“The name Allswell reflects the restaurant’s light, positive energy. We want a place where the food is given great attention but we leave a lot of room for our kitchen to remain creative, changing the menu frequently and being influenced by local purveyors and the seasons. With this we are striving to create an unpretentious, fun place where many different people will feel free to enjoy themselves, by keeping our prices moderate and our atmosphere professional yet relaxed.”

-Chef, Nate Smith

Indeed, a great feeling of relaxation washes over the minute you step off the bustling street and into the homey and inviting vibe of Allswell gastro-pub. Particularly for the cold season, Allswell’s comforting stews, juicy chicken, thick-cut pork chops, and especially, the simply-seasoned liver and onions on toast, all hit the spot that warms the soul.

Couple a rotating menu that’s kept fresh with foraged ingredients with two bright and balanced seasonal cocktails, and you’ve got a meal like moms but better and a mixologist that beats the pants off uncle Bobby.

Ending as well as it starts, a hearty, Allswell meal leaves nothing to be desired- except a fuzzy impulse to carol, all the way home.
