The food is fantastic. Best kept secret in Bham. All the service is great . The waitress we had, Alyssa, was as good a waitress as I have seen in a long time.

We had a really nice dining experience. The service was excellent and everyone was very friendly. The food, catch of the day, and Grouper flirentine was superb! If you go to a Casino I do not understand why you would eat fast food instead of trying this fine dining on the 3rd floor. Use some points and spend it on a nice meal. That machine will still be there, believe me. Itta Bena in Montgomery or Firehouse in WindCreek Atmore are hard to beat!

About the restaurant

Revivalist is a throwback to a historic Huntsville tavern that once occupied this location and embodied the parlor culture of the era. Today, generous portions of old-time hospitality and attentive service are served with a menu that is considerably more modern—inspired by European classics and American regionalism.

I can’t begin to describe how lucky we are to have this restaurant in BHAM. First off, it’s located in the Pizitz Building which puts you right in the heart of the city within walking distance to just about anywhere you want to go. The service is superb, the wine is out of this world (I am a huge wine snob), the canapáys are scrumptious, the appetizers are literally to die for, the entree is out of this world, and the desserts are just phenomenal. Every single course tastes beautiful. We went for our anniversary and they pulled out all of the tricks to make a woman smile and feel special. We’ve been to tasting tables and most of them are about the food looking pretty and checking boxes. Chef Jacob’s food is beautiful yet it also tastes like Heaven. Chef Jacob is accessible and will accommodate food restrictions without judgment. Another fabulous thing about this tasting menu is that you don’t have to pair your drinks with food, you can order whatever drink you want AND you don’t have to sit with strangers. They offer private seating. We left stuffed and satisfied. The staff graciously took photos to document our experience and genuinely wanted to treat us like kings and queens. Run, don’t walk to Rêve. It’s the new go to restaurant in BHAM.
