Alo was rated the top restaurant in Toronto and I can see why. First it's small and for dinner they only have 2 seating times (6:30 and 8:45pm if I remember correctly). You can go to the bar area in the front, there are a few tables and you can enjoy a drink or two with a few bites as a walk-in. Reservations are a must for dinner.
Being on the smaller side you get that intimate feel. The kitchen is a bit open so you can see (depending on where you are sitting) all the action.
It's a price fix menu - &105pp. It's about 8 or so courses with 3 dessert courses. You do get some options in the menu. Also you can email them any allergies and/or dietary restrictions and they will gladly accommodate!
It's a tasting menu so each course it small, but small things lead up to a full tummy (for me anyways)
They change up their menu every 6-8 weeks trying use as many in season items as possible. When presented the bill you also get a copy of the menu (smart marketing move).
While I've honestly had better food elsewhere (don't get me wrong it's pretty good here) the service is the absolute best you will find anywhere. The attention to detail, when you get up they come by and re-fold your napkin, how they place the food on the table, the explanations about each dish...wow. You feel like a King or Queen here!
I'm glad I had the opportunity to try it - definitely an experience
