Revel downtown was a really chill spot. When my friend and I went, it was not super crowded which honestly made the experience more relaxing. We ended up grabbing a couple of appetizers and drinks and just enjoyed the vibe of the place. The atmosphere felt laid back but still trendy enough for a night out. It seems like a good spot to catch up with friends, sit at the bar, and just unwind after a long week. The music and lighting gave it a relaxed lounge feel without being overwhelming. The drinks were good and the apps paired well with them. Service was good overall and we never felt rushed while we were there. Everyone was friendly and attentive which made the experience even better. I could definitely see myself coming back here for another casual night downtown with friends. read more

Our appetizers were truly the star of the show - we had the Brussels and the pretzel bites, 10/10! Our entrees fell a little flat.. I had the steak tips "medium rare" and for a $13 up charge, it wasn't worth it. They were dry, charred and just not appetizing. The ravioli themselves were delicious in a sweet cream sauce. The crème brûlée was good but we were there at kitchen close and you could tell it was rushed, as the sugar was barely toasted. Overall an ok experience, but not sure we'd go back. read more

We loved this place! Party of 5 and we ordered Nashville hot chicken, Crab cakes, Pretzel bites, a chocolate martini and a few other things. It was all fantastic! Service was great too. Very comfortable and casual, but very nice atmosphere. read more

We really appreciated that we were able have normal-volume conversations while eating a delicious meal with (muted) TVs and quiet music overheaded. The Nashville hot chicken sandwich, smash burger, fries, and steak flatbread were all appreciated. The crab cake wasn't life changing, but the roasted Brussels sprouts were pretty good. We parked in the Hilton garage next door and didn't try any alcoholic drinks. read more

After walking by this place dozens of times, I decided to come here for lunch on a Thursday. My lunch was the aglio e olio pasta with grilled chicken. The pasta had nice that nice rich olive-oil flavor with just enough heat to it. (I probably would have used an angel hair or other thinner pasta than the thick spaghetti noodles, but it wasn't bad.) The chicken that came with it was ok, just wish it had had more flavor or seasoning with it. The garlic toast that came with it was very nice. The lady serving (I seated at the bar) that day was pleasant and attentive. Great restaurant and would be happy to come back and try some other items. read more

Excellent hangout for breakfast located right downtown by the Market Square. The interior is big and modern, super clean and cool with high ceilings and big windows for light. Our server was exceptional throughout the meal, and super friendly. One of us ordered the meat frittata and the other french toast. It was all good. read more

I organized a work lunch at Revel for a group of 15. I worked with Abbey and she was absolutely fantastic! Our actual lunch was great! When we arrived, Revel was not busy at all and they had a little section of the restaurant closed off for us to all sit together. It was a mixture of booths and tables which was fine. We started off by ordering a few portions of the crispy brussel sprouts. They have shaved Parmesan, salt, pepper, and a balsamic drizzle. They were absolutely addicting! For my lunch, I ordered the salmon BLT which came with fries. The portion size was perfect for lunch. The only reason I knocked off a star is because they were out of some ingredients that were needed to make some of the dishes our group wanted to order. So they had to order alternate options. Other than that, we had a great experience overall with the restaurant itself, the staff, and the food. read more

Stopped in for a quick dinner after a late night in the office. Great location just off of market square. I had a beer and the short rib quesadilla (which is an app but I had it as my meal). Both were fantastic. Vibe is upscale and modern but the prices are reasonable. Service was quick and friendly. Will definitely add this to my regular drop in rotation. read more

I know this is a new place, so I didn't expect the food to be standout. But, I was actually quite pleasantly surprised. The food really was quite great. Much better, in my opinion, than the restaurant that used to be here (Walnut Grill). I had the fish and chips with ranch and the brownie works for dessert. The fish and chips was really good. The fish was crispy and still moist on the inside. Good amount of breading. A little soggy in a few spots but could have been delivery. Seasoning was okay. It also came with fries, which were a generous portion and good in their own right, and coleslaw which was just okay (not too flavorful and a tiny portion). But the fish n chips itself was a great portion. Ranch was also good. The brownie works dessert was a nice way to end the meal. Also a great portion, very chocolatey throughout with some nice slabs of chocolate. Wish there was a little more whipped cream to balance it. All in all, really quite impressed with this place. Excited to see how they do in the future! read more

I've enjoyed Revel when dining in, but my takeout and delivery experiences have been inconsistent. On two separate orders, the portion sizes seemed smaller than expected compared to dining in. The mac and cheese container was not filled much, and on another order the Alfredo was very dry and needed extra sauce. I hope takeout orders can be made more consistent with the dine-in experience. read more

The worst meal I've had in Pittsburgh! The service was non-existent. The food all tasted like it was reheated in a microwave. How can everything be terrible?! Ask revel they will tell you how to do it. read more

Extremely slow service. 9 AM breakfast, one other table, waiting an hour and ended up leaving.

New menu for dinner is The Cobb salad was great!!! With a variety of cocktails and a clean environment how can you go wrong? Definitely has an entertaining staff! read more

Our go-to big group brunch spot strikes again! We love bringing friends to Revel when they visit because they can always accommodate a big group & serve great food at really affordable prices. This visit, I decided to try their breakfast sandwich. While it doesn't sound like anything fancy, it was delicious! The egg was runny, the Gruyère was melty, and the peppercorn aioli was really flavorful. I also am a huge fan of breakfast potatoes, and these were top notch. In addition to food, the mimosa carafes are a great deal for a big group & the servers are on top of keeping them filled. The location right off Market Square makes it a great spot to start your day & then explore the area. Definitely check it out! Food: A- Drinks: A- Service: A- Ambiance: B+ read more

I came here for a friend's birthday brunch on Sunday afternoon at 1pm. My friend had made reservations beforehand for 10 people. I got there a few minutes before 1pm and waited for several minutes for someone to come to the host stand. It took so long that I finally went into the restaurant and inquired about the host and was told that they would be out in a few minutes. When the host finally appeared, they told us that they had to go prepare our table so we waited a few more minutes. We finally were seated and the rest of the party trickled in. It took quite some time to take our food orders and I had to prompt the staff to do so. It also took quite some time for the food to come out and for the staff to come with our checks and that was with several members of the party inquiring about it. Thankfully they had a QR code on the receipt so I could pay my bill online immediately. Other members of the party opted to pay with their physical cards which they later regretted because it took so long to get them back. I got there a few minutes before 1pm and didn't leave until a couple of minutes past 3pm. Most of the party ordered one dish and one drink so I was confused why it took so long for everything. I will also note that the restaurant was never packed and towards the end of our visit the only other people there were two other small parties in the fairly large space. The food itself seemed to be fine overall. I got the brisket Benedict with breakfast potatoes. The breakfast potatoes were very good with good flavor. The brisket was bland and I couldn't finish it even though I hate wasting food. I tried my friend's chicken from her chicken and waffles and the chicken was juicy with a crispy outside. The space itself is fairly large and lends itself to large parties. The restaurant is also located steps away from Market Square. Another positive is that they were able to do separate checks for our party which was very convenient. Overall, while the staff was friendly enough, it took longer than it should have for our visit so I wouldn't go if you have to be somewhere else on time. read more

Came here for just a drink and an app. They have a decent size bar, I wish it was a tad bigger as I could imagine it fills up at night. The bartenders were all nice and attentive. They have a nice happy hour menu that even includes weekends which is hard to find! The Brussel sprouts were plentiful and had all the right flavors! During October they have a cocktail of the day and it's all pumpkin themed. I want to come back to try more! I ate here years ago and remember it being good so I will have to come back for dinner soon! read more

I found this restaurant on Instagram and thought It would be amazing. It was subpar and the food was not that great. The atmosphere and service were amazing. They said on website that they had valet parking, but they do not. Would not recommend the macaroni and cheese or burger. The ravioli was good, but just looks bland. We also had some other food items that are not pictured, but they also were disappointing. read more

I came here with a group of friends after running the Great Race! They were super accommodating to our big group of 10! I was worried about finding a brunch place with vegetarian options besides waffles or pancakes, and this place had a good amount of veggie/vegan options! The $5 mimosas are such a great deal too! read more

Last time we were here, I gave this location 3 stars because the service and food quality was ....eh. I'm updating it to 1 star after this visit. $3 for a Club Soda!!! Highway robbery! First of all, in my 38 years, I have never been charged for a club soda. It's water with maybe 0.15 cencts worth of carbonation. Also have been in the service industry for 20 years, I have never encountered an employer that charged for soda water/club soda out of the gun. My partner paid and just happened to see the receipt once home so I called and they confirmed this and apologized for the miscommunication. Ma'am... there was no communication at all. It was theft. A sneak attack. read more

My only disappointment comes from the small menu. This wouldn't be a good place to go for picky people or those who like a little more variety. But overall it was a positive experience because: 1) They told us it would be a 30 minute wait for 7 people for Sunday brunch- which was already shorter than we expected. It was actually a wait time of 15 minutes or less. 2) Kevin is an amazing server. I can't say enough how much his positive attitude made our experience enjoyable. He was on point with everything including checking for more info when asked "are the grits 'real' grits" lol 3) Everyone liked their food. The bacon was cooked perfectly, without even one burnt or underdone piece. The Belgian waffles came with a few different toppings yet it all blended well. I would ask for more caramel because it's subtle on the bottom & mostly sticks to the plate. read more

It's severely understaffed! Severely!! There in a Sunday before a Steeler game... I feel super bad for the staff. A few servers and like 2 people making food. They work hard, but need to hire more staff. I'm guessing it's a private equity type place so maximizing profits. But it's expensive and the menu is sparse. Like very sparse. Plus most of the sparse menu is simple foot to make. I'm guessing this place won't last long unless they make some changes By the way, I can't stand when restaurants put condiments on things they don't have listed. They put mayo on my sandwich (which by the way, I had to get to go because it took an hour and a half to get it to our table... not joking). So... I basically threw the sandwich away after a couple bites. Just a totally crap experience from our weekend in Pittsburgh. Plus side... we had a great weekend touring CMU and Pitt and my daughter auditioning. read more

Revel is located next to the Hilton Garden Inn. It is actually the hotel's restaurant, but it certainly isn't a typical hotel restaurant. My son and I were staying at the Hilton over the weekend and decided to try Revel for breakfast. As you can see from the pictures, the breakfast was amazing! I had the brisket and eggs and my son had the chorizo frittata. The brisket and eggs were perfect and were served over a bed of sautéd zucchini strips. The potatoes were a mixture of diced sweet, red, and purple potatoes. My son's frittata was excellent as well. The tiny red sweet peppers were quite a treat. The chef (yes, not a cook, a real chef) even came over to ask us for feedback. of course we told him it was an amazing breakfast. At $15 each, for an exquisite hotel breakfast, this was very reasonable. read more

service was very slow, our waiter disappeared multiple times. Watched one family get up and leave because no one was helping them. At the end of the meal, I felt something stuck in my throat; looked like a piece of plastic cooked into my crab cake read more

Excellent breakfast. Highly recommend the breakfast sandwich. Service was great and the place is very comfortable.

The reason why this is 4 stars and it 5 was the slow service and long wait times for our drinks and food to be brought out, in addition, we had a hard time making a reservation for 4 because they said they would be "super busy" but the restaurant was fairly empty the entire time we were there aside from maybe 2-3 other tables. It's a more upscale but casual atmosphere that had phenomenal brunch drinks. The food was a big hit as well. At the table we had chicken and waffles (which I wish had more hot honey), vegan bowl, and shrimp and grits. Everyone loved their food overall. They had a fair selection and prices were a bit on the higher side but I'd return again. read more

Great atmosphere. Great service. Different food. And drinks. My server Brie really knew the menu and provided Great recommendations.

We walked in and sat at the bar. When we sat down the bartender put menus down and we noticed that they only had food items and we just wanted to have a drink before heading home. He didn't really check back with us even though we stacked the menus to make it look like we were ready. We never got to see a drink menu so we just ordered two beers. It was a chill atmosphere because the steeler game just ended and it looked like lots of fans coming from the game were coming in. It was not really busy for a saturday night. We expected there to be a larger crowd. read more

I went for lunch recently with a group of colleagues before the holidays. The service was great, and everyone really enjoyed their meals. I had the salmon BLT, and it was really good. The salmon was huge and cooked perfectly. I do think it could have used more tomato and aioli, but I'd definitely order it again. My side salad was basic but good, and I liked the shallot vinaigrette. It wasn't very busy right at noon but picked up a bit later on. They didn't rush us out, which was nice since we work in two different locations and don't all get together often. read more

Jimmy was a great server , attentive, polite nice guy. The food was delicious, nice portion size. The seafood was cooked perfectly- enjoyed the scallops shrimp and blackened salmon, all very tasty. It was busy with a concert in town and a conference nearby but they kept up nicely, everything was running smoothly and the staff seemed to work well together. read more

We had a group dinner here tonight and it was a great experience. The atmosphere was very nice, but the food snd service were outstanding. I highly recommend the crispy brussel sprouts, they were light and fantastic. I had the pork chop and it was excellent. Everything was very well plated, not rushed at all despite the large volume of orders. The service was truly outstanding. We were a large party and the staff handled it effortlessly. Everyone was professional, friendly and efficient. Our server was very warm and everyone was very courteous. It was easy to see why, the manager was running food during the meal and helping bus tables as we left. I highly recommend Revel if you are in Pittsburgh and I will definitely be back next time I am in town. read more

An American restaurant located in Hilton Garden Inn Pittsburgh Downtown. Since we were staying in the hotel and had dining credit with Hilton Honors, we decided to have a late lunch here. ----- Margarita Flat-Bread: wheat flatbread, buratta, tomato, basil, lemon oil ($14). A simple yet satisfactory shareable plate. The bread was fluffy and the toppings gave a light flavor of sweetness and saltiness. ----- Forbes Burger: brisket, cheese curds, fried onion, Miller's mustard on brioche with beer cheese dip ($20). Beef patty was adequately of medium temperature, although the bacon was dry from being overcooked. Hardly any sauce was underneath the bun and was all in the center rather than spread evenly. By default the burger comes with chips and can upgrade to fries for $1. Fries were fresh and not overdone. ----- We arrived close to the end of lunch service, but by the time the server came it was past 3 PM, switching to the dinner menu. Abundant seats available for a late weekday afternoon. read more

Was in Pittsburg for a wedding, went to Revel on Sunday, post wedding with family. It took 10 minutes for the waiter to bring us coffee. By the way, we were the 2nd table to be seated at 8:30 Sunday morning, so the place wasn't busy yet. 15 minutes later, the waiter brought the water we requested. As he began to walk away, I told him we were ready to order. We ordered the Brisket Benedict, the Nova Lox on a bagel, and an Avocado toast with a poached egg on the side. It took another 20 minutes for the food to be served. The poached eggs with the Benedict, and the poached egg I ordered with my avocado toast, were all hard cooked. No coffee refills were offered until I asked again. No spoons or creamer for the coffee. The server did bring cream over when I asked. The food was very flavorful and the portions were generous - but the over cooked eggs were a real spoiler when you like poached eggs. The server was very polite, but poorly trained - Managment owns that! read more

We came for my sisters birthday and had a good time. The service was kind of slow but I won't fault them for that. There was live music on Friday and they were really good!! I also really appreciated that they noted which items were vegan or could be prepared vegan right on the menu. My favorite thing that we got was definitely the spread appetizer! They were all delicious. read more
