Revere is a trendy restaurant between Pape avenue and Donland avenue. My bestie and I visited for a girls' night out date!
The restaurant has a great vibe. Firstly, I love the blanket throw on the chair. It created a nice and toasty atmosphere. Decor was rustic chic! Service was fantastic. Server was kind. I appreciate separate menus for accommodating different dietary needs.
My bestie and I both opted for risotto; seared scallop saffron risotto ($20) and green risotto ($18). The complimentary house made focaccia was great. Crispy exterior, soft on the insider. It was perfect with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Unfortunately, we both felt our entree risottos were flat. Although her scallops were well cooked, she felt hers lacked seafood flavours. The overall texture was good but not flavourful. My green risotto with asparagus, celery, spinach, lemon and Parmesan suffered the same fate. It was bland. Perhaps it can use more acidity or lemon zest to lift the flavours.
I really wish I can lick my plate and give Revere a better review; however, the dishes just did not live up to our expectations.
