   It was nothing like how it was marketed. We asked to sit in what clearly seemed like the restaurant section, but were told it was closed off. However, they seated two other people there, which felt a bit rude and inconsistent. The overall vibe felt more like a hotel breakfast than the “brunch spot” it appeared to be online

   Great location. Comfortable. Quiet. Food wasn’t great. My wagyu burger fell apart (partly because the bun was stale?) and was undercooked.

   I visited Allegory for an early dinner with a friend, and unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. The food lacked flavor and was overall very bland—we both ended up leaving most of our meals on the plate. The dessert tasted like a pre-made frozen product, which was really underwhelming. Service was another letdown. Our server was barely present throughout the meal, except when taking our orders and rushing us to decide on dinner faster than we would have liked. On top of that, service was slow, making the whole experience even less enjoyable. And our bill for a 2 persons dinner with drinks was over $200… it’s frustrating to pay that much for a dinner and not get to enjoy it. Sadly, given the lackluster food and poor service, I wouldn’t return or recommend this spot. There are far better dining options out there.

   Best service in New Jersey! These guys have the right attitude. Ambience simple but elegant. Location perfect. Drinks were not skimpy.

   This definitely is more of a hotel dining experience than a restaurant. Service was fine, food was good. Smaller setting with few tables for 4.

   The good part is the service team was friendly. The bad part is the food was inedible, took over an hour to arrive, and the restaurant still charged for the uneaten, wrongly prepared, and inedible food. Perhaps a bad day for the restaurant team, but a challenge to find a recommendation above 0 stars.

   Had dinner on NYE at the Allegory. Great vibe, good drinks and great service. My waiter Cisse took great care of me.

   Not a restaurant for a nice experience. It’s an empty room with tables. Food is the quality of a bar experience…

    For a hotel restaurant it’s bumping but the food was subpar I asked for medium rare steak and I got well done and the sauce on top was so citrusy it ruined the steak for me , didn’t pay attention to booming didn’t realize it was a hotel resturant but it was cute .. under staffed waiter had about 15 tables all by himself but he did a good job I most likely won’t return but thank you
