    The service and food was great. Only complaint is that we were seated by the window and it was extremely cold. I had to wear my coat.

    Service was lacking. My friend ordered a glass of dealcoholized Chardonnay and we had to remind 3 different people for it. One brought the glass. Another got the waiter. The third person came and brought the wrong chardonnay (with alcohol). Thankfully I read the bottle after my friend already tasted it. They finally brought it. This was by the time we already had our main dish... I don't know who was our server as we probably saw 4 different people. It took really long to be attended to. Took even longer to get the bill. My new York steak was delicious though. Mushrooms and broccolini were good too. The food was the only saving thing from this experience

    Showed up with a miscalculated reservation 4 people to 6. Staff uninterested in helping solve. Seemed like we were a nuisance as a small corporate group. Financial service firm who would use for lunches/cocktails. It probably doesn’t matter but we would unlikely to return. Cocktails okay. Ambience good. Staff hospitality not good.

    Went to Alobar for dinner before a show at Scotiabank Arena. The whole experience was amazing, with our meal being the star. We will definitely be back.
