Allium is simply amazing! I loved everything about this restaurant. The food, the prices, the service, the cleanliness! From outside it does not look that nice, but inside the place is beautiful!
I went last Monday evening for Tappas. You get to try a lot of different things for $4-$12 each. I tried 5 or 6 different things and they were all very good. My favourites were creamy mushrooms on toast and the fish cakes. I had a glass of Cali Cab which was standard but good. Finished with creme brulee, which was also delicious. Overall, this was a good experience. Tasty food, decent prices, though the Tomato Salad for $9.00 was absolutely obscene for what they served. Service was very good, and the decor is inviting and intimate. I'll go back on the Tappas night next time I am in the area.
Ordered tuna rare. Dinner arrived -- after quite a long wait -- with fish suitably rare but barely luke-warm. Accompaniments were equally cool. Asked waiter to have it replaced. Plate removed and returned quite promptly. Accompaniments now hot but fish overcooked -- obviously the result of having been microwaved. Noted this to waiter who removed plate. After another long wait, dinner returned -- with all replaced and properly cooked -- after all companions had finished their main courses. Wait times were completely unacceptable; attempt to palm off microwaved (i.e., ruined) dinner even more so. Won't be back.
