    We were seated immediately with a reservation and greeted by name. We needed things to come out timely as we had a play to attend. Our waiter confirmed when asked that we had ordered enough food for the three of us and everything came out quickly. All tasted fantastic and we had our bill given to us promptly so we could be on time to the play. Highly recomment!

    We try to stop in if we are heading to Sacramento. It was a rainy Sunday and the super gooey grilled cheese and soup was perfect! The service is always attentive and responsive

    I made a reservation thinking I was going to be there at one time but we were able to arrive much earlier so I called the restaurant. Pam was very accommodating and said it would be no problem. When we arrived I expected an almost empty restaurant because Pam was so accommodating over the phone when told we would be arriving much earlier. To my surprise the restaurant was very busy. When we walked in the door I saw a table with a “reserved” sign on it. Because the restaurant was so busy, I didn’t think it could be our table, but sure enough it was our table. We had three different people waiting on us (including Pam) and the staff could not have been nicer (I wish I had asked the two other servers their names). The food and drinks were delicious. It was really one of my best experiences at a restaurant ever and I’ve been to many restaurants from “down home” to “very fancy”. You can find good food and good service in a lot of places but I found my last experience at Alaro in my top 10 of all time. Great job Alaro!

    Alaro’s is one of our favorite restaurants. It was a special night and Annette the owner made it more special by taking the time to read my comment in OpenTable and accommodating my request. If you haven’t been there, I highly recommend you try it! Thank you Alaro!

    Casual environment with great selection of beers and a menu with many comfort food options. They offer generous flights of beers and let you choose those you wish to try. Service was prompt and friendly. Food was very good. Would recommend the veggie burger and the fish and chips.

    Alaro served an octopus dish that for me ranks in my top 3 dining experiences ( the other 2 were in Vancouver BC and Paris France). It was flavorful, nicely presented and cooked to perfection! The wait staff made our dinner memorable! Thank you!!

    This Sunday brunch was one of the more enjoyable dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. From the welcome at the door when we arrived to our chat with the owners, as we left, the service was exceptionally personal and professional at the same time. We felt welcomed and valued as guests. The food was absolutely incredible! I felt encouraged to try different things I was rewarded with delicious experiences. I WILL definitely become a regular. Mad props to the entire crew for making this kid (senior OG) from the wrong side of the tracks feel special.
