I was conflicted about giving four-stars to Remy's. If I hadn't read the reviews on Yelp, I probably would have given it three, or even two, stars.
I visited Remy's on a Saturday afternoon in the summer. It was hot and humid, and I wanted to have a drink on a patio in the area. After reading Yelp reviews, I knew Remy's was not known for it's food so I did not expect much at all. I ordered a pitcher of sangria (I was with someone, so I didn't actually drink alone) and the blackened chicken salad. The service was pretty good. The sangria was alright. The salad was nothing to write home about. Let's just say if you were hungry and/or drunk you would have loved it.
The best thing about the rooftop patio is its size. There are a lot of tables so you don't feel confined, which is hard to find in Yorkville. It's a very casual, laid-back atmosphere where you can get away from the street level noise and just have a drink with a large or small group. The one thing that did surprise me though is the dated decor and fixtures inside. It looked like it was built, designed and last cleaned in the early 90s.
If you're in the area looking for a drink, you really can't go wrong. They don't charge Yorkville-like prices so it's hard to complain about the menu. Just don't expect to be amazed by their food.
