Nestled in beautiful Montclair, Allegory presents a mixed dining experience. While the ambiance and scenic views impress, service inconsistencies and menu execution leave room for improvement. Diners rave about inventive cocktails and certain dishes, such as the prime NY strip and delicious appetizers; however, long waits and miscommunications plague several visits. Guests have noted the need for better staffing, as overwhelmed servers struggle to keep pace. Despite these setbacks, many patrons appreciate the restaurant's potential, hoping for a brighter future under new management. For a tranquil brunch or a special occasion, it remains a lovely choice in this charming town.

Staff didn't seem to care for serving at all and practically barely saw us... we noticed a customer that was sitting alone also was barely seen and saw that she...
