Issabelle’s 5-star review:
Love the food, drinks, live music and vibes from the Revel Room.
My friend and I came in around 7 on a Saturday night with no reservation and were expecting to have to wait a long time for a table. We were pleasantly surprised when we got seated at a table upstairs right away.
Plenty of seating upstairs. Lots of booths, tables, and high tops, that can fit about 40 or so people up there. It does get quite hot fairly quickly, but if they keep their AC running, there's nothing to worry about. Downstairs is where they have the bar, live music set up, bathroom and more tables. It does get busier as the night goes on, so either come early or make a reservation.
Drink wise, this spot is known for their cocktails. I decided to do the cocktail roulette, which is where you choose an alcohol base and then let the bartender create whatever they want for you. Both my friend and I got this and we decided to do a gin base. Mine ended up being some sort of gin grapefruit sour and my friend's was along the lines of a pineapple citrus sour. Both were delicious! I would drink that every time I came in if it was on the menu. We also got a bottle of the Sauvignon blanc after that because when you check in on Yelp you get 20% off a bottle of wine. I mean it's not really girl's night without a bottle of wine am I right?
For food, they have a pretty short menu that consists of Canadian fare dishes. We got the cornmeal crusted oysters and the bbq chicken flatbread and both were ah-mazing. The southern fried chicken, Cajun rockfish and pesto parmesan quinoa all caught my eye as well and I'd love to come back and try out those next time. Meals are definitely a bit on the pricier end, but the portions are decent and the quality of the food is amazing. Plus you're paying for the experience of it all which is worth it in my opinion.
They charge a $2 entertainment fee which goes back to the musicians and band performing to the evening. I honesty love this idea because it supports good talent and artists.
I can't remember our servers name, but she was fantastic and had so many great recommendations. She also had some really cool tattoos that we ended up talking about for a good 10 minutes.
Perfect spot for a girls night, date night, or any night really. I'll be back, Revel Room!
