Alo Restaurant - Where Every Detail Matters ✨
Originally planned for Chinese food, but last-minute, we switched to Alo—and what a fantastic decision it was! First-time experience at this iconic spot. Called ahead—dining room was fully booked, but they had seats in the bar room (3rd floor). The tasting menu here is 6 courses instead of 10, but you can order à la carte from the main menu. Our Order: 🍽️ Tasting Menu (Bar Room) • Upgraded to Ribeye Steak (for me) • Lamb Chops (for my friend) Highlights: 🥩 Wagyu Ribeye – Melt-in-your-mouth perfection! Cooked to ideal doneness, paired with a mustard sauce that elevated every bite. Unreal texture—so tender yet firm! 🍖 Lamb Chops – Juicy, flavorful, and zero gaminess. Exactly how lamb should taste! 🍹 Hemingway Cocktail – Warm, balanced, and perfect for sipping between courses. Other dishes were more about presentation than crowd-pleasing flavors—some salty, some bubbly, but all thoughtfully crafted. The Alo Experience: 💧 Water always refilled 🔥 Cozy candlelit ambiance 🍴 Fresh cutlery for every course 🛗 Elevator held when you leave the table 🚪 Discreet sliding doors in the washroom hallway 🧊 Cocktail ice cubes—no bubbles! 🌇 Sunset lighting during dinner Every tiny detail was meticulously considered. 💰 Total for two: ~$500 📍 163 Spadina Ave (take the streetcar!) Why Alo Stands Out: ✅ Impeccable service—they anticipate your needs ✅ Steak & lamb = must-tries ✅ A masterclass in fine dining details 🔥 Pro Tip: Book the dining room early for the full tasting menu! #TorontoFineDining #AloRestaurant #SpecialOccasionEats #SteakLover #LuxuryDining #FoodieExperience #TorontoFoodScene
