From the OpenTable editors: Alo is a Toronto essential adept at merging French and Asian flavors on blind multi-course tasting menus that could include rack of lamb with Thai curry or Koshihikari risotto with a porcini emulsion. Add a prime heritage building location, and it’s no wonder this ambitious go-getter landed a MICHELIN star.

    We have been waiting for a long time to book at Alo and finally we lucked out last week and able to book. Starting from our arrival, we were made to be welcomed and felt very comfortable. The waiter made sure that we had everything we needed. About the middle of our dinner, Sabrina introduced herself and we chatted for a few minutes, I was enquiring her about the private room, unfortunately it was occupied last night otherwise she would show me the room. She also gave me a business card for future appointment to contact Jessica. The food were excellent on top of the service by a few waiters and waitresses. Keep the great work team! I will definitely repeat.

    I think this is the ultimate dining experience in Toronto. I love the professionalism and vibrate outfits of the staff. The entire 9 course meal journey is magical and unforgivable. Kudos to Chef Kriss and the concierge. I would certainly try again. Sorry to forget the name of the gentleman that served us, if you're reading this, remember that you are awesome.
