Allen Street Grill - State College

Grilled Halloumi cheese, caramelized peaches, smoked spec ham, and tahini honey. I'm telling you, the Allen Street Grill has the best food and a genius chef. .... wedge salad was my wife's choice for dinner. I didn't sample so I can't say much about that. I had the Atlantic Halibut over super sweet corn and San Marzano tomatoes in the last picture. The Halibut was mild, perfectly crispy on the surface and melt in your mouth on the inside. So look....I don't post many reviews and I am I simple man who typically doesn't like higher priced and fancy places. That said, I have to say there is no place better I've ever eaten. This place is at the pinnacle of the industry. From servers and bartenders to the kitchen and management. This is the ultimate dining experience anywhere, right here in our home town.

Fine dining in a historical setting. Food was yum staff was great and presentation of dinner was fun. I loved how they did my mushroom soup and it was !!! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We recently visited this restaurant on 6/17. We had an experience that was worth noting. The waitress notified us they only had a couple dishes remaining on one of the specials. The one item was the Swordfish. So my wife ordered it. A few min went by and the manager came by and apologized because they sold out of it. So my wife ordered another seafood dish. No issues and we were not upset at all, it happens. The server then brought out the two appetizers we ordered. By surprise she brought out a 3rd appetizer on the house. The manager and waitress came over and apologized once again for running out of the Swordfish and told us the 3rd appetizer was free. Keep in mind, we were not upset and it wasn’t expected or necessary they did this. It was a very nice gesture, and this nice gesture was basically how the rest of the dinner turned out. The service was excellent, the food was fabulous, the free appetizer was amazing, and the atmosphere was pleasant and inviting. I almost forgot, thank you bartender, our drinks were great, especially my Old Fashioned. It was perfect! The one picture is an appetizer, Steak Tatar. As you can see it was almost gone. Outstanding!! Thank you to the entire staff at Allen Street Grill. It was our first time at the restaurant and it won’t be our last. Cheers!!
