Pennsylvania Rye Company is a New American restaurant and whiskey bar located on Hamilton Street in…read moreAllentown. It's open Wednesday through Saturday from 4:00 PM to 2:00 AM and Sunday from 4:00 PM to 12:00 AM. My friend and I made our first visit early Friday evening. The service was good, and the food more than lived up to expectations. We started with tender, well-seasoned beef skewers, crispy buffalo wings over blue cheese, and perfectly cooked roasted cauliflower paired with a tasty tzatziki sauce and pickled onion. For my entree, I ordered the maple-glazed short rib. It was incredibly tender, practically melting in my mouth, and came with creamy sweet potato puree and roasted shallots. My friend ordered the rich, deeply flavorful bolognese. Although she received the small plate portion rather than the entree, it wasn't a major issue as we had more than enough food. There are still many items on the menu I'd like to try, and after such a strong first visit, I'll most certainly be back.

Yesterday, my wife and I drove up to Allentown, PA (~60 miles one way) for the main reason of…read morehaving lunch at The Shelby! When we arrived and saw that they were in a shopping mall, we were thinking about looking for somewhere else.... Boy I'm SO GLAD that we didn't! We arrived around 12:30 and they were packed - we were able to get a table outside (bar and inside dining area were too noisy for us)! Our server, Ariana O. was great! My wife enjoyed her Flamingo Fandango drink ($ 14.50) with the Torta Ahogada ($18.95) - both were delicious but the sandwich was very messy - better eaten with a knife and fork - and absolutely delicious as were their French fries that she had! I ordered the Beef "Cubano" sandwich ($ 17.95) with a side of golden beets ($ 2.00 up charge) glazed with the same horseradish sauce that was on the sandwich (Ariana's recommendation). Both were wonderful and we shared tastes of each other's items! It was worth the drive up and the impending drive back!!! We also shared a Dark Chocolate Custard pie that featured an Oreo type of crust with whipped cream and shaved dark chocolate as a topping - it tasted wonderful but I felt a little on the small size for the $ 12.95 price! All things considered, I would make the drive again to go back to experience the other items on the menu but as was suggested, I would definitely make a reservation for lunch and definitely would for dinner! FYI: their menu is seasonal so you want to view it online before you go!

On the way to Philly we wanted to stop and have a nice lunch and this place came up as a…read morerecommendation. I was initially on the fence about it since its in a shopping mall surrounded by chain restaurants and a wax salon, but I figured if it looked bad inside there was a Smashburger nearby. How wrong I was! The inside is absolutely stunning, what a beautiful space. It took a while to be seated since it was a holiday weekend but when we did we had a beautiful view of an indoor sunroom. We got the potato pierogi to start, which was fantastic, and my dish was the tofu scramble (with fruit as a side). The scramble had a surprising sweetness that was not unpleasant and was quite a large portion. Our server was great but he had a very strong and vibrant personality - which I did not care for when I first sat down and was tired and hangry, but he was great and won me over at the end, haha. Anyway, try this place, its amazing and next time I am in Allentown I will be back for sure.

The drink selection was phenomenal and the drinks themselves were well mixed. Most importantly, the food was delicious, and more than surpassed our expectations.

After watching an athletic event at nearby Lehigh University, my dining companion and I stopped in…read morefor a late dinner at ZEST bar+grille and it proved to be the perfect conclusion to our day -- with an excellent ambiance, elevated cuisine, and stellar service. It's a terrific spot in downtown Bethlehem for a cocktail, a light bite, or a full meal with both indoor and outdoor seating available. Located on the 6th floor of the Gateway Building in downtown Bethlehem, the restaurant features an inviting atmosphere alongside phenomenal panoramic views of the arts district and the historic Bethlehem Steel site. Since we arrived later in the evening, we opted to split a selection of appetizers, including the Crab & Mango Spring Rolls ($14), a small plate of three spring rolls served alongside a tasty coconut curry remoulade; Crispy Chickpeas ($9), a phenomenal, very generously-sized bowl of slightly crisped chickpeas dusted with sea salt and vegan feta cheese; Root Beer Glazed Pork ($16), an absolute standout recommended by our server -- an incredibly tender filet of pork belly glazed with root beer gastrique, served alongside a crisp red cabbage slaw and grilled bread; and Grilled Broccolini ($8), which was cooked perfectly with just a slight char and topped with a generous amount of compound butter. The kitchen definitely knows what they're doing. Beyond the exceptional food and the spectacular backdrop, what truly stood out was the hospitality. Kudos to our server, John, whose spot-on recommendations and attentive care made our late-night visit feel completely unhurried and thoroughly enjoyable. Whether you're visiting Lehigh University or Penn State Lehigh Valley, catching an event at ArtsQuest or the Wind Creek Bethlehem Resort, or simply looking for an outstanding meal with one of the best views in the Lehigh Valley, ZEST delivers on every level. Highly recommended! PRO TIP: Parking for ZEST is available at the New Street Parking Garage (@ 324 South New Street). Park on Level 3, 4, or 5 of the garage and use the covered pedestrian bridge access into the Gateway Building, then take the building elevator straight up to the 6th floor where ZEST is located. When the weather is cooperative, you can park on Level 7 of the garage and use the open-air pedestrian bridge to walk directly to ZEST. The garage is only $3, but ZEST offers a 2-hour parking validation for guests.

Our first time here & we would definitely return! We went on a Wednesday evening about 6:30pm, so…read moreit wasn't crowded and we were able to be seated right away. We had the choice of inside or outside seating. I chose outside because it was warm beautiful evening outside. And, Inside the ac is still on and I get very cold easily. I was freezing as soon as I walked in, so I easy decision for me. We had the artisanal bread app which comes with 2 different flavored butters (my favorite was the lemon/citrus one. my husband liked the green, which i think may have been a pesto but I'm not sure.). Or also came with a delicious EVOO dip. Had our Cesar salads with THE BEST croutons I've ever had! And I do not normally eat croutons because they are usually way too hard and crunchy. Seriously, these croutons were the perfect blend of crispy outside & buttery inside, seasoned perfect. Next our meals. I ordered the mushroom risotto and added a side of shrimp. Was a bit disappointed that meant i only got 2 shrimp for the extra money. They were large shrimp, but i would've preferred medium shrimp & to have a few more instead. The egg in the risotto was odd to me, so I can't comment on that as I didn't eat it. But the meal was so flavorful & delicious! My husband got the pasta special of the day- chicken parm with pasta. Expecting a boneless piece of chicken, so image his surprise that it was a chicken quarter with bones. Not bad, just unexpected. He enjoyed his food as well. Staff was attentive & service was great. The patio was nice. I was glad we were seated towards the windows because of the huge spiders that are by the seats by the edge. Overall, although expensive, great experience & we would return.

They have a little outside seating and all the way in the back is a lounge area. They are open from 12pm to 2am. We went around 7pm on a Saturday evening. FYI they do have their own parking. It wasn't that packed around that time. Their food menu is nice. So we order for drinks a Honey comb and a The Uprising as well as the Pink Dragon . The uprising is pretty much a tequila sunrise lol the only difference is they added whipped cream on top.For appetizers we order the sweet and hot wings with the bone(they have a boneless option as well). As well as the bacalaitos. For the entrees we order the surf and turf (lobster tail )mofongo with garlic sauce ugh just amazing. The other entree was white rice beans and toastones with churrasco . If you like hookah they do serve that as well let me not forget for all my sushi lovers they do have a sushi station and when I say the chef makes the sushi look so pretty you get to see it made right in front of you . The only downfall I would bring up is that gratuity is all ready included and sheeesh it's 18%. Other than that I would go again to see how the vibe is for the lounge at a later time . Oh and to get some more food because that mofongo was delicious.
