Chef Allen's, Miami, Florida, International Restaurant Details

Food:

This was a GREAT place. The price was high! But the food was great. I didn't like the salad but the New York strip and the Ribs and shrimp (you have have to de-head them) were GREAT. The wood fire makes the meat taste so good and it just melts in your mouth. It is so smooth and tender. Thank you for a GREAT evening.

Food:

We have eaten here before and enjoyed it, but this time our dinner was very disappointing. My escargot was tasteless and the bread with it was burnt black! I had to send it back. Everything we ordered was not up to the standards we expected. And our waiter was very unfriendly. What made it worse is it was a celebration dinner.

Food:

I first got to try Chef Allens thanks to Groupon. Being an FIU student, I had heard great things about Chef Allens from my professor and other members of the FIU community. Chef Allen is after all an FIU graduate.
TO be honest, the service was terrible. It took them 30 minutes to even take my order and another 45 minutes to receive my food. The food tasted okay but was definately not worth the price for the portion size.
I'm sad but glad I only paid 50% with my Groupon. I would not return.

Food:

Ingredients were fresh, presentation was great, service was very good... however both main dishes were very salty... bordering on inedible.. (i almost never have this complaint at restaurants... i like my salt...) Price was not unreasonable for South Florida.

Food:

Having Traveled Extensively and taking a quick get away to Miami for the weekend the concierge at our hotel recommended Chef Allen's to us as a great place where, "nothing goes wrong". I would say it was much better than that. The food was amazing, and the Tasting menu made for a fun experience. Combine it with a wine flight, and it makes for a spectacular experience. We would love to come back over and over again.
