   My husband and I just wanted to find a place to try out this Michelin restaurant while traveling from Montreal to Toronto, but every dish ended up amazing me.

   Overall a top notch food experience. Be selective about the upgrades on the set menu, some are more worth it than others. The space was small, loud and not very well lit. The noise level made it difficult to hear our server. The start of the set menu was a bit rushed ie. First course came at the same time as our cocktails, but after that paced out well. Overall good experience, it's just the atmosphere that was lacking.

   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.

   Food was good. One of the courses was steak and the knife they had brought couldn’t cut the meat. Wasn’t easy to eat.

   It's definitely the best food experience I've ever had. We went for our friends birthday and it did not disappoint! The flavors were so deep, and coupled with the wine pairing, it really elevated the experience. Our server was excellent, and the music being played was awesome! It was such a great time! We will be back <3

   After many visits to the dining room at Alo, we finally made it round to The Bar at Alo, and are so happy we did! Truthfully, having seen their caviar service walk past us while dining in the dining room, it was that caviar service that brought us in. The Bar at Alo does caviar service a bit differently and it is definitely an experience worth checking out. We followed the caviar up with a shared tasting menu, and at six courses, it is a much more approachable menu. An abbreviated version of the dining room menu (or each of the six courses available a la carte if six courses is too much to handle). The option to pair wines with each course is also available and highly recommended as the wine program is always fantastic at Alo. What sets dining at Alo apart, is their service. First class from beginning to end and all along the way. Everyone is so welcoming, helpful, and loaded with information to make your dining experience memorable. Many thanks to Aiyana, Joshua, Shyanne, and of course Patrick, for always making an outing at Alo a memorable one.

    Absolutely delightful! The tasting menu was exquisite and the wine pairings were so unexpected and amazing! The service was above and beyond! The server gave us great detail regarding the dishes and the background on the wines. I’ve eaten at a lot of Michelin starred restaurants but this one is probably the best experience!
