    It has been a while since we were at Alobar. Both dishes and service have improved significantly which is great news. Had cocktails and beautiful seafood. It was very loud at the resto due to the low ceiling but that’s the only downside.

    The service and food quality is absolutely amazing. My wife and I have been trying to get reservations for years and finally we were successful on the evening of our 35th Anniversary. From the Hostess to the servers Adam, Godwin and the AGM Johann, everyone were super attentive and provided great input about the menu options chosen. The Steak Tarta & French onion Soup, both developed tastefully with the perfect combination of herbs & spices and creatively presented. The Brome Lake Duck and poached pear a perfect combination of sweet and acid complementing the tender meat of the pine- glazed Duck. The Lamb Rack, tender and tastefully matched with the white port jus and charred broccoli, made for a mouth watering pallet. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening and ended it with a rich cappuccino and Black Forest gâteau which we romantically shared and now look forward to our next visit, hopefully soon.

    Love, love, Loved! Every review I read about this place was spot on. Love the retro vibe, the music selection, the wine, the food. The service! Also the decor just topped it off for me! It’s the kind of place you want to go and tell your friends about it. Also the cocktail bar afterwards is a must!

    Food not so much, meaning not the restaurant quality but ok for a night out. The service is great though. It was my husband's birthday and the staff sang happy birthday and gave him a complimentary coffee & dessert (warm brownies & ice cream - the best!) which is so unexpected. VIP feeling for sure. This is why we are giving this review a 5star. Thank you. We've convinced a few couple friends to do the VIP dinner & package. Cineplex we're counting on you.
