    Oatmeal.

    Great place for breakfast. Small but the place where everyone knows your name. The food is also delicious. They move fast servicing quickly. I highly recommend the oatmeal.

    The most consistent breakfast place in Danville. Paulino and Lupe always provide amazing service. My drink is rarely empty.

    Egg Eggs Benedict with chicken and country potatoes

    Found this spot and saw they and homemade cinnamon rolls and needed to try them ASAP! Had the steak and eggs for my husband and the egg Benedict's for me and food was amazing, super fast service and the cinnamon rolls were delicious!!! We tried the regular one and saw there was only one pumpkin left so we took it to go! Good portion for food, customer service 5/5. We left very happy :). Will come back again for Aaron's cinnamon rolls!!

    Hot cocoa

    We have passed this restaurant several times, and today was the first time we walked in. I'm so glad that we did! We were seated in a booth at one end of the restaurant. It was clean, and we noticed that they cleaned the tables with cleaners and disposable wipes which is great because it doesn't spread the germs around. They noticed that we had a little toddler with us, and they offered him a car to play with and a coloring packet with crayons which totally made his day. He was so happy throughout the meal and did not fuss or fight with us the entire time. First, we ordered our drinks. The hot cocoa was super adorable with a mountain of whipped cream, rainbow sprinkles and an edible straw made out of Pirouline Rolled Wafers in the flavor of Chocolate Hazelnut. My stepdaughter loved this! My daughter ordered a rather large cranberry juice which was good. I ordered a mimosa, and not only was it large, it was strong! We also ordered a vanilla oat milk latte which we will order with a shot of espresso next time as we are a high octane type of family. For entrees, I ordered French toast which I have no photos of because my son grabbed one off of my plate right away. I loved how the the large scoop of butter was soft and melts in the middle of the French toast halves. I was able to quickly spread bits of butter on each slice, while dipping each slice of toast in my syrup - this was decadent! My daughter ordered the corned beef hash with scrambled eggs and sourdough. She was kind enough to let me eat some and she didn't notice that I took some away from her so she was eating it slowly. She found out that I ate some then she quickly finished the rest of her plate! My stepdaughter loved her Mickey Mouse pancakes with a side MOUNTAIN of whipped cream with rainbow sprinkles and a Pirouline Rolled Wafer! My partner wasn't in love with the Diablo sandwich but I didn't taste it. Presentation was fantastic for everything! Customer service was amazing! Everyone was so friendly and nice! I am in love with Valley Medlyn's. The kids agreed that this is our new favorite brunch spot!

    California Omelette
    Emmeline W.

    This is an OG in downtown Danville. Vally Medlyn's is your classic American brunch nook, from its checkered plates down to its free coffee refills. I visited with a few friends and immediately understood why it has appealed to the average Danville resident for almost 100 years LOL Being such a tiny spot, the space fills quickly and service gets bogged down. The three of us probably waited 30+ minutes for 3 dishes, and nobody refilled water in the meantime. CALIFORNIA OMELETTE: Comes with your choice of potatoes and toast. Hash browns were bland but crisped well. Omelette was about standard, also one-note but cooked fine. You have to LOVE American food to really love this place. Like, the good ol' days American food. Like... Basic, mild palate American food. It is what it is.

    Still, a great breakfast place! They will always try to get your order exactly the way you want. Regarding the bad review of the "Latina" waitress...really?? Have you ever waited tables on a busy day when it's hot? She's amazing, always hustling. In fact, the reason we come weekly is because of all of staff. Well done guys

    Cinnamon rolls

    I hate to even leave a review because I don't want this place to get any busier! Great service ! Great food! We come here once a week and I finally tried the cinnamon roll and it's to die for! Loved them so much I ordered some for a work party! Everyone raved about them! Every meal we have had from here is amazing! And the servers are friendly and great!

The menu is extensive enough for most tastes, and we did order a variety of foods to test that theory! The ones we ordered and have photos for include: Pear Quesadilla (Pears, brie cheese, flour tortilla, pear chutney); Calamari Fritti; New York White Cheddar Fondue; Bishop Ranch salad (Baby greens, pear, candied walnuts, blue cheese, balsamic vinaigrette); and for dessert: Warm Pear Tart (Puff pastry, vanilla ice cream, caramel), and a Seasonal Bread Pudding. The food came quickly and hot from the kitchen - except the salad and desserts! The food was very tasty, and the pear quesadilla and fondue were favorites for the uniqueness and the taste. The fondue had sliced pears along with the bread, a great change in the usual fondue take. The salad was also liked, fresh and a good variety of tastes and textures. They subbed the dressing for ranch. The desertas were also a hit, being shared. The warm pear tart was best liked, and very sweet and traditional in taste, but the bread pudding was also a close second. The pear tart was new to us, though. The service was great, and Cesar R. took good care of us. Overall, a great time! Can't wait for another excuse to be in the area for dinner.

What started as simple random dinners turned into my and my husband's standing Friday night tradition at the bar with Z - and that's entirely because of the people at Revel. First things first, the food is consistently delicious. The service is unmatched. But what makes this place extraordinary is that the service doesn't stay transactional. It turns into something much more personal. It turns into family. The team has taken the time to get to know us and more importantly, they've shown genuine love and care toward our daughters. From the moment you're greeted by Lauren or Coco, you know you're in for a great experience. They are warm, welcoming, and effortlessly kind. Sidney and Daniel are truly special. They are incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and genuine in a way that cannot be taught. Our daughters, especially our youngest, absolutely adore them and ask for them by name. That kind of connection speaks volumes. And then there's Z. Our Friday nights at the Revel bar simply would not be the same without him. Z IS THE reason this became our tradition. What started as great service turned into a friendship, and now feels like family. Z has an incredibly kind heart. He is attentive, intuitive, and deeply cares about the people he serves. He notices everything, looks out for his patrons, and goes out of his way to make everyone feel safe, seen, and valued. We truly cannot say enough about him. He, too, has gotten to know our girls and makes them feel special on days we have dinner as a family. Z: you are one of a kind!!! While this review highlights a few individuals, the entire team deserves recognition. Dylan, David (our favorite lunch bartender), Giovani, Kyle, Michael (Mikey), and Kevin all contribute to making Revel such a special place.
