Revival Kitchen — Restaurant in Brown Township

Hands down the best dining experience and food in Central PA. Each month they have a unique menu full of local ingredients that never disappoints. My wife and I have been each month (except one) since they opened in their new location. I’m not sure how the owners come up with such unique and delicious menus each month, but it’s a highlight of our dining experience in the area. Their small and well-trained staff also makes for an intimate experience where they share intricate details about each course at every serving.

On our way out we are given a bag of their delicious popcorn.The best part is that Chef Q makes very healthy dishes....

Creative, inventive cuisine made by talented chef-owners who do complete justice to the quality of the local ingredients they use. The passion, skill and care are infused into each seasonal dish served, creating dishes with beautiful flavor, texture and aesthetics. The service is spot-on and servers are welcoming, warm and attentive. A local winery operates a wine cellar/bar in the restaurant. Do some tasting, buy a bottle, bring it to the table. Excellent wines and wide selection. Great concept. In the heart of central PA's Amish country. 5 stars are not sufficient to reflect the superb nature of the chefs, the food, the staff and this restaurant that is...
