Allen's is reminiscent of a New York City saloon from ages past. The tin ceiling, the wood floors and the cozy old bar make it an experience in itself. Yet Allen's also has a fabulous menu that is sure to inspire and delight.

With more than 300 kinds of whisky, more than 100 wines and over 140 beers, it will satisfy your need for liquid refreshment. The food is pub fare improved thanks to the reliance on organic and locally raised meats and careful preparation. Burgers, salads, soups and so much more await those who pay a visit to Allen's.

    Celebrated a friend's birthday at Allen's Steak Fest with an early dinner. We both ordered Tanjo Tenderloin, the double baked potato, and an order of mushrooms to share. Our steak was cooked perfectly and the sauce on the mushrooms was divine. We shared a Espresso cheescakw for dessert. Oliver, our server, was both efficient and personsble. At Oliver's suggestion, the host offered to csll us a taxi to get us home in stormy weather. Another wonderful experience at Allen's where both the food and service is always the best!

    This was a great Steakfest Valentin's Day dinner. The Porterhouse steak was well aged, done just right as ordered, with the service being top level. An all-round great experience I'd say.

    Allen's on the Danforth boasts a lovely ambiance and attentive table service. However, the food fell short of expectations, especially considering the price point. While the leek soup was a standout, the steaks and sides were underwhelming. A particularly disappointing experience was the dismissive and disrespectful manner in which management handled our concerns. Overall, a mixed experience that doesn't justify the cost. What happened to you Allen's?
