Revel - Seattle

Just yes to everything at Revel. My friend Philip shared Revel with me on a recent trip to Seattle. It was my favorite meal while there. The grilled octopus was memorable, but as we were going through the plates, tapas style, the flavor profiles were outstanding. I can't wait to go back.

This place has fabulous cocktails and fusion food. I appreciate that the waitress was able to answer food allergy questions, and the food and cocktails were absolutely delicious. I had the morel paella and a drink that was strawberry and rye, and a passion fruit cocktail. Add daikon kimchee on the side! It was so good!

Had been holding a gift card for years, finally decided to give this place a try. Had heard nothing but good, but we've moved a bit away. Made a 5:15 Friday reservation, we made it a few min later-no problem. We perused the menu and some neighboring plates; our server verified our choices would be hers as well! Everything was great-rice cakes a bit on the salty side, but we didn't leave anything behind. Crispy rice is fun...crispy as the name suggests. Short rib wontons were the all-around winner, but still have a lot of the menu to explore next time!

Had a Mother's Day dinner and quite disappointed with the food. Food was all around very salty and the flavor was just one note.. Crispy rice with eggplants it is a jumble of crispy rice bits, eggplants, seasoning and creme fraiche. Salty and the seasoning was nothing notable Asparagus salad not edible without a bowl of rice with it. Super salty with heavy fish sauce type seasoning. Wilted pea cine with tahini betwtr than the other salad but the pea vines were pretty much raw and not really wilted Crab noodles classic. Curry sauce still tasty Rice bowl with short ribs the meat was cooked perfectly. this modern interpretation of bibimbap was a sensation when the restaurant opened first time. It seems to lack something now in flavor. You need to use a generous amount of gochujang sauce and sesame oil to make this tasty so do not eat as is Black cod with curry sauce creamy moist fish with herbs and curry sauce. Delicious and again you need some rice to go with this dish Joule is a much better sister to this restaurant. Their food had more complex flavor overall

Someone recommended this place and when I first sat down and saw the menu, I was not quite sure if it would be a good dinning experience or this restaurant was for someone who was not familiar with Asian food. The menu was small and even though it was somewhat Korean influenced, it was not an authentic Korean. Is this a Korean place... I wondered, but then quickly realized it was a Korean inspired fusion. We enjoyed fennel Kimuchi, Dungeness crab noodle, lemongrass fed rib eye, pomegranate lemonade. The dessert Chai almond coffee cake was too dense. We especially liked the crab noodle with the creme... The atmosphere was kind of casual, but solid good food. They seem to have very good outdoor seating as well.
