I loved Alo so I was really excited when its casual sister restaurant, Aloette, opened up. The restaurant does not take reservations. Unfortunately I had to take a star off for the cold that we had to endure as we were seated right across the main door, which they kept opening and closing as guests entered/left. Maybe add some curtain to that door to block out the ridiculously cold air if they must have seats there?
We ordered the mac & cheese to share, it might've been one of the best I've had. My fiance ordered the Aloette burger and fries, which we had to send back to the kitchen as the patty was pretty much raw. Second star off. The roasted pork belly that I had was tender and juicy. So overall I have some mixed feelings about Aloette. Would I go again? Maybe, but not if there's a long line-up. Or better yet, try my luck and make a reservation at Alo instead.
