We enjoyed great meals last night at Allistir One of us had the scallops and I had the venison. Both were excellent with the accompany vegetables also excellent. We eat at Allistir often and these were some of our best meals and the new chef Joel is obviously doing wonderfully. We recommend eating at Allistir.
