   Our entrees were heavily over seasoned and tasted purely of salt.

   All of the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive. Our waiter was great, very knowledgeable of the menu and wine list. Great atmosphere and fantastic food. I would 100% return and recommend this to anyone looking for a fantastic meal

   The service was better than the food - attentive and read social ques. The menu is very lack lustre. I expected more. I've been to upscale cafeteria's in Europe that had more ambience, more selection and overall offered better value. I think Alobar leverages the Alo name and brand. Its a wasted opportunity to do so much more. I won't be revisiting for business or pleasure. And I'd need a lot of convincing to go to any Alo branded restaurants. Toronto has such an amazing selection of restaurants, there are many others worth exploring.

   Good but unfortunately very salty overall! Had a couple apps and a pasta each, and the salt was the main taste

    We arrived for on time for our reservation, but there seemed to be some confusion about where we would be seated for several minutes. We were sat at the bar, not a huge issue, but there was no indication it would be bar seating when booking and I had expected a table. We are ok with bar seating so no real issue and it was comfortable. The bar area is not particularly special and the lighting is a bit cold. Service was good, the initial bar tender didn’t really seem very interested, but the chap who ultimately served us was very attentive and pleasant. The food was on point, highlights were the charred hamachi and A5 Wagyu, both amazing and would order again. Overall a very good experience with a few minor comments, but that would not stop us visiting again soon.
