I was in town last week for a wedding and saw this place on social media, so I decided to check it…read moreout. I was the first to walk in around 4ish in the afternoon (they have happy hour!) and I was offered a seat and water quickly. I decided to order the smoked salmon crudo and the gentleman (I think one of the owners?) gave me some pairing suggestions. While that was getting prepared in the kitchen, he offered me a tasting of another white wine on the house, which was so kind! In the picture below... it's most drunk haha but it was a nice amount to taste and sip on. That smoked salmon crudo is SO GOOD. The citrus adds a nice brightness, and I think there was a hint of honey used in the vinaigrette. I was pleasantly surprised and it's easily the best smoked salmon dish I've had in a while! The wine was excellent as well. I was only in for about an hour, maybe an hour and a half before I moved on, but I got to hear regulars come in and greet the owner like old friends. There's a really cool vibe here, with great music and decor, so I really wished I lived closer to visit more often! As I was leaving, I did chat with the gentleman again (complimented him/the wine bar) and he said he hoped that I would come again as he is trying to work with his partners to add more to the menu (the regulars that came in were asking after the gumbo and the brunch, which they were not serving at the time). I definitely hope to visit again and try those other menu items!

Had an okay visit to The Library Social club today. The décor was cohesive--the theme is akin to…read moredark academia with rich paint colors on the walls, animal skulls and of course, tons of books. The seating options were disappointing as the benches along the wall had no cushioning and the couch we selected instead had flat, sinking cushions. The music was too loud for reasonable discussion with my friend, though the server did lower the volume at my request. I had a tasty flight of sparkling wines and the server gave a speedy, short introduction to the pours. My largest disappointment came with the arrival of the check. Despite signage outside the establishment that implied the opposite, I was informed that wine flights were *not* included in happy hour pricing. I found the messaging exceedingly unclear, and of course, there's no mention of happy hour on the menu nor did the server share the happy hour options when we were seated. It was a disheartening end to a midling experience up until that point. It's not that this place is terrible, it's just not that good and in this economy, that is a must. I will not be returning.

Four Years Later... A 50/50 Experience, But That Out of Bounds Keeps Me Coming Back…read more My last review of Revel was about four years ago, and it was not a good one. Since then, I've returned more than a dozen times, mostly for Happy Hour and my favorite cocktail Restaurants change, and staff changes frequently. With those changes, the overall experience can change as well. After all of these visits, I would say my experience at Revel has been about 50/50, both with the food and the service. That said, there are definitely things here that keep me coming back. Happy Hour is my favorite. I'm fortunate to be recognized by a few of the servers, and when I'm seated in their section, the experience is always good. The Happy Hour food is generally solid, but my real reason for returning is the Out of Bounds (OOFB) cocktail--a small-batch Old Fashioned that is absolutely worth the trip. On a recent Saturday evening, I decided to order an OOFB and give dinner another try. My dining partner ordered the risotto, and I'm glad they did because this was, without a doubt, the best risotto we've had here to date. It arrived at an appropriate temperature, was a generous portion, beautifully plated, and was a complete flavor bomb. I'm not generally a risotto person, yet I ended up eating half of it! I ordered the mussels after seeing them being served at a neighboring table. I didn't read the description before ordering, which was my mistake. They arrived at the appropriate temperature, were nicely presented, and every mussel was opened. The flavor was good, but there was a level of heat that I personally didn't enjoy. I didn't send them back because, honestly, that was on me for not reading the description or asking about the spice level. If you enjoy a little spicy heat along with saffron, these mussels may be right up your alley. Overall, the food was good, with the risotto definitely being something I would return for. The service, unfortunately, was another story. Our main server was largely absent, so we repeatedly had to ask other servers for assistance. That's frustrating, especially when you're trying to enjoy a Saturday night dinner. I understand that staffing and service can vary, but this was noticeable enough to impact the overall experience. So once again, my Revel experience landed somewhere in that familiar 50/50 category. The food has definite highlights, the OOFB keeps me coming back, and when you get the right server, the experience can be really enjoyable. I just wish the service were more consistently attentive. I feel four stars is a fair overall rating. I'm taking away one star primarily because of the lack of attentiveness from our main server. Revel is definitely a hot spot in Danville, and with that popularity can sometimes come some inconsistency. That said, I would absolutely recommend starting with Happy Hour if you haven't been. It remains my favorite way to enjoy Revel--and that Out of Bounds is still worth the trip!

Four of us dropped in on a Thursday night around 6:30 PM without reservations. When we arrived,…read morethey initially hesitated to seat us, saying they had a lot of reservations, but eventually sat us. The restaurant was only about half full with plenty of open tables. We were immediately told we needed to order quickly because of all the reservations coming in. Two different people continued to pressure us to order, and we definitely felt rushed. The restaurant was extremely noisy, which made it difficult to have a conversation. Communication was also challenging at times because of the combination of the noise and the staff's accents. I even asked the waiter if the kitchen was slow getting food out, and he said yes. We ordered drinks and salads but hadn't had enough time to really look over the menu before being asked again about our entrees. We said we'd be ready to order when our drinks arrived. They had Maui Waui beer on the menu, which is a favorite of mine, but unfortunately it was only available in a can and not on draft. I wish the menu had made that clear. We eventually ordered our entrees. We shared a beet salad and mushroom soup, and both were excellent. We really enjoyed them. One friend ordered a cup of soup rather than a bowl, but when the bowl arrived, he didn't say anything and figured it was their mistake and we wouldn't be charged for the larger portion. We were, however, charged for the bowl. As the evening went on, more tables filled up and the noise level became even worse. There was a very long wait between our salads and entrees. I noticed other tables also sitting for quite a while waiting for their food. What's interesting is that the restaurant never actually became full. Even when we left, there were several empty tables. For a relatively small restaurant with only around 14 tables, it seemed like they were struggling to maintain a reasonable level of service. At one point, my friend went over to the bar and was talking with the bartender about their specialty cocktails while our entrees were being delivered. He didn't realize the food had arrived. Instead of simply letting him know his food was there, the waiter told him, "Sit down," in what came across as unnecessarily rude and odd. The entrees themselves were good, so we had no complaints about the food. Unfortunately, the service continued to disappoint. It took quite a while for anyone to come back to our table, we had to ask a couple of times for the check. Then came the biggest issue. We reviewed the check and confirmed it was correct, but when the waiter ran our credit card, he charged us for someone else's, higher bill. He brought the receipt for us to sign, and we immediately pointed out the mistake. Instead of voiding the incorrect charge or refunding it and then charging the correct amount, they simply ran our card again for the correct amount. We were now left with two charges on our credit card. We asked for a receipt or confirmation showing that the incorrect charge had been refunded. We were told they couldn't provide one and that the credit would take a few days to appear. Hopefully it does, but not providing any documentation for a significant credit was disappointing. It's unfortunate because we really enjoyed the food and initially thought this could become a place we'd return to regularly. Unfortunately, the rushed service, long waits, lack of attention, and the way the credit-card mistake was handled left us very disappointed. The food was good, but the overall service and experience were not, and based on this experience, we won't be returning.
