| - "Revive at 5": A very intimate place for happy hour, daily from 5-7pm!
The decor was beautiful to oggle at while sipping on some delicious cocktails and nibbling on small bar bites. We felt underdressed in some t-shirts and shorts but received great service regardless.
Our server was extremely welcoming and informative. Based on her cocktail recommendations, we went with "Blood & Sand" (scotch, cherry brandy, sweet vermouth, orange juice) which was sweet and apparently their strongest drink, and the more refreshingly tart "Dark & Stormy" (rum with ginger beer). $7 each.
Bar bites ($5 each) were the size of a square coaster so it was perfect for a very light, pre-dinner snack. Some people will complain about the portion size but this is Vegas.
According to the server, we had chosen the top 3 most popular items:
-Oysters on the half-shell: 2 mid-size oysters topped with some flavored/salted ice. It would've been nice to have some extra mignonette sauce to go with it but they were fresh and meaty.
-Tuffled Mac & cheese: with mushrooms, this was my favorite dish! So flavorful and a little bit on the salty side. The use of white cheddar instead of yellow made it look and taste fancier.
-Lobster roll: lobster meat was pretty flavorful but I feel like this was the most lacking out of all the bites. It was really just a 1-person/1-bite portion and for $5, not worth it.
A very nice, romantic place, 3.5 stars. Will have to come back for a taste of their dinner menu and another round of drinks.
