Manhattan Vibe Right Here in Garden City!
Owner James Doukas has successfully captured the air of a cosmopolitan and urban restaurant/ bar in the quaint town of Garden City with his baby, Revel Restaurant. The large space provides an eclectic vibe and enthusiastic energy. The wait staff and bartenders are beyond competent, and the food is mouth watering. I went last week and experienced the three course price fixed menu.The portions are quite generous and as always I started with the traditional Revel Salad which has yummy toasted sunflower seeds, pickled shallots with roasted tomatoes, cucumbers tossed in a delightful shallot vinaigrette. This was followed by my favorite pasta dish – Garganelli Bolognese (pork, veal and beef ragu with baby peas and parmigiani cheese) and a Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse.The pasta portion was so generous that I took it for lunch the next day and was able to experience my entire dining experience all over again! This meal was more than fairly priced at $34.00 and there were so many options to choose from! I urge you to take the virtual tour and make it a point to visit Revel – it is perfect for a date night!
