My husband had the scallop gnocchi truffle entree but it was so good that he would only give me a couple of tastes. We had to go back a second time so I could order it. And I love your desserts - my favorite at your first restaurant is the chocolate pot de creme - I was happy to find it on the menu at your new place. How nice to have such a hip, new restaurant in the neighborhood so we don't have to schlep to Center City (and for pay parking) when we want good meal!

I fell so in love with your cooking, I made sure every birthday, every friend, and every out-of-town guest we hosted had a place at your table. In the last year among my friends and I, you stopped being just a chef and also became a friend. We stopped saying, "Should we make a reservation at Alison at Blue Bell?" and started saying, "Let's go to Alison's!" Once my husband dropped his napkin on the floor as you were walking by and you handed it back to him. It became a running joke among us, as we would always remind him to try and not make the owner pick up after him this time. :) Our most recent visit was this past August, to celebrate the fact that a dear friend made it through the 3 day PA/NJ Bar Exam (alive!) We had already made our reservations to be at AlisonTwo on Friday, October 24, and today she found out that she passed, so it will be even more of a celebration! We are so excited to be joining you again in your new place! However, I have to admit, I am missing the old stomping ground! When you re-open, I will be one of the first to make a reservation! A million thank-yous for the amazing food you bring so close to home! Mary Recker Setzer When my (now) husband and I moved to Blue Bell 3 years ago, your restaurant was the first we tried.

The bar is now open. Tom is mixing some awesome cocktails & the the first wine list is finished. We're excited about everything but the wine system is especially exciting. 6 reds & 6 whites by the glass with programmable pours which allow a perfectly measured glass each time - a taste, half a glass or full glass. We've already had a few guests watching the debate & the Phillies games in the lounge while enjoying Tuna Sliders, Charmoula Rubbed Lamb Loin Chop and Corn Bisque from Bill's bar menu. Come on in. We open for dinner starting 10/16 and for lunch starting 10/27. Can't wait to see you! Alison Chuck: If you like the outside – wait until you see the inside! The bar is

Are we able to stop in at the bar before the 16th? Also, when can we call in to make reservations? Watching the building transform, on this site and driving by, has been great.

Yes, we have a private dining room. It’s a perfect place for your rehearsal dinner. It seats up to 55 or can be divided into two smaller rooms. It has a private bar and a “living room” that is great pre- or post-function space. Give me a call at 215/591-0200 to set up a tour. Alison Angie: Congrats on your engagement.
