We have lived in the Lehigh Valley for nearly 20 years, and I'm sorry to say it is taken us this long to try Youell's. We found the food to be excellent and the service to be friendly, prompt, and accurate. It is not an inexpensive place, but the prices are not outrageous either. They have a good selection of fresh east coast oysters displayed. Nice place.

Great atmosphere, the best seafood in the valley and they will host private events as well! 5 star is exactly what this establishment deserves!

Street parking in a residential neighborhood. You’ll get a spot within half a city block or usually closer. We get some comments about the parking, but it’s much better than downtown Allentown, Bethlehem or Easton or walking 50 yards in a shopping center.

This place is incredible

Most cases . Yes !

I'm not really sure.. Ive only been there twice. Both times that I've gone I didn't have my kids. It's very elegant there. I would say more of a date night

Sorry they dont unfortunately

Great place! AWESOME food & staff! No worries, ENJOY!

Would recommend it

The Allentown restaurant opened in 1992 to compliment the original Easton location. Prior to Youell’s in Allentown it was The Florentine Inn, The Sirloin Pub, The Ivanhoe, and Hemerly’s beginning in the 1800’s. It was a stage coach stop on Reading Road and had a boarding house next door for travelers.
