Revery

My husband & I went for our anniversary, and Sam provided great, attentive service! The food was so tasty. The short rib was beautifully tender, and the filet was perfectly cooked. We'll definitely be back for another special occasion.

We had a wonderful meal here! The short rib meal is outstanding. Meat is very tender, sweet potato puree and Brussels sprouts were absolutely delicious. Husband had the bbq ribs and a loaded baked potato and raved about his meal. Plenty of food- we were stuffed! Great, friendly service- I think our waitress name was Whitney and she was outstanding.

Welcoming and attentive atmosphere with a unique flair of a historic hip dinner with contemporary elegance. Lots of drink options and the food had some decent flavor combinations.

We enjoyed having Jason bussing the table. He recommended the fried chicken and my dad loved it. Darrick did a nice job as our server. We enjoyed the food and cocktails and there a number of good $25 bottles of wine. Across three of us we liked the short rib, fried chicken, an burger.

At first we were greeted very kindly. We were seated earlier than our reservation, because they weren't busy. I was a little worried that they weren't busy at 6pm on a Friday. But we sat, were greeted by an AMAZINGLY nice young man that offered us water and and told us about some of their offerings, then told us to save the questions for the server, because they could best help. Our server showed up soon after and offered some of his suggestions for starters, and meal options. We had the baked brie for a starter....DELICIOUS! Then we had Salmon and Filet and they were BOTH AMAZING. We also paired our meal with a whiskey flight which was the perfect fit for our evening. Then we had an espresso martini and creme Brulee for dessert, and ut was amazing! The churros were perfectly cooked. We loved that you can buy the kitchen a round of drinks to say thank you! We WILL be back! We highly recommend!

It was an absolutely stellar experience. The outside is a bit non-descript but don't let that deter you. They're making some amazing dishes in there. The meatloaf was the best that I have ever had and the mushroom gravy was perfect. Service was top noty, attentive and friendly. They make a wonderful Old Fashioned Overall, I feel that the meal was well worth the price. Definitely a spot not to miss.

First the good stuff. The 3 appetizers we ordered (beets, mussels, and calamari were excellent. The mushroom pasta was very good. Drinks were made we'll. I recommend the Old Fashioned. Service was also very good. Now the not-so-good. We were seated at a table for 6 in an alcove. I don't know if it was everywhere but there was musty smell where we were. The ribeye was ordered as medium rare but it can out medium/ medium well and had no sear. Screwing up the main protein (and the most expensive) is the reason for the low rating on the food. Hard to justify the expense for hit and miss quality.

My girlfriend and I went to revert for date night, it was our first time and we were blown away. Our server Darrick gave outstanding service, he made sure that we were aware of all of the feature menu items and was very professional and friendly. The food was stellar and the cocktails were delicious. Fabulously crafted menu and wonderful staff, would love to go back soon!

Great food and great atmosphere. Service was excellent as well. I loved the short rib. Darrick was the man!

An absolutely hidden gem of a restaurant in Bloomington. The bar menu is extensive and has some strong variety. Have hit the place up a bunch of times, never had a meal there that wasn't top tier. Practically, safe to walk in, order the special, and have whatever amazingness the chef's whipping up, but there is no miss on that menu. We're in an "oops all bangers" scenario here, folks. Bryson's taken AWESOME care of us the couple times we've run into him, and again, all the staff are awesome, knowledgeable, and super friendly.

The food was fabulous! I had the Bramble on to drink and the black and blue salad, the special. The service was five star, thank you Derek!

Gregory from Revery changed our night out from dinner to an experience. Really it is unfortunate, because now every other service experience for the rest of our lives will feel subpar. We have loved.....and lost.

I had the short rib and it was outstanding. Tender, flavorful and delicious! Shout out to Darrick for his top shelf service!

I had the chance to eat here on two different occasions in a week. I found both consistencies and inconsistencies. First, they did a nice job updating the inside of the restaurant. It gives a nice intimate vibe that works even with small groups. I experienced two different servers and they brought great, consistent service. Friendly and helpful in talking through the menu and options. With all of the dishes ordered with the groups I was with, we really liked the presentation of the dishes. They do a nice job of serving up your food with intentionality. The part that was inconsistent was the food itself. I had salmon in two different dishes. One night it was overcooked and the other it was undercooked. Others in my group one night had similar challenges with their dish. I believe these aren't issues that should define the restaurant and hopefully just a moment in time.

We were there for a special event on a Friday night and it was just lovely. The place is very classy. It has a black ceiling and is very dark inside which creates lots of ambiance. The food was delicious. I had the meatloaf and my partner had fish and fries. The place was plenty crowded and the food seemed to take a little bit to get out to us, which only gave us more time to visit.

A perfect spot for celebrating a new job, leaving an old job, or just ushering in the weekend. We had reservations for 6:30 and were pleased to arrive to a bustling restaurant on a cold Friday night. Seated in the bar side near the fireplace, we had a lovely view of the room and enough privacy for personal conversation. He chose the special of the Shrimp Scampi and was pleased overall with the flavor and freshness of the shrimp. I opted for the meatloaf and broccoli. The meatloaf and sauce were tasty, the mashers a little on the bland side for me. Our appetizers of beets and poutine seemed like an odd match, but the horseradish/cream/cheese with the beets made them irresistible, and the pickled giardiniera on the poutine added a unique touch. Both were almost finished. We split dessert of a Thousand Hour Brownie and I had a peppermint martini that was perfectly festive for a January Friday. Derek was a great server, he was responsive but not intrusive, had a great smile and helped us feel welcome. We can't wait to come back.

Sam was Amazing ant the food and atmosphere were spot on! Would highly recommend!! The churro fry dessert was mine blowing!!

Ambiance, food and drinks were all excellent. Jason was so friendly and helpful. Best Busser in the industry.

Wonderful !! Had a great time and perfect dinner. Sam was a welcoming and attentive server.

Do not sleep on this place!! We came here for our anniversary and had a great dinner. The food was amazing! The service was outstanding, loved the vibe, & we cannot wait to come back.

We went to the Revery for the first time on a Saturday night. It was a very nice experience. We had a Whiskey flight to share and starters of house salad and calamari. It was very good and plated beautifully. We chose entrees of short ribs and fish and chips. Both were delicious. Will be bring my parents here soon!

Love coming here. The food is excellent. Wonderful place for a nice evening out. Highly recommend.

Not quite sure that it completely pulls off the supper club vibe. I had the short rib which was absolutely outstanding. Solid service even with our group of 12. I'd go back tomorrow if I were staying in town.

Very nice service. The atmosphere was good too. Really enjoyed the meatloaf dinner.

Poutine good, drinks good, salmon excellent, crème brûlée also excellent. Deco was updated but still dark atmosphere. Service was good but nothing earth shattering or at a level I would expect for $120 bill.

first time. food was only ok. chicken was over cooked and salmon was not cooked well. Service was very poor the waiter was not attentive at all! However the young man doing clean up and initial water was amazing very polite! Jason sure has a future!

The entry way has a musty smell. I have the filet and it was so tough and inedible. Wife got pasta with grilled chicken. They ran out of grilled chicken so she got the filet. It was tough to cut and inedible. Couple we went with got a filet and meatloaf. The filet tough to cut and inedible. Meatloaf had some bones in it

Fantastic dinner - the best smoke old fashioned, hot Brie, calamari ( honestly- the best I've ever had) - short ribs and steak along with the sides were superb!!! A must in the Bloomington- Normal

So disappointed. Half the menu wasn't available and there was a super long wait for mediocre food that took over an hour to initially receive.. so to have to send it back (16 ounce ribeye) was very frustrating- especially since it took another 23 minutes to get the ribeye back! My husband and I were trying to have a romantic dinner to celebrate a special occasion but we didn't even get to eat together since his food had to be sent back. By the time his finally arrived (for the second time) my food was cold. First time going tonight; had reservation for 6:30. The young man pouring water and clearing dishes was so polite (believe his name was Jason). We didn't get out of there until 8:20. Waiter was nice but not nearly attentive enough considering all the issues, he did seem to have way too many tables so felt sorry for him but again for the cost of the meal you shouldn't have to pity the staff. Finally offered a "complimentary" dessert but given we were there almost 2 hours and late for the plans after, we didn't partake. Will not be returning.

I have been wanting to try this restaurant for MONTHS! Everything was cooked perfectly. For the appetizer we had the crab cake bruschetta. It was delicious. I had the shrimp and burrata pasta and my daughter had the salmon for our main course. Both spectacular!! The flavors in my pasta were out of this world. We finished it with the best crème brûlée we've ever had. AHmazing! The star of the evening was our waitress. Sweet Gidget serves you with a smile, sound "foodie" advice and hustles like no other. Ask for her when you reserve your table on OpenTable.com. You're welcome!

love their drinks!!! the atmosphere is very cozy and would recommend every person to come and check out this place

Enjoy the ambiance. Food was great. We celebrated a birthday and anniversary and service was very good.

Limited menu and were out of short ribs and meatloaf at 6 on a Saturday night. Greeted and seated right away but had to wait to place drink and then food order. No one cleared our used glasses, had to flag waitress down for refills. Food took forever-others that were seated after us were served but not us with no explanation. Food was good but the lackluster service was a disappointment. This is an old building and the entryway has always had a musty smell which could be off-putting to some-needs to be freshened up.

food was ok. only 3 stars for service and value. the restaurant was only 30% full, but everything took super long. We skipped desert only because we didn't have another hour to wait. Why no soups? I wasn't full when we left. Ran about $60 per person with tip.

Updated but still reminiscent of its former occupant. We sampled two appetizers and three dinner entrees AND dessert! The 2 meat & 2 cheese was big enough for dinner for one person and was a lovely amount to share for the table - only comment noted was crackers may have been preferred to the hefty bread, otherwise a delicious sampling. The house made ricotta was creamy and fun. The burger was delicious, perfectly cooked and good for any night of the week. The meatloaf was stacked and comforting, could have used more of the yummy sauce but a solid choice. The short ribs were classy and the stand out entree. The Brussels could have been crispier but that could just be my preference! Dessert offerings elevated the current options at restaurants around B-N. Would even be a fun place to come post dinner from anywhere else in town for the bar and dessert menu. The servers were attentive but still seemed to be working out the new restaurant timing as our apps came out a bit too close to dinner and our bar drink reorders came out too close to the end of our meal. We will be back!

We have been to this place when it was different owner and name. Trying food since new owner. Food was good, I had mussels with curry sauce and slices of sausage and my daughter had the meatloaf was little dry texture had different taste need some seasoning and salt. Service was good, waitress was friendly. We asked if they served break, she said it cost $1 with butter we said ok we can add to our order, she brought very small 4 thin slices without butter..LOL oh well. Ambiance looks the same cosy.

Had a delicious Thai fried chicken dinner last night. Our waitress was attentive and patient. Wonderful ambience too. And a diverse menu with lots of drink choices.

One of the best meals we've had. Service was outstanding and they let us know that each dish was made to order so requests to modify any dish for dietary or personal preference was an option. The baked brie with bacon jam was delicious. I am a chefs worst nightmare because I like my steak well done. I don't know how they did it, but it was perfectly cooked and so tender and flavorful! We were too full for desert but will be back to try them out.

Food from the beginning bread to my salad and my daughter's filet to the crème brûlée was amazing. I'll definitely be back

Delicious food! The baked brie with bacon jam was awesome as was the charcuterie board! Everything each of had was delicious! Definitely recommend for a lovely dinner. Service was great, also!

Four of us had dinner at Revery tonight. It was FABULOUS! Great service too. We will be back soon.

I had really high hopes, but was definitely disappointed. We got seated at 7:15 promptly but things didn't get off to a great start. The guy pouring waters was very awkward and silent. Sure, fine, it happens. Still was 5 stars. Then our waiter came. He was very friendly, but not very attentive. I ordered a mule and the waiter advised me it wouldn't be in a copper cup (fine) but it came in a really awkwardly shaped margarita glass, and was hard to drink out of without a straw. Then Our apps came and they were delicious (crab cake bruschetta, and brie cheese melt) but then we sat with empty drinks for quite a while, (4 stars) and the empty app plates sat for what seemed like almost 40 minutes. Eventually we were fed around 8:40 and yes the restaurant was busy, but our meals were just not that good. (3 stars) I had high hopes for my short rib tacos but the meat was dry, the corn tortilla was soggy and very crunchy on the ends and hard to eat, and just unimpressive. I could've had basic street tacos anywhere for $3 and these just didn't live up to what I expected. They need sauce and maybe better tortillas? My finance got the pork shank and the meat was alright but the potatoes were just a bit bland. Not much flavor or thought was put into it. I understand this is a "newer" place according to our waiter (who asked us to leave a yelp or google review!), but we could've eaten a lot of places and spent the same (or much less) and had a better meal. We wanted dessert but honestly didn't feel like waiting another half hour (or hour?) for the crème brûlée. We were ready to go. The music wasn't great either and seemed too loud, but also a bit obnoxious. (Benson Boone's beautiful things 3 different times? Really?) it just overall was disappointing and I regretted the choice for Valentine's Day. I hope they get better but I probably won't be back anytime soon. I understand everyone is busy and because it's a holiday, I'm feeling generous with 3 stars. If this were a weekday with the exact same experience, I'd give 2 stars.

Great food and a great staff! Gregory is an excellent waiter. He provides suggestions and explains any dish very well.

The food at Revery is first class. Flavorful and beautiful presentation. We've eaten here several times and everything is delicious! Make sure to get the Crème Brûlée for dessert. The service is outstanding and the servers are very attentive. Very impressed with Revery. It will not disappoint! And the cocktails are amazing too!!!

One of my new favorite restaurants in the Bloomington Normal area! I have been 3 times now and each time I have experienced incredible food, drinks, and service! I highly recommend checking this place out!!
