Love this place and so glad it's in my neighborhood. The best happy hour in Richmond. Amazing service and skilled bartenders. Our favorite date night, hands down!

Food was very good. Small shared plates(tapas) style. Attentive service. Relaxed casual atmosphere. A little on the pricey side, but high quality all around.Kid-friendliness: Small kids menu available. Casual atmosphere suitable for kids.
5 stars across the board! Excellent service (Brooke was wonderful), great vibes, and every dish was cooked perfectly with great flavors. Super happy hour specials too. Will definitely be back.
Great find! The shareables are so good and a nice way to try things without getting a lot, but with several at a table you get plenty to eat. Food was great, tomato soup and grilled cheese was best I've had. Truffle devil eggs. Wow! Wattress was attentive, told us about different foods. Woll be back!

We were at Revel for a three club Rotary social last night. Unfortunately, not able to advise the number attending. But 20 attended, representing our three hundred members.The waitress was superb, and coped admirably with a growing number of attendees. Drinks and food were great, we will ensure all of our members are aware of Revel and its take on hospitality. Thank you Chef owner.

Loved everything about my first dining experience at Revel! I've been putting off going here for months and I'm so mad I did because I was definitely missing out. Unfortunately I filled up on the small plates so I had to miss out on the larger plates (I had my eye on the prawns hehe). Still, all the small plates we shared were delicious and filling. Oh, and the tiramisu?! BOMB. And I'm not even a dessert girly. Ariel was our waitress and she was great and very personable. Took us out back to see the set up since it was our first time and talked about upcoming plans for the patio! Looking forward to coming back and checking out their happy hour!

Finally got to check out Revel this past weekend. We got there early, 530ish on a Saturday and they had plenty of seating. For our meal we started with the beet salad, dates and squash ravioli. All three were so delicious, what a great start to the meal! The next round we went with the empanadas and patatas brava. Unfortunately I found the longest HAIR in my empanada. Gross but I didn't make a big deal about it when I told our waiter. He offered to make us a new order but being there were two still on the plate we figured what's the likelihood of there being another hair in those empanadas. So my date are the other two. I couldn't bring myself to have anymore. At the end of the meal I was surprised a manager didn't come over to apologize and that we were still charged full price for the dish but it's whatever I guess. Some restaurants are more generous when there's an issue. In all the food was delicious, the drinks were good and our server Josh was super attentive so would've given them a five but couldn't due to the epic strand of hair I had to pull from my mouth in the middle of dinner.

A great place to meet friends or family after work. Relaxing atmosphere, friendly staff, and a pleasing selection of appetizers and drinks.

Recommend happy hour. Good value for drinks and appetizers.Parking: Limited parking but options on side streets.
We sat at the bar on a Saturday around 4:00 pm. I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of space. The staff was friendly and the food was fantastic! Highly recommend the oyster stew and the beef tartar.

Good food and service. Parking is an issue. Entree size is small and needs additional items like for a fulfilling meal. Ordered more food after main course.Parking: Limited parking. Had to park at CVS across the street.

Very good food and service! Came here on sat evening around 5PM before stopping at the botanical garden and I got the bees knees (8.5/10) cocktail less sweet and my mom got the sangria which was VERY heavy on the bourbon. Not my favorite but she really enjoyed it. We all shared the patatas bravas (9/10) great soft interior potatoes with the perfect crisp on the outside. I wasn't a huge fan of the sausage because it was lamb. My brother got the empanadas, my mom got the butternut squash ravioli, and I had the special which was seared rockfish with clams, a cream sauce, and spinach (9/10). We then got the strawberry shortcake (8/10) and the creme brûlée (4/10). The shortcake was good but I feel like there could've been more pound cake to strawberry ratio and the creme brûlée was more of a thicker consistency than a normal custard. Overall was really good! I could probably skip on the desserts next time!

Fantastic spot, unfussy vibe, we always choose to sit at the bar and great selection of small plates offering up original comforting flavors with unexpected twists that are rotated frequently. Bartenders are excited for you to sample what they have on tap and they care about the wine they are carrying. Happy Hour is a win as well as the Charred Baby Carrots and Burrata Tartine.
