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.

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 Revelry’s atmosphere gets a 10/10. The outdoor pergola and concrete work with wisteria growing up it is gorgeous. The staff is friendly. The bartenders are fun.

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.
