Went for a party of 18!! our waiter was great , food was good with the exception of the hostess. The lady with the tattoos down her arm and screw face.She was rude from the moment we walked in very unpleasant and nasty demeanor. It’s ashame because it’s a nice place and people you decided to hire and represent your company can really leave a bad impression.Every person in our dinner party had negative things to say about her. If you don’t like your job find another one instead of being miserable and making other peoples experiences a memorable one.I would never return because of how rude and unpleasant she was. I know for a fact this can’t be the first complaint in regards to her. She is the first person to greet you when you walk in the first person to make a great impression and she is doing an awful job & because of her a few of us will not return!!

Had a dinner here with my spouse. She had a very undercooked steak and I had the salmon. Salmon was alright, steak was terrible. Shame too, it was a great cut, just not handled correctly.Atmosphere is great, drinks are OK (if they have the ingredients), service is mid. You can spend the same amount at S&S across the street with chicken fingers and have a better time, real shame.They need to build a firebirds out here, frfr

My boyfriend and I have been here a handful of times before and decided to celebrate our anniversary here last week.I ordered a steak to be cooked rare as I normally do. It comes out, and after cutting it open I see it's absolutely not rare, it's blue. Safe to eat? Maybe, but not what I ordered. I touched the piece I had just cut, and it was cool to the touch in the middle, not even warm.So I politely ask for it to be taken and cooked just a little more. After it comes back out, I cut into it again, it was still not cooked. It seemed like they just seared the side I cut off and put it back on the plate. There was some stuck to the knife like I had cut through a piece of raw meat. (See photos)Our waitress (a young, small blonde woman with glasses) was very kind, but before giving us our bill, she had the nerve to tell me that I shouldn't order a rare steak next time! As if I'm an idiot that doesn't know the difference between rare and nearly raw and cold. So effectively, she blamed me for the kitchen's mistake. Just an unprofessional and unnecessary comment.The manager ended up taking it off the bill, but the whole experience left a bad taste in our mouths. We likely won't be back.

Underwhelming would be one word to sum up this visit. You could tell nothing was fresh, shrimp looked like they just thawed out. The stir fry rice noodle was a thick overpowering sauce they dumped over tough seafood and rice noodles. We had to ask for new rice, and the server tried to explain that's how it's cooked. I actually had to tell him it was crunchy, dry white rice and then he was willing to fix it. My husband had the short rib and that was okay but everything else was gross. I have not had such a bad dinner and so disappointed because it used to be a good spot with a nice view of downtown. Drinks were fine. Do not come here thinking they will be making good food, fine for a drink, but wouldn't trust anything else. Overpriced and gross , so many better choices in downtown allentown. We will not be back.

Started with the calamari. Tasted like it might have been air fried, im guessing. Breading was mushy and the meat was chewy. Got the short ribs for dinner. They were burnt, dry, cold, and zero taste of any wine braise. The sauce on top was bitter and off tasting. The mash potatoes and asparagus were cooked correctly but cold. The restaurant is beautiful though. They have a good beer and wine selection if you were going for an after work drink

Ordered a salmon handheld sandwich that was falling apart. Also would have liked a cocktail list. I just ordered a regular vodka soda which I drink at home. would have like something else to choose from.
We really liked the restaurant but our waiter was not very attentive. We had to ask for more olive oil and water. He never asked us about our meal or if we needed anything or is we wanted dessert.

Not a good dining experience. We had wings that weren’t crispy in the least- fatty. For mains we had salads with chicken and salmon. Chicken was cooked hours before and rubbery. I asked for salmon well and it came out medium rare. We don’t send food back and for a place like this we were surprised and disappointed.

Take your money to Grille 3501. Our experience was a mixed bag. The service was decent. Our server was very nice. Polite and well-mannered (Stanley). However, the food and drinks did not meet expectations. We waited 15 minutes for drinks, and the Cranberry Old Fashioned I got did not have a cranberry flavor at all. We ordered the brussel sprouts, acancini, calamari, and the burger. We ordered it medium and it came out well-done. See for yourself in the picture. Also, the lettuce was obviously bad. See the pictures. The calamari was a bit chewy and could have been fried better. The star of the night? The brussel sprouts. We didn't even bother with dessert because of how let down we were with the whole experience. Also, we were sat up by the window. Great view! But, it was not very warm. The heat was turned off and it was 23° outside (winter).

Wow, I've never had a meal so bad for the price I paid !!! The restaurant was beautiful and then we got a laminated menu that looked like we should've been in a diner. My glass of wine was $16 for Josh Sauvignon blanc. We started with calamari, which was barely fried, almost soggy, like it had been sitting in oil. We ordered a salad, and while the dressing was good, they took whole leaves of lettuce, and just laid them on the plate with four tomatoes. It was supposed to be an arugula salad and it came out with Romaine. It was actually comical...how ridiculous it looked. The ricotta gnocchi portion was very small for $24 and very mushy. I counted... literally 15 small gnocchi. I paid more than a dollar each piece of pasta. Lol! The braised Meatball was the best part of the whole meal and that was average at best . I BEG YOU DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!
