I have had many lovely meals at Revival, but I do wish that something could be done to reduct the noise level, which defies conversation.

Nice spot! It was our first time in, we've been meaning to go for ages. Initially, the arrival experience was definitely lacking, but at the table service was lovely and attentive. The menu is smaller, and more California Italian than traditional Italian, but everything we ordered was tasty, and the portions are very generous. The noise level was much louder than expected - it's not a great choice if you're looking to enjoy a quieter conversation - but it seems great for younger families or other groups or 3 or more.

The venue was steps away from our hotel room. We were seated immediately upon arrival. Food was served hot, fresh and delicious. Service was excellent.
