Allegory

My wife and I have watched this building come to life (The MC hotel). This was our first time eating at their restaurant Allegory. The atmosphere and service was excellent, everyone from the hostess, to even the busboys were on point. The food was excellent as well. The sauce with the focaccia bread was wonderful. My pork chop was cooked to perfection and my wife’s steak was amazingly tender, she just wish there was more crispy ends! All in all it was a great experience and we will be back.

Oh and I thought everything was really good. The menu is slightly limited but it’s a newer restaurant and I expect as it gets busier the menu might expand. But everything we had was good. I had the octopus dish.

When a new restaurant opens it is usually chaos for the first month or so so we usually wait and hope they work the kinks out. It seems to have paid off at Allegory as our first visit was just great. It was a Monday so it was fairly slow. Kevin was our waiter and he was very friendly and courteous. We shared the eggplant to start and then had the potato crusted cod and the Bolognese for our mains. All of the food was very good. Instead of dessert we headed up to the rooftop bar and it did not disappoint. We sat outside and the views are spectacular. Advice if you want to sit outside - dress warmly because the heaters while quite nice to look at provide little heat. We enjoyed everything about our experience at Allegory and will certainly return.

Very small lunch menu, great service but my chicken sandwich wasn’t fried properly. The skin was coming off and had shifted before I picked up the sandwich. My companion enjoyed their spaghetti and the prices are definitely reasonable.

Sleek space with jazz on occasion
As the chef is German we tried the spaetzel and it was light and delicious
Also enjoyed the sweet pea ravioli
And lamb ribs
Portions were appropriate for the price
Chris the bartender is a real pro and the manager was very accommodating
Some expected growing pains with service that hopefully will work out
