"There is a review here by Keith C where he refers to a \"heavier set Indian guy who is always eating by himself\" every Saturday night - Not true, I'm only here about every three weeks or so :)\n\nAbsolutely superb - I've had dinner both in the dining room (once, and then again at a private wine tasting event), but all other times at the Chef's counter.\n\nI rarely, if ever, rate a restaurant at 5 stars - however, Alo deserves it for every facet of their execution. The service is superlative, the food is inventive, delicious and the ambience is perfect without being neither overly casual nor stuffy.\n\nI always do the wine pairings and the wine service - right from the beginning with Anjana Viswanathan (who opened the place), then Toni and Christopher - is always interesting and well matched. A superb match that has not changed much from the start is the Pain Au Lait (milk bread) with fleur de sel matched with Madeira. That is a match made in heaven.\n\nPatrick Kriss (Chef) and Amanda Bradley (GM) have created a gem of a place in the unlikeliest of places. Kudos on a superb job."^^ . . "5"^^ . "1"^^ . "2"^^ .
