Last minute dinner out at The Revelry. Scott saw the restaurant on our way to pick up my car from the shop and decided we should eat dinner there.
The "South Carolina Lowcountry cuisine" restaurant opened in 2013 in the Neighborhood of the Arts in an old factory off of University Avenue and was quite the find! No need for reservations, since we were early, but the downstairs bar was already packed with a late twenties, thirties crowd. The open concept upstairs provided a row of windows looking out on University Avenue and despite the crowd gathering a floor below, the upstairs was intimate and welcoming.
We each started with a glass of a summer favorite Chenin Blanc. This 2013 Chateau de Breze from the Saumur region of the Loire Valley in France. The wine was crisp, refreshing and paired well with a small plate of the Beet Deviled Eggs. The small plate featured beet colored eggs with mustard caviar, bacon and a cornbread crumbly topping that provided a unique texture to the dish.
Scott had the dry aged Hanger Steak with a smoked potato salad while I enjoyed the Blackened Grouper with stewed okra. Yum! We will be back and will bring friends.
