We should done here more often. The food and service is always consistent. My favorite is the ahi tuna salad, wonderful!
This was our first visit to Allegro Bistro this year, and it was great! Our salads, entrees and beverages were great, and the service was excellent! We will return soon.
The food was fabulous as was the service. Happy hour cocktails were extraordinary!
I love it when the family who own the restaurant visit with the customers. They’re very nice and friendly.
The service was great! The food fantastic and the music was perfect
Mike the waiter was attentive, the food was delicious and reasonably priced. House wine was great, the bread they serve before the food is wonderful. Tiramisu was yummy!
Good selection from the menu. Mike our server was very pleasant and efficient. All of our selections were very good
Great food, great music, owner on site and very involved, very friendly
Very nice atmosphere. Food was excellent. Waiter was very attentive. We will definitely dine there again.
Great food and good atmosphere. We especially enjoy sitting outside as the noise level is not as bad as inside.
Some meals good, some so-so. Spaghetti & meatballs had one one meatball. Shrimp on salad was burned. Fish dinner just okay. Meals took at least one hour to arrive. Waitress never came back to check on us. Too long to get the checks. Will give another chance, ambiance was lovely,
We love to dine there on Monday with the Jazz group Kitt and Mike Moran. The menu is extensive and if you like Italian food it's the place to go okay

Service was great. Food was average Italian. Somewhat pricey for what was served. Nice atmosphere

We would eat in the dining room instead of the lounge. Music was too loud
We had a calamari app along with chicken marsala and shrimp scampi. They were all very good.
If service had been better, I would have given them a solid 4. Mike, our waiter, was busy leaning on a counter talking with another server, and waited too long to take our order. Then after the food was delivered he disappeared. My husband wanted more water during the meal but Mike was no where to be found. Finally, we had to signal another server that we needed our check and were ready to leave. She boxed the leftovers and took care of the check. As we were leaving Mike showed up and thanked us....too little too late. Food was good, but nothing exceptional.
The food was excellent with something for just about anyone. The ambiance was lovely with soft jazz playing in the background. We will be going back for one of the evening music sessions.
Food was terrible. Potato skins were so hard and burnt you couldn't cut through them with a fork and could only eat the potato, not the skin. They we're definitely not freshly made. Crab cake sandwich smelled terrible and fishy and sour almost, took one small bite and it was inedible, not sure if it was bad crab or mixed with something else, also was very mushy, like tuna fish. Server did not take it off the bill. When I asked to see a manager, he instead said he'd get me a free dessert. Also was annoyed I wanted friend mushrooms, which were on the menu as part of a friend munchie basket which came with clan strips, fries, etc and was told that I had to order the entire basket of friend food, couldn't have just mushrooms. Ber wasn't delivered, had to remind server. Asked for more napkins and never received. Just terrible meal out and was sorely disappointed.
Hennigans offers a wide variety of choices and I have always had excellent meals there. They are also very friendly and ensure a welcoming environment.
Dark atmosphere. Mediocre service. Odd table arrangement for dining. Average to a little above average quality of food.

We had the ahi tuna salad and it was excellent. We also had a large pizza with several toppings and it was delicious. Dennis was our server and he was the best attentive, friendly, and courteous. Would definitely come back.
The decor seemed dated. We normally eat on the deck in the summer. We had the crab dip bowl. It was bland and the bowl was not crispy. The salad would have been better with mixed green rather then shredded iceburg. My prime rib was delicious but a little overcooked. My GF had the rib, chicken, shrimp combo. The ribs were excellent fall off the bone. The fried shrimp had zero flavor.
Good food. Average service.
Feel like I wasted money coming here. Wasn’t worth the drive or money. the wings we got weren’t good at all. they were so ridiculously dry! only good thing was the shrimp.

Waitress was attentive to our needs
We waited over an hour for our sandwiches!
Nice atmosphere, prompt service, waitress remembered us from last time.

My entrée, one of the evening's features, was a chicken breast, pounded thin & encrusted with almonds and parmesan. It was about 5 1/2" in diameter and was served with my choice of a vegetable-California blend. The vegetables were overcooked enough that the colors were washed out and for $15.95, the chicken breast should have been much larger and/or thicker and included a potato of some sort. Extremely disappointed. The hostess did come over to us and asked how things were and when I told her I was disappointed in the size of the chicken, she said absolutely nothing and walked away. Not the usual food or the service we get at Hennigan's. Have eaten and bowled with the Blough family many times over the years, but never had an experience like that. On a good note, our server, Brandyn, was excellent and we ALWAYS have a good experience with him. My husband had chili and mozzarella sticks and they were fine. Unfortunately, this was a total waste of our Restaurant.com certificate.
food is good and great personal
I was giving $100 credit to use on 1 date night and was told I could only use $25 at a time with a minimum purchase of $50. The service and food was good, but date night overall was not,so great.
Wait staff was very attentive.
Very nice atmosphere and friendly staff
Waitress in training did a great job always courteous quick service
We took my parents out for lunch Sunday. Food was great, service was awesome.
Waitress was wonderful
The barbecued baby back ribs were cooked and then had the barbecue sauce put on top. My husband prefers the meat be marinated and then cooked. The flavor was just not there.
Great food. Deb our waitress made it fun and enjoyable. Would ask for her next time.
menu was not exciting. food was bland.
We were glad that Hennigan's was still open and offered such a varied menu.
Basket of munchies was not good.Not enough sauces with the munches.we got dish and had to wait for potatoes to come out??
There were not a lot of entree's. The presentation wasn't as nice as the pictures portray the restaurant. Plastic table clothes, side sauces in plastic cups with lids verses ramekins. Instant mashed potatoes served with filet?? You could tell they were trying, but just missing the boat. Peanut butter and jelly burger? Restaurant needs and overhaul inside and a new menu!
Owner very friendly and remembers us Take great care of veterans
Cindy the hostess is exceptional, seated promptly, and checked on thru out the meal, to make sure we were satisfied and having a good time.
The restaurant is nice. It would be nicer if they offered more bread and different salad dressings. The specials on the weekends are usually great choices. We love their grilled prime rib.
Good food, with live jazz. How can you go wrong
The service was LESS than average. Very disappointed.
Ate on deck, hostess (Cindy) is a superb example of what a customer service person should be, friendly, caring and professional, we enjoy dining at Hennigan's, the food is great and the service is fantastic.
THe Food is Excellent and service is very good
Food was not served hot (mine was warm, chicken was over cooked and dry and my friend's crab cakes weren't even warm, they were cool to the bite). Food was still tasty.
Server was great and she was new. Food always tastes great!
Great food! Great people!
Service was slow and not attentive. Food was low quality and bland flavor.
Waiter was very attentive and kept our drink glasses filled. Food was good and served well.
outdoor bar/seating area was a real nice atmosphere. friendly, good food, reasonable prices. Will go back!
Wait staff to forever, crab cakes soggy soggy
Kitchen was about an hour behind
Excellent service by female owner and our food was delicious. Ample servings of everything so we had to take it home. Also took home fabulous cannoli for late. Very nice atmosphere and wonderful music from the lounge area. Nice mix of couples and families.
My husband and I sat outside at the newly redone area in front of the building. It was very nice and secluded for being in front.
We waited 20 minutes for our waitress to come take our order. As I was grabbing my purse to leave a waitress from another section came over and made our night. She was fantastic! More than made up for the others neglect. Food was great too.
The waitress was very friendly and made you feel like you were family. She also came back to the table the right amount of times even though she was busy. Food was outstanding.
Crab cake was cold, small, and mushy. Salad was just chopped up lettuce with a small tomato and cuke. Chicken was not cooked enough smothered in cheap bbq sauce. Restaurant looked tired and needed a good cleaning.
food was good and staff were very friendly
Great atmosphere food and peopl
Homemade soups were great. Pizza so so.
It was moderately busy but it took an hour to get our food. My daughter was tired of sitting and waiting.
Quickly seated, awesome and attentive servers, outstanding food!
It was pretty good, but I didn't like the fact that there was a significant upcharge for getting fries instead of chips with our meal and the waitress didn't tell us there would be. She just asked which we wanted like it didn't make a difference.
The atmosphere, the service and the entrée was fabulous. We both got the prime rib and it was amazing. My boyfriend likes his rare/medium and it came out perfect for him and I've never heard him rave how well it was and how it came out perfect anywhere else! Only thing not the greatest, was the side salads..all iceburg lettuce, 1 cherry tomato and a lot of croutons.. Salad could use some spicing up.
The service was terrible. She never removed any dirty dishes which were piled on the table. They had a large party so wait time for food was extensive.
the food is great!
Owners make you feel at home. Food was very good.
Great service and excellent fresh food nicely prepared.
The waiter was awesome and the food was delicious.
The son is usually our waiter and he's amazing, so sweet.
Waiter was good
As always we very much enjoyed the quality of the food last evening the service was less desirable than what we are normally accustomed to. We received more service from the bus yell then our waiter I would hope that next time the waiter would be more attentive.
We had the best lunch ever with a very gracious server !!!!
The food is excellent Italian food . All 3 meals were great. The restaurant decor and atmosphere is fancy, inviting and warm. The staff was excellent , especially our waiter Mike. He is an attribute to the restaurant . He is a professional . Will visit again very soon
