    The meal was rushed by the server from our time of arrival. Difficult to have a good conversation given the noise level.

    Great spot for lunch. A bit chilly by the front door, but otherwise really great. The Butter Chicken is really good.

    Had no issues accept for the incredibly hard booth seating, would a cushion be out of the question? I’m not getting any younger, don’t you know?!?! Allen’s did not disappoint!

    The menu is very diverse with multiple food choices. Our food arrived promptly even though all six of us ordered different dishes. The meals and service were good. The only downside was the noise in the restaurant which made it difficult to have any conversation. We wouldn’t describe the noise level as “energetic” - just too loud. Perhaps Allen’s could discontinue playing recorded music? It doesn’t work, as people have to talk over it.

    We had a delicious dinner with wonderful service. We took advantage of the warm night and sat on the back patio under the trees. A great evening!

    Had lunch with two friends who have both dined with me at Allen's in past. All staff and servers made us feel welcome. We each had a different main and each was delicious and creatively presented. Jake was our server and he was both efficient and charming and he presented us with a choice of 3 specials, which are always makes it hard to choose even though I had settled on my choice from the regular menu. Allen's never disappoints.
