   An amazing dining experience! Service and food was top notch! The wine pairings without a doubt is the way to go. The sommelier Chris Sealy took us on a wonderful journey into the world of wine. A memorable experience!

   Phenomenal. If you’re on the fence between dining room and kitchen bar experience, pick the bar. The service did not miss a beat. Trust Christopher—you will not regret the wine pairing. Every bite + sip is a wow moment.

   I was very disappointed with my overall experience at Alo. My expectations were very high, which didn't help. Nonetheless I found it to be overhyped and not worth the money. First I wanted to reserve a table for 4, but one of us had allergies, which they wouldn't accomodate, which I found special for a Michelin Star restaurant. But oh well.. we still made reservation but for only 2 because we really wanted to try. The decor is clean but nothing remarkable, seemed like any other chic restaurant. Overall ambiance was too 'strict' is the way I would describe. The food... was very good. But the wine pairing brought it down a notch. Unremarkable wines for every service, at 135$ per person made it feel like a ripoff. All the wines were described like light, to make the food shine. It meant no character wines, that for half the courses tasted nothing, and the other half made the food taste worse. If the price was lower I'd be probably less critical, but the overall value for the money isn't there, and I have been and will go again in restaurants at this price range, just not this one. Ever. Would not recommend, spend your money elsewhere, the food scene in Toronto is vast.

   Food and service are great, but the main courses flavor are too strong, everything tastes like butter most of the time. but the beginning food are great.

   Great experience! The service was amazing and the food was fabulous. A bit pricey but considering it was a special occasion it was worth it.

    My dear friend and I decided to celebrate our birthdays at Alo. It was a fantastic experience. We were seated at the counter and I initially found it to be a little bit overstimulating and thought we would regret my seating selection. But Marcus our server and the rest of the staff were so fantastic that it became super fun and we soon came to really enjoy everything about it. The food was delicious, the service was superb and the experience was everything we hoped for. Thank you to all the kitchen and service staff for making our celebration an unforgettable one.
