I may be the outlier here or a victim to the over-hype, it's hard to say. I have not been to Alo (their sister resto) but have heard good things. The same goes for Aloette, I've heard a lot of buzz surrounding the two places. So we finally were able to give it a try...
First off - The menu was limited to the point where I was quite indecisive on what to order; so we opted to try a couple of apps (scallop tostada & tuna tartar) and split the Alloette Burger between the two of us...
The tuna tartar was pretty good and a decent portion. The scallop tostada was tasty, but they were small and not a lot of scallop came with the order. As for the burger; it was super popular. I sat near the kitchen and almost every table in the place had ordered one. However; in my opinion it was just ok... If you are selective with your burger (as I am), you may not be too impressed. It's slightly bigger than a slider and a bit bland. The beef patty was cooked well done and dried out, which leads me to assume the quality of beef is of low grade - condiments were a must...
Additionally, our server told us that our order was enough food for two, but I could have had more...
For what it's worth, the others at my table had the black forest sundae
for dessert and absolutely loved it!
I wouldn't necessarily write this place off per se, I would be open to trying other items on the menu. But I wouldn't make it my priority to return any time soon...
