Apollo Grill

On a Saturday night on the first weekend in February, my girlfriend and I visited Apollo Grill for the first time — finally! We were seated right away in an open format atmosphere with the best balance of light and dark. The bar across from us looked fantastic. What we noticed right from the start is how well the staff works with and for each other to bring guests the best dining experience possible. Maddie was our server. She was kind, professional, patient, and knowledgable about both food and drink on a grand scale. Her recommendations were stellar. I had a refreshing gin and basil martini as well as their beef carpaccio, which was absolutely fantastic. My girlfriend started with their beef stew, which was thick and satisfying. It was so delicious, she almost canceled her entree to have more. She went with the home cooking route and indulged in their meatloaf with green beans and mashed potatoes. Although she loved that as well, half had to come home with her, which made for an excellent lunch the next day. I went with the raw of it all and got their spectacular tuna tartare with asparagus, radish, and rice. Usually, the tuna is cut into strips but this tremendous block of gorgeous fish knocked me out. Absolutely fantastic from presentation to flavor. For dessert, we got their brownie with ice cream and this was all upper level in taste and texture. I would be shocked if their ice cream hadn't been made in-house. We loved our first experience with Apollo and we look forward to our next visit, which is hopefully sooner than later.

Delicious. We had a party of 8 and the service was timely with friendly staff. The limoncello spritz was tasty and refreshing. The crabcake was a good size and so good and the potatoes were great too and had bacon pieces which added a good taste. The lemon aoli was nice with everything on the plate. But the real star of the show was the garlic green beans. SO GOOOOD. Dont get me started on the french onion soup.. best ever. Kudos

Apollo is our absolute favorite restaurant in the valley! Always incredible service and everything on their menu is delicious! For special occasions or even just drinks and splitting apps, it is the perfect place to bring together friends and family. All staff are wonderful, last night we have Michelle as our waitress and she was terrific.

We’re so glad we finally tried Apollo Grill! I could see why it is always busy, even on a week night. Our server, Tre was fantastic and very attentive. Food came out at a reasonable pace. The highlight of the night were the desserts! Probably a top contender for desserts for restaurants in the Lehigh Valley. The only downside I would mention is that some of the apps and entrees were a bit bland. Appetizers: Calamari, Clams Casino and Fried Cauliflower Entrees: Short rib and BBQ Chipotle lamb shank

My friend and I tried a bunch of appetizers. They were all super yummy. The cocktails were delightful. And last but definitely not least was the amazing warm almond cake topped with whipped cream and ice cream. It was to die for. I would definitely go back again.

I've lived here for 18 years and always heard great things about Apollo..wr had company visit from out of town. Definitely make reservations and make them early. We had calamari, nachos with chicken and oysters. The nachos stole the show for sure. We agreed they were probably the best we've ever had. They were so good and huge. Only one issue, we had a person with a nut allergy and due to cross contamination issue, they couldn't eat the apps. For main course we had the Lamb Chop, 14 Oz. Ribeye, Linguine with clams, chicken breast with veggies , and the 13 year d had the BLT with a Lobster tail, 🤣....anyway, it was all excellent. The food was spaced accordingly, not too slow and not too fast. For the allergy, it was recommended to stay with a protein,baked potato, and a vegetable. We didnt even think about desert, we were all stuffed..Apollo is definitely worth the hype..

I really loved the atmosphere, it was perfect for a relaxing lunch/dinner with a great selection of dishes! Staff was very friendly and informed of the menu as well which was very impressive! Thank you!

Let’s just say I was not impressed! I ordered the Ahi Tuna Wrap, medium rare. There was only one piece of tuna that was actually medium rare. The other pieces were well done. They served potato chips with the sandwich. Based on the $17 charge, they could have at least given me the option for french fries. I also ordered the pumpkin pancakes. Those were ok. Again, for the price I think they should have given you a side dish. In regard to service, the waitress was nice, but she seemed a little frazzled. I am not sure if it was due to the restaurant being short staffed? The reason I am saying short staffed was due to the fact that we had to wait 25 minutes for our table outside when there were quite a few of empty tables outside. Unfortunately, I don’t think I will be coming back to Apollo Grill.

Great find and 5 stars. Second time out to Easton Pennsylvania. This restaurant was highly recommended and it met expectation. Our server Adrienne was AWESOME! very personable, made great recommendations and did not rush us. Actually all of the staff we interacted with and observed interactions with other customers were really friendly. The restaurant is extremely well run, they are constantly cleaning, vacuuming under the tables, and sanitizing the tables. We started with the scallop appetizer, lump crabmeat mac n cheese, and a special tomato based bean and chic pea soup. For mains we had three of the lunch specials. The ahi Tuna with rice and grilled asparagus, the salmon with citrus lime rice and also had grilled asparagus. We also had the grilled beef tenderloin with mashed potatoes. All of the food was exceptional. Great taste, well presented and the perfect temperature. For desert we had the Mexican chocolate and peanut butter cake, soft center chocolate cake and the cheesecake special with a creme brûlée topping. The deserts were great as well. They have al it of assorted art paintings that I believe most of that are for sale. (See my photos). The restaurant is busy and very popular. I highly recommend them and I have one friend who will be stopping in on their business trips in February to Easton. I will be beck again.

-Drinks were reasonably priced and decent 7/10 -Food was amazing, w/ the Pork Chop being out of the world best I've had. Cooked medium well, tender, and juicy. 11/10 -Beet salad was so fresh and a flavor bomb. 9/10 -The cod was good but nothing special 7/10 -Every other dish hit the spot! 8-9/10 -Great service giving us amazing insight into each dish with great specificity 10/10 -Really classy feel with unique decor

Although I'm not the biggest fan of American food, we were in the area so decided to check out Apollo Grill. The lump crab macaroni & cheese and the calamari were delicious! The cavatelli pasta was also top tier! I would suggest you steer clear of the Clams Casino (weird taste to them) and the Apollo Burger. The goat cheese on the burger was not the best and it just wasn't anything special. I only ate 1/3 of it. We ended our dinner with dessert and I would highly recommend their Soft Center Chocolate Cake! Delicious. We also had the warm pound cake which wasn't my favorite because the strawberry syrup tasted too artificial. However, the rest of the table enjoyed it!

I hadn't been here for dinner in a few years and I remembered I really liked it here so I decided to return. The atmosphere is very warm and inviting. We were seated in a nice table and our waitress brought water and took our drink order. She brought our drinks, which were nicely crafted, and I ordered some crab & asparagus soup. The soup was tasty, but could have been hotter. I then ordered some Ahi tuna for my entree. The waitress removed my soup bowl and the bread plates that were on table. I asked her if there was any bread and she told me no. I told her I was surprised. Why do you have bread plates on the table if you don't have bread? Made no sense? The entree came and was also delicious. I plan on returning soon but I'll bring my own bread.

Love this place! Great food. Really wonderful service and staff. Cool vibe and atmosphere . Definitely one of the best spots in Bethlehem.

So happy to have found this restaurant while visiting from out of town. Everything, food, service, ambiance, were impeccable. It did seem a bit loud when we entered, but we asked to sit in a quieter corner and it worked out very well.

Apollo Grill was such a pleasant surprise during my recent work trip to Bethlehem as it was the first restaurant I tried out in Pennsylvania that was actually packed and bustling which I took as a good sign since it seemed like a lot of locals were here on a Tuesday night. The restaurant is dimly lit and even though it's busy, it's not hard to hear your table talking which is a big plus in my opinion. My pet peeve is when a restaurant has poor insulation and you could barely hold a conversation and I did not have this issue at Apollo at all. The menu was so broad that it honestly took us about half an hour to finally figure out what we wanted to order but I'd say we were pretty satisfied with our selection. **Black and Bleu Tenderloin - Flavors were great but this is a HEAVY dish and I reccomend sharing. It could be salty to some so keep that in mind. **Nachos - these nachos were supersized and I wish these came out first because we would have changed our attack plan because it was a shame that we had to take it home and eat it soggy later that night. **Burrata - Our group's personal favorite of the night. The light and fresh buratta paired with that aged balsamic and bacon/crispy prosciutto was divine. We could have put down 5 more of these each. A MUST TRY dish! **Baked Brie en Croute - This felt like a very elevated cheese and crackers meal and was oh so comforting. It honestly reminded me of a deconstructed apple pie in a weird way when you eat the cracker with the baked brie, thinly sliced green apple, and caramel. **Farfalle w/ Chicken - Nothing much to say other than it was a solid pasta dish with great textures. Adding chicken to this dish was such a great move in my opinion. **Catch of the Day - I was too full to try the fish but the hush puppies that it came with was solid! **Lettuce Wraps - Our group's least favorite dish and we wouldn't order this again. It's not bad but the meat just seemed like a very bad bulgolgi instead of beef short ribs. There was no wow factor to these either. Overall, Apollo is a great place to grab dinner with a group of friends and the menu is so vast that you honestly can't go wrong. If I ever make another trip out to Bethlehem, Apollo is a definite revisit for me!

If I lived here, this would be my spot! The staff knew their regulars by name and drink! We don't live here but they had good reviews so.... The wait: All of the tables were reserved. We had to give the bartenders our name and when seats opened up, the next person on the list was seated. Very good system. The wait was about 20-30 minutes. The food and drink: Old fashioned and Hot Toddy: 5/5 Nachos: They were so good. The tortillas were crispy and thick. They were able to handle the toppings. It was huge!!! Two people can't finish this unless this is your only meal. It didn't have jalapenos and the guacamole was just okay. However, it's still a solid 4.5/5 Wings: The bartender said she liked the wings mixed with buffalo and honey garlic (I think) so tried them. Delicious. The chicken was cooked nicely then tossed in the sauce. 5/5 Crab cakes: All Crab! Barely any filling. The potatoes and green beans were excellent. My GF said it was excellent. I don't eat crab so I'll take her word for it. 5/5 She also ordered bread pudding which she hasn't tasted yet but she said she is sure it's going to be good. The bill was $114. It was worth every penny

Great food and ambiance. Parking is à little difficult. And after eating you can stroll down main street

Really neat neighborhood place...artistic, chic, happening. Glad I checked Yelp. Enjoyed everything, service very good, people friendly...

The food was awesome, Even though it was a Very busy Friday night the server was very attentive and did a great job taking care of us.

Passing thru Bethlehem on our way somewhere else and stopped here for lunch. My wife had been here once before. Downtown Bethlehem is actually a really cool little town. I definitely recommend coming here to stroll the small shops and stores and grabbing a bite while here. The ambiance at the Apollo is modern and casual but super inviting. Especially the bar. Great vibe. Menu was unique and very creative. It was only one page but a great great selection of offerings. One of those menus where every item I perused I said " Ooo I want that". Toughest part was deciding what to get. Speaking of creative, they rolled out a fall martini flight . 3 small martinis hanging from a martini glass tree. We didn't get it but major props for creativity. I got the Thai chicken wrap. Very good. We had beef carpaccio appie. Wings. Everything was really really good. The food here is obviously plus plus so I won't go on about it. The staff was up beat, friendly and high energy. The staff enjoyed working here and you could tell as good vibes permeated the atmosphere. I can't wait to come back for dinner. Make the trip to Apollo in Bethlehem for the great town scene and very good eats. Based on my experience here, I'd have to rate them a 5.

The best in the area!! From their food to their staff. Date nights, anniversaries and birthdays are always celebrated here! We won't go anywhere else.

This was another yelp find and we were really happy with our experience. The food was really good overall, the service was very friendly and personable and we really enjoyed our visit. My husband wanted to order a soup and was chatting with the waitress about the options. He was thinking of the cream of potato but upon the waitress' and a fellow nearby diner's recommendation switched to the french onion and was very pleased. I also was blown away, I don't generally enjoy french onion soup, except for the cheese, but this was delicious. I don't usually love the soggy bread but they must use a thick fresh crusty slice because it had a slight crunch to it and was tasty. The cheese as always was delicious and the broth was thick and full of onions. It really was the best i've tasted. My husband and I chose to share 2 sandwiches. He ordered the spare rib sandwich and I the brisket. The spare rib was noticably the better of the 2, melt in your mouth meat, and good flavor on a perfectly toasted slice of bread. The brisket was good, and had good flavoring, unfortunately it was very fatty which ruined it a bit. We were there for an early dinner and unfortunately there dinner menu items weren't available, but we heard good things from nearby customers about their seafood and dinner options. Overall though we enjoyed our experience and would definitely be up for stopping back again next time in the area.

Great local bar/restaurant. Huge menu that accommodates whatever you're in the mood for. Love the bar service!

Always great food; great service; comfortable seating; wonderful ambiance. Can't wait to return. Love the Chilled Udon salad with seared ahi tuna. Large enough portion for me as an entree, especially since it included edamame and a nice amount of tuna. I asked for the sauce on the side and it worked well. The sauce includes soy sauce so it's somewhat salty.

Loved my lunch stop in downtown Bethlehem. I dined on the sidewalk on a perfect weather Thursday afternoon. My server was excellent. They have an interesting menu & their oysters on the half shell & craft cocktail selection is what made me stop here. I had 6 delicious pacific oysters, they make their own mignonette. I had the ahi tuna poke bowl appetizer (definitely large enough for lunch for one or app for two) & my server suggested I add avocado which was perfect. I had their gin and tonic, which was delicious, because it had elderflower liquor in it, and a sprig of rosemary. Recommend this place.

Great food and service. Friendly staff all at a reasonable prices. Unrushed atmosphere

Just popped into this restaurant for dinner around 6:30pm and it was packed. Hostess asked if we had reservations (did not) and gave us choice, wait outside, wait at the bar OR take a table by the kitchen door. We chose the table near the kitchen door. This was my second visit to this restaurant and it will not be my last. Ambience was superb. Food was great and the service was extraordinary. Glad we were given the choice for the table, but we probably still would have waited.

Food isn't good for the price you pay. I also need a liquid to swallow and the waitress never came back except to bring the check. Every year this place gets top prize and I don't know why. The Bay Leaf was the best but few went there because it was in Allentown. Pass this place.

This place was absolutely packed on the Friday night I visited. Nice atmosphere, but they make use of every inch of the dining room. Because they were so busy, the service wasn't great. And the halibut I ordered didn't blow me away as it was a bit on the dry side. Next time, I will try to come on a less busy evening and maybe I will enjoy it more?

Long time huge fan of Apollo. Food is always great, drinks fabulous will always customize what you want. Catch of the day fish are always to die for. However, service occasionally , like last night, seems as though wait people get too many tables at once. Sometimes tend to overly cater to larger groups than 2. Once finished our fill, waited 25 to 30 minutes to get attention to just get our food wrapped up. Wanted dessert but was too annoyed to stay longer.

Came for a late lunch with some colleagues and it was a bit empty, mostly because it was very late for lunch. I just had a CAESAR SALAD, but for the table we ordered the BAKED BRIE EN CROUTE and the GRILLED BURRATA TOAST which is always nice to share. Service was lovely and the food was good. ENJOY!

Great spot. It's a little spotty when it comes to service but I will say that you should sit at the bar in the early lunch bc then it's not too busy and the people working are USUALLY friendly. I really enjoy the food. The ambience is lacking to say the least. They have 'artwork' hanging everywhere that is SO overpriced and I am a freaking ARTIST. Like a real artist so when I say something is overpriced, it is. The food is good. That's why they get 3 stars. My humblest regards k.david

My husband, daughter and I visited the Apollo Grill on Saturday, September 21st. The food was delicious! (burrata app, Caesar salad, specialty pizza, fish of the day and cheese cake dessert) As good as the food was, the service was even better. It was extremely busy as it was a Saturday night and family weekend at a local university. We went in without reservations knowing we may not be able to be seated. The hostess was more than accommodating and was able to find us a table with very little wait time. Our waiter, Daniel, was fantastic - so friendly, adding a bit of humor and being there when we needed him without being overbearing. We will definitely go back the next time we're in Bethlehem.

Good food and ambience, good service and family oriented.nice place to take friends and relatives to lunch or dinner.

Great ambiance ! Quiet, friendly atmosphere . Lots of appetizers from which to choose, as well as desserts!

One of my favorite spots in Bethlehem. This time didn't disappoint!!! Yum I ordered lamb chops with mushroom risotto (delicious), and asparagus. Lots of food was ordered for the table... Nachos, shrimp Toast, crab and avocado in lime butter and we ended with pecan pie cheesecake!!! So flavorful!!! Until next time!!!

One of my favorite casual spots in Bethlehem. Food, drinks, and service are always great and relatively affordable. They are very accommodating and go out of their way to make sure you leave happy. Just about every time I've visited, they brought out something complimentary for us to "try". Not sure if it's just a coincidence it happened to me multiple times, or if they do it routinely. I've been here for brunch, lunch, and dinner and will most definitely be back plenty more times.

Relaxed atmosphere! Superb dining! Quench your thirst with endless selections from the drink list. Service was excellent! Seems like everyone is involved c pleading the guests!

Love their martinis! Love the atmosphere. food and service was also great. Definitely go early before it gets packed.

Outside of the prices being slightly high, this is a great place. I got the cavatappi with veggies and a garlic cream sauce, which was delicious. My friend got the pizza and liked it a lot. I like that they decorate with and sell local artists' work. The service was just fine. If the prices were a little lower I could see myself coming here quite often.

This food is simply not good. They have absolutely no business having butter chicken, Moroccan lamb, limoncello shrimp, and ahi tuna on the same menu. Please pick a lane!!! Shrimp was weird. Salad was so wet that the dressing got washed away. Lettuce wraps??? Why did I even order these?? They were so so so bad. Based on the ambiance of the place, the only entree I felt safe ordering was the burger and it was fine. Would rate the burger a 4.7/10. Chips that came with the burger was Herr's for sure. Do not go here Why have they not updated it in 40 years? Why do they serve those martini towers like it's 1994? :/

The waiter Allison was really nice, the pregnant lady that seat us told us since were a walk in that if we can eat in an hour she could seat us. We did feel a bit rush but the food and drinks were on point!

Service outstanding and unusual menu options cheerful service convenient parking across street .

We went for lunch, which was a bit of a wait without a reservation. The server was really friendly. Food was good for lunch! I'd like to come back and try different foods for dinner next time.

Delicious menu items....impeccable service....excellent price points....highly recommended!!!

Great place in downtown Bethlehem! Met a co-worker here for lunch & we enjoyed our meals. I got the beef carpaccio & he got a sandwich. Menu is extensive & it's easy to find something to enjoy. They have a couple of tables outside but not really appealing to sit out there. Parking was not too bad as there is a parking garage right around the corner.

Checked out Bethlehem on a Friday night as my husband and I are new to the Lehigh Valley area. We parked at a nearby parking garage and made our way towards downtown Bethlehem. We decided to stop by Apollo Grill since the Yelp reviews were pretty high! Even though the restaurant was busy, we were seated right away. For drinks, we started off with the Strawberry Basil Lemonade martini and my husband ordered the Old Fashioned. The martini was delicious and not super strong. The Old Fashioned came with a surprise bacon on top. For entrees, we ordered the Sesame Crusted Ahi Tuna, Short Ribs, and Moroccan Braised Lamb Shank. The ahi tuna was absolutely amazing! The rice was sweet and the asparagus balanced out the meal so well. The radish could have been marinated in vinegar for a bit longer but the dish was still topnotch! The short ribs was probably one of the best short ribs I have ever had in my life. It was super tender and the cauliflower grits were sweet! The string beans had a hint of lemon so all the flavors of the dishes blended very well together. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the lamb. The meat was fall-off-the-bone tender. He had so much lamb that it was enjoyed as a second meal the next day. For dessert, we had their special mango rice pudding topped with whipped cream and coconut shavings. The mango was sour but the rice pudding was sweet. Also very nice balance. To top it off, the service here was excellent! I have absolutely enjoyed everything about this place and would hands down recommend to anyone coming into downtown Bethlehem!

This place never disappoints!! I've had lunch and dinner here, and it's always great. Some of my faves are the Black & Blue Tenderloin, French Onion Soup, Chilled Asian Udon Noodle, and Cobb Salad. They have a great cocktail menu as well. Service has also always been fantastic. I definitely recommend this restaurant!

It's been quite awhile since I've had the pleasure of dining here, but the last time i was there the pumpkin soup was AMAZING!!

Everyone working there was very friendly and fantastic. I had the lettuce roll the crab and asparagus brusque and rib tips sandwich. All were brilliant and sets a new standard for me

Delicious lunch in Bethlehem! We got there right as they opened which is good since they filled up quickly. Next time we will make a reservation. The food was delicious and the servers and staff were friendly. There were several large parties going and everyone seemed to be happy and getting served quickly.

Beautiful ambiance and friendly staff. The food was wonderful. My husband and I will definitely be coming back!

I've traveled quite a bit and Apollo is by far the place my favorite restaurant. The food is incredible and the service is above all else. Bravo!

Not bad. One of the very few okay places to eat in the city of Bethlehem. Sadly, they don't take reservations online and who has time to make phone calls. I don't bother coming here because I don't have time to keep calling for reservations, and they are typically booked since they are one of the only restaurants in the town that are actually not too bad. The food was decent, but quite honestly NYC is so close I'd rather drive there because there are a million places like this or better where you don't have to make a phone call and wait three weeks for a table. I haven't been back.

Small, upscale restaurant with limited menu but all meals are superb. Worth making the reservation. Never heard a complaint from my family or friends.

I've been going to this restaurant since it opened and the food is always amazing ! The staff is awesome , kind , courteous and very professional! The lobster ravioli and black and blue are my favorites . The new menu item the pulled pork sandwich is out of this world!

Spending a couple of nights the Historic District of Bethlehem, PA and every site has Apollo Grill as the best place to go.....well I can't argue, the consensus has it correct! Apollo has a diverse selection of specialty drinks, appetizers & small shareable pizzas that all seem better than the next! I loved the crab & asparagus bisque & my wife said the French Onion soup was THE BEST she ever had! Both of our entrees, braised short ribs & bbq lamb shank were fall onto the fork delicious!
