We had a memorable Valentine’s Day dinner at Reve. The place was beautifully decorated and everything we ordered was excellent. From the moment we got there to the time we left, everyone was so friendly and courteous and our service was amazing, it’s like visiting old friends.

We love this place- a nice hidden gem in downtown WC. We love sitting at the bar and Lucas is great- very knowledgeable and an experienced bartender. They had a three course prefix for Valentines Day which was a little pricey but delicious nonetheless. We just wish they still offered their delicious homemade bread during the prefix. One of our favorite date night locations- we’ll be back!

Waiters were polite and always around when we needed something. The meatballs were amazing! The tzatziki was amazing as well!

Best spot ever for a celebration! My birthday twin and I enjoyed a lovely quiet evening together while a cute family celebrating a young girls birthday together next to us! Menu and service is impeccable ALWAYS!
