“Revel is dedicated to using fresh ingredients, a commitment that’s evident in its bright spinach salad, dotted with golden raisins and thinly shaved sunchoke, and an exhilarating corned-lamb salad that hollers springtime. The chewy, rustic hunks of meat are served aboard a bed of jade-green mizuna tossed with a pleasantly citric nuoc cham. Between the lamb and just-plucked greens, it’s hard to ignore the sensation of biting into an English landscape painting.”Read Hanna Raskin’s full review of Revel.
