So this place was amazing family friendly. It seated a family of 10 during a special occasion it was lovely. My dish I had was a grilled salmon with peach chutney on a bed of jasmine rice and spinach. Just the chutney itself was exquisite. Compliments to the chef!!!!! Waiters are on point nice and friendly 10 out of 10 THANKS!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely delicious food. Outstanding service. Was in the area on business and found this hidden gem of a restaurant by chance. Will definitely recommend to anyone traveling to the area. Highly suggest reservations but the bar also has full service

My girlfriend took me for dinner for my Birthday. She doesn't eat seafood but knows I do and had heard good things about it. The seafood was very delicious and I enjoyed my meal. I got the broiled combo platter and added two 4oz lobster tails. I started with oysters of course. How can't you at an Oyster house? She got the NY Strip. She only eats steak well done...I know but she likes what she likes. They offered a house made steak sauce that she really enjoyed. The only problem is that they weren't close to well done on the steak temperature. She ate around the ends and enjoyed that. I got to enjoy parts of her steak that were a more acceptable temperature. We completed our meal with a creme brulee and it was so creamy and delicious. The service was good. A very pleasant meal. Thank you.

** 2/4/22.. Great experience again. Steak had great sear and perfect pink inside. Lobster fettuccine amazing, seabass cooked perfectly. Waitress was also amazing. So close to home, it's a shame I don't come here more often.. Haven't visited here since 2018 but came back for brunch. Unfortunately it was a Saturday and brunch was only done on a Sunday. Had lunch anyways. Order crab cake and mussels for apps. Both were delicious and flavorful. Paella was also wonderful, lots of seafood including lobster. The filet was tender and seasoned well but ordered it medium and it was more of medium well. Server was pleasant and attentive. I will have to try the brunch here sometime when I'm not working on a Sunday. Pricey but does not disappoint.

Is it street parking or do they have parking lot? Thank you.

Street parking in a residential neighborhood. You’ll get a spot within half a city block or usually closer. We get some comments about the parking, but it’s much better than downtown Allentown, Bethlehem or Easton or walking 50 yards in a shopping center.

I found a review that indicated that the cioppino at Youell's is very good. I don't know when that was posted; however I do not see that on the menu. My question - do you offer ciopinno?

I don't remember that being on the menu at all. This is not an Italian restaurant.

The Allentown restaurant opened in 1992 to compliment the original Easton location. Prior to Youell’s in Allentown it was The Florentine Inn, The Sirloin Pub, The Ivanhoe, and Hemerly’s beginning in the 1800’s. It was a stage coach stop on Reading Road and had a boarding house next door for travelers.
