The restaurant features a revamped menu, with a few touches of your familiar favorites. For now, the restaurant will be open for dinner on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights only.

And check out Chef Alison Barshak's new restaurant, Alison Two!

Cuisine

Chef Alison Barshak is known for incorporating flavors, ingredients and techniques from her travels into the ever-changing selection of dishes at her eponymous bistro. The restaurant’s contemporary American cuisine has Mediterranean, Southwestern and Asian influences — among others — with an emphasis on seafood.

The revised menu also reflects Chef Anthony Bonett's Italian heritage, placing a focus on Mediterranean fare and fresh pasta. A delicious new appetizer is the Spanish octopus in smoked paprika aioli, while entrees include pork chop Milanese with mozzarella and arugula salad; shellfish risotto with toasted almonds; and rock shrimp with potato and goat cheese ravioli.

The menu of homemade desserts includes fig and raspberry tart served with homemade honey semifreddo and peach crisp. Desserts are made fresh daily.

Atmosphere

The atmosphere at Alison at Blue Bell is warm and friendly. It is not unusual to find guests visiting friends at other tables, meeting the people at the next table and offering them a glass of wine, or sharing confidences about favorite appetizers.

Alison at Blue Bell serves a small, food-friendly list of liquors including wines, peach sangria and beer. The carefully-selected wine list includes four reds, four whites, a champagne and a sparkling wine. Guests are also welcome to bring their own bottle, for a $5 corkage fee.
