| - I'll give Allen's one star for their burger and wings. When ordered medium rare the burger is juicy and delicious (when ordered medium it was significantly drier, I wouldn't be as excited if I liked my meat well done). It's rare to be able to find a place that makes their burgers so that you can order them medium rare. Their wings were saucy and delicious.
Another star for their patio. A sweet unexpected space.
That's all the stars they get.
One point off for charging for lettuce on the burger. That's just cheap. Want fries with your burger? That will be "about $5" extra. One off for the price! Everything was really over priced here, and as I mentioned above you feel really nickled and dimed over every bite. I paid $45 for a pint, a salad, and my share of some wings and fries.
One point off for how poor that salads ordered were. Both the niscoise and the goat cheese salad were severely lacking. The niscoice was just a hard boiled egg, a tomato, and a handful of green beans. No lettuce, no presentation. Nothing. Barely any food. And the tuna that was served with it was overcooked. The goat cheese salad was under dressed, with two puny pieces of goat cheese. For $16 I expect more.
One point off for rude service. The older gentlemen who served us was rude and snipppity from the very beginning. Yes, we were a large group, but we made a reservation, so it was known that we were coming. Our table was not ready for us, we had to wait about 40 minutes to add the last table to seat everyone. No one lit our candles, we had to do it ourselves. Our waiter was not helpful in recommending beers from their extensive menu, and he consistently gave the impression that he wished we were not there. We spent $600, and left feeling like we were an annoyance to him. I don't think any of us will be back.
