Allegory - Naperville

I recently visited this restaurant and was pleasantly surprised by the deliciousness and freshness of their fries. They were absolutely satisfying and made for a great snack. However, I was a bit taken aback by the price. Two orders of fries ended up costing me over $21, which seemed a bit high for such a simple treat. Despite the cost, the flavor and quality of the fries were outstanding, and I can see why some would be willing to spend a little extra for them. If the price was more reasonable, I would definitely make this place my regular go-to for fries. However, if you don't mind splurging a bit for some excellent fries, it's well worth a visit!

What's not to love about a farm to table restaurant!? Allegory is a great not so hidden gem in Downtown Naperville. Staff was very friendly, the vibe was lively and our meal was fresh. I am looking forward to coming back and trying more items on the menu! Check it out!Food: 5/5

We had a wonderful dining experience from beginning to end. The service was top-notch and the food was amazing. The prices were reasonable and the portions were generous. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meal. This restaurant is definitely worth a visit in downtown Naperville. There are plenty of parking options within walking distance and lots of other places to explore nearby as well.

It is with a heavy heart that I say that I was not able to photograph the Dad Bod burger. Instead, this photo (taken by the Samsung Galaxy A71 5G) of The Allegory Old Fashioned will have to do.But, dear reader, it is understandable as to why I have done so. The burger (medium rare) is absolutely amazing that provided an interesting and unique texture that stood out to me — even though my diet involves a lot of meat.I have also tried the breaded chicken and the lamb as well because my parents couldn't finish their food, but I can definitely vouch for the delightful taste.The Allegory belongs to the list of places I rate 5 stars in part that I have stopped eating solely to type this review.

We were unaware that a reservation was required, so we waited 35 minutes to be seated and unfortunately, it was not worth the wait. The presentation of the food was impressive, particularly the fried chicken with its thick crust, but the taste was disappointing and lacked flavor. The drinks were subpar, leading us to return them and opt for water instead. The garlic mashed potatoes were the only redeeming dish. The flavor of the tacos was confusing and did not resemble traditional tacos. The restaurant's location is excellent, but the narrow, small space made it uncomfortably loud. Overall, we were disappointed and feel that the restaurant would benefit from a new chef or someone with a better understanding of seasoning and food preparation.
