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 dish together in such a refined and memorable way. | For entrées, the ribeye was everything you want it to be — rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The lamb shank was tender and beautifully complemented by the beans and onion jam, coming together in a way that feels almost magical. And the Cornish game hen was buttery and juicy, paired with a rich gravy and velvety mashed potatoes that made it

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.

We recently visited this restaurant on 6/17. We had an experience that was worth noting. The waitress notified us they only had a couple dishes remaining on one of the specials. The one item was the Swordfish. So my wife ordered it. A few min went by and the manager came by and apologized because they sold out of it. So my wife ordered another seafood dish. No issues and we were not upset at all, it happens. The server then brought out the two appetizers we ordered. By surprise she brought out a 3rd appetizer on the house. The manager and waitress came over and apologized once again for running out of the Swordfish and told us the 3rd appetizer was free. Keep in mind, we were not upset and it wasn’t expected or necessary they did this. It was a very nice gesture, and this nice gesture was basically how the rest of the dinner turned out. The service was excellent, the food was fabulous, the free appetizer was amazing, and the atmosphere was pleasant and inviting. I almost forgot, thank you bartender, our drinks were great, especially my Old Fashioned. It was perfect! The one picture is an appetizer, Steak Tatar. As you can see it was almost gone. Outstanding!! Thank you t
