Allred's

My first impression of Allred's was at the host stand, where we encountered a not so friendly hostess. I hate starting my review this way, but it had me worried about how the rest of the evening would go. We arrived a little before our reservation time and wanted to check in with her to let her know we would be going to the bar to order a couple of drinks while we wait for the table/rest of the party to arrive. We were part of a larger party, but only a few of us had arrived at this point and she kept insisting we can't go to the bar because we won't fit- despite repeatedly telling her it was just a few of us, not the entire dinner party. If she had just listened I think we could have gotten on the same page, but she was persistent and unfriendly. Thankfully we were quickly sat and our server helped us order a few bottles of wine. After that encounter, the rest of our experience at Allred's was great for our family. To start, they accommodated our large party of 19 with ease- split between two tables. I was personally dining with two young children and the server did a great job helping with expediting the 3 year old's plate so that she could start eating before the first course was served to the adults. The waitstaff was very knowledgeable on dietary allergens and helped me navigate ordering my meal GF (celiac). I had read other reviews on the Find Me Gluten Free app that they used to offer gluten free bread, but I was not offered any. I would love to see that option come back because it felt like I had lots of second course options, but sat empty handed during much of the beginning of the meal as bread was passed around. The dinner was wonderful- almost everyone at the table ordered some form of meat and enjoyed it. I ordered the filet with scallops and it was cooked to perfection. And the view of the mountains was hard to beat!
