Allen Street Grill

I’ve been to Allen Street Grill multiple times now when staying at Hotel State College, and every visit has been exceptional from start to finish. The service is exactly what upscale dining should be — attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm without ever feeling rushed. The ambiance is inspired and historic, a true testament to the rich history of the property and the charm that fills every corner. The drinks are equally impressive, crafted with care and balance that showcase real skill behind the bar. | The bufala mozzarella appetizer is truly life-changing — as our server suggested, grab a spoon and get a little of every component in one bite; you won’t regret it. The beef carpaccio was another standout, a perfect balance of flavor and texture, with the crispy sunchoke bringing the

Super lovely. The food was great and the other patrons at the bar when we got a glass of wine before our reservation were so nice and friendly! They even recommended us the broiled oysters (which were fantastic). It was intimate and romantic! The perfect noise level to feel like a private conversation. We sat in the windows and it was gorgeous. I got the fish and my boyfriend got the steak and both were fantastic. The apps (broiled oysters and tiger prawns) were great as well. Our server was lovely, though I feel bad I did not catch her name! The hostess and bartenders were very kind and patient too (and very helpful with wine selection). They have a fantastic and unique wine selection (perfect for wine lovers). The perfect birthday date for my boyfriend! We cannot wait to go back

We absolutely love this restaurant and recommend it to anyone looking for a celebration or just amazing dinner spot. My husband and I have been coming here for every anniversary (plus any reason to celebrate) and have never been disappointed. Wanted to leave this review and do a shoutout to Rachel who truly made our 5 year anniversary dinner 5-Star. Thank you again to everyone at this establishment - we love each visit !

Amazing experience and very accommodating. Our waiter was super courteous and gave some very helpful tips and recommendations. One of my favorite spots in State College. And thank you again for the desserts!

Overall the experience was good, just not quite great enough for 5 stars. The service was phenomenal from both our waiter and the host. Our waiter accommodated our allergies well and suggested the best menu options. The main reason I couldn't give full stars was that the pricing just doesn't line up with the food. For as much as we spent, I expected the food to be of higher quality and quantity. The fish was bland and had too much oil on it. The pork chop was cooked too much and was chewy. It would have also been nice to have more menu options. The dessert was good and not too heavy.
