Wonderful bistro in the heart of the city. Farm to table restaurant so you get healthy options and support the local economy. I had the Thai themed salad which had maybe a little more oil on it than needed but chicken tasted great as an add on. The burgers were great per my table mates!
Reasonably priced, quick and efficient service. Definitely, check it out and give it some love.

Overall, our experience at Allegory was quite good. There is a very good vibe to the place and everyone was pleasant and friendly. Our waitress, in particular, was excellent. I commented that I thought their homemade hot sauce was fantastic and she brought me a to go cup of it without any prompting. It was a very kind gesture. It’s clear they take hospitality seriously. The only issue we had was with the food, but not the flavor, which was excellent, but rather overcooking. I got their rendition of chicken and waffles and the waffle was top notch, the syrup amazing, but the chicken was dry and overcooked. The breading fell off the chicken and there were several pieces that were too hard for me to even chew through. The actual flavor was good, but it was so overdone it ruined the dish a little. And I liked the bacon, but it could have used some seasoning. And the breading issue continued with the fish fry, as the breading flaked off the fish, making it difficult to eat. I’d definitely eat here again, and I’d even get the Chicken and Waffles again, but they definitely need to step up their breading and frying game.

We went there on Sunday around noon. My husband got the charcuterie board and I ordered the Belle of the ball salad and I added blackened shrimp. Everything was delicious!! The board had so many different and interesting pieces to it!! Each bite was a different flavor combination!! And my salad was delicious all around!! We also ordered the key lime cheesecake and the angel food cake to go!! Those were amazing as well!!! Fun atmosphere and great service too!!

The food was fantastic! The only thing is I wish the truffle fries were a little more crispy, they were a little soggy when they arrived. Our waiter was also very kind and patient. I would definitely come back to try the rest of the menu.

Great chef themed spot in the middle of Naperville. Great alternative to chains and a surprisingly good menu including the chefs take on tacos and chilaquiles that delivered awesome taste profile and the right quantity. Dine in, take out or sit at the bar. The pork belly sliders were a favorite appetizer.
Can get busy so reservations encouraged
