    Simply put, Alma is one of the best restaurants I’ve been to. Anywhere. Staff is fantastic, ambience relaxed, romantic - in a word, perfect - and the food is consistently inventive and championship level. When we go, we choose the “Trust Alma” option on the menu, and we’ve always been lost for superlatives to describe each dish. A true gem!!

    Everything was excellent. Server and kitchen went above and beyond to accommodate dishes to suit a table for one, although they weren’t asked. I can’t wait to go back!

    My friend and I liked it. We were there on Christmas Eve for lunch. Not too crowded, when leaving we were the only people in our section. Food was good, not outstanding, but good. Spectacular view, great ambiance. Service was very slow, maybe because of Christmas, but polite and pleasant. Would definitely come back.

    I had lived in Toronto for many years before moving away from the city. Had to come in a few days for work and decided to visit DaiLo with a friend. Why did I rob myself of this experience for so long? The food was 5-star! We ordered the wontons, pork hock, tacos, and the smoked duck. Every dish hit its mark perfectly with well-balanced flavors. The ambience of the restaurant is very nice and it isn't a place that packs restaurant goers elbow to elbow. Lastly, the service provided by the staff rivals the quality of the food.
