of the house that we would like to visit in the future. Dessert and drinks sound very nice.

The food is incredible. I literally just left dinner and I can’t write a review fast enough. The entire dinner was me and my boyfriend raving about how amazing the food was to each other and texting everyone we know and trying to set up the next time we can come and bring people to share in this amazing experience. Our waitress Elena was very knowledgeable about the menu had great recommendations and you could tell how passionate she is about the restaurant! Truly the best service I’ve had in a very very long time. There is not one thing I could even try to complain about. 5 stars all around. You have definitely gained 2 more loyal customers tonight. I can’t wait to come back!!

I don't think I can say anything bad! Our food was great, cocktails were great. Our server was great. The building has history, and the staff tell you to go ahead and look around. Even as we were walking around, staff came up and told us little facts about the place. This is truly a little gem.

This place is a little out of the way for us, but we thought we would check it out for Restaurant Week. Revival, a restored mansion from the 1900's, has so much character and charm. We were seated on the second floor at a cozy table for two right near the fireplace. There were plenty of options to choose from their 3-course PRW menu. The crab cake was amazing!! All crab, no filler, and well-portioned. Service was a little slow - we would have liked to have ordered a second round of drinks, but our waitress was handling most of the tables on the second floor so we didn't get a chance to do so. I also didn't like the fact that they automatically included 20% gratuity on our check. Seems a little sneaky - and if you aren't paying attention (or had a couple drinks), it would be easy to leave additional tip on top of the included gratuity. Parking is a little difficult, too. We had to drive around for a little to avoid parking in the nearby permit parking only areas. All in all it was a great meal, but I don't know if I would go out of my way for this place.

Revival on Lincoln was an option that came up while I was trying to look for a venue for a small (and slightly last minute) wedding celebration dinner. The pictures online and the menu both looked very promising, so we reached out to the restaurant to see what could be arranged. We spoke with Christine to discuss options, and she was so helpful, accommodating, and kind that we decided to not even bother calling other places on our list and immediately went with Revival. I’m so glad we did- everything about our evening there was wonderful. The staff was terrific and friendly and constantly on top of everything, the food was uniformly excellent (the chef and staff also very kindly accompanied the more limited palate of a preschooler in our party), and the ambience was perfect. We booked the Little House, a small private building adjacent to the main restaurant, and I’m glad we did- the size was perfect, and the holiday decor was cozy, festive, and tasteful, perfect for the occasion. All in all, the entire night was perfect and we couldn’t have asked for anything better. I can’t wait to come back to Revival the next time we’re in the area to see what great new menu options they have. Whatever your occasion is, I can’t recommend them enough.
Over the holidays we were visiting the area and looking for a venue to have a small wedding celebration dinner with family. Revival on Lincoln delivered on all fronts! The food by chef John was superb. The entire staff was so attentive, and our host Christine was very responsive to any questions/requests we had leading up to our dinner. We reserved the Little House and it was the perfect spot for an intimate dinner with loved ones and had a great cozy ambience. Highly, highly recommend this establishment!

My wife and I were there for restaurant week. Everything (food, service, ambiance) were very good. Unexpectedly they had a piano player that night (Fridays and Saturdays I believe). Definitely a plus. Great job with our server Elena. She served up previously and helped make the evening fun.

Such fantastic food and service from the team here! Must try the cesar salad and crabcakes!

Revival is our favorite Pittsburgh restaurant. We have been dining here since they 1st opened. The food & drinks are always outstanding. Chef John is a master at creating unique dishes. The food is so fresh & full of flavor. Every seafood entree is delicious & you will not be disappointed. There is always a vegetarian option. If I am not having seafood the chicken & steak has always been prepared perfectly. The menu changes weekly. The appetizer selections are excellent. My favorite is the fresh seasonal salad. For dessert we love the cheesecake & lemon curd bar. There is a full bar with plenty of wine selections & perfectly crafted cocktails. During the warm weather months we enjoy sitting outside & listening to music while we dine. Everyone makes you feel at home as soon as you arrive. All of the wait staff are great but Fred is our favorite.

My husband and I dined here last night for the first time and the experience was wonderful. We were greeted by Katrina and seated immediately (with reservations). She ended up being our server as well and as busy as it was, she was so kind and attentive. The meal was great and the ambiance was nice. Thank you!
