Crab Cake
Sarah K.

Revival on Lincoln was a welcomed surprise! Bellevue isn't an area that we frequent often, but this hidden gem is worth the trip! We visited Revival for Pittsburgh Restaurant Week, and it couldn't have been a been a better experience! I love history of the old house where the Restaurant is housed. From the old staircase to the beautifully decorated bathroom, you feel transported to another Era! We sat near the balcony and old fireplace that would have been the original owners' bedroom. It was quaint and had a great view of the rest of the Room. We got a 3 course meal, and the food from beginning to end was excellent. But the star of the show was the CRAB CAKE! The chef is from Maryland, and this crab cake tasted exactly like one that I had at the Rusty Scupper in Maryland's Baltimore Harbor. It was the BEST crabcake I've ever had! Here's what else we had: [Crab Cake]: Filled with jumbo lump crab and perfectly seasoned. Even the potatoes were flavorful without a sauce or much seasoning. [Charcuterie Board]: This charcuterie board was perfectly picked. There were both hard and soft cheeses, and the jams and sauces meshed well. The portion size was great for an appetizer! [Tiramisu]: I'm not a coffee person, but I wanted to give it a try! It did not have an overwhelming coffee taste, but it was definitely there to let you know it's a classic tiramisu. I would love to try their regular menu, and I'm already planning to go back for their afternoon tea! You won't be disappointed traveling to this restaurant!

I had a special diet meal.

I was highly impressed with this establishment. I was here for a small reception. Wait and Serve Staff were clean, neat, professional and friendly. I am on a special diet, so the chef made me a special meal. I cannot say enough good things about the food. I can honestly say that I had the best chicken I have ever had. Fresh Green Beans. Buttered Mashed Potatoes. Appetizers/Hors-d'oeuvres were Excellent.

Mediterranean mix w/ Beets & Goat Cheese
Stacey B.

We got reservations for Valentine's Day featuring a select list of options in three courses. The prices were pretty high for the dinner but probably pretty average for Valentine's day menus. We started with two cocktails - a Revival Manhattan that I really enjoyed and a Vodka Sidecar that my better half really liked. We selected a $75 Surf and Turf/Filet and a $70 Filet Mignon for the entrees along with a Mediterranean Lettuce blend and Beet salad that was very tasty. The meat was cooked perfectly medium rare and the sides of Bok Choy, Green Beans, and Panko Crusted potatoes were prepared nicely. The desserts were very good - Strawberry shortcake and Apple Cobbler with ice cream. The rooms are very nicely done although a little bit crowded. We had a very large party seated at a round table next to us that turned into sort of a train wreck as the night wore on. They literally had our server in tears. Granted, on this particular night, their kitchen and service teams were not timing things very well but the real issue seemed to stem from the bar. The drinks were super slow to arrive and the natives were restless. Things got so bad at one point that the waitress offered us free glasses of wine to make up for the delays and the noisy unhappy diners next to us. I have to imagine this situation was probably an anomaly but nonetheless gave us pause. We might try it again but at that price point, there's a lot of other options.

Curried Tomato Bisque

This place is a little out of the way for us, but we thought we would check it out for Restaurant Week. Revival, a restored mansion from the 1900's, has so much character and charm. We were seated on the second floor at a cozy table for two right near the fireplace. There were plenty of options to choose from their 3-course PRW menu. The crab cake was amazing!! All crab, no filler, and well-portioned. Service was a little slow - we would have liked to have ordered a second round of drinks, but our waitress was handling most of the tables on the second floor so we didn't get a chance to do so. I also didn't like the fact that they automatically included 20% gratuity on our check. Seems a little sneaky - and if you aren't paying attention (or had a couple drinks), it would be easy to leave additional tip on top of the included gratuity. Parking is a little difficult, too. We had to drive around for a little to avoid parking in the nearby permit parking only areas. All in all it was a great meal, but I don't know if I would go out of my way for this place.

Caesar salad
Cesca D.

A group of 4 of us decided to try this restaurant tonight. We had a reservation and were seated immediately upon entry. Our waitress was excellent, very knowledgeable about the history of the restaurant as well as the menu which changes weekly per the waitress and attentive. Now for the food; the menu was a little confusing however the waitress explained it well. We each got something from the starter course which were mostly individualized. Caesar salad was kind of basic, good though. Balsamic glazed mushrooms were delicious. Appetizer plate was pretty good. Wedding soup looked small however was full of the good stuff and very flavorful. The second course: the couple we were with both hit the special which was the surf and turf which included a crab cake each, strip steak, vegetable sides. They both loved their meal. My husband had the chicken Romano and felt it was perfectly cooked and I had the salmon over Angel hair pasta; a bit lacking in flavor but cooked well. We passed on the third dessert course as we were quite full! All in all, aside from trying to find street parking; it was an enjoyable experience and we will return.

Beet and Walnut salad
Carrie N.

I must go against the general opinion of 5-star experience and land on a less than favorable rating of 2.5. I cannot give a 2.5, so I must round down to 2 and here is why. I will start with the good. Reservations were easy to make through their website. The venue is cool. The building is a (restored) 1900's mansion. It is impressive. The architectural details are beautiful. The space is somehow both cozy and roomy. You feel like you stepped back in time. We were seated shortly after walking in at a small table in the same area the hostess stand. Our server was polite and knowledgeable. I ordered a drink, the Revival Manhattan-$13.00. The drink was good and the price in line for the upscale environment. Next, I ordered a beet and walnut salad-$10.00. Ten dollars seems to be a bargain for a salad in a fine dinning atmosphere, but honestly it fell flat. It mostly consisted of walnuts with two balls of cheese and some slightly too toothsome beets over some boxed spring mix. The salad was also incredibly small. Spread out over a long skinny plate it gave the allusion of more food but what was equivalent to about 5 bites. I was really hoping my entrée would hit it out of the park, though the description of it was quite pedestrian. I ordered the vegetarian bowl. It had a tomato broth base, cubed sweet potatoes, chickpeas, wilted spinach, herbs with a larger (AKA not cubed like the rest of the ingredients) stalk of broccolini lay dead center. What my eyes could only describe to one without a picture is reminiscent of canned vegetable soup. Disappointing is being nice about it. I can't remember the exact price, but I believe it was $22.00. Pretty expensive soup for what was presented. I could not finish the soup and asked to take the remaining soup home. The server collected the leftovers to take to the kitchen and package up, and while doing so asked if we were there for any special occasion. It was our 10th wedding anniversary. He congratulated us and offered a dessert on the house which is classy and appreciated. The dessert was chocolate mousse that he delivered with two spoons. Our meal was not quite what I thought it would be and I left underwhelmed with the experience. Though there were some highlights that night, there were a lot of let downs. The big kicker is when we got home, my husband, who carried my leftovers to the car, picked up the bag that the leftover soup was placed in by the staff, and it was all through the bag. The staff put my leftover soup in a paper to-go-box. A soup, in a paper box that has unsealed flaps, you know put together at the restaurant by the staff at time of take-out. Again, soup in a PAPER box. If you do not offer another way to transport a soup, I wish you would have expressed that. Instead, I was left with a plastic bag (holding my saturated paper box) with some soup still in it, most leaking out and then more leaking out of the plastic bag placed over the paper box "holding" the soup. It went directly into the trash and left a mess to clean up after. I am still stunned that someone did that, it doesn't show much awareness or care for the customer.

The Little House, private room for events

If you're looking for a romantic date night or an event to host, Revival is the place! I hosted my birthday party here recently, and the owner's wife was extremely accommodating with the entire process. I could not have asked for a smoother experience. From the moment you walk in to leaving Revival, I felt welcomed like family. I heard great things about the food from friends and the drinks were wonderful, too. I loved our server as she so graciously gave us complimentary limoncello drinks to end our evening. Definitely will be coming back!!! Thank you, Revival for making my 24th birthday so special!

Crab cake, mashed potato, corn relish
Julie M.

Went to dinner for restaurant week. We sat inside- they had a piano player, who was amazing, and the atmosphere is cozy. Our waitress was attentive and great. I ordered the gumbo, the crab cake and chocolate mouse. My friend ordered the sliced tenderloin of pork tonnato, crab cake, and New York cheesecake. My gumbo was amazing and I tried a bite of the pork tonnato- the mix of pork and tuna sauce were a great mix. The crabcake was all crab and delicious- no filler. We got 1 crabcake- which was really big. During regular weeks- you get 2 crab cakes. I was not big on the corn relish- but it was delish, just not my favorite veggie with the crab. The mashed potatos and roasted potatos. It was also the best chocolate mouse I ever had.

WOW! I have never even heard of this restaurant until about a week ago even with it being 15 minutes away from where I live. I had the privilege to eat here last night for Restaurant Week and I absolutely loved it. I am unsure if there is a parking lot, but we parked on the street about thirty second away. The walk was simple. When we walked into the restaurant, we were very politely greeted by a staff member. She knew exactly who I was because of the restaurant week reservation being for last night, and they are normally closed on Wednesdays. We were taken right to our table and our server was over within a couple minutes with cold water. Our waitresses name was Katrina, and she was absolutely phenomenal. She was very knowledgeable and always made sure we had exactly what we may have needed. If possible, I recommend requesting her as your waitress for when you try out Revival. For our first course, we ordered the Sliced Tenderloin of Pork Tonnato. It was very tender and flavorful. We also ordered the Revival Gumbo. This was my first time trying gumbo, and it was great. I now have high standards. For our second course, we ordered the Shrimp Americana and Revival Chesapeake Style Crab Cake. Each dish was amazing. I absolutely loved the crab cake. The pieces of crab were huge and the rice and spinach complimented it perfectly. For our third course we ordered the NY Style Cheesecake and Chocolate Mousse. The cheesecake was tasty, but I love chocolate and the mousse was to die for. The restaurant and bathroom were both extremely clean and the ambiance was very calming. I will absolutely be back to try their other dishes!

This Illy Philly decided to try a new dining experience called Pitch Black: Dining in the Dark, and it was truly a unique and really insightful experience on utilizing your senses to really experience food on another level. The event was held at Revival on Lincoln, and the restaurant was really nice. Located in what appeared to be a historic home(?), this venue was set up nicely. Even though it's a restaurant, they managed to preserve the home and all of the original characteristics of the home. When we entered we were greeted with smiles and taken to our table. The waitstaff was attentive and the service was good. When the event started we were given an explanation on our senses and given the challenge of utilizing them when one has been taken away. The food was delicous, and it really was true that when one sense is disabled your other senses are heightened. We were able to taste the spices and seasonings in the food, and the facilitators really challenged us and made it fun with their questions. I chose the vegetarian option which consisted of A portobello mushroom, a coconut milk, and curry cauliflower rice, squash, potatoes(?), and string beans. It was delicous!!!! Dessert was some kind of variation on Bananas Foster, but there wasn't ice cream, and it tasted like breadfruit was in the dessert. Also, really good. We had a really nice evening, we were able to experience something new, and I will definitely return to experience a regular dinner here. There is plenty of off street parking and it appears to be a main street in Bellevue with other stores, restaurants and bars.

If you're looking for a great weekend date night spot, Revival is a winner! We're so happy to have this lovely restaurant so close to home. It's absolutely beautiful & I love it even more as the weather gets cold. Its deep colors & decor feel so cozy. This time we just stopped in for cocktails (when you walk in the bar is all the way in the back left) & it was the perfect mini-date. The whiskey sour was wonderful. Would highly recommend their crab cakes if you join them for dinner! I've also had delicious salmon here. They offer some fun dinners & events like wine dinner, Thanksgiving dinner for those who don't want to cook, & afternoon teas. We hope to check out a special event soon!

The menu
David J.

We had an excellent dinner tonight at Revival. The menu is pretty short, with a couple salads and 5 or 6 entrees. Since we're both on restricted diets we requested and were granted salads with a crab cake added. The food and service were just right. The wine list is also limited but adequate, with pretty decent variety and fair. We'll return soon.

Cocktails on the patio

My daughter treated me to lunch In a private dining treehouse for my birthday this year. What a…read morelovely way to spend an afternoon! Upon entering we saw a "Happy Birthday" sign and were greeted by two lovely servers. A first bite was served while we waited for our cocktails . It was a chunk of very sweet watermelon on a wooden coaster. Next came some delicious bread with a leek butter. My daughter added the 4 shot cocktails to our experience and they were fun! Jell-O shots elevated quite a bit. Our appetizer was chef's choice which was burrata with grilled eggplant, peaches, greens and baguette. All so good! We enjoyed some extra cocktails from the menu, a blackberry mojito and a white Negroni with the appetizer. Then the entrees came along. I got the wild mushroom ravioli and she got the Faroe Islands salmon. This was the only part of the meal you had a choice in and you have to advise them ahead of time what you would like to eat as the main course. The final course was a creme brûlée serves in a 4 ounce mason jar. All in all, excellent quality of food and service with reasonable portions. We did not leave hungry. The screened in dining pod itself was very comfortable. It was a pleasant summer day so we did not need the fan or the heater which was available. They are nestled in the woods and sunshine peeks through the trees for a most serene dining experience. I commented that even if it were raining, you would be comfortable due to the design of the pods. There is a wide overhang so the rain wouldn't bother you coming in through the screens. If you are looking for a unique way to celebrate or just want to feel one with nature, this is an excellent option to consider. I highly recommend trying one out!

Having looked forward to our visit to Treetops Restaurant for many months I found myself totally…read moredisappointed on Sunday evening Sept 14. On the plus side , the treetop room made for an intimate and cozy dining experience . Ambience - 9. Our server was pleasant and efficient without being intrusive in any way - Service - 9. First let me say that I have no issue paying hundreds of dollars for a quality meal that is unusual, creative, innovative, tasty, - one that each course brings WOWs and other high praise. The 4+ course meal didn't come close. The Amuse bouche was good , but nothing special. The appetizer consisted of shrimp ceviche in a lettuce wrap along with a 1 inch wedge of watermelon - tasty , but nothing I haven't experienced elsewhere just as good or better. The salad - a split romaine topped with a slice of watermelon radish ( tasteless) a sprig of fennel, and shaved parmesan cheese . The dressing was home made but tasted like it was straight out of a bottle. Creative ? - Hardly ! For main course ( which must be selected days in advance ) - my wife's salmon was a generous filet on a bed of parmesan risotto ( gummy ). A very small amount of glaze that was not recognizable. I chose the Sous vide pork tenderloin. - A single 4 inch by 3/8 inch medallion with a fruit sauce served over a serving of tasteless smashed potatoes . Side dish for both meals was 3 sliced carrot pieces steamed and again tasteless. My meal arrived barely luke warm and over cooked - I assume it was plated and waited for my wife's salmon to finish. Dessert was crème brulee ! Plain creme brulee. To charge hundreds of dollars for a fine dining experience and then have the chef literally sleep walk through the entire menu and meal is unforgiveable. Our local culinary school provides a better culinary experience and menus at one third the cost of the Treetops .
