From there, enter through the hotel lobby, and the restaurant is located straight ahead. When you are ready to leave, use the call button to contact the front desk, and they will raise the parking arm. I visited on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. The restaurant was completely empty when I arrived, making for a quiet and relaxed atmosphere. Based on our server's recommendation, I ordered the shrimp bombs for the table and the fried catfish plate for my main course. Both dishes were good and met my expectations. Our server was also very friendly and attentive throughout the meal. She mentioned that the restaurant will be introducing a brunch menu next month. Overall, I had a pleasant experience at Co/Op. The food was enjoyable and met my expectations, the service was friendly, and the clean, quiet atmosphere was particularly well suited to a Sunday afternoon lunch. I would return to try the brunch menu once it is available.

Highly recommended, tart with a little sweetness and kick. For apps I went with the crawfish and shrimp cake and smoked chicken wings. The crawfish and shrimp cakes are a great idea. The fry was great on the cake. The flavor was a little lost. I thought initially it was the tartar that overpowered the cake and that is partially true. I did try a bite without the tartar and it was still a tad on the bland side. The wings had a great fry and smoke flavor as well. They were a bit overcooked and dry. The Alabama sauce was real good and added needed moisture to the wings. The breading appeared to be fairly heavy, ie the bread to meat ratio was on the bread side. The service was good and very fast, there were just some execution challenges for the food. The menu is real interesting and I'm willing to try some of the other offerings on another visit.

Cajun Roux brings a little taste of New Orleans to Huntsville. It's been nice to have a taste of…read morecreole cooking to go with all the southern cooking that is so prevalent here in Huntsville. I had the opportunity to try a couple of dishes there and have never been disappointed. From the fried butterfly shrimp to the po' boy sandwiches, each bite was damn near perfect and tasted like some of the places in New Orleans. The roux of the gumbo was a bit off and it was a bit too starchy for me vs the smooth, silky roux and sauces of New Orleans but it has been worthy of the addition to the restaurant scene in Huntsville and your money. I also can vouch for the fried catfish here, it's been a bit of a southern twist from New Orleans with extra seasoning to go with the perfect corn-breading that they do in the place. The bar whether you are inside of out is a great addition to the dark wood decor you see in New Orleans on Bourbon Street. It boasts live music most evenings, which adds to the vibe of the bar. I love the addition to the live music and restaurant scene and I've been there multiple times and will return to eat and drink there sooner rather than later.

We tried this place out on Friday at 3:30pm. When we arrived we walked through a set of doors and…read morestood there for a few minutes. We then noticed the hostess was on the other side of the restaurant. So we walked over there and were seated immediately. We ordered an appetizer the Armadillo Eggs. They came out quick but had no seasoning and not much flavor to them. They also are not Armadillo Eggs, it's one eggs cut into 5 skinny strips. They also don't come with any type of sauce to dip it in such as ranch, boudin sauce, or even a signature sauce. For $15 this was highly disappointing. We ordered the smoked Cajun beef rib. There was a lot of meat on the bone. Again it had no seasoning and didn't have a hint of smoke to it. It was more like a braised beef rib. Not much flavor to it at all. It also came out cold. Some parts were maybe room temperature but the majority of the rib was cold. Our waitress was even surprised how fast it came out because it normally takes a lot longer to heat up. I got a cup of chicken and sausage gumbo instead of the two sides the rib came with. The rice was undercooked and crunchy. Not much flavor to it but they do have a few hot sauces on the table to use. We also ordered the Cajun red snapper, mashed potatoes, and Brussels sprouts with bacon. The red snapper was good and full of flavor. The mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts lacked flavor and anytime of seasonings. Our waitress was great. She came over to the table fast, made sure our drinks stayed full and was disappointed in the food. She told the manager about the rib being could and they did give me a discount since the owners don't let them remove items completely. The place is well decorated with a bunch of TVs. They have large windows/roll up doors but nothing to prevent flys. We were swatting flys away from our food almost the entire time we were there. At 4pm the place gets really dark. Seemed kind of early... Overall for $120 bill for an appetizer, 2 entrees, and two fountain drinks I will go elsewhere.

Everything was fine. It all could have used more spice and tad more seasoning. Everything was fine and decent place to stop by for drinks and a bite.

Let me preface this review by saying I believe a patron should never have to ask for a drink or…read moremenu when sitting at the bar. The staff should ask you as quickly as possible after you sit. I say this knowing they can be busy getting drinks for the whole restaurant. It probably goes without saying I had to ask. I'm sure if I didn't ask I would still be sitting at the bar waiting. Three staff and I heard all kinds of language and they were focused on their personal issues, not their patrons. They have a great bourbon selection. The bar is a beautiful off-white marble top and feels cool to the touch. Great vibe among all the people sitting in the bar. There are nice, big windows in the bar and comfortable seating. I ordered the Mahi Mahi and it did not disappoint. A light crust, pan fried to perfection. The chopped vegetable medley was the perfect pairing. Very good. Temperature was perfect and it arrived promptly. No waiting. Desert was a peach cake with ice cream. The young lady at the bar recommended it over the strawberry mason jar. I'll have to come back and try the other. The food was great. The drink was great. The ambience was great. If the bar staff was up to par, it was a 5-star experience. I know the bar can be hard work, but don't forget your patrons. Ask them if they want another drink and pour it. Drinks are highly profitable.

Well I enjoyed my visit to Revivalist on a Friday night. It was a super busy night downtown,…read morehowever they also had complimentary valet which was a plus. The ambiance was great. Low lit, quiet and moody. There was a rehearsal dinner going on in their event room and it was so nice. But our server Rae was super sweet, very attentive and gave us recommendations as well as another server that was walking around. For the food, I will say that I had some favorites: the hush puppies, Brussels, and the short rib. To me the fried green tomatoes were a bit too thick and just not well seasoned for me. mahi Mahi as well lacked a little seasoning. Fries and aioli were a good side. I am more than willing to come back and try more! I'm interested in their Tuscan Wine dinner coming up for sure. My boyfriend enjoyed his old fashioned which he had never had their version and it was very good. My mocktail was really good as well as my glass of Loosen Bros Riesling. Will be back!

Quick take: food was pretty good, decent prices, great drink, will come back!…read moreCame in around 5pm on Friday 2/27 and only one person at the bar. Nice lady told us to seat ourselves where we want, GM initially waited on us. He was friendly. Wife said he made the margarita and it was great! A little stronger than my wife likes, just under what I like. After a couple sips she loved it! He recommended fried catfish and the ribeye as favorites. We tried both. Ribeye: cooked nicely, not seasoned enough for my taste. I would order and try this again, $26, with two sides. Steak was tender and was a nice cut of ribeye. Salad was solid. Mashed potatoes ok. Could have used a piece of toast I think. Next time a different side from mashed taters. Catfish: GREAT! Light, fluffy, fried perfectly. Hush puppies were good, a little thick though. Fried okra was also great! Cole slaw could be hit or miss for folks.. i thought it was good, wife didn't like. Should have come out in mashed potato sized bowl to eat easier. Some dislikes: 1. Steak not seasoned well. But I'd try it again. 2. Some things missing off of our plates initially (tartar sauce, mashed potatoes.) No big deal but if it was busier I think we may not have seen them for a while. 3. Person bringing single bowl of mashed potatoes holding with one hand, palm down over potatoes. Pretty sure it looked like hand touched top of potatoes. 4. Not sure if this is a smoking establishment but a guy at the bar lit a cigar. But he must've been asked to take it outside because he put it out. Glad he did because we had a baby. Not sure why he thought he could smoke it in there if he hadn't before. Overall, good visit and I look forward to trying more things and eating that catfish again.

First visit and it will not be the last!…read more After looking at reviews and photos I knew I was ordering the salmon with cabbage and rice. Salmon was seasoned perfectly, had a nice crispy char on the outside while the fish was moist and tender. Only thing that could have made it better was another piece! The cabbage was soft and flavorful, but not overly seasoned, nice comfort cooking style. The rice was perfectly cooked, had hints of I believe saffron and maybe liquid smoke(?) whatever it was the rice really stood out my only complaint would be there wasn't enough. My wife had the grilled shrimp with sauce and she was very happy, they were cleaned, cooked well, and she really enjoyed the sauce. She had the same two sides and also said a bit more rice would have been nice. For desert we had their deep fried cheese cake, it's almost like a cannoli and cheesecake had a baby that was deep fried. The dough was softer than cannoli but the apple drizzle paired very well with the dessert. We plan to return, but it will be hard to order anything other than that salmon! Great location across, right across the street from Princess Theater.

The service was awesome, the environment was awesome, the beer was cold, the management was welcoming and the food was incredible.
