    Modern cuisine with Southern flair... Tastefully creative... Revival tastefully merges traditional local heirloom ingredients with modern concepts and delicious execution.

An epic rooftop bar? Best in the city 200+ piece curated art collection? Yup, but we don't want to brag. We could go on. But we are missing one thing - YOU. What level of creativity, fun, beauty, and inspiration can you bring to the team? Can you match our moxie? We'd love to find out. To learn more, visit
