"I know this restaurant gets a lot of hype and many positive reviews, but we were underwhelmed and disappointed. We dined at Revival Restaurant in Concord as a party of 4 last night. We were seated on time for our reservation and the staff members were enthusiastic and friendly telling us how we were in for an amazing dining experience. Our friends ordered the chef’s prix fixe dinner, while my husband and I ordered off the menu. I started with the soup, which contained chicken, shiitake mushrooms, and carrots in a clear broth. It was delivered to me luke wam. The taste was very bland, including the tasteless chicken. I ate most of it, but only because I felt like I shouldn’t waste it. I did not enjoy it at all. For the main course I had the sirloin steak. it was prepared medium rare, as I requested, but the meat was not particularly tender and again, the food on the plate (steak, asparagus, potatoes and gravy) was just barely warm, not hot. The gravy looked congealed, as if it had been sitting for a while. My husband ordered the pork and his food was also luke warm. Our sever asked how things were several minutes after we received our food and I told her my food was not delivered hot. She offered to take it back to the kitchen to have it heated up, but by then I was halfway through my meal and there didn’t seem to be much point. I also didn’t want the steak to come back overcooked from a blast in the microwave. She then said she’d mention it to Chef, but I never had any follow up from her or the chef. She never asked again whether everything was OK. They don’t seem to know how to handle any feedback that isn’t praise. Our friends also mentioned that only one of their courses was delivered hot. Their main course was also delivered cool. We had a late seating at 8:00 and the restaurant became less busy as our dinner progressed, so there was no obvious reason for our food to be delivered cool. In addition, the food was OK, but not great. Definitely not worth the hype or the price. The best part of the meal was the bottle of wine we ordered. And my husband ordered a scoop of ice cream for dessert just so he’d finish the meal with something he knew he’d like. We won’t be back."
