Revery offers a delightful dining experience with "outstanding service" and "amazing food". Guests rave about the "retro vibe", expertly crafted cocktails, and delectable dishes like Scottish salmon and short ribs. Though some note a "loud" atmosphere, the "great value" and "friendly, attentive staff" make it a must-visit destination for comfort food with modern twists.

    First time there for a Christmas gathering of old friends, place is beautiful, and our waitress Whitney was great. Placed our orders and the appetizers showed up in timely fashion, we finished them and time was dragging a bit and then when the main course should have come out, Whitney came to tell me there was no Walleye left and I needed to choose something else off the menu. Needless to say, I was bothered a lot that this wasn't brought to my attention till about the time we should have been eating dinner. I then ordered the duck special and another 30 minutes later we were all finally served. The duck wasn't that good and others at the table noted their meals were kind of cold, so I am assuming their dinners just sat while they tried to get my duck prepared. Not a very good first experience in a building that formerly was a restaurant I had been eating in since my teenage years.

    Our 4th time dining at Revery and consistently great service and delicious food! We’ve enjoyed the Fish & Chips (excellent walleye), Short Rib (outstanding, then add in the sweet potato purée and Brie & bacon Brussels sprouts for the perfect accompaniment) and the Fried Pork Tenderloin (another excellent choice). This is a wonderful departure from the chain restaurants along Veterans Parkway in a cozy atmosphere serving great food. We would encourage you to stop in one evening to give them a try if you haven’t already dined at Revery. It’s one of those small businesses you want to support and keep in our community.

    Really like Revery. However, they were out of the entree that 3 of our 6 wanted. And also out of the cocktail one of us ordered. That was disappointing, especially for a 6:30 dinner time, and led to more expensive options too.

    It took almost an hour and a half to get our food and the service was not attentive. Our table was next to a service station so busy with lots of activity.

    Shorts ribs, sweet potato puree and brussel sprouts was sooooooo good. The leftovers were good the next day too! Ample portions and relaxed dining. Highly recommend.

    The menu at Revery is upscale and the food was tasty. The decor, however, is rather minimalist in contrast to the menu. Our party of 5 tried the salmon (3+ stars), the burger (3+ stars), various salads (5 stars), and the French fries (5 stars). Revert is worth another visit.
