The Revel & Roost joint website is odd. It seemed like Revel is ONLY open for breakfast and brunch, but when we got to the restaurant, both parts were open. (Looking at their website more closely, I found their dinner, but the way they advertise it on the main page is odd.) We hope to try Revel at some point.
Roost had very good food and a bunch of things I wanted to try, though their menu was pretty limited. Roost has no happy hour drink specials, so if you want one of those, stop in Revel downstairs first. Roost was also fairly empty, so we didn't really need a reservation, but I like to make them to be safe if they take reservations.
The dish I was most interested in (scallops) had a lot I didn't like (I tried it, since my friend got it and I'm glad I skipped it, since I'm not a fan of peppers), but they have a scallop appetizer I'd like to get next time. The dinner also came with some delicious bread and dipping sauces/spreads. There was a LOT of food, so an appetizer wasn't necessary. I ate all the best stuff from my meal, but couldn't have possibly finished my meal after sharing the appetizer. Very good service and food. I'd definitely recommend it & look forward to trying Revel.
We liked Revel better. Both have great food, but Revel has better happy hour specials and a vibe that fits us a bit more. We'll definitely go back to Revel more than Roost - great service and food with really good happy hour specials. I give Revel 5 stars and Roost 4, so I edited...
Read moreMy wife and I had our small (14 people) wedding reception at Roost. We were blown away at how perfect the night went. It all starts with Joanna. She helped us plan everything, dealt with our specific wants, and was so unbelievably pleasant 1000% of the time. She helped bring my wife's dream reception to fruition and exceeded our expectations on top of that. She made everything so easy. The staff at Roost took all the stress out of planning, setting up, and tearing down an event out of our big day.
Not only was the staff amazing, the venue is beautiful. Can be a small intimate gathering or open up for larger events.
We cannot stress enough how much we loved having our reception at Roost. We recommend it to anyone and everyone. On top of booking it just to have a beautiful venue, you should book it just to get to hang out with Joanna. She's the best and we are so happy she helped us create our perfect wedding reception! She deserves...
