Absolutely fabulous!!!!
Everything on our breakfast plate was perfect. From the homemade bread and home fries to an omelet stuffed with goodness. We're already planning for lunch later!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Thank you so very much for the review! As a scratch kitchen, we work day and night to make everything. The wheat bread you had was just baked late last night and everyone loves it too! You chose the Monterrey omelet, one of our most popular omelets! Always a pleasure when Foodies visit us, as you truly understand all that goes in to making everything to order and super fresh ingredients. Look forward to serving you again! Happy Cooking, Chef Paul.

Came in early Saturday afternoon and it was fairly empty. We had an attentive server who mentioned RK makes everything from scratch.
For drinks we had orange juice and a hot chocolate with whipped cream. The OJ had some pulp and didn't taste like it was from frozen concentrate. The hot chocolate was gourmet and delicious - kind of like a thin brownie batter.
For food, we ordered the ruben and the brigadier benedict. The corned beef has on the benedict was delicious, but the home fries left a bit to be desired. The ruben was disappointing - it was thinly shaven meat, nothing like the corned beef in the benedict. The sandwich was toasted and crispy, which was good.
RK also makes various sweets, including truffles, croissants (plan and chocolate), danishes, cheesecake, etc. We ordered a linzer bar to go, which was shortbread with a raspberry layer and crumbles on top. It was enjoyable and a nice sweet treat.
I definitely recommend the hot chocolate and corned beef hash. Checkout the bakery case as well.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Anne A.Branford, CT02948Feb 5, 2017
We just tried RK for the first time Saturday night. Although it has more of breakfast & lunch menu, it is great for a light dinner as well. We started with the homemade chicken vegetable soup which was delicious (we got some to take home for lunch the next day). I had the California turkey sandwich on their homemade wheat bread (toasted). The sandwich had plenty of turkey, avocado and a tasty aioli spread. My husband enjoyed the pulled pork sandwich.
The place is very casual and the owners are very nice. The chef, Paul, specializes in pastry and makes his own breads. He's even cooked for the Pope. His sister is very friendly and warm. It was a relaxed and delicious eating experience.Helpful 5Thanks 0Love this 4Oh no 0 - Dec 20, 2016First to Review
Fresh and flavorful doesn't begin to describe this humble eatery... they have something to please everyone... super fresh farm to table salads, soups, and sandwiches.... gourmet chocolates and truffles... amazing gelato as good as any you'd find in Rome...! Cute little place where they make you feel at home, and their pride in their culinary creations is absolutely apparent! Relax, have a latte, some hot soup and great conversation, this place puts you at ease from the moment you walk in. Try it once and you will keep coming back again and again...

Love this place & have been here 2-3 times. Chef & owners are right on site are super friendly & accommodating. No one makes scrambled eggs as good as mine...EXCEPT this place. Finally! A person who knows how to make perfect, fluffy scrambled eggs every time! I love their breakfast here with their adorable mini waffles! Always have to take a goodie for dessert home with us & one of their homemade gelatos. Love, love. love their Parisian Décor & comfy seating atmosphere. Prices are a bit high, but the quality of the food makes it worth it. So oui go ahead & treat yourself I say!

Such a great time at Reverie! Chef Paul and Diana truley care about the details and it shows. Great service, super fresh salads, creative and really tasty sandwiches, and of course Chef Paul's fantastic baking (the brownies are MAGICAL). Reverie is special. We will be back to try more and get some of that house made bread!

Nice to be able to make reservations for breakfast when two couples were coming from different directions. Brigadier cornedbeef hash with two poached eggs was the best I've ever had. Home fries with onions were tasty and wheat bread was not your run-of-the-mill wheat bread....hearty texture. The gelato case and pastries made us all want to come back again...and we may!

Hi Corinne, thank you so much for posting about your visit. As an all scratch kitchen, we make everything! The corned beef Hash is slow roasted overnight and is so very popular. We make all the bread here too! The homefries with caramelized onions always turns that "no homefries person" into oh yes homefries! There is always something new to try in the bakery case and we have 18 flavors of gelato all the time, changing the more than 70 flavors we make frequently. Rated number 1 for breakfast and brunch, we have also added dinner! Look forward to having you again at Reverie. Chef Paul.

I'm not entirely sure how they're maintaining a four plus star rating. Reverie Kitchen certainly has a lot of potential, but the experience was all wrong for me.
First, the waitress, the only person waiting tables while I was there, seems to be pretty new at her job. If so, it makes sense to have someone with more experience help her wait tables and take orders. The waitress was running around, trying to do multiple things, and was lost the entire time. For instance, after ordering coffee and food, she quickly forgot about me, and it took around 15-20 minutes before she remembered.
Second, the food is overpriced. The small cup of coffee, which was slightly below average, was $3, and my eggs benedict was $13. The eggs benedict was slightly undercooked, and insufficiently drained of the water it had been boiled in. Also, eggs were under-seasoned, hollandaise was a bit runny, canadian bacon was underwhelming, and english muffins were insufficiently toasted. The home fries were very greasy and very scant. They definitely hold back when it comes to portion, and thus not worth the price.
They have a lot of work to do, and would hope that they'd begin with organization in order to make Reverie feel more like a professional kitchen instead of an amateur home kitchen.
Updated Response: It's very disappointing when the owner of a business is adamant on defending their mistakes instead of seeking to address the deeper issues. Please see below. Paul, if your customers are telling you that they had an unenjoyable dining experience (e.g. see other low reviews below), it would be to your benefit to actually listen, and try to improve for next time. Your accusation of being prejudicial towards senior citizens is silly. Moreover, no one cares that you graduated from Harvard or the CIA; people just want good food. Please focus on the problem.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

Reverie Kitchen is rated number 1 for breakfast, brunch, soups, salads and very highly rated for sandwiches, lunch, dinner and dessert for a reason, and that reason is that we are a scratch kitchen that produces exceptional food, cooked to order. Our prices are competitive (we check) and our Eggs Benedict, along with the rest of our menu is excellent. Our $3 coffee comes with free refills. We are professional chefs with substantial resumes and find your comments to be categorically untrue, and although you are entitled to your own opinion, you are not entitled to your own facts. The two items on the menu you had on your ONLY visit, eggs Benedict and coffee, we have made for 40 years and our experience is extensive... We are CIA and Harvard grads and we constantly expand our repertoire. Our customers love our food, our restaurant and us...
