I recently worked on some client code that interacts with the ReviewBoard API:

http://www.reviewboard.org/docs/manual/1.6/webapi/

I won't claim to be a REST expert by any means, but this API is one of the best examples of "Real REST" that I have worked with. Something that I found quite nice about it is that my client code didn't really have to know about URLs for the most part. If I remember right, it only had to know the URL for the root resource, after which all URLs were obtained from the previous response from the web service.
