Alison at Blue Bell Renovation

When Alison two opens in Ft. Washington (soon!), then we begin renovation on Alison at Blue Bell. The entire Blue Bell staff will move to the new restaurant in Ft. Washington to ensure a smooth opening. Alison at Blue Bell will be closed during the renovation, for approximately 3 months.

Alison at Blue Bell will be revamped from top to bottom -- from replacing the carpeting and painting to restructuring the tiny kitchen. And, in what is expected to be a popular move - the restaurant's electrical system will be updated so that it can accept credit cards and online reservations through Open Table.

Chef Anthony Bonett and I will continue to collaborate on the menu. When we reopen, we’ll continue our culinary journeys of the Mediterranean. (Chef Bill Lewis and I are collaborating on international fare at Alison two.) And, the small, food-friendly wine
list and selection of small-batch beer from regional breweries developed by General Manager Tom Pittakas, will be expanded.

Now is the time to hurry on in and enjoy the waning days of summer with us before the renovations begin.
