Allegory is a cute, cozy, farm to table Cajun restaurant in the heart of downtown Naperville. I walk past it often and always think “I’d like to eat there some day” and I’m glad I did today!
Our server, Adam, was super knowledgeable about the menu and super kind as well! I enjoyed the shrimp & grits which was delicious!! I’ve never had grits before but I hope they always taste like that ^_^ I also had the sugar plum sour which was as delicious as it was beautiful. Perfect flavors, not too strong, but definitely had me feeling some type of way.
My friend had the mac and cheese with grilled chicken along with a cider, and really enjoyed both of them.

Came here for a quick lunch. The cocktails were very good. Definitely try the sugar plum cocktail it is so good and I wish I had had a second one. Mac and cheese is on point, the chicken sandwich is too good HIGHLY recommend. You can’t really go wrong here. The only thing that wasn’t great was the amount of time we waited for drinks. Perhaps they were understaffed? Despite that everyone was friendly so overall it was a pleasant experience.

First time here and I have to say what a great experience. Beyond satisfied with our experience here. The “dad bod burger” is to die for. Love that this restaurant really promotes farm raised and grass fed. I also really appreciated our waitress Talissa who not only was very friendly but also incredibly helpful with the menu and had wonderful suggestions. Highly recommend this place and I will be coming back!

Had a great lunch here. The quality of the food, combined with the service by our waiter Adam and the ambience was unmatched.
I got the sugar plum cocktail which tasted fantastic. My brother had the quiche and said it was one of the best he’s ever had. I got the chicken sandwich, which had a little too much peanut sauce for my taste, but that’s more of a personal preference. For dessert, you can’t go wrong with the key lime cheesecake.

Just in town for the day. I was looking for a restaurant for lunch that was locally owned. I stopped in an was pleasantly surprised by the esthetic of the restaurant; beautiful lighting, original hardwood floors, cozy tables.
I was greeted by my waiter, Dan, who instantly won me over with his warm welcome and engaging manner.
At his recommendation I ordered the cheeses and Mac with blackened shrimp. I was not disappointed. In one word.... Incredible!
I highly recommend this local restaurant and its cozy food experience.
