Dinner
4 course dinner at 60CAD pp
Food: 4/5 (Good, but not a spectacular meal).
Service: 4/5 (friendly, helpful and unpretentious, but needed some prompting e.g. water, though they did indulge us w/an extra helping of bread)
Value: 4-4.5/5 given we were full (and I can eat a bird in a sitting) and some of the flare associated w/how it was plated. But not cheap.
Tips: make a reso in advance. if you miss your reso you lose 30$ pp deposit. So don't. There is a smaller bar menu than Alo Bar and like Bar Alo reso is not needed for it. Though Bar Alo has a dedicated space for its bar, this place has a few chairs at the bar. Saw their cafe (don't know operational hrs, closed during dinner) that is tucked away. No corkage.
Repeat: Perhaps
Final word, is this the next Alo? Well after eating at Bar Alo (food comes from the same kitchen), I don't think Alo merits any hype, leave alone wondering if it might qualify for a Michelin star (not that star=yummy food always). This place is good, but it's no next anything other than another good resto in the GTA that might merit a drive from TO and more so if you're already in/passing the area.
