There really isn't a venue in the area with the cozy, intimate atmosphere that serves true craft cocktails and a creative menu of small bites and desserts, so The Revelry is a much-needed addition to Okoboji and Spirit Lake. Jason and Kim put their heart and souls into this business and it shows. Aside from the joy I get in supporting local, it's such a fun experience. Great for a date night, bachelorette stop, girls evening out, after-dinner nightcap, pre-dinner appetizers/drinks, and so much more.

I really love restaurants with Mexican food and also then seafood boils. While I enjoyed that, 2 times out of the 3 the service was NOT GREAT. The first time the Restaurant was not full but it seemed like maybe it was unclear to the servers which table they were in charge of so we were literally skipped a lot. Both sides of us got served. The second time we were asked if we had a reservation and we did not, we were seated in the bar area and literally ignored for at least 20 minutes. Finally one of the other servers from another area walked by and asked if anyone had taken out drink order and was surprised when we said no one has come by at all. There was another server that served both tables on either side of us but wouldn't even look towards us and there were only two of us. The third time, I went with a family and the service was attentive in the back area and fine. The person I went with before won't go again because the service was so bad and we spent a ton of money. I really wanted to like Nena's.

Bergen Bar & Grill is hands down one of the best hole-in-the-wall restaurants I've ever been to!…read more Food: Do yourself a favor and order the filet mignon and wild rice -- and don't forget the side of 3 jumbo shrimp! My family has been coming here for years and we all order the same thing every time we come, and it's always phenomenal! The beef is SOOO tender, it literally melts in your mouth. And don't get me started on the wild rice. It's cooked to perfection and it's so buttery and flavorful. Atmosphere: Bergen Bar & Grill is a smaller restaurant that's first come first serve -- no reservations. You put your name and phone number on a notebook and they call you when your table is ready. Depending on the time you arrive, it can be a longer wait. However, they have a lovely patio where you can wait for your table OR you can hang out in your car. They do serve drinks on the patio which is a nice touch! One other thing to note, they are cash/check only. No credit cards so plan accordingly. Overall, I highly highly recommend Bergen Bar & Grill! You won't be disappointed.

What we discovered was that they have limited weekend Lunch hours (11:30 - 1:30) and a more conventional burgers and sandwiches menu. It also wasn't nearly as crowded as the evening sittings can be. I'll still rate Bergen at 5 because it is a great steak dinner choice. However, their more conventional Lunch might not be worth the journey out here for some folks. We did have a nice time out here. Service was neighborhood friendly and efficient, while Gayle's steak sandwich and my German Patty Melt were very tasty. We both chose Onion Rings as our side, which always taste great going down, but sometimes linger afterwards. Their bar choices continue to improve, while Bergen remains Cash or Check only.

At the Carpenter Bar, the lights are low, there is minimal seating, and it's easy to just slow down, sip on your drink, and enjoy your evening. If you're looking for a Busch light or a vodka Red Bull, this probably isn't your scene, but if you appreciate the finer things and attention to detail with your spirits, definitely try to get a table or a seat at the bar here. I will definitely go back. This Three-Quarter Nelson cocktail is essentially a whiskey sour with a little amaretto softening the spirit and adding such a delicious nutty element to the drink.

The drinks were amazing, the charcuterie board was a hit with all at our table and just the right amount of a snack for the four of us before we ordered the pizza option from next door. Our youngest daughter noted it was the best pizza she's ever had. We also found it pretty delicious. The waitresses deserve a major shout out..I wish I had gotten their names...but....nonmatter which one ended up at our table they were extremely sweet and accommodating and extra kind to our kids. Before heading out- one of the waitresses helped me pick out a few tonics to take home with me and even sent me on my way with a couple of recipes from drinks I really enjoyed while there. They were beyond sweet as they stuffed a few extra mints and a 15 percent off coupon in our bag. Though my husband and I have been here many times and have never had a poor experience, this was by far our favorite time....our kids ages 6 and 9 were super happy and raved about it to their older sister and grandparents for the whole rest of the week-- this says a lot from them, trust me. Thank you for giving us a family friendly experience while still getting to enjoy some adult style (cocktails for husband- mocktails for me) beverages with amazing food. P.s. We ALWAYS love the windows that open to the outside...such a vibe.

I mean, the legit standards done very well, home versions of standards, some great concoctions of their own, the BEST design for your own atmosphere wants too. Booth? They have that. Cool bar? Yep. Hightop to people watch from? Got it. Corner stage area? Sure. Separate intimate room with cool tiki decor? That too. So, you can have cool tiki place (seen a few of them), you can have an on point cocktail game (tasted a few of them), and you might have good service (experienced that too). But all three in one place? Rare. All three as perfect as you can get? Super rare. I would have said only in CA, but, Sioux Falls has it in The Hello Hi. 100%, the best around.

A coworker selected this place for lunch, and honestly, if I'd read the older reviews, I would have suggested we skip it. First visit, I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap. The sauce has this little sweetness along with the usual spicy tang, and I was absolutely loved it. It was good enough that on day three I found myself back in the same booth at lunchtime. Round two, I went with the Reuben. I'm a Reuben person--I order them a lot, and I know when one is just pretending. This one wasn't and I could not have been more pleased. On my last night in town, I came back yet again and tried the taco salad. Because the word salad makes me nervous and I'm mostly a proud "meatatarian," I asked for extra ground beef. They did not hold back. It was a few extra bucks, but worth every penny. Coming from San Diego, the prices here just make me smile. The vibe is exactly what you'd expect from a sports bar in the best way: a good-sized central bar, booths and tables all around, plenty of screens, and zero pretense. Every staff member I dealt with was friendly, on the ball, and made the repeat visits an easy choice. Bottom line: this place is exactly what it says it is--a solid sports grill and bar. If you want cheap and instant, go to a drive thru. If you're in the mood for a martini, wine and a slab of beef, go find the prime rib place in town. If you just want good food, fair prices, and a relaxed sports bar atmosphere, you'll be very happy here. I had several great experiences and I'll be back the next time work sends me to Spencer.
