I love the concept of this restaurant. The food is excellent. The carrot cake waffles is a must have, but ours was dry, they went real light on the sauce. My tacos were extremely soggy, but awesome flavor. My wife's chicken sandwich was incredible. There is room for a lot of improvement in the service. The server took 5 minutes to come to the table, and our drinks sat finished at the bar for almost 10 minutes. My old fashioned was watered down and sad. The table next to us had all empty drink glasses including water. They had to go to the bar and ask for a drink. I felt like the bartenders were intentionally letting the over whelmed server fail. I can't imagine recommending or returning here. There are too many places that provide good service and great food.

As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with a warm welcome. The establishment features a gorgeous, elegant bar and beautiful Edison bulb string lights throughout. We visited the week before Valentine’s Day, and the holiday decorations were a lovely touch.
Our waitress was new, but she was clearly well-trained and brought excellent experience to the table. While the menu is small, it offers plenty of high-quality farm-to-table options. We ordered the Chicken and Waffles, which had a perfect balance of sweet and salty—highly recommended! I didn't see them on the menu, but I asked for Brussels sprouts; they were incredibly savory and should definitely be a menu staple.
We also loved the unique touch of having different designs and shapes for all the plates. We finished dinner with the waitress-recommended chocolate cake, and she was absolutely right—it was amazing!

First time in and we had lunch. Loved the exposed brick walls and skylight and atmosphere. We had a variety of sandwiches and enjoyed them all (tuna melt, reuben, and yum yum chicken). Truffle fries and house fries were also great! Drinks were excellent as well! Waitress was very sweet and attentive. We would definitely go back!

The food is AMAZINGGGGG! Highly recommend the Mac & cheese with blackened chicken, you will literally scrape every last bit of cheese in the bowl. The steak… the steak is impeccable the mashed potatoes and asparagus are delicious. I also had their version of espresso martini and you may only need 2 to do the job . We love Allegory and if we could eat there everyday we will

Wow. We came on a Saturday night, beautiful ambiance, suggest to get a reservation. We had the new beef brisket taco that has now taken the place of the Al Pastor one. That cilantro lime rice?????? WOW. The tacos were so flavorful, such a good time, I absolutely cannot wait to go back. I might just eat one plate and take another home.
