Review The Revelry - Rochester

Tammra Schiller
Stopped in here after a company Christmas party at the MAG. Ive seen the Revelry as I’ve driven by on several occasions, and as part of a recommended place to stop for a drink. Glad we tried it. The menu is vast and options for everyone. The employees were great as well.

This is one of my new favorite places. The inside is beautiful. I'm thinking about throwing an event just to use this beautiful space. The service was wonderful, attentive and classy and the food was refined and delicious. I feel like I could've closed my eyes and picked anything off of the menu and it would have been good. We had the flat bread and salmon which were expertly thought out and prepared. A wonderful experience over all.

Went for brunch and enjoyed some if the gluten free options. The outdoor seating is beautiful and inside also has a fun atmosphere. The service was fine. They were busy, but not too slow. However, when our server asked about allergies and I informed her I was eating gluten free, she simply said “okay” without explaining the gluten free options. The menu does not have anything marked gluten free, so it was a little awkward getting the info from her. We tried the deviled eggs, frittata, grits, and stone fruit burrata salad. Best thing we ordered was the grits!! It’s a fine brunch spot but the food was a bit average. The frittata serving was huge and came with a side of potatoes (not necessary since there were potatoes in the frittata), stone fruit burrata salad could have used more stone fruit (also served a little warm with was odd), deviled eggs were fine but lacked something, and the grits - delicious!!!!!!! I’d go back for the grits and that’s about it. Plenty of lot and street parking around.

Our first time. Atmosphere was wonderful. Service was good. Bartender was fun to watch and very knowledgeable. Drinks were fun. Bar menu is very specialty and a refreshing change from the everyday options. I was a little disappointed at the very very small menu. One beef choice, one fish choice, one pasta choice. There was certainly options for starters and small dishes. But not many options for main course which left me choosing the special of the day. It was a shrimp with pesto risotto and smoked mushroom. While it was delicious bit pricey for three shrimp and risotto!! However I have to give kudos to the chef the risotto was perfection. Our group ordered the lasagna. The wagyu flank steak and the salmon. I will post photos of both the atmosphere and our food! I would definitely say give it a try, It was a fun place to experience!

Service was wonderful. Waitress was polite and attentive. Drinks and food were delicious. My favorite is the potatoes. It was so crispy but soft in the inside. It's my second time there this month, and I've been impressed each time with food and service.

Cocktail drinks were awesome. Crab cakes Benedict was great. Avocado toast with smoke salmon was a great meat. Great place to eat in Rochester when we visit family.

The food was very good, the space is a great old building and the build out features its history. We were there for brunch, with a gift card, so we ordered an extra plate of bakery goods so the bill was pretty high. It's a nice place for a special occasion where you would splurge.

This was our first time visiting The Revelry and we were both impressed. The well repurposed 19th century manufacturing building turned into this now great restaurant has a cool story behind it. Reservations were friendly, parking was close, easy and free. We were immediately greeted after walking through the door and promptly seated upstairs. Water and cocktails were nicely put together and served quickly. We started with Popcorn Shrimp for an appetizer and it was excellent. My wife had the Stuffed Butternut Squash and I had the Shrimp and Grits. The food and service were served hot and quickly and prices were comparable. We highly recommend The Revelry and will definitely be back.

It's been a while since we've been here, and it didn't disappoint. First night of a new menu that chef and his team put together amazing dishes. We started with the crab cakes, parkerhouse rolls with spicy butter, and the cod brand brandade. What a way to kick off the meal!! The crab cakes were very fresh with a light and refreshing remoulade. The cod is like a whipped dip with crostinis - super flavorful. The rolls I could eat a million of at least since they were light and fluffy with a butter that balances the spicy and sweet of honey. I got the lasagna with short rib ragu which was very tasty and filling. The side was cooked just a bit more than I would have liked, but still delicious. Wife got the 1/2 smoked fried chicken with Mac and cheese and broccolini. The chicken was juicy and tender, m&c was super creamy, and the broccolini was light and garlicky. We also tried the handcut fries, and even the kids agreed they were the best fries we've ever had. We got the chocolate torte and poached pear to bring home for dessert. They were super delicious. We thought that the torte would be better with a peanut butter sauce so it's like a chocolate peanut butter and jelly. Overall, fantastic with great portions and flavors.

The violet margarita was delicious! Tried a Po Boy for the first time and was blown away! Fried chicken with collard greens to die for - our server was outstanding at his job and took great care of us... I highly recommend the pecan bread pudding for dessert, you won't regret it. Thanks again for another special dinner to remember!

This place does it totally right. they have a small menu that’s absolute perfection. I talk about the horseradish wedge salad all the time, definitely ordering it every time I go. Their brunch is the best too! Chicken and waffles are amazing along with the shrimp and grits. Prices aren’t that bad either, especially for the quality of the food! Highly recommend!!

first time here........very long wait for food.....over one hour............great service by waiter.............meal was so-so....steak & scallops..........not worth the cost.........drinks were great........no bread served with the high cost meal??...will not return,,,,,,,,,

Burger was great , menu is more seafood catored. Fries had too much salt on both dishes, and the red drum had way too much cajun spice on it. Does really let ypu know that is really spicy.
Jodi Kane
Not a great experience. The food was over priced, presentation was very lacking, it was so loud we couldn't hear the other people at our table of 4. The pork chop, while cooked perfectly, was flavorless. The scallops were luke warm at best. It took close to 2 hours to get our dinner and we were all served at different times. The hype is just that, hype. Won't be going back.

Revelry is a hip downtown bar. We especially like the knowledge and skill of the bartenders as they are thoroughly schooled in the art of mixology. A little disappointed in that they do not carry premium vodkas like goose or kettle and didn’t have higher end bourbons like woodford reserve or buffalo trace. We still have an enjoyable time there each time we go and will go again!
Gordon Rice
Always great food and great cocktails! Revelry could use some acoustical treatment to cancel out some of the noise. It gets very loud from just the patrons.

I've eaten here just three times when I've visited Rochester and I'm amazed by the quality of the food and service each time. I live in San Francisco, one of the biggest foodie towns, and the food here gives the fine restaurants of the Bay Area a run for their money. The dishes are strongly flavored and well prepared, the presentation is thoughtful, and the service is professional and friendly. Rochester is lucky to have a restaurant of this caliber in its midst. Well done.

Best “joint” in Rochester, as Brother Wease would say. The food is made with love and the staff is the best in the city!!
Kim Sharp Albert
Exceptional experience from service to food. Would give 5 stars except the lighting in many areas of the house are very very dim. We needed to use our cell phones to see the menu and when our food arrived we needed them again to see what the dish really looked like. We were seated on the second floor in the smaller side room and we're seated in a table in the corner which we LOVED but there was NO overhead lighting except in the center of the room and the tiny tea light type candles were useless even for mood lighting. We will go back most likely but will ask to sit in the more well lit main area.

One of the best place Iv been to. Trout was delicious, Flat Iron steak was juicy and tender. Pumpkin Creme Brûlée was yummy. Thanks Revelry for your hospitality, delicious food to share with my wife and I on our 11th Wedding Anniversary!
Amy Goole
I always have a great experience here. The bartenders are top notch and the cocktails are fantastic. The beet deviled eggs are to die for! That's all you really need to know.
Tee Harris
The drinks were not good at all. Five people from our table had drinks and everyone did not like them. The waiter was good about replacing them with a different drink but none of them were good. The food was ok, but not so great. Also, two of the waiters were rude. �
Antonia Shiffman
MATTTT!!!! What a wonderful afternoon cocktail....the Martini was sublimely filthy and the glass chilled to perfection. The conversation and ambiance was without flaw! You run a first class joint there and many thanks for the complimentary Fernet! We'll be back......

This was my favorite Rochester restaurant until last night. Horrible service. And how do you run out of two regular menu items at 9:30 on a Friday night?? I'll never go back.
