    We found re:public online looking for a restaurant not far from our hotel. We found parking be an issue but we were able to find a place to park right away. The food was excellent! We started with the Manila clams with a saffron butter broth that was delicious. My wife had the mushroom pasta with a mushroom cream sauce and I had the pork chop with grits and chard. Both were outstanding but my wife thought the sauce was a little sweet. My pork chop was everything I expected thick and juicy, and both dishes came out hot! I’m embarrassed but I don’t remember our server’s name and she told us. She was great, very attentive and very accommodating, she made a fresh pot of coffee for us. Overall it was a great experience and I will go back the next time we’re in the city.

    We planned a large team dinner at Revel with a set menu and it was incredible! The food was plentiful, they bent over backwards to ensure everyone's dietary needs were met (vegetarian, gluten free, no pork - we weren't a simple bunch), and everything was delicious and so plentiful, we were all beyond stuffed. Highly recommended for a large group - outstanding.
