Service was quite good, Patty was our server and she was very welcoming. Food and Ambience was quite good, the place was underrated and definitely needs more attention. Worth trying

Service and food were exceptional. Cant think of anything that could’ve been improved

We finally tried Alo after hearing much great things. We sat at “The Bar at Alo” for a St-Valentines fixed menu. The Service was outstanding from all staff and the food / cocktails were indeed deserving of their Michelin Star. Ambiance and decor in the bar area was a bit dark for our taste. I found the prices to be a bit steep, but not outside the norm at this level. The wine pairing was interesting and will get two of their featured bottles. However, I wonder why they chose to feature a US bottle in their pairing at this particular time. Overall great experience, will likely try their main dining area in the near future.

Exquisite. A superlative and welcoming experience. A gastronomic delight. The chef and his team were outstanding.
