Revival Social Club - Chicago

This restaurant is closed. we booked a table for her last night. it was a total show; loud about believe and sloouow. I wish we had gone out.

A note: if they change their menu, make sure they change it anywhere. we came here because the menu was appealing to opentable. when we sat down, it was completely changed. the food was decent, but we felt that the value was not there

What a great dinner! I cannot believe how wonderful and eclectic the new menu is! such unique taste combinations to give revival a lasting impression to stand among all other typical Chicago menus.

When I asked if/when the cheese curds had been removed from the menu, my waiter scoffed at me and said they had not been on the menu in over a year. I expressed to him I had eaten here at least 3 times in the last year, having cheese curds each time. Again, with attitude, he immediately rebutted well, I have worked here for 3 years.. After taking my order, he clearly told someone in the kitchen about our exchange , and then returned not with an apology, but to inform me that the curds actually HAD been on the menu, but were seasonal. The food was fine, but that encounter was what left the proverbial bad-taste in my mouth.

It started badly when they said they didn’t have our reservation and went downhill from there. When I produced the email with the reservation, suddenly they had our reservation. Our server was super inexperienced and really didn’t know how to handle a table but less a party of 8. They didn’t have enough menus even though the restaurant was only 1/3 full. The first 3 drinks we tried to order they didn’t have. It started to become a joke but it was annoying as the server didn’t even have an explanation. Everything from that point was hard but for the most part everyone enjoyed their food. Running a restaurant is an art this place hasn’t figured that out yet. I can’t imagine going back.
