Amazing meal! I was here on a business trip and decided to try this restaurant, which is adjacent to the downtown Hilton Garden Inn. I had the pierogies, Revel Salad and a crab cake. All were fresh and better than similar items I've had at super high end restaurants. The service was stellar as well. I wish I was here for another night. I might have to visit Pittsburgh again just to experience other dishes here.

I started staying at the Hilton above this place when I travel here because I really enjoy coming down to sit at the bar. Every single person who works here is nice and welcoming. The drinks are always wonderful and the food is extremely underrated. They also have the best happy hour around.

My partner and I reserved to celebrate our Valentine’s day and it was probably the best decision we made!! The food was sooooo good and our server (I believe she was Hailey) was really nice explaining everything and checked in on us frequently. We got fried pierogis for apps. For main menu my partner got sirloin steak and I got New York strip steak for drinks we ordered raspberry chocolate martini and mimosa, and for dessert we picked mocha crème brule. Overall a great experience and I would definitely come back!!!

It was nice not having to go outside from the hotel to have dinner... three menu had a nice mix of food options. we started with crabcake appetizer, all killer no filler! It was delish, it came broiled and served with a lemon arugula salad and cajun remoulade. For our entrees, we had the Revel and Spinach and strawberry salad, both with salmon. Again, both meals were delish! Thank you! The staff was very friendly and attentive..

We went to Revel for the first time on light up night but probably won’t return. The atmosphere is fun and the interior of the restaurant has a cool modern vibe with a plant room and accent lighting throughout the restaurant. The service was good but the food was not especially for the price point. We had the raviolis but they mushy and looked like they opened a bag of frozen raviolis. It looked like a plate of brown mush. They had holiday themed drink specials for light up night but it was just a regular drink with nothing special but charged more for the drink.

My wife and I have been coming to Pittsburgh for years for different events. We generally like to get a hotel for the night and stay and find a good place to eat. We’ve been able to try many different places over the years however nothing has stopped here! The atmosphere, the food, the service just everything was fantastic! If you’re in town and you want a wonderful dining experience and a fairly reasonable price for the food and service, you have to give it a shot. my wife had the salmon she said it was the best she has ever had. I had a wonderful steak and the desserts were great too. 5 stars. A++ give it a shot you won’t be disappointed.

Great atmosphere and awesome bartenders! We didn't have any food tonight, but the drinks were excellent. Chelsea and Michelle took great care of us, and made an amazing old fashioned!

I had a fantastic dining experience at Revel! The food was incredible—flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was lively yet relaxed, creating the perfect ambiance for a night out. A big shoutout to Ralph, the manager, who provided excellent service. He was attentive, personable, and made sure we felt well taken care of throughout the evening. If you're looking for a great meal in a welcoming setting, Revel is definitely the place to go! Highly recommend it!

Came here for just a drink and an app. They have a decent size bar, I wish it was a tad bigger as I could imagine it fills up at night. The bartenders were all nice and attentive. They have a nice happy hour menu that even includes weekends which is hard to find! The Brussel sprouts were plentiful and had all the right flavors! During October they have a cocktail of the day and it's all pumpkin themed. I want to come back to try more! I ate here years ago and remember it being good so I will have to come back for dinner soon!

Last time we were here, I gave this location 3 stars because the service and food quality was ....eh. I'm updating it to 1 star after this visit. $3 for a Club Soda!!! Highway robbery! First of all, in my 38 years, I have never been charged for a club soda. It's water with maybe 0.15 cencts worth of carbonation. Also have been in the service industry for 20 years, I have never encountered an employer that charged for soda water/club soda out of the gun. My partner paid and just happened to see the receipt once home so I called and they confirmed this and apologized for the miscommunication. Ma'am... there was no communication at all. It was theft. A sneak attack.

It's severely understaffed! Severely!! There in a Sunday before a Steeler game... I feel super bad for the staff. A few servers and like 2 people making food. They work hard, but need to hire more staff. I'm guessing it's a private equity type place so maximizing profits. But it's expensive and the menu is sparse. Like very sparse. Plus most of the sparse menu is simple foot to make. I'm guessing this place won't last long unless they make some changes By the way, I can't stand when restaurants put condiments on things they don't have listed. They put mayo on my sandwich (which by the way, I had to get to go because it took an hour and a half to get it to our table... not joking). So... I basically threw the sandwich away after a couple bites. Just a totally crap experience from our weekend in Pittsburgh. Plus side... we had a great weekend touring CMU and Pitt and my daughter auditioning.

unfortunately quite bad. definitely not worth the price. espresso martini was good but not $17 good. the porcini ravioli was gummy and tasteless. just go to alta via!

I found this restaurant on Instagram and thought It would be amazing. It was subpar and the food was not that great. The atmosphere and service were amazing. They said on website that they had valet parking, but they do not. Would not recommend the macaroni and cheese or burger. The ravioli was good, but just looks bland. We also had some other food items that are not pictured, but they also were disappointing.

Our go-to big group brunch spot strikes again! We love bringing friends to Revel when they visit because they can always accommodate a big group & serve great food at really affordable prices. This visit, I decided to try their breakfast sandwich. While it doesn't sound like anything fancy, it was delicious! The egg was runny, the Gruyère was melty, and the peppercorn aioli was really flavorful. I also am a huge fan of breakfast potatoes, and these were top notch. In addition to food, the mimosa carafes are a great deal for a big group & the servers are on top of keeping them filled. The location right off Market Square makes it a great spot to start your day & then explore the area. Definitely check it out! Food: A- Drinks: A- Service: A- Ambiance: B+

I came here for a friend's birthday brunch on Sunday afternoon at 1pm. My friend had made reservations beforehand for 10 people. I got there a few minutes before 1pm and waited for several minutes for someone to come to the host stand. It took so long that I finally went into the restaurant and inquired about the host and was told that they would be out in a few minutes. When the host finally appeared, they told us that they had to go prepare our table so we waited a few more minutes. We finally were seated and the rest of the party trickled in. It took quite some time to take our food orders and I had to prompt the staff to do so. It also took quite some time for the food to come out and for the staff to come with our checks and that was with several members of the party inquiring about it. Thankfully they had a QR code on the receipt so I could pay my bill online immediately. Other members of the party opted to pay with their physical cards which they later regretted because it took so long to get them back. I got there a few minutes before 1pm and didn't leave until a couple of minutes past 3pm. Most of the party ordered one dish and one drink so I was confused why it took so long for everything. I will also note that the restaurant was never packed and towards the end of our visit the only other people there were two other small parties in the fairly large space. The food itself seemed to be fine overall. I got the brisket Benedict with breakfast potatoes. The breakfast potatoes were very good with good flavor. The brisket was bland and I couldn't finish it even though I hate wasting food. I tried my friend's chicken from her chicken and waffles and the chicken was juicy with a crispy outside. The space itself is fairly large and lends itself to large parties. The restaurant is also located steps away from Market Square. Another positive is that they were able to do separate checks for our party which was very convenient. Overall, while the staff was friendly enough, it took longer than it should have for our visit so I wouldn't go if you have to be somewhere else on time.

We had a group dinner here tonight and it was a great experience. The atmosphere was very nice, but the food snd service were outstanding. I highly recommend the crispy brussel sprouts, they were light and fantastic. I had the pork chop and it was excellent. Everything was very well plated, not rushed at all despite the large volume of orders. The service was truly outstanding. We were a large party and the staff handled it effortlessly. Everyone was professional, friendly and efficient. Our server was very warm and everyone was very courteous. It was easy to see why, the manager was running food during the meal and helping bus tables as we left. I highly recommend Revel if you are in Pittsburgh and I will definitely be back next time I am in town.

Yelp
I went for lunch recently with a group of colleagues before the holidays. The service was great, and everyone really enjoyed their meals. I had the salmon BLT, and it was really good. The salmon was huge and cooked perfectly. I do think it could have used more tomato and aioli, but I'd definitely order it again. My side salad was basic but good, and I liked the shallot vinaigrette. It wasn't very busy right at noon but picked up a bit later on. They didn't rush us out, which was nice since we work in two different locations and don't all get together often.

We had a table of 4. We got appetizers and i had high hopes. They came out quickly and the food was good. Our waiter was new and he was fine. Every drink we ordered took 15+ to come out. Me and my friend each got the 14oz sirloin ordered medium. His steak was twice as thick and each of our steaks well cooked well. Not awesome when neither of us like a well done steak. It reminded me of my deceased grandmas cooking. She would take a steak out of the freezer and broil for me when i was a kid. And on top of all that, the lighting under the tv was not attached. It just looked bad and the food was awful overall. Pretty bad scam for the $350 we paid for everything. Management absolutely does not care. We should have went to 5 guys or primantis.

Amy R.

Yelp
The reason why this is 4 stars and it 5 was the slow service and long wait times for our drinks and food to be brought out, in addition, we had a hard time making a reservation for 4 because they said they would be "super busy" but the restaurant was fairly empty the entire time we were there aside from maybe 2-3 other tables. It's a more upscale but casual atmosphere that had phenomenal brunch drinks. The food was a big hit as well. At the table we had chicken and waffles (which I wish had more hot honey), vegan bowl, and shrimp and grits. Everyone loved their food overall. They had a fair selection and prices were a bit on the higher side but I'd return again.

I came here with a group of friends after running the Great Race! They were super accommodating to our big group of 10! I was worried about finding a brunch place with vegetarian options besides waffles or pancakes, and this place had a good amount of veggie/vegan options! The $5 mimosas are such a great deal too!

Waited over an HOUR for our food. Watched food just trickle out of the kitchen. Ridiculous

Thomas K.

Yelp
Believe the negative reviews. Took 45 mins to get 2 appetizers, and another 40 minutes for 4 entrees. My drink had an 8-inch piece of hair in it. We sat near the bar and another drink was laying there dying for 15 minutes before someone finally delivered it. All the tables around us were in a similar predicament, everyone looking around for nonexistent staff, exasperated. Our server, Hailey, nowhere to be found. Other staff wandered around with uncaring expressions. Food was poor. Asked for medium steak but it was cooked to an inch of burning, complete rubber. Of course I couldn't send it back - who knows how long it might take to get another? Avoid at all costs!

JEREMY G.

Yelp
Food was pretty good but service was terrible. It did not seem that busy and our server disappeared for quite some time twice while we watched our drinks sit on the bar. Also, our plates were incredibly hot, which means that sat under a warmer lot for a considerable amount of time. Mimosas were more OJ than champagne, but they were also only $5. I probably wouldn't go back.

Was in Pittsburg for a wedding, went to Revel on Sunday, post wedding with family. It took 10 minutes for the waiter to bring us coffee. By the way, we were the 2nd table to be seated at 8:30 Sunday morning, so the place wasn't busy yet. 15 minutes later, the waiter brought the water we requested. As he began to walk away, I told him we were ready to order. We ordered the Brisket Benedict, the Nova Lox on a bagel, and an Avocado toast with a poached egg on the side. It took another 20 minutes for the food to be served. The poached eggs with the Benedict, and the poached egg I ordered with my avocado toast, were all hard cooked. No coffee refills were offered until I asked again. No spoons or creamer for the coffee. The server did bring cream over when I asked. The food was very flavorful and the portions were generous - but the over cooked eggs were a real spoiler when you like poached eggs. The server was very polite, but poorly trained - Managment owns that!

Dan K.

Yelp
We walked in and sat at the bar. When we sat down the bartender put menus down and we noticed that they only had food items and we just wanted to have a drink before heading home. He didn't really check back with us even though we stacked the menus to make it look like we were ready. We never got to see a drink menu so we just ordered two beers. It was a chill atmosphere because the steeler game just ended and it looked like lots of fans coming from the game were coming in. It was not really busy for a saturday night. We expected there to be a larger crowd.

Amber N.

Yelp
My only disappointment comes from the small menu. This wouldn't be a good place to go for picky people or those who like a little more variety. But overall it was a positive experience because: 1) They told us it would be a 30 minute wait for 7 people for Sunday brunch- which was already shorter than we expected. It was actually a wait time of 15 minutes or less. 2) Kevin is an amazing server. I can't say enough how much his positive attitude made our experience enjoyable. He was on point with everything including checking for more info when asked "are the grits 'real' grits" lol 3) Everyone liked their food. The bacon was cooked perfectly, without even one burnt or underdone piece. The Belgian waffles came with a few different toppings yet it all blended well. I would ask for more caramel because it's subtle on the bottom & mostly sticks to the plate.

Nice spot! Love the menu. The chicken crape smth was really good. Bartender girl was really doing a good job!

Great location but that's about it. Stopped for a pre concert meal. Only 4 other groups in the restaurant and it still took forever for food. Not impressed with the service. Food was mediocre. Steak was overcooked, "wedge" salad was a pile of lettuce with no wedge, and I could go on...

Revel is located next to the Hilton Garden Inn. It is actually the hotel's restaurant, but it certainly isn't a typical hotel restaurant. My son and I were staying at the Hilton over the weekend and decided to try Revel for breakfast. As you can see from the pictures, the breakfast was amazing! I had the brisket and eggs and my son had the chorizo frittata. The brisket and eggs were perfect and were served over a bed of sautéd zucchini strips. The potatoes were a mixture of diced sweet, red, and purple potatoes. My son's frittata was excellent as well. The tiny red sweet peppers were quite a treat. The chef (yes, not a cook, a real chef) even came over to ask us for feedback. of course we told him it was an amazing breakfast. At $15 each, for an exquisite hotel breakfast, this was very reasonable.

Kate F.

Yelp
Nothing more than a glitzy hotel bar with mediocre food. I can't speak for their lunch and dinner, but brunch here is not the move. To start, their brunch menu is limited. I ended up ordering the avocado toast, which was OK, nothing special. If I was being honest, it tasted more like Sabra guacamole on Wonder bread. However, what bothered me the most was how they tried to hide that by adding fancy mustard, riced cauliflower, and spiralized radish. That ain't fooling nobody, and more importantly, isn't an excuse to jack up the price to $17. The atmosphere was also very pretentious, and truthfully, felt more like a crossover between a speakeasy and an IKEA. Plus, there were about 10 "reserved" tables that I'm convinced were only there to make the place appear busy.

Went to Revel this past weekend for dinner. The atmosphere is great. It's a nice restaurant/bar visually. We sat at the bar and no one had any idea what was going on. I ordered an ice tea and the manager did not know where they kept the ice tea. Servers were scrambling behind the bar to find drinks. Their signature drink was served out of a large container with a spout. It got clogged and I watched the bartender stick her bare hand in the drink mix container (never washed her hands) unclog it, and keep serving it. The food was not good. I got the scallops...they were so so bland. It tasted like they were microwaved. A few hours after dining, I got sick. Never again.

Went for Easter Brunch and was sorely disappointed. Not only was the service probably some of the worst I've had in a very long time the food was really only ok. Decent eggs benedict, but it was institutional in presentation and texturs; Bacon so greasy you couldn't eat it; potatoes so overcooked they were mushy; baked goods and things like pancakes, french toast, etc with no available butter. None. Anywhere. I asked the person on the buffet and my server for it twice, never got it. Had to wave down a server to get salt and pepper for the table and a glass for the third person in our party (reservation was for three) The ad for the brunch mentions "Specialty Cocktails, Mimosas, and other beverages available." Yet I was told they wouldn't do espresso martinis this morning and was only offered a mimosa. And again, the service was absolutely terrible. Slow, busy chatting in corners on their phone, didn't remove dishes or refill water or cocktail without having to literally wave them down. Not to mention the seating was uncomfortable 'banquet' seating at the hotel. The whole thing felt very thrown together and not at all worth the cost of the meal by a long shot. No photos because nothing there was really worth photographing.

We enjoyed a great Sunday brunch at Revel. Great service -- thanks, Margo, you are wonderful. Great food: shrimp and grits were so tasty and creamy; breakfast Sandwich was equally tasty and home potatoes were fantastic (don't tell my doctor I enjoyed them). And the price was quite reasonable. You'll enjoy this restaurant, too! PS, next time we'll try the Brisket Benedict (recommended by Margo, who was so right about the other dishes).

An American restaurant located in Hilton Garden Inn Pittsburgh Downtown. Since we were staying in the hotel and had dining credit with Hilton Honors, we decided to have a late lunch here. ----- Margarita Flat-Bread: wheat flatbread, buratta, tomato, basil, lemon oil ($14). A simple yet satisfactory shareable plate. The bread was fluffy and the toppings gave a light flavor of sweetness and saltiness. ----- Forbes Burger: brisket, cheese curds, fried onion, Miller's mustard on brioche with beer cheese dip ($20). Beef patty was adequately of medium temperature, although the bacon was dry from being overcooked. Hardly any sauce was underneath the bun and was all in the center rather than spread evenly. By default the burger comes with chips and can upgrade to fries for $1. Fries were fresh and not overdone. ----- We arrived close to the end of lunch service, but by the time the server came it was past 3 PM, switching to the dinner menu. Abundant seats available for a late weekday afternoon.

We came for my sisters birthday and had a good time. The service was kind of slow but I won't fault them for that. There was live music on Friday and they were really good!! I also really appreciated that they noted which items were vegan or could be prepared vegan right on the menu. My favorite thing that we got was definitely the spread appetizer! They were all delicious.

Food and drinks were great! Drinks took a very long time to arrive after ordering and the server almost ignored us. DeSean was super slow, did not clear our plates after we finished and had to ask for water multiple times before receiving it.

terrible service, waited 20 minutes for our drinks after we ordered and the restaurant wasn't even at half capacity, the food is good but you need to be willing to wait a long time for it. I highly suggest avoiding this place.

Very disspointing. The first day we ate here, we arrived at 3:00, hoping to get a late lunch. Nope, they start their dinner menu at t 2:00 on the weekend. I ordered a burger, which was the only lunch item on the menu. The burger was okay but several hours later I developed atomach problems that lasted all night. We went to breakfast the next morning because we had vouchers from the hotel. First off, we couldn't sit where we wanted even though most tables were empty. The table they put us at was wobbly, as was every chair. I ordered the belgian waffles and was only able to eat part of one because it was too sugary snd tasted like it was made days ago snd pooped in a toaater. Overall, two bad experiences.

We had a good dinner tonight at Revel! Note: you'll probably need a reservation if you're coming on a Saturday night (especially before a Pens game and/or other big event) - we saw them turn many people away. The food was very good - the roasted brussel sprouts were the best I've had and hands down the biggest portion I've ever seen. The pork shank was delicious, but unfortunately the bone in the center was still ice cold - reheated, but not all the way through. Cocktails were very good, and our server was really a highlight of the evening - did a great job checking on us.

Revel Before I left out of Pittsburgh. I wanted to meet up with some former work friends. I decided to go to Revel which is in market square. I have been to Revel before but it has been years since. The vibe at Revel was vibrant and chill. The hostess presented great energy as soon as I walked in. One of the main reasons why I chose Revel was because they had an opening for Brunch. Our server was great and attentive. Now, Revel has a limited menu list when it comes to Brunch but they were all pretty much hot selling items. I decided to get the smoked salmon which was on a Bronx Multigrain bagel, pickled onion, arugula, capers, Black garlic-herb cream cheese. It was absolutely delicious. I also got a side of potatoes and bacon. Now the sides are typically ala carte depending on which brunch entree you get. Parking can be a pain. Downtown is a nightmare for parking, but I aways park in the parking garage that is right next to Revel. On that day, there was some type of event and the parking was $20 flat. I was a bit annoyed, because I only stayed at brunch for like an 1.5 hour. Now, there is street parking, but again, that can be a bit frustrating.

I used to love Revel for a quick lunch or an after work spot for dinner, but they've really changed their menu and it is so disappointing. The service we had was great, but the prices are crazy now. I got a salad with chicken and a Diet Coke and with the tip it was over $30. For lunch on a Tuesday that is crazy. They also have a super limited menu now. I miss the old Revel.

Jonathan A.

Yelp
Very nice food in Pittsburgh in the downtown area. We had both breakfast and dinner at Revel. I had the chicken and waffles and it was better than expected. A crispy thigh over a scrumptious waffle. My wife had shrimp and grits with shaved asparagus on the side. The shrimp were crusted with cornmeal and the grits were cheesy. It was perfect. Service was outstanding and quick. Bartenders provided us great cocktails. Dinner after the Steelers game was equally fantastic. I had the brisket burger and my wife had the chicken tortellini soup. Both were delicious. The bartenders served us smoky old fashions and jalapeño mules. Staff members were friendly and we had a good time drowning our sorrows following the game. We will be back to this gem.

Brunch is mandatory on Sundays in Pittsburgh, right? I was starving and torn between the Maryland Eggs Benedict or Chicken and Waffles. The server highly recommended the Maryland Eggs Benedict (poached eggs, blue crab fritters, brown butter hollandaise, scallions served on a biscuit and a MOUNTAIN of potato hash.) I was so hungry, but couldn't come close to finishing it all. My husband had the Breakfast Burrito (braised beef, scrambled eggs, onion jam, roasted garlic, green peppercorn aioli potato hash) and it was also very good. The braised beef had such good flavor, and the onion jam and peppercorn aioli really raised the bar. I loved the potato hash, which comes pretty heavily peppered- so good! I would recommend going for the bottomless drinks (as one drink is $7, but bottomless is $14) and can tell you that the mimosas are very good, and only about 1/3 orange juice :)

Easter Brunch was fantastic, great food and my server attentive. The only downside is I sat a small table that was not to sturdy. The manager came over and spoke with us which was also nice. overall good experence.

James W.

Yelp
Went for the Easter Brunch, party of 6 -- food quality was very poor; nice variety of offerings but when the quality varies from blah to meh, variety doesn really matter. Few things flatten a dining experience like a tired buffet, this one was definitely weary. At the carving station my request for prime rib was met with a super thin slice of overcooked tastelessness that the attendant proceeded to dip into the juices using his fingers; French toast was basically warm, stale bread with a little egg flavoring; I had really been looking forward to plundering the fresh seafood station but the much anticipated oysters on the half shell were thin and barely distinguishable from the water they were soaking in. Very, very poor quality for $65 a head plus automatic 22% gratuity -- a glass of Diet Coke was $4 add on. don do it under any circumstance.

Matthew was our host, server, busser. This place is awesome. They were short staffed but I can say even with that they did everything professionally and I appreciate all of it. They never stopped and we had great food, drinks and atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

Revel is good for cocktails and we also had a phenomenal brunch there. At the time they had unlimited mimosas for $15 (what?! yes!) & phenomenal chicken & waffles. We'd had some delish fall cocktails here & decided to head back for brunch, which did NOT disappoint. So delish my mouth is watering just thinking about it. The crispy sugar pearl waffles, savory chicken, spicy honey, and those little red poppers to brighten it up...best chicken and waffles I've ever tried. That's only 1/2 of the meal too...we split it!

Fanghua L.

Yelp
We were looking for a brunch place on very short notice, most of the other spots in downtown Pittsburgh were already filled so we decided on checking out Revel. It was an amazing decision. The chicken and waffles were delicious- they might be the best chicken and waffles I've ever had. So good !!! The smoothie was a little too sweet for me, but still very enjoyable. Not sure why this place isn't rated higher here on Yelp - I had a great time. I'm so happy we decided to come here instead of somewhere else.

Christy B.

Yelp
Wooooow. I love this place. We came here for brunch on a random Sunday and were very pleased. The ambiance is very fresh and modern, and the menu suits this. Service was not overly attentive and the food took quite some time to arrive, so I would recommend coming here before you are to the point of starving. My husband and step-daughter went for the All-American breakfast. Its your typical eggs, bacon, toast kind of meal. Everything was done well and they were both happy with their choices. I couldn't decide and after talking with the waitress for a split second, I went for the crab cakes benedict. This was the first time my husband looked me in the eyes shocked and said "wow, I chose wrong" regarding breakfast food. He normally thinks my random choices never compare to his basic fave, but this was really really good. We're looking forward to coming back soon so that I can try out my other choice and he can get to choose right.

Jared K.

This places looks very appealing. After having eaten there, my opinion has since then changed. I went with a friend of mine for dinner. The waitress starts by telling us that two items are not available. Fine, I will choose something else. I place an order for sweet potato skins, and then I am told that they are ALSO out of that. After that, nothing else really caught my attention. You can either order reasonably priced appetizers, or $40 dinners. Not much in between. I ended up ordering tomato soup-- thankfully they had that! The soup was very thick-- almost as if bread was blended into it. It was not too good, and I do not recommend. The cocktails were fine. Nothing amazing but nothing awful. Service was also very slow around 8:30/9:00 when I visited. The restaurant was probably at less than half capacity. Overall not too good of an experience, and I probably will choose something else.

We won't be back. Unorganized employees. Well below average food, but priced like a high end restaurant. We watched the bar tender do some nasty stuff behind the bar with food/drinks.

Liked the looks of the venue which is the location's ground floor more casual restaurant/bar. Prices were not that inexpensive, however, considering sides were priced separately. I ordered a crabcake sandwich with a side of slaw for 4.00 extra. The crabcake was good but the slaw was a fail. I remarked to my girlfriend I was with that it was swimming in mayo to which she retorted more accurately "no, it was drowning in it"! True, that. Price for sandwich, slaw, and iced tea was about 21.00. If the slaw had been unique and excellent I probably would not have minded so much but separately priced and not well executed? Hmm. 3 stars for average.
