    We celebrated my husband’s Bday while watching the beautiful moonlight over the lake at our window table. Delicious plank salmon and curried cod. Katherine, and all the wait staff were impeccable. Topped with a creamy key lime pie and a cheesecake. Will return again when they open in the spring.

    First time at Revelry and really enjoyed it. Our server known as "Big Phil" was excellent. We went with 3 of his recommendations and all were spot on. Pretty casual spot with very good food and great service. And some nice beers too.

    My wife and I had the arugula salad and the grilled octopus to start. My wife had the fish of the day (Swordfish with a pistachio crust), and I had the veal saltimbocca for the main courses. DELICIOUS!

    There was a beard hair in my eggs and they made me a fresh plate. One server had the entire restaurant during breakfast- she was very sweet and did her best considering! Arguably the best part of the meal was the service. Coffee was some of the worst I’ve ever had and I’ve had iced coffee at Panera and various instant coffees. This was worse than that. We mostly dined because we were hotel guests. I’d go elsewhere if you aren’t.
