Revel Restaurant & Bar Reviews

Booked a 50th birthday dinner for 20ppl. The invite list doubled to 40ppl and Revel couldn’t accommodate us. They wanted to put us in a back room with just tables and chairs, no decor and the room was dull and dreary. Almost 2 weeks before the event, I told them I’ll have to find somewhere else and asked if I can use the $200 deposit to dine in at another time. The Manager said no, I only had 48hrs to cancel after I booked. Some customer service! I would never go back or recommend that place. It’s small and the Manager Francine was not nice. Be careful when booking an event there. Shame on them! Thank goodness I was able to book an event across the street at PrimeHouse and everything was great.

Our food really did take forever for a non busy valentines lunch but our waitress was super sweet.

I dined here for lunch ages ago with my wife and it was a fun, chill spot. That lunch experience is why I thought it might be nice to have dinner there a few weekends ago with a group of four. We were seated in the back/parking lot side, and there was certainly a lot going on. (The front dining room, where the bathrooms are located, just looked awkwardly quiet and dark. They may have been having a private party) Sadly, there’s a bit of an identity crisis in the back dining room at dinner time…perhaps it’s just a weekend thing? Is it a sports bar? Is it a nightclub? Is it a restaurant? Is it a scene of any kind? I feel as if this spot is trying to be all of the above, but misses the mark on each & every one. It’s trying to be too many things. It was loud, the food was severely overpriced and the drinks were watered down. I remember many butts brushing against the back of my seat during awkward, drunken, gyrating encounters in the narrow aisle between the bar and the dining area…where they put a DJ. The TV setup was solid, if it were only a sports bar…but obnoxious otherwise. I couldn’t really hear our waitress, but then I don’t think she had much to say, except that they had run out of some items and no one knew what type of ginger beer they were serving. All in all…not worth my hard-earned $$$ Lunch was cool…dinner makes me never want to go back.

I hosted a birthday party at Revel for a group of 30 people. Francine and Anastasia from Revel were so lovely and accommodating with helping me plan my event. They truly made me feel like this event was special to not just me but them as well and helped me with every detail to make the night special. My guests had a great time and it was such a memorable night!!

We were looking for a place to have a small intimate wedding celebration, second time around is a charm!! and came upon Revel. From the moment we walked through the doors, the ambiance, the decor, and good vibes was exactly what we were looking for. Francine worked with us from beginning to end. She was engaging, attentive and a pleasure to work with. Francine made us feel at home and envisioned exactly what we were looking for and Revel hit it out of the park!! From the service to the food and the specialty drinks everything was fantastic. Our Guest all raved about the decor and how delicious the food was from appetizers to desserts. We highly recommend Revel in  Garden City for any occasion or just a night out for good food, drinks and a good time. We will definitely be returning to Revel again for sure.. Thxs again Francine and your wonderful staff.

Great brunch and really nice atmosphere.

2nd time going here, the food was great the relaxed ambiance of the entire place was popular, we had to keep looking for our server and had kept asking for our table ware to be removed before every meal other to that this place is awesome and would definitely go again. Also one weird thing was a grandma tried to convert me into herreligion and tried to make pray in the bathroom.

inside ambiance was wonderful. food and drinks were okay

Great atmosphere. Food was very good. Would of been 5 stars but it seemed like they were short staffed

Came here during Christmas Eve. Made a reservation but still had to wait quite a while. The seating was very tight and uncomfortable. The lighting and decor inside were pretty though, fit right with the Christmas theme with their blue lights. The food was delicious, I ordered the roasted stuffed French onion chicken and it came with mashed potato. Would recommend!

Great overall

Our office recently held our holiday party at Revel, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience. From the moment we walked in, we were immediately struck by how beautifully the space was transformed into a holiday wonderland. The decorations created such a festive, magical atmosphere—it really set the tone for the evening. We were fortunate to have a private room, and the service was exceptional. The staff was incredibly attentive, friendly, and always nearby whenever we needed anything. It truly felt like they went out of their way to ensure everything went smoothly. As for the food, it was on another level—each dish was more delicious than the last. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to celebrate together as a team. A huge thank you to Revel and its amazing staff for making this one of our best holiday parties. WHFL

Vibe, food, drinks, customer service, everything was on point. My cousin mentioned the Brussel sprouts were a little sweet which she didn't like, and the creamed spinach needed to be mixed in with the cheese on top, but overall enjoyed the meal and atmosphere. I will definitely be going again.

The waiter me and my friend had was very nice and attentive and the atmosphere was beautiful. The booth was a little dirty. The food was 5 out of 10 overall. I wouldn’t go back. It’s not worth it.
