Huntsville

About the restaurant

Revivalist is a throwback to a historic Huntsville tavern that once occupied this location and embodied the parlor culture of the era. Today, generous portions of old-time hospitality and attentive service are served with a menu that is considerably more modern—inspired by European classics and American regionalism.

My husband had the aged strip steak and Yukon mash potatoes. I had the salmon with risotto. We both had Caesar salads and shared a crème brûlée for dessert. The food was incredible! Portions are much larger than we anticipated and we were able to carry food home with us. Our server was very kind and attentive. She was made our dining experience personal and was easy to chat with. Outstanding date night! Thank you, 360! We will definitely be back.
