Had a nice meal with friends at Revel. Happy Hour specials are great, and they have additional hours in the evenings, as well as on weekends. We had blackened salmon, Tuscan chicken and the shrimp and crab fried rice- everyone enjoyed their meal. They do close Mondays at 7pm, so just be aware of that.
