We didn’t like it. And don’t trust the stuff

My understanding of fine dining expanded during my visit to Allium. In the past, I think I expected to be blown away by each dish. I now understand that this is probably an unrealistic expectation. So what should I expect? Fine dining represents the synthesis of high-quality produce and ingredients, the artistry and execution of the chefs, and the service of the front of the house. Such was the case during our most recent visit to Allium. In the spirit of full disclosure, this was probably our fourth visit here over the past seven years. The decor has not changed over this time (and could use a refresh, but to the uninitiated, it is fine). We settled on the 8-course tasting menu. The service included warm sourdough buns with a smoked paprika and sea salt butter. I am happy to report that this was not included in our 8 courses! I can not recall a server who moved so quickly during the presentation of our dishes. Our 1st dish was a tuna tartare (mine without coconut foam), and it was a wonderful balance of tuna, avocado, and citrus. The 2nd dish - French Onion soup was not traditional, but decadentnon the less! The broth was brimming with richness and a depth I've never experienced with this dish in the past. Excellent. The 3rd dish - oyster was not my favorite (I neglected to mention that I do not like lemongrass and it is not common in French cooking). The 4th dish - the scallops was another miss for me. Although I do not like pumpkin, I expected it to be sweeter to mate with the natural sweetness of the scallop. The 5th dish - foie gras was the best I've had in years and was an excellent execution. The 6th dish - red snapper a contrast in flavors. The sauteed fish was mated with crispy skin, stuffed eggplant, and a condensed tomato/red pepper puree. The contrast was interesting, but Im not a huge fish person. The 7th dish - wagyu tenderloin was magnificent! The bordelaise was intense, rich, and full of umami flavor that accented the beef perfectly. This was an awesome dish. The final dish in our menu was dark chocolate and orange marmalade dish with chocolate ice cream. Although I'm not a fan of orange marmalade, the ability of the chef to make me enjoy it was commendable! Merci beaucoup! Our server for the evening was Mimi. I can not recall a server being as attentive and spirited as her. She made sure that our plates were brought to the table in a timely manner without anyone in our party sitting around waiting for their food. Great job Mimi! The restaurant is spacious and you will never feel cramped. Reservations are still recommended and a peak at the current menu is a good idea.

Everything here was top quality — the food, the vibe, and the service. We tried almost the whole menu and every dish was on point. Super fresh ingredients, nice plating, and really tasty. The free-flow sparkling was smooth and kept coming. Staff were super friendly and the place was beautiful. Perfect spot to chill and treat yourself on a weekend!
