    Great food and service. It was very busy at 6pm and a bit noisy after a long day at work! The food was great but the portions were quite small for the price.

    Loved the meal! Every bite we ordered was beautifully presented and tasty. We have been to every restaurant under the Alo umbrella on dates, with friends and with our kids. And they never disappoint.

    Always on point. Great vibe. Our server Lea was outstanding...looking after every detail. The food was amazing as always. Wedge salad....the best in the city. The burger is an icon for a reason and the carrot cake left us speechless.

    Kind staff, good service and quality of food was as expected at an Alo restaurant. Two of my dishes were significantly more spicy than expected—suggest more proactive communication to guests when ordering specific dishes. They took our feedback on the spot which was nice. Otherwise great location, and good vibe.
    Aloette BayResponded on November 25, 2024
    Hi, Marcello! Thank you very much for taking the time to send us this feedback. We take food and service very seriously and we appreciate all of the opportunities to improve. we will certainly address the spice levels of the food in the future. I will follow up with you privately to address this as well.

    Short rib needs to come back. Wasn’t a huge fan of the new calamari on the menu and the 2 seater booth is tight for two giants (6’3”). Either way, I’ll be back next week.
    Aloette BayResponded on November 26, 2024
    Hi, Chris! We love the short rib too! We will make sure you are the first to know if we bring it back. I have made a note in your profile that you would prefer a different seating option with a bit more leg room. Thank you for the feedback! We appreciate any opportunity to improve!

    Five stars for service! Servers were attentive without being intrusive - fantastic! We started with the halloumi w olives and two wedge salads to share. Both apps were flavorful and unique. Our mains included the house burger with fries, scallops, fried chicken and the special burger which featured wagyu beef with truffle. These arrived at a well paced interval. Everyone shared a little of their entree to enthusiastic reviews. So why only four stars for the food? Well the highly touted lemon meringue pie was a definite disappointment. There was some kind of an odd aftertaste in the flavor profile. Not sure if it was the crust or the lemon filling, but it was definitely off. Luckily we also ordered the carrot cake. It was exceptional! Atmosphere? When we arrived the rap music playing in the space was so loud we could not hold a conversation. We asked for the music to be turned down. The rap was changed to something much more mellow and the volume was turned down. That’s great service! We found the corkage fee to be high - $50 - for a restaurant that’s part of the “food court” i.e. you have to go out in the hallway to use the restroom. But, the servers were attentive in this area as well - coming by our table to top up glasses when needed. Communication prior to our evening advised the restaurant that we were celebrating a birthday. Nothing was done to acknowledge or recognize the occasion. Maybe going with a different playlist and lowering the volume was the best they could do.
    Aloette BayResponded on November 25, 2024
    Hi, Lori! I am so sorry we missed your birthday and the the lemon pie did not meet your expectations! We take food and service very seriously and this is a huge oversight on our part. Please accept my deepest apologies! I appreciate that everything else helped to brighten the experience but I would love if you gave us another chance to give you an experience that is much closer to perfect. Please reach out to us directly when you plan to visit next. I will send you a private message with details on how to do so. Thank you so much for choosing Aloette bay.
