Reviews for Alo in Toronto, ON
This is special. It's not just a fancy dinner place with excellent food, but it's the service that stands out. Our very lovely... server of the night was warm and kind, and knowledgeable and very considerate. Calling her a server doesn't even cover it. Camefor a birthday and it was all in the details. Birthday cake of course. But in the takeaway menu, they made a special note on thebirthday. Food was even better than I remember. Dining room and chefs counter now has the same menu. Always a treat watchingthe magic happen. Read more
Always wanted to dine in at Alo, finally got the special occasion to book in for dinner with the 6 course tasting menu at the... barroom. 5 pm to 7 pm we enjoyed every single course selected for this tasting menu and the amazing cocktail selection.Definitely one of the most memorable experience!

Amazing food, amazing drinks, amazing service! We experienced the Bar Testing menu and we were thoroughly impressed. We thought... the 6-course menu would be small and we would still want food after, but it was quite filling and we left satisfied. I woulddefinitely want to return to try their dinner menu in the future as each dish on the bar tasting was incredible without a singlemiss. As we were told, the menu changes quite often, so definitely a place to try multiple times. Read more
From the service, to the wine, to the kitchen everything was fabulous. The service anticipated all our needs and was... unbelievably friendly. The food was incredible, just adventurous enough but provided familiarity and comfort. The sommelier hadpicked the wine parings so well it’s like we had the exact taste in wine. All around great night and I can’t wait to goback. Read more
Great tasting menu, I would recommend everyone come at least once if you have the budget. The service is excellent. The food is... delicious and well presented, although I found a few dishes quite salty. The atmosphere does not strike me as extremely highend. For those looking to secure a reservation, you gotta book as soon as the spots for the following months open!

Amazing experience. Great food. Every single item on the tasting menu is fabulous (least favorite was the cucumber/fish).... Service was immaculate. Attentive without over bearing. I am so so glad to have a chance to dine here before Michelin isannounced. Read more
If you’re able to get a table, this is a must try experience in Toronto. My partner and I went here for an anniversary and... loved it. While it’s pricy for sure, the quality of service, multiple courses and delicious plates more than justifies theprice tag. The pasta dish was incredible and the main protein was amazing. After 7-8 courses, they cap the night off with anamazing chocolate box and spread of teas. Thanks to the staff for an amazing experience. Read more
It seems wait staff to patrons ratio is one to one. If not, how can service be so overwhelmingly fabulous and fantastically... perfect?! Tracy is a pro, and she makes you feel right at home. Even when she brings me my $450/head check. Why so much,?you'd ask. 11-course tasting menu, 4 grams of white truffle and wine pairing, plus taxes and gratuity. 5 stars from top tobottom! Down to their management-approved New Balance running shoes. Their menu goes through small updates every quarter. Iwaited one whole year for this. No, it is not a gimmick nor is that a marketing scheme. The restaurant is packed. And I can'treserve a table for my next visit while I was there. However, I am encouraged to call from time to time and try myluck. Another reason for that Michelin star. Tables are adequately spaced so you can't eavesdrop on the couple sitting to yourleft nor can the party to your right drown out the conversation at your table. Read more
