This was my second time eating at Allegory and I don’t understand what happened. The service was terrible we waited at least 20-30 minutes to place our order and another 20-30 minutes to get our drinks. The food was meh and some of it undercooked and some of it overcooked all of it overpriced. The ambiance was nice. However a fellow patrons chair did break and he fell on the floor (I don’t think he was badly injured). I don’t think I’ll be returning.

I went for my birthday and was very excited but the website allowed me to make a reservation at 11 when the staff mentioned over and over various staff members that the kitchen closes at 11:15 and we felt extremely rushed and unwelcome. When we first got there the first person we spoke to acted as if we were in the wrong having a reservation at that time and we had to talk to three different staff to even sit down. I was very upset because if they had called asked me to change it to earlier I would have I simply didn’t know. I thought 11 was a good brunch time and it was an available time to book. The sever kept rushing us and it ruined the time as I felt uncomfortable. I think the website should be fixed to not allow reservations at that time to avoid this in the future.

Hello Patricia, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. First and foremost, we sincerely apologize that your birthday celebration did not meet your expectations. We completely understand how disappointing it must have been to feel rushed, especially on such a special occasion. We appreciate your feedback and will be looking into it to ensure that future guests do not face a similar issue. It was never our intention to make you feel unwelcome, and we regret that our communication about the kitchen’s closing time was not handled more effectively. Your experience is valuable to us, and we will be addressing this with our team to improve both our reservation process and our guest interactions. Best, Felicia The MC Hotel Food and Beverage Manager

We had a fabulous meal! The staff were very helpful and friendly. The food was delicious especially the steak sandwich. Great selection of both mocktails and cocktails. It’s a great spot for a date or catching up with friends.

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.

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.
