    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.

    Excellent late evening / night supper or appetizers. Food is fresh and tasty and the service has never disappointed! I could eat a whole field of those brussel sprouts! Keep up the great work!

    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!
