    Wedge salad w/ grilled chicken

    My husband and I ate and drank here before a concert at the PPL center. We went as walk in's and were lucky to get a 2-top on the first floor but I recommend reservations if you want a definite seat! Food was fine but underwhelming for the hype- hubby ordered a burger, which was nothing special for an upscale, "scratch made" kitchen.. I had a wedge salad with added grilled chicken. It was really good but would have been easier to eat on a bigger plate. Great drink selection! Will be back if we're in the area.

    This place is insanely good and so worth a visit. Everything we got from whiskey flights, cocktails, small plates, and entrees were phenomenal. There was not a bad bite to be had. Service was fantastic. We showed up earlier on a Saturday night and they got us seated without a reservation, but as we left the place was very busy. So if you can, I'd recommend a reservation but don't let it stop you from dropping in if you don't.

    Food was solid. Service was good. I appreciated the creativity in the dishes. We were there early and I would like to see how it felt when it's hopping.

    Had made reservations for a quick dinner and cocktails at PA Rye Co - highly recommend the same and were seated on a wonderful eight person table after being warmly greeted by a very friendly Jesse, who later on also helped us get some excellent wine from the Bottle Co. Our friendly server Kyle ensured that we got everything to our liking and was friendly and polite! We ordered a few cocktails and for food, we got the Roasted Cauliflower ($10), Pesto Arancini ($12), Stroganoff ($18), and Butternut Squash Risotto ($15). Food was absolutely delicious and the Butternut Squash Risotto was the tastiest dish on our table. Service was excellent, and food arrived within 25-minutes of ordering. Noise levels were on the lower end, and the festive decorations definitely helped set the mood! Overall, we had a very good experience, and will highly recommend this place to friends and family!

    Absolutely phenomenal!!! Love the industrial interior and ambiance. It may look small, but definitely packs a big punch to it. There are additional upstairs and back room accommodations, but we (4) took one of the 4 tables in front next to the bar. The staffs were very attentive and took care of us. Our table of4 became a table of 6! Bumped into some friends and we made a party out of it. I personally loved all the china wares, because they were all very unique and it looked like it came out of someone's grandma's kitchen. Loved it! The dishes were even more incredible. Our friends have been here before, so they know it was good stuff. I was recommended with the Bolognese dish and I ordered it! Fellow Yelpers and my friend said it's good, then I believe it's good and it was!! Delish! I should have, though, ordered the half portion. It was way too much food for me, but luckily my boyfriend only had a beet salad (seriously for a big guy, a salad and me a giant plate of Bolognese lol) finished the rest for me. We make a great team. Everybody else enjoyed their Crab Raviolo, Grilled Octopus, more beet salad (must be good!), and pork chop. Would love to come back here again, my boyfriend even requested to go again for lunch and dinner, but they were closed on Monday =( AND we don't live here. Poops. Next time when we are back in town!

    Salmon orange and fennel salad, risotto.

    Great ambience, service and food quality. The short ribs were perfect. Salmon delicious, specialty cocktails on point. Highly recommend.

    Steak, potatoes, asparagus

    This place was awesome! The downstairs area has the bar and some small tables and upstairs is the dining area. Everything is dark wood and gives a great atmosphere of both a classic cocktail bar and classy restaurant. They are a scratch kitchen, so they do everything on the menu in house from butchering the meat to making pasta to making potato chips. Our waiter emphasized it when he explained the menu. He also went over the whiskey menu, explained how their flights work, and how they had some rare whiskeys at the moment. He was not pushy about anything and was able to recommend wine and beer just as much as whiskey. They had a great tap and wine list, which is what our group of five ordered from. The food was excellent! We had Brussel Sprouts, Onion Dip, and Edamame for appetizers. For dinner, we had Bolognese, Salmon, Steak, Short Ribs, and the Cheesesteak. Everything all around was fantastic. We had ample time between appetizers and entrees. We had a birthday cake at home so no desserts at the restaurant, but I did order an espresso, which they use beans roasted in house so another plus! This was an all around great restaurant and great experience. Highly recommended for food and for drinks!

They had plenty of servers who knew their stuff and the ambiance is a darker sports lounge vibe. Love's menu is quite eclectic as they traverse the food landscapes of "American", Hispanic, and Asian. Their sushi bar looks interesting- I look forward to trying it when I return and I'll update my review accordingly. I was surprised how empty the place was on a weekend night- I hope they can survive and thrive as a fresh hangout on the East side.

    Hey everyone so I decided to try this new spot in Allentown call Love's Lounge. I think it's been…read moreopen for about a year. The waitress is nice and very attentive. 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.

I mentioned this and was told that's because many of the same craftsmen worked on this place too. Made me feel smart! If you go. Do yourself a favor and walk around a bit. The food was very tasty I think it is the only restaurant I've been in locally that didn't use excessive amounts of salt. A big plus. The mixed drinks were interesting and reasonably strong. I usually quaff mine down fairly rapidly, savoring the buzz during dinner and still safely driving home after. I had potato soup, which was very good, and Ming had Beet Carpaccio, which was thinly sliced seared root veggies with seasoning. I only had a bite because she wanted it all! Then came dinner. I had the ribeye, which was done so that it was seared one the outside to keep the flavor in and red (while being cooked thru, not an easy feat) and it's was flavored but not overly salty, were unusual. I ordered my usual Worcestershire sauce to clean off the extra salt, but hardly used any. Ming had the crab cake, which was the only negative of the meal. While not overtired or salty, there was a bit of a fishy smell. Not terrible, but off putting. Luckily for me, I don't like crab anyway so I didn't have any. The desserts were good, with a tasty chocolate cake and a peach cobbler that was good but could have had a bit of peach goo to moisten it a bit. The prices were very competitive considering the venue AND the quality of the food. The bar was hopping too because it looked like a great place to hang out with friends!

    Update on Nov 30, 2025…read more We have once again stayed at this beautiful place and am in awe with their attention to details and the lovely holiday decor. We stayed in the premier king with soaking tub room and everything is described to perfection from the spacious bathroom with the soaking tub to the separate get ready changing room. The overall room and establishment decor is one thing, but what elevates this establishment are the personal human connections with the attentive staffs. A huge shoutout to both Sundiata and Lou for their graciousness and hospitality skills. They along with the restaurant bartender tonight, Ashlynn, continue to make us feel like a home away from home. Having been here a few times and been to their restaurant, we highly recommend this place to both locals and visitors.

The restaurant is beautifully decorated and has a great atmosphere. I was surprised by how few tables there were though. The bar was more crowded than the dining room, which felt a little odd for 7pm prime dinner time. Service was excellent across the board. The host, our server, the manager, and the food runner were all friendly and attentive. The menu is perfect for sharing plates. The hamachi jalapeño with ponzu was fantastic, and one of the best bites of the night was the blue crab temaki taco. The food was pretty great overall, but at this price point I expected everything to be elevated just a bit more. If prices were about 20% lower, I think they'd really hit the mark. Honestly, that might be why the dining room wasn't full at 7pm on a Thursday. People want great service, a nice atmosphere, and reasonable prices. Here you get two out of three.
