Led by Executive Chef Carlos Andrade, Mack Allen’s menu will feature seafood dishes such as oysters, sushi, sashimi, caviar, lobster and crab.
The hospitality program is led by general manager and sommelier Shaun Stockton, who has previously worked at Turner’s, The Annie Café & Bar and Emilio’s Havana.
“At Mack Allen’s, we’ll embrace a guest-first philosophy of always saying yes—yes to anything we can do to make our guests feel welcome and valued,” Stockton said. “This isn’t just about exceptional food. It’s about creating a place where hospitality leads everything and guests feel a true sense of belonging.”
