Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Allentown

Always the perfect restaurant for lunch. The menu choices are varied enough for everyone in our party. The waitstaff is so professional From the moment you walk through the double doors, you always feel welcomed.

One of my favorite center city cafes. Great food, drinks and it's beautiful. We had fried shrimp, Brussel sprouts, french onion soup, chicken ceasar salad. We also had a couple christmassy drinks. Everything fun and fabulous I go at least 4 times a year. I always bring someone because it's great

We were a party of 6 (made the reservation the same day and had 2 openings - thank goodness) and each person got something different so we got a bunch of items. All of our drinks were mixed well and the holiday coquito was a surprise as it was a house special. -Nachos came loaded & the street corn was amazing! - House guac and churros were pretty basic but overall good. Churros were dry and needed that "sugar seasoning" - Compared to all the apps, the Quesadilla was on the smaller size; think 4-5 pieces tiny pieces (looked like some kid's meal). - Entrees (Salmon, Steak, Chicken, tacos) serving sizes were up to par and cooked to perfection. Our server (Lenny) was ON POINT with everything; he remembered all the orders w/o writing them down and kept the refills on rotation. He kept circling making sure we were doing okay and never had to ask for anything twice. The customer service and attention to detail along with the the other waitstaff (servers, food runners, host) were also on point; no one had to wait on food and their turnover from apps/entree/dessert was top. It made the overall experience a delight.

The food is always delicious. The wait time for food was very reasonable considering how busy the restaurant was on the day after Christmas.

It was my boyfriend’s and I’s anniversary dinner. It was amazing! We were only able to schedule a late reservation but they still gave us superb hospitality. For an appetizer we got the fried calamari. My boyfriend got the salmon special which was delicious and I got the Chicken Parmesan. To end the evening we had a coffee cheesecake which was out of this world! Our server was amazing as well.
