   Absolute EPIC experience yet again. From the service, to the food, to the ambiance… we always love coming to Alo. This was our 3rd Valentines experience and they always raise the bar for all things culinary. We love you! -Corey & Destiny

   For a Michelin star this place was very underwhelming. The food was not up to what I’d expect for a fine dining experience and the amount of money we paid. The server was great though, the wine options were great and the food was not worth the price for sure.

   This is what a restaurant of this caliber should be doing: wow you all the way! Kudos to the "brigade", an amazing culinary experience that you do not find everywhere. The price tag is proportional, but still worth trying without hesitation. Not to forget a great wine pairing outside of the usual known path.

   Went for my 53rd birthday. All 9 courses of the food were excellent which isn’t always the case with a tasting menu. We had the wine pairings which were hit and miss, but were worth the extra cost as they did a good job introducing some unique finds. The service was excellent - great job service team. They moved smoothly in and around without being intrusive. I also really appreciate the faint 70s heavy metal playlist in the background. Just loud enough that you could hear when a song that you loved long ago came on and made you smile.

    Alo: Toronto’s Pinnacle of Fine Dining Alo remains the gold standard for fine dining in Toronto, offering a meticulously crafted tasting menu under the direction of Chef Patrick Kriss. The experience begins with raw tuna canapés, where delicate slices of tuna meet crisp crackers with a hint of citrus and wasabi. The French omelette rolls are impossibly soft, melting instantly on the tongue. The lobster bisque in green Thai curry is a masterful fusion of French technique and bold Southeast Asian flavors, rich yet perfectly balanced. Moving into deeper indulgence, the miso wagyu is buttery-soft, infused with umami richness, while the truffle risotto is luxuriously creamy with fresh truffle shavings enhancing its earthy depth. The sirloin with foie gras is an exquisite highlight—perfectly seared, richly flavored, and tied together with a silky red wine reduction. Desserts are just as refined. The olive oil ice cream surprises with its light, fruity complexity, serving as the perfect prelude to The Petit Four, a quartet of delicate confections ranging from airy macarons to buttery madeleines. Service at Alo is as exceptional as the cuisine. The staff is effortlessly attentive, striking a rare balance between precision and warmth. Dishes arrive with impeccable timing, each one introduced with clarity and genuine enthusiasm. Dining at Alo is more than a meal—it’s a performance of culinary artistry, where each course builds upon the last in a seamless, unforgettable experience. For those seeking the pinnacle of fine dining in Toronto, Alo is simply unmatched.
