I can not tell you enough of how amazing their food is. I'm up here for a week or 2 annually from Florida. I am so glad I chose this restaurant as my last dinner before I go back home tomorrow. I love that it's fresh, farm to table, and the food is absolutely amazing. If you want really good, fresh food and a very nice atmosphere. I highly recommend allegory in Naperville. Excellent food, service, and all around great service. We arrived almost 45 minutes early to our reservation time and they were able to seat our party of 5 when we arrived. Super nice staff.

Had the best time at this amazing restaurant! The pork belly sliders and the tacos were delicious and unique. Atmosphere and service were top notch. But you can’t leave without having a piece of their bread pudding, OH MY!

I was really excited to try Allegory after hearing so many great things and reading all the hype on the review. The place itself is very cute, and I appreciate that they use fresh ingredients straight from the farm—that’s something I always support.
I ordered the Dad Bob burger with fries. It did taste fresh and somewhat healthy, but to be honest, it didn’t quite meet my expectations. The flavor wasn’t as satisfying as other burger spots I’ve tried, and the presentation was a bit messy—not really my style.
One thing I did enjoy was the cocktail I ordered—it was well made and had a great balance of flavor.
Unfortunately, what really ruined the experience for me was the service. My server was not attentive at all. I waited over fifteen minutes after I was clearly done eating, and no one came to check on me. I had to flag down another staff member just to get my check from my server, and even then, it took a while for my server to finally check on my table. I couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable, especially since I noticed the server was checking on all the other (white) customers around me but seemed to completely ignore my table. I truly hope it wasn’t racially motivated, but the difference in service was hard to ignore.
All in all, while the concept is nice and the drink was good, I personally wouldn’t return. The experience just didn’t live up to the reviews or what I had hoped for.

Naperville is always a hot spot for the weekend of many places to go. Decided to give Allegory a try this past weekend and I was impressed. During our visit I had their Tequila Mockingbird to start the evening off. The drink is refreshing with a spice kick due to their in house made Tajin. I got their seasonal soup which was a spicy carrot and it was hot. The soup was flavorful and I would get it again on my next visit if it was a staple item. For my main course I went for the Fridays - Legendary Fish Fry! -- Which was a great plate and the fish pieces were so warm the breading was coming off. I finished the evening with the Wake Up Bob which was a wonderful cocktail, first time trying a beverage with amaro in it. The taste in the beginning was wonderful however further into the beverage I felt it lost its taste a bit in my opinion. The food was great and the atmosphere was my favorite because yes you are by other people, but you can still converse with the people you're with and do not feel like you have to shout which is what I've experienced at some other establishments. When you walk into Allegory it is warm and inviting which is a perfect mood to escape the Chicago cold.
