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.

In the area for work and it's dinner time! I did some Yelp'ing and ultimately landed on a nearby…read morespot with a high rating! I know nothing about this place and the pictures looked good, so here's how things went at Notch Modern Kitchen & Bar! Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right off of a semi-main road is this gem. It looks like nice house from the road, but once you pull into the driveway and go around the back you'll see a private parking lot and the main entrance. Once inside you're just welcomed by moderately high ceilings, wide open spaces, intimate lighting and soft music. This place felt so modern, up-to-date and comfortable. It was a Monday in July at 7:00pm but the restaurant wasn't busy. I didn't mind so my co-worker and I sat at the bar. Service: I can't remember the name of the gentlemen who took care of us, but we had no issues whatsoever. I really gotta start writing down the names of folks who take care of me. Sorry guy. Food: First up were the Buffalo Egg Rolls which consist of tender braised chicken, Frank's hot sauce, smoked gouda, cream cheese, and ranch. These were hot, crispy, flavorful and definitely hit the spot. Next up were the Notch Confit Chicken Wings which are slow-braised in duck fat then flash fried and served with house ranch dressing and choice of sauce. We chose Bobby's BBQ Secret Sauce which was rich, hearty, peppery with a low-level of spice. The wings themselves were juicy, CRAZY CRISPY and quite sizeable. I was a big fan of these. For my entree I went with the Pad See Ew which is pan-fried wide rice noodles, with broccoli, egg, peas, snow peas, garlic, and carrots with a light and sweet soybean sauce. It was delicious, tender, juicy, not too heavy and I really liked it! I was actually really surprised me with how Thai-focused this restaurant was and how well everything was executed! Value: Buffalo Egg Rolls = $16.00 (3 cut in 1/2 yield 6 pieces.) Notch Confit Chicken Wings = $17.00 (8 pieces.) Pad See Ew = $18.00 For the quality and atmosphere that this place exhibits, it's totally worth the money here and I'd 100% come back to try out some more things! In conclusion, I loved it here, it's well-deserving of its high Yelp rating and I look forward to revisiting in the future!

I went into this blind. Did not check the menu before hand so I was not sure what to expect. The…read morerestaurant was very modern and had a sophisticated flare to it while still staying family friendly. I started with the lobster roll bao buns. Creamy lobster on top of nori inside of a light and fluffy bun. It was a fun twist on a classic bite. For the main I ordered the wagyu burger. I ordered it rare and it was not the right call. The burger was so thick that it didn't get a great sear on the outside and was falling apart. I did hear a waitress recommend medium well due to the size and I would definitely suggest that to anyone who tries it. It had a great flavor so I would still recommend you try it. I also ordered the notch fried rice bowl. Chinese sausage, pork belly, peas, carrots, bell peppers, tomatoes, garlic, broccoli, egg, bean sprouts, togarashi spice, and topped with a dippy egg. This dish was savory, Asian fusion cuisine mixed with something that felt like comfort food. If you go here, this is what I would recommend you try, but their whole menu looked incredible. This is a spot you need to add to your list of places to check out.

Friend had chicken alfredo fettuccine with garlic bread and broccoli for lunch.

If I could give a 0 star rating, I would. I took my girlfriend to eat and see A band that was…read moreplaying here and the staff was straight up disrespectful to the band. First, there were rain and thunderstorms in the area the entire night before they played, but instead of moving inside they stuck them outside because the rain was "going to stop" according to the owners. Secondly, the owners rudely walked up to the band and cut them off in the middle of 4 straight songs due to them apparently being too loud. From where we were sitting, the band actually sounded great and had pretty low volume compared to other bands I've heard. Several other customers around us and people watching them perform were visibly frustrated and appalled at the way the band was treated. The bottom line is, If you have a noise issue, don't have bands. On top of all this the service down by the pavilion was miserable. Nobody was waiting tables or asking people if they would like to eat, and the tables were very dirty. And the food is very bad and quite expensive. My girlfriend got sick from the food she ordered. Please do not make the mistake of bringing a band hear or eating here.

We got chicken fingers and fries for our daughter, I had the boneless wings with the Hot N Honey sauce and a side of sweet potato fries, and my wife had the fettuccine Alfredo. Everything was delicious. We also tried the blueberry lemon margaritas, which were excellent. Our server was Lucas or Logan -- apologies, I'm terrible with names -- and we were shocked when we found out it was only his third day. He was honestly one of the best servers we've had anywhere. He was extremely attentive, quick with everything, friendly, and genuinely made us feel welcome. You would never have guessed he was brand new. The history of the place is also incredibly cool and ended up sending us down a whole rabbit hole afterward. Knowing how old the building is and how much local history is tied to it made the atmosphere even more interesting. Between the great food, drinks, history, atmosphere, and fantastic service, this ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. We'll absolutely be back the next time we're in the area!

We also had some amazing drinks that were very unique including a peach margarita, and a watermelon Krush. The service was extremely fast, friendly and consistent. The final cherry on top was the vibe, it gave off an old school Irish sport bar theme with a very warm atmosphere with dim lights and old timey signs. I would totally recommend pjs to anyone.

The muscles tasted fresh and properly cleaned, no gritty off-putting texture that you sometimes find in this style dish. The white wine was the star of the sauce and was hinted with butter and garlic. Service: The waiter was attentive and kept the drinks full. The meal came out quickly with a minimum wait. Ambiance: This was a true pizza shop ambiance. Booth and floor were both sticky. Bar was full, and sports games playing on the TVs. Value: This dish was considered one of their specialty appetizers. It was a good size for the price and the price was fair considering that this was a seafood dish. Recommend: Absolutely. If you are looking for a pizza spot for subs, cheap beer, and a place to watch the game, this is your spot. I would encourage you to go outside the box and order off their specials menu!

Overall - (4.25/5)…read more Service (1/1) - I don't often start with service in my review but it's worth starting off here for a good reason. The server was very well informed on the dishes and recommendations on the drinks that paired well with my meal. They were very attentive and always ready to assist when we needed anything. They provided a fun time for me and my family. They are one of the main drivers for me giving a high rating for this place. To the owners, your servers are amazing; they definitely need the recognition. Setting (0.75/1) - overall, the sitting is really inviting. The modern table and chairs help create a very open vibe and showcase the art pieces on the wall. It also allows for the view to the bar and servers so they can come by when we needed them. I couldn't give full points yet as they were missing a proper signage on the outside. We were a bit confused on the location as it's inside Delta Hotel. Once we came closer to the hotel, we saw a banner with the restaurant name. This can be improved further with a permanent signage that can show customers the way to the restaurant from all the way from outside streets as it's really tucked away behind other businesses. Food (1.5/2) - the food felt fresh apart from just few things. The pani puri was top notch, guava spicy water was the highlight for both me and my wife. Really well spiced and a hint of guava combined well with the alternative mint flavored water. Each shot was taking me back to the streets of India. I would come back just for this combination again. However, after having the spiciest food first meant that I did feel rest of the food was under spiced. Thecha paneer was good. The sauce paired well with the tandoor paneer but it can have more spices for sure. The paneer angara was also again good but felt can have more heat to it. But I still enjoyed it well with the butter naan that is eggless. Now for the parts that can improve. The spinach artichoke dip didn't feel fresh or authentic. Kids liked it but to me it felt grainy and cold. The fries were normal. Nothing bad about it but nothing great either. Lastly, the avocado chaat is a great concept and I would have enjoyed it more had it not been for it being over seasoned with salt. There was just too much salt there. Drinks (1/1) - I forgot the name of the drink but it was really awesome. I'd like to try their other mixes for sure next time. Overall, I enjoyed my meal with my family. Even though it felt weird to think I might be in the wrong place, I would come by here next time. Props to the chef and servers who took care of us really well.
