The dishes at Aloette are more casual, but just as delicious as the food we had at Alo upstairs. Eating dinner at the bar can be squishy and uncomfortable, but you take whatever seat you can get. We waited 30 minutes on a Tuesday night (the weekend wait times can go up to 2 hours).
The service is excellent. The staff were helpful with describing menu selections and very attentive - I never had to ask for a water refill. The kitchen was flexible with food requests.
Although the food is good, I expected it to be better. I will definitely return but I'm not raving about it to everyone around me.
asparagus - 5/5
stracciatella cheese - 4/5
roasted octopus - 3/5
aloette burger - 4/5 (the fries were excellent)
