I drove 1 hour to get to The Dime in Allentown, PA as my wife and I enjoy experiencing different dining venues and foods. I called to make a reservation but was put on hold as soon as they picked up the phone. I waited for a good 10 minutes before hanging up and just walked in after finding parking. When I arrived there at around 5pm there was a pretty good crowd in the bar area with a live DJ, Lights and all. I was looking forward for their happy hour drinks before sitting and dining. Unfortunately they told me and my wife that there was a private event at the bar area and only the restaurant menu was available. I asked if we can still order drinks from the bar for happy hour (4p-6pm) I was told we were unable to order from the bar (happy hour cocktails). So we settled for an early dinner and restaurant cocktail menu which didn’t give much options. The vibe was industrial decor and pleasant views from the third floor but nothing to really brag about. Our server “Stacy” was welcoming and friendly plus attentive and hospitable. The food was okay , served large portions and sharable. Drinks were good but nothing wow in my opinion. Not somewhere I would return or even recommend unless you are staying at the attached Renaissance Hotel or going to an event at the PPL Arena. I would not go out of my way again for this place especially since I didn’t feel accommodated for drinks at the bar and felt forced to dine upon arrival. It’s all about how the place makes me feel in my opinion and this place wasn’t a dime for me , no pun intended.

Really nice location and food was very good. The atmosphere is fantastic and they really put in a lot of work. The barrels and the wine bottles on the wall look very cool.

We went with a party of people and all the food came out pink or cold. I personally order Ricotta Gnocchi. It came out… Well, not what I ordered. It was bread with sauce. Not even pasta. When I asked about it, I was told, “Chiefs take on Gnocchi”. I am only writing this review to give people a heads-up to not trust any of this food.

I was here at an engagement party over the weekend. This was honestly the worst experience I’ve ever had at a restaurant. There were so many issues from start to finish that I don’t even want to write them all.

With a great bourbon list, personable service ready to go the extra mile, and a chef willing to bring interesting flavors to the menu, The Dime is a great place to leave your pretense and expectations behind. Here, you just want to sit back and enjoy. The carefully curated wine and bourbon selections make for an upscale feel in this Allentown restaurant.

Fantastic food and drinks. One of the best restaurants in the area. Comparable to NYC restaurants. We went for Valentines Day. Price fixed menu was so good. Innovative dishes: parsnip gnocchi, ginger and sweet potato purée. Chocolate covered strawberries to finish it all off. The coolest thing was the history and why it’s called the dime. See the pic.

Service behind with your server. She was spectacular. Our appetizer didn’t get devoured because our entree came too quickly. Timing needs improvement. Paid for something we didn’t get to eat

We were waiting a half hour for breakfast, and in the end, we found out the machine to make omletes is out of service. Yay! Within the half hour of waiting for ordered food, the waitress did not show much interest that our coffee cups may need to be refilled, did not ask if everything is ok and, most importantly, notify us that our order cannot be fulfilled on timely manner. After a half hour of waiting, we left hungry. Besides, our table was sticky, there was not enough sugar on the table for two people, and the waitress had an unpleasant attitude. Hope this feedback will help improve your services because this is a very nice place with a five-star view.

Late night meal. Limited entree options but enough selection not to be overwhelmed by too many menu choices. I had the crab cake with a very tasty vegetable succotash side. Excellent choice. The view from the window shows what coming up at the attached PPL Center that is attached. Monster trucks were in the Center the night I was there. Also the hotel I was staying at was attached, so I didn’t have to go outside to go to dinner.

We had a great experience here. Brought breakfast back to our room as they don’t have room service at the Renaissance at the moment. Dinner was great! Awesome environment looking out to the city center. Service was superb and food was fresh. Would be back.
