The menu offers a variety of dishes, with some reviewers praising the tasty tacos and mac and cheese, which was described as perfect. The portions are generous, providing good value for money.

We ate here twice on our trip! It is a delightful place, great food, chef visits and brings food to the table, the wait staff are so lovely. It’s a perfect restaurant! Thank you (We are visiting from California)

We entered the restaurant around 5pm and the tables were empty except for a couple people at the bar. We were asked if we would be done eating before 7 because they had reservations pending. The bartender made an excellent drink for us. The farm to table concept was the lure to come in but the food was okay. I tried to ask for salt and pepper but my server didn't return. We asked for hot pepper sauce but it never made it to the table. It wouldn't be my first for dinner but drinks...read full review

Allegory has made my personal fav foodie list!! My favorite stop for their top notch Rueben. But of course I've had a few other of their dishes and all were very delicious. The best part is their wonderful, friendly staff. Kristen and Sarah at the helm mixing up all those exotic and wonderful drinks. I've had a different one every time I go there. I love that it is farm to table. Next time you are in Naperville try and make this restaurant part of plans for a wonderful tasty meal.
