This place is simply the best. We have traveled extensively and have had fine dining all over the world and am not exaggerating when we say that we have never had a culinary experience better than this one. This year we were able to get there all 6 months of their season and there was not a clunker at all. It is really hard to comprehend the level of talent and skill required to put together such fantastic tastes and not have a miss at all. It is hard to pick a favorite dish because they are ALL THAT GOOD! Everything is scratch made with local ingredients, including from the garden out back. The menu is fixed, there are limited seatings per night and the staff is fantastic. Very attentive and really knowledgeable about the food. The best part of it all...there are tons of things I would never choose to eat otherwise but tasted sooooo good. As others have said...this place should be Michelin Starred. It is that good. The atmosphere is also fitting....it is cozy, not loud and perfectly suited. read more

The food was outstanding. The service was professional and knowledgeable. They explained each course as it was served. When making a reservation we requested vegetarian and it was accommodated perfectly. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing. Keep in mind this is a culinary experience with flavors that will amaze you. This is a gem in a small town setting. Note that reservations tend to fill up fast and the restaurant closes for the winter months. The wait is worth it. It is also a bring your own bottle restaurant, so bring your favorite wine. read more

First time visit after a few failed attempts at getting a reservation over the years. This place is located in Reedsville which is a very small village that has some charm. A side stop between State College and Harrisburg. We went with friends and brought a few bottles of wine (byow-no cork fee). We were the last seating of the night at 7:45 PM. This is a fixed price, fixed menu, 5-course meal, with a surprise 6th appetizer, all with a "Fall" theme as we visited in September. This is a farm-to-table restaurant with many items coming from their garden. I wouldn't say the menu options were my favorite but the presentation was excellent. Everything was delicious, service was great and it was a beautiful evening with friends. We were there past 10 PM as the restaurant came to a close. I'm glad places like this exist outside of the typical urban setting - thank you! read more

This is literally my favorite restaurant to eat at in Pennsylvania. The food is top tier, and the service is always incredible. The chef always rounds to see how dinner is. We go at least once a year and always have the most amazing experience. read more

I visited Revival kitchen on a Friday night at 8. I happened to snag a reservation by chance while I was in town and I'm was so very excited for this family meal. My husband and son joined me for a lovely night out with great service and complex flavors. We brought 2 bottles of wine and the staff promptly opened them when we arrived. There is no corkage fee, which I appreciate. The meal was so well balanced and I walked away feeling so full. My favorite item was the roasted harissa veggies as I could have eaten a whole plate of that alone as my meal. The veggies were charred, not burnt and the bean tahini aka hummus was delicious. I also really enjoyed the welcome bite of a crispy pork belly and some kind of chip. My apologies for not remembering what it was, but it was a nice starter. The beef- cooked to perfection. The strawberry dessert- a nice light end to an amazing meal. Service- personable and top notch. I just loved our evening and the creativity of chef Q. Highly recommend read more

First time we managed to get a reservation and Revival Kitchen was a grand slam! Each dish was complex, artfully plated, and delicious. There were so many wonderful flavors: rose sugar in the opening snack, smoked mussels and saffron foam in the soup, homemade ricotta in the carrot pasta, spruce sorbet palette cleanser,, an incredible steak, rhubarb ice cream. Wow! Super unique. Service was friendly and professional. The dining room is small and the ceiling is a bit low, so the noise level is pretty high when the room is full. We were across from a table of 6 and one gentleman did not know how to use an inside voice, so we had to lean in to talk over this loud talker. But that's not the restaurant's fault. I think the price is really a bargain for what you will experience. Bring a nice bottle of wine and enjoy! We're already looking for reservations later this summer! Fantastic! read more

Super yummy, creative food. There's a lot of foraged goods on the menu. The service and the cozy ambiance are great for conversation. It's pricy but would come again! read more

Great experience while visiting friends from Boalsburg. Hidden gem that we were lucky to get into. Amazing food, staff is awesome, and if you are a "foodie" you will love this place. Grab a few amazing bottles of wine BYOB and just go! You will not be disappointed. read more

As first timers, we were so pleased that Revival Kitchen lived up to the hype and exceeded our expectations! As a vegetarian, I appreciated the easily modified menu and their seasonal veggie-forward focus. The ingredients and flavor combinations were delicious and unique, creating quite the foodie experience which we have found difficult to find in central PA. Service was impeccable and the atmosphere was perfect. We were also surprised to actually have space and privacy between tables at such a small upscale restaurant. We can't wait to get back there! Well worth the cost, the drive and the wait for reservations! Gotta check out Pass the Dutchie next. read more

We came to Revival with some friends on a football weekend. You couldn't ask for a better dining experience, especially considering the location of the restaurant in a small town in the country. Really outstanding preparation of locally sourced ingredients. The food here is as good as you will find in any big city restaurant. The prices might seem high, but I've paid way more for the same quality food in major metropolitan areas. Also keep in mind they're not making money off alcohol sales. It's BYO, so make sure you bring some of your favorite wines!! They're only open a few days a week May-October. It's really hard to get a reservation, but it's more than worth the effort trying to book a reservation. We' booked a reservation for this Fall, and I'm already starting to think about how good this will be. read more

The Food was excellent! Highly recommend the restauran. it is an experience! the restaurant should be reviewed for a Michelin star

Very creative Chef. Always something new to please the palate. Excellent attentive service. A memorable evening. read more

World class food with amazing staff and ambiance. We had meals in Michelin star restaurants that weren't as good.

To be totally honest... this place isn't worth the hype. It's wildly expensive and only a few of the courses were actually really good. The service was excellent though. It's very trendy, and farm to table setting. I can absolutely appreciate it but for sure won't pay for it again. read more

Amazing food. I cannot wait until they reopen this fall/winter. Revival Kitchen will get my business as long as they are open. Service was always very friendly and attentive. I even enjoyed the drive out to their Reedsville location from State College because I was always so looking forward to my meal. And that wsays something because its about 35 to 40 minites away. Update 6/2019: We finally tried the new location and it was everything we expected and more. We came for the taste of Italy menu benefitting CPI culinary students and the food was amazing! We had an antipasto board, risotto, lamb ragu with polenta and mushroom ravioli. It was all phenomenal. I can't wait to come back read more

Great ambiance and good food!! Kind and welcoming staff. Highly recommend this place to anyone.

Always a great experience with Chef Q and the team. We are fortunate to have this gem in our community.

Five stars isn't enough. Chef q is from another world. The parings of the different textures and blend of salt, sweet,and acid. Amazing Thank you chef for another great gastronomic journey read more

Creative, fresh and DELICIOUS. Locally sourced food, created and prepared by the amazingly talented Chef Quintin. A one-of-a-kind gem in Reedsville. The 25 minute drive from State College is beyond worth it - a must try! MUST HAVES from the menu: the coffee roasted beets, heirloom tomato bruschetta, smoked duck breast, the 6oz filet (melts in your mouth!), and the salty sweet brussel sprouts. Make a reservation with a group of friends and BYOB...order just about one of everything on the menu and share it family-style! read more

I was just recently on a date at Revival Kitchen and everything was beyond amazing. We drove from State College to visit this place because it seemed pretty promising. I have to say, it exceeded our expectations! The staff and owner(s) were so friendly and warm. You couldn't ask for better people to serve you. Better yet, we loved the food! The vegetarian French onion soup was the best I've ever had! My Honey Nut Risotto was to die for! Special shoutout to the dynamite chef! All the food is local, and they actively promote and support local farming. It really is the best new place around. You can't find anything like it anywhere else. I cannot wait to go there again!a Side note: My date got up and started dancing with me in the middle of the restaurant - the evening was spectacular. We stayed there for a good two or so hours. I highly, highly recommend this place! read more

They open @ 4:30 I called @ 4:15, they kindly asked if they could have the table back by 6:00, we gladly obliged as we gave them no notice whatsoever. Ok, so, we were promptly greeted by very friendly staff and seated right away. We opened with their summer corn soup and grilled sourdough bread. Try this soup folks, not kidding, you need to try this soup. I think off-the-chain is the appropriate phrase these days. And the sourdough bread...no slouch either. They grill this homemade starter, served with their own concoction of honey butter and you have a great opener. Then, the entrees. Tri-Tip (medium), duck breast (chef suggested medium), Merlot (you have to leave your table and choose and pay for this drink from an outsourced group in the back of this small establishment (Seven Mountains, which wasn't a big deal at all really). Food was superb, service was excellent, support staff again, excellent. Can't knock a thing. The food was very very good folks. Presentation, flavor everything. This place, in the middle of small town USA, is easy to get to and worth the 40 mile trip it took us to get here. Highly recommended. 4 stars, why? 1st time visit. We will absolutely be back and then, we'll see if it warrants a 5th star, which I will gladly update. This place is a Gem, give it a visit, you won't be disappointed. read more

Travelled 3,000 miles for one of the best meals and company a person could ask for, and would do it again in a heartbeat. Juiciest, melt in your mouth steak? Fuggedaboutit! Lucky enough to get one of the plates of crispy, better-not-waste-a-single-drop sauce, delicious brussels sprouts before they sold out. Layered, creamy potatoes that looked like a piece of art. And that was just my meal. Bites and tastes from around the table. Can't wait for Revival's next adventure! read more

Love the new location! If you are looking for the best restaurant in central Pennsylvania for special occasions or a special treat for you taste buds Revival Kitchen should be your first choice. Everything from the appetizers through the dessert was amazing! They only serve 30 dinners a night, this allows them to pay special attention to everything they serve. One of the owners waited on us and the other is the Chef! The best dinning experience I have had in a very long time! Reservations are on rolling 2 month window but well worth the planning! read more

Artistry on a plate! Yes, Revival Kitchen is 5 star restaurant in Reedsville, PA! We recently attended one of RK's monthly "Sunday Suppers", which have a theme for the meal that includes dishes not on their regular menu. This month's theme was an Asian dinner. Décor: The atmosphere is quaint and inviting, simply decorated with natural/wooded highlights and eclectic furniture/seats. Be sure to check out the floor in the rest room, which is adorned with pennies representing the keystone state. Service: The service was very attentive and accommodating. The wait staff responded in a positive way to all requests. The co-owner stopped by our table at least twice during our meal to check on things. Food: Fresh and amazing from start to finish! RK focuses on using locally sourced products from the surrounding farms. On the one chalkboard displayed was a list of all the local farms they utilize. The meal started with Thai crab ceviche spoons followed by a mixed salad made with fresh greens, bok choy, and other Asian veggies. The main course included three entrées: Hoisin braised boneless beef short ribs, Korean fried chicken, and a vegetarian/asparagus stir-fry. These were accompanied with home made Kimchi and white rice. Every item was mouth watering and paired nicely with each other. The beef rib was amazing and fork tender. Dessert was coconut tapioca with candied ginger and tapioca crisp. This was not your grandmother's tapioca and had me wishing for a second serving if I wasn't full already. Each dish was artfully plated prior to being served. There is definitely a "chef" in the kitchen and not just a cook! Overall we highly recommend RK. I thought the price matched the quality and quantity of the dishes being served. While Reedsville is a short drive from State College and Harrisburg, I believe the high quality of food being served is worth the commute. read more

We have dined at Revival Kitchen multiple times. We have taken family and friends who are omnivorous and they enjoyed everything they were served. They told us the gnocchi was done perfectly. The locally raised and butchered beef thrilled and satisfied one of the (self described) pickiest eaters I have ever known. We have all raved about the Coffee Roasted Beets that rightfully won the Sixth Annual Golden Basket Award this year. Chef Q knows how to celebrate food for what it is with complimentary flavors, textures and impeccable plating. When your dish is set before you, it is a feast for the eyes that prepares you for the ultimate dining experience. Imagine colorful pressed melon bars that have been infused with wine and, in pure Central PA style, topped with a little sea salt. Caramelized grill marks on veggies that are charming with their root ends still recognizable make you stop to appreciate the local foods you are about to eat. Autumnal squash never gets boring at Revival Kitchen, perfect cubes of golden butteriness or wafer thin circles of delicata squash play with your eyes before treating your palate. Forget the tired old plank of zucchini, here you will be served with small lozenges of the squash that are immediately recognizable by allowing a section of their vibrant emerald skin on. Recently, we were overjoyed to be reintroduced to a vegetable we hadn't had since we were kids; Salsify (oyster plant) was feature along with carrots and sweet potatoes! What a memory it brought back with the slightly slippery mouth-feel and it's nuttiness complimented with a bit of truffle oil - delightful! Creatively crafted, local, seasonal food make this restaurant great but what makes it stellar is the staff. Every member of the waitstaff is knowledgeable about the menu. If they ever have a doubt if something is vegan or not, they have no qualms about checking with the kitchen and don't make you feel like it was an imposition to ask. When your meal is served, they describe what you are about to enjoy in a way you are grateful for. It is like being given a map to an amazing land and you are encouraged to enjoy the journey at your own pace. Wine pairings are not in print with menu selections but the wait staff can give suggestions if asked. Better yet, talk to the staff at the Seven Mountain Wine Cellars wine bar and get a few tastings. They are experts in all of the wines as well as knowledgeable of the current food menu and will be eager to make suggestions for pairings. There are also non-alcoholic beverage choices or bring your own beer/cocktails (no outside wine). The interior of the Revival Kitchen is welcoming and its location on Main Street in Reedsville is crucial. It is the lovely young plant that is lucky enough to get a toehold in the sunlight that opened up when the Black Horse Tavern burned down in 2011. How Main Street Reedsville is changing is like polishing off a tarnished kettle you had forgotten about. It is just as charming as it was on the shelf but remembering it useful for making a hot cup of tea is a mindful reconnecting of what is right in front of you. read more

Great food, a little gem that doesn't feel like it belongs in the area, would do well in a much bigger city. We came in late covered in mud from mountain biking all day and they sat us and fed us without complaining at all. If you're in the area, give them a try! read more

Frankly I'd give it 10 stars and recommend they raise their prices! We are fortunate to have this dining option available. If you are interested in the culinary arts, I can't think of a better example in 717 or 814 area codes to dine. The food is sublime and the waitstaff was great. Go with a few friends and a bottle or so of wine and enjoy the culinary show. read more

5 course meal, each dish is hand crafted using the best of what's fresh & usually local. The atmosphere is homey because it is the chefs home. Don't be concerned with no menu. Every plate is delicious. Go with an open mind & let the food speak for itself. It's a different concept for Mifflin County, but not for contemporary cities with fine restaurants. We are blessed to have them. Leave your preconceptions at home. I guarantee you will be pleased with the combination of flavors that chef Quintin incorporates into every course. read more

This place is one-of-a-kind in Mifflin County. Truly a unique, upscale dining experience, with menu and wine offerings for a true foodie. Every entree and side was cooked perfectly and delicious. Service was also outstanding. But we left with a bad taste in our mouths, because of a ticky-tac charge on our bill. We were charged four dollars for a vegetable substitution. That's fine to do, but the server made no mention of the charge when the order was placed. We thought that was a little shady. Also, this place is not ADA compliant. If you're in a wheelchair, steer clear. read more

We where in town from North Carolina and had to try this place. We where not disappointed at all. The Dumplings where crazy good and even my 13 year old who is super picky cleaned her plate. This will become a regular stop when we are in town. Great job Liz and Q read more

Favorite restaurant. This is not just a great restaurant for a small town, this place would be a success in any locale. Super talented chef. Friendly and attentive staff. Nothing negative to say whatsoever. I love eating out and this little place in Reedsville, PA consistently produces some of the most memorable food I've ever had. More so than places in Pittsburgh, Philly, DC, Baltimore, Phoenix, and anywhere else I've been. Love the use of fresh local ingredients and continually changing menu. (Even though I get sad when some of my favorites disappear.) Thank you for bringing a place like this to central PA!! read more

Best place in central pa. I can't wait for this to be back in our area. Great people with a great mission for amazing food.

Had a amazing dinner here! The menu is full of fresh local ingredients. You can also purchase wine by the bottle or glass from a local vineyard at great price. The setting is awesome only to be out done by the food! The local cheese plate was very well done even outfitted with some very yummy local honey, in addition the Bone and Bread appetizer was one of the best bone marrow dishes I have ever had. I also had the tri-tip steak which was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Finally the chocolate torte was the perfect ending to a wonderful meal! read more

Cute, cozy restaurant w delightful staff that really ensure your dining experience is flawless. They use local fresh ingredients that are beyond reproach. I cannot speak to the dessert menu as I am always too full from such a delicious appetizer and entree to indulge in dessert. At least order coffee and see which mug you get from their mismatched eclectic mug collection! Katie S. read more

Was totally blown away with the presentation, the creativity, the perfect cooking skill and best combo of ingredients at the restaurant. They serve so much more decent food than a three dollar sign restaurant in NYC. The price is awesome too. Looking forward to stop by next time! read more

I feel so lucky to have discovered this place. The experience was great from the moment I made the reservation. "Sorry nothing is available until 8:15 or so, but we'll call you back if anything opens up." Nice. We ordered the deep fried deviled egg out of sheer curiosity and were delighted. A deviled egg with a crisp exterior beside lightly vinegared kale with bits of pork. So good. The oddities and delights go further. Bread and Bone, bone marrow anchored in mashed potatoes with just the right amount of toasted sour dough bread to accompany it. Hints of preserved lemon and bacon-onion jam highlighted the richness of the marrow. A really special dish. The corned pork shank was a hearty and lovely item. And the sirloin steak was tender and cooked just right. The idea of the wine bar inside the restaurant (Seven Mountains Winery, a separate business with a separate tab) worked out beautifully. We got to taste several wines and then select the bottle that we most enjoyed. And the service was terrific. Nicole was fun, answered lots of questions and obviously took a lot of pride in this fresh new place that may make Reedsville more than just another random exit off Highway 322. read more

Overpriced, don't like that you cannot choose what you want on the menu, food subpar ( don't know what all the hype is about) & putting fancy words on a menu that people have to look up to know what they are, doesn't mean better. 60 dollars a person is unreal for this area. My family & I won't be returning to this place. read more
