A new chapter in Burlington’s growing culinary scene is underway with the opening of Revell Hall, a riverfront restaurant that blends contemporary American cooking with global inspiration in one of the city’s most historic settings. Located at 219 High Street, just steps from the Delaware River and a short trip from South and Central Jersey, the restaurant is quickly emerging as a destination for diners seeking refined food without pretense.
Housed inside a thoughtfully restored riverside building, Revell Hall pairs its historic surroundings with a forward-looking approach to dining. The menu is driven by seasonality, wood-fired techniques, and layered international influences, creating an experience that feels both elevated and welcoming. The space itself reflects that balance, offering warmth and sophistication while remaining accessible for everything from casual evenings out to celebratory meals.
At the helm is Chef Joey Sergentakis, whose culinary background and global perspective shape the restaurant’s identity. His cooking draws from European fundamentals, Mediterranean flavors, Asian depth, and Latin vibrancy, all unified through live-fire preparation and ingredient-focused execution. Rather than adhering to a single tradition, the menu moves fluidly across cuisines, encouraging exploration and shared dining.
Guests will find a range of small plates, seafood selections, handcrafted pastas, and carefully prepared meat dishes designed to highlight balance and texture. Wood-fired cooking plays a central role, lending depth and subtle smokiness throughout the menu. The offerings are complemented by a robust cocktail program featuring original creations alongside a curated list of wines and craft beers, reinforcing the restaurant’s emphasis on craftsmanship across both food and drink.
Revell Hall is also positioning itself as a social hub within Burlington’s downtown revival. The city’s riverfront, historic architecture, and walkable streets have made it increasingly attractive to visitors and locals alike, and the restaurant fits seamlessly into that momentum. By combining a polished dining experience with a strong sense of place, Revell Hall contributes to the broader revitalization of the area while honoring its heritage.
In addition to regular service, the restaurant is designed to host special occasions and seasonal celebrations, further cementing its role as a gathering place. Its mix of shared plates, attentive hospitality, and scenic location makes it particularly well suited for groups and milestone events.
As Burlington continues to evolve as a dining and cultural destination, Revell Hall stands out for its ability to merge history, creativity, and modern hospitality under one roof.
