Revival Kitchen and Bar

My husband and I had only one night in Concord, NH. I'm a foodie and I always look for the best of the local fare. The Revival Kitchen and Bar looked like the best place. First of all it's a farm to table...a big plus...then the atmosphere is cool and comfortable, not too loud. We had a very nice server, Elspeth. She made recommendations which we followed and were very happy with our choices. I had the Sea Scallops and my husband had the Braised Beef Short Rib "Sauerbraten." We shared the apple, blue cheese, candied pecan salad with fabulous lettuce and spiced butternut squash and cider vinaigrette! Each dish was expertly prepared and we enjoyed every bite!

Walk in dine-in dinner for one person’s party, seated at bar. Didn’t have much expectation for American restaurants turns out more like Italian . Scallop bit salty but like the rice part. Brownie looks great! Would recommend. Service: they might too busy to notice one person party. ; )

I recently dined at Revival Restaurant and had a wonderful experience overall. The service was exceptional, with friendly and attentive staff who made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The ambiance of the restaurant was also very inviting and comfortable, plus they provide outside dining. The food was generally fantastic, with a variety of delicious options to choose from. I particularly enjoyed the scallop dish. However, I have to mention that the shrimp and pasta dish were not to my liking. The flavors didn't quite come together for me, and the shrimp was a bit overcooked. Cocktails and desserts were wonderful. Despite this one dish, the rest of the meal was delightful, and I would still highly recommend Revival Restaurant for its excellent service and overall quality of food.

Hands down our favorite restaurant in New Hampshire. Every time we visit it’s a unique experience with new menu items to try. Andy is our favorite waiter - great sense of humor and even better recommendations! If you’re in the area (and even if you aren’t) make a point to have dinner here.

This is like 1 of 2 restaurants my husband and I eat at between concord and Manchester. I wouldn’t call us picky or snobby, but we’ve definitely become more conscious of the value a meal out provides, considering quality of the food, the service, the atmosphere, consistency, etc. Atmosphere: definitely not an expert on describing this, but i can tell you that the lights are perfectly warm and dim. There are plants on the walls. Beautiful bar and tables. It’s not ever too loud but they play mellow likable music. I think it could be upscale casual? lol, idk, it’s cozy, not pretentious, but they do give you new silverware between courses which is a detail i love. I’ve seen people on date nights here, celebratory dinner, and then there’s me and my husband who sometimes comes in wearing sweat pants. No matter who our server is, they have always been exceptionally attentive, warm, personable, and knowledgeable. We’ve been sat at the bar and at the pretty copper tables. Our experience is great no matter where we sit or how we look. NA “mocktails” - my husband doesn’t drink alcohol and their daily/weekly/whatever NA drink special has been a hit 9/10 times. Cocktails: never once disappointed Salads: We’ve probably had every seasonal salad they offer in the last couple years. All have been superb. Light, perfectly dressed, perfect flavor combos. Soups: hit or miss for me personally. The last time i got it, it didn’t really taste like anything. But the first soup i had here was a chowder or something and it was phenomenal. Entrees: I don't think either my husband or I have ever had a disappointing entree here. Sometimes the seasonal menu or nightly specials don’t call to us, and their burger is a great fall back and is always satisfying. Perfect skinny french fries. All that being said, my meal last night blew my mind. The date was 11/22/2024 and i got the braised short rib Sauerbraten. Holy %#^*. It had such a lovely, rich yet light flavor. Sweet, tangy, umami. Again, I’m not great at describing flavors but i can tell you this dish was fire. The meat was a good portion and super tender. I left full and happy. I like my food with a bit more salt but that’s a personal preference cause there’s probably something wrong with me. Desserts: I’m a crème brûlée fiend and revival’s never misses. I’ve tried several other desserts and they have all been good, too. Always recommend making a reservation. We usually call them last minute and can only get a 4pm or 5pm seating which is fine for us because my husband and i are geriatric 30-40 year olds. I hope this place stays here forever and never changes because i genuinely love it and will probably die if the one good restaurant in the area ever went away.
