Dining Experience at Alo
Alo, one of Canada's top-ranked restaurants, offers a unique dining experience with its set menu takeout, which changes weekly. The flavors are superb, but the plating may not be maintained well with takeout.
Food Quality and Presentation
The food at Alo is rich and flavorful, with dishes like foie gras tart, bread, and sorbet sandwich being highlights. However, some customers found the Japanese-fusion twist to be unimpressive, with flavors not marrying well together. The plating is meticulous, with attention to detail, but some dishes may be overly salty or sweet.
Service
The service at Alo is generally good, with servers being attentive and knowledgeable. However, some customers have experienced discomfort with the tone and manner of the manager/supervisor. The sommelier, Christopher, is highly praised.
Value for Money
The prices at Alo are steep, with the tasting menu costing $185 per person. Some customers felt that the experience was overpriced, while others thought it was excellent value.
