Chicago Sports - Allentown

I recently dined at this sophisticated restaurant for the first time and was impressed by the fantastic ambiance, pleasant music, and delicious food. We ordered the southwestern salad, Fontina pork chop, and cod imperial fish along with their respective sides. Our hostess, Hope, was both professional and friendly. I left very satisfied and would highly recommend this restaurant.

The meal was satisfying, the server was friendly and pleasant, but unfortunately, they forgot to bring my dessert. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable.

I had a wonderful experience during my recent visit to this restaurant. I typically have a system when it comes to writing reviews - I try to visit a spot three times before forming an opinion. After all, everyone has their off days and you never know what someone may be going through. Good managers and owners should encourage their staff to leave their personal issues at the door, but let's face it, that can be difficult to do. This was my 5th or 6th time dining here, and although I can't remember the bartender's name (something with a Y), she was exceptional at her job. I ordered the Tuna Poke Bowl, which was well-priced and incredibly satisfying. A light and delicious option for sure.

I'm sure this place is nice for a night out because it's got a nicer upscale vibe, but I ordered for pickup and it took 50 minutes instead of 15 minutes as I had been told on the phone. Keep in mind the restaurant was VERY slow because it was afternoon during week day. The food wasn't good enough to make up for this. Chipotle or chick fil a would have been less expensive and much quicker for similar quality. I think there was a communication issue amongst the staff.

Service and drinks are top notch. The bang bang shrimp app was great. After that it was downhill. I had the tuna poke bowl and it was not good. The onion was so strong it overpowered the entire dish! The tuna was diced up and definitely frozen and flavorless. I couldn't eat much of it. Basically tasted like I was eating onions and rice. My husband had the butterfish with lump crab. The piece of fish was small and so were the bits of crab which were not jumbo or lump. My daughter had a pasta scampi dish which was the best out of the three dinners. All in all it was a disappointing meal and I wouldn't rush back.
