Fab. Fab. FABULOUS. Having followed Kristin Butterworth from Lautrec to Georgia and back to Pittsburgh, she continues to dazzle us with her originality, unique tastes and sheer creativity with everyone of her dishes. It is no wonder that she was a James Beard semifinalist, and, recipient of other accolades from local food critics.. Her creativity parallels some of the best chefs of our time including George Perrier from Le Bec-Fin and Georges Blanc from Vonnas. One might think her grandmother's pasta dish with vodka sauce is ordinary until you taste the richness of this dish. After some very special treats at dinner, we left with an Ezzo pepperoni (German sausage pepperoni) pizza and had that the following evening. It was the best pepperoni pizza I've ever had. Congratulations and Good Luck to Kristin, a truly unique chef of our times.

If you’re looking for a nice dinner spot with great food and a good vibe, Revel definitely delivers. Overall, the experience was excellent from start to finish. The service was great, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the drinks were amazing. My only small critique was the Honey Sriracha chicken. To be fair, I was warned that it was spicy, but for me the sauce leaned heavily toward straight sriracha — I didn’t really pick up much honey or sweetness. Thankfully, they let me get the sauce on the side. Even without it, the chicken and the rest of the meal were still delicious. I honestly think I would’ve enjoyed it even more if the flavor balance was a little different, but that’s completely personal preference. It was also a bit loud when we first arrived, but considering it was Saturday dinner time, that was pretty expected. One highlight was the bartender’s choice drink — it was incredible. I seriously wish I had asked what was in it because I’d order it again in a heartbeat. Overall, it was a great experience and I’ll definitely be back. If anything, the only thing keeping it from being a full 5/5 is probably user error on my part with the sauce choice. Still, it made for a really great night!

The Abbey is old-timey attractive and comfortable. There’s a fountain in the dining courtyard. Covered open-air seating is available. AND THE FOOD IS DELICIOUS

My daughter & I each got the Daisy special last night in honor of the Benedum show Great Gatsby. It was a prosecco trio, 1 St Elder, 1 Creme de Violette, 1 Aperol - delicious! With our dinners - roasted beet arugula salad with salmon, tuna sashimi, and her shot of tequila, our share of the bill was $55. Very reasonable, great ambiance, and our server was responsive, personable, & funny. Perfect experience!

We were part of a large group & manager did a great job accommodating us. The service was prompt & servers were friendly. Brunch was excellent. We were in the side room which was a bit isolated from the main action, but it was fine considering our group.

Adding another Juniper Grill to the Strip District was a great move! We’ve been to almost every location in Pittsburgh and this might be my favorite. This particular location has a great ambiance and very spacious, perfect for date nights and large parties. Their food never disappoints, no matter the location. Would definitely be back to this location soon!
