Absolutely Amazing! What an AMAZING experience. You are instantly welcomed into Julia's "home" like family.
The social nature of the dining experience is only surpassed by the extraordinary culinary, wine, and service experience. Each dish is creatively prepared with expert precision and creativity.
MENU
Julia shapes the menu based on the freshest ingredients she can source from local purveyors. You feel as though you are dining with friends in Julia's home vs. a sterile restaurant.
SERVICE
The service staff anticipates your needs. We never once had to request bread, butter, water, wine, or anything. It was a masterclass in service.
WINES
It is clear that the wines are not accidentally paired, but Julia crafts each course to perfectly pair with its wine. We arrived at 6:30PM and before we knew it, it was 11PM and the table was filled with satisfied friends who had become like family during the course of the evening.
OVERALL
This was one of our favorite dining experiences that we have had anywhere in the world. One of us has dietary restrictions (gluten and dairy). Julia's team adapted each course to give that guest the full experience. They even produced their own gluten-free bread (which was fantastic). Whereas many places will accommodate dietary restrictions with something underwhelming, Julia's team embraced those restrictions in such a way that the guest had every bit of a culinary experience that the rest of us enjoyed. We cannot recommend Reverie any higher. Book in advance, and prepare for a great evening!

What a spectacular meal and evening. Julia (the owner) is lovely, talented, modest, and compelling in her presentation of unique SA wine pairings. She and her team even accommodated last-minute awareness of one vegetarian and two gluten free guests in our party. We enjoyed sharing the taste-bud splendor with the other "social table" guests and meeting her handsome pup Luke by request at the end of our evening. All seven of us highly recommended this deliciously delightful culinary experience! Special thanks to Julia & team!
