- CCynthiaChicago / Illinois •2 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe get to eat here 2 times a year and every time it gets better. Last night was the best yet. The drinks are amazing, we get the Gin and tonic and Paloma - they are crisp, light, and refreshing to start the meal. Appetizers are had scallops and baked onion soup. The scallops had a pomegranate caviar on top, perfectly seared, and the sauce so good, we asked for more bread to not wasted it! The baked onion soup had many layers of flavor. Dinner had the Branzino with clams and mussels, Parppadelle, Seafood Risotto, and our favorite The Ribeye with potatoes and Brussel Sprouts. The flavor profile and many layers of flavor in each bite, takes you to whole other world. This is in my top 3 places I have eaten in my life! Bonus we get to eat her multiple times a year!More infoAllen Street GrillPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• State College•4.7
