| - Alo was amazing!!!! I cannot express enough how phenomenal this place is. My wife and I took a trip to Toronto back in October. We were looking for a nice restaurant to check out, and being unfamiliar with the area, we took to Google, opentable, and yelp to research restaurants. We stumbled upon Alo, which didn't have a ton of reviews, but every review it had was extremely positive. So, we booked a reservation and figured we'd give it a shot. We were a little concerned at first when we arrived and realized it was a tasting menu. We actually began discussing where we'd be going afterwards for burgers or something because we didn't think the small plates would fill us up. Wow, were we wrong. Every single dish was better than the one before it. And even though they were small plates, they were pretty ample. By the end of the tasting, we barely had enough room for dessert....but, the dinner was so amazingly out of this world, we had to get the dessert also. On top of that, we also did the wine pairing, which was fantastic and spot on. The bill wasn't cheap. But, we had so much food and drinks, and everything was so delicious and awesome, that it was worth every penny. The service was as unparalleled as the food. Everyone that came over to our table was very friendly and knowledgeable about the various plates and wines. I can't wait to take a trip back to Toronto, solely because I can't wait to go back to Alo (and because Toronto was an awesome city, but Alo really made a great impression)
