"Downtown Huntsville's prettiest room — book Revivalist for fried green tomatoes and modern Southern plates under an Art Deco ceiling."
Revivalist is the chef-driven restaurant inside 106 Jefferson, a Curio Collection by Hilton hotel that opened just off the square in downtown Huntsville in 2021. The room evokes an old-time parlor reworked with Art Deco glamour, and the kitchen, led by chef Jarrod Himes, leans on area farms and the property's herb garden.
The cooking is modern Southern: European classics filtered through American regionalism and local produce.
Starters set the tone — fried green tomatoes and crab-and-shrimp hushpuppies — before mains such as filet and steak frites, roasted Hudson Valley duck breast, and an herb-roasted cauliflower steak for the table. Mains run roughly $20 to $45, with the steaks at the top end.
The dining room is the draw as much as the plates: an Art Deco space of brass, deep tones and soft light that ranks among the most striking in the city. Service is polished without being stiff, fitting both a date and a daytime business table.
For a first date or a quiet anniversary, Revivalist's room does a lot of the work. Compare it with Cotton Row or The Purveyor when shortlisting downtown Huntsville's best tables.
Not for diners chasing a bargain or a quick bite — this is a hotel fine-dining room where the setting and the steaks push the bill upward.
