Fantastic dining experience with my wife and our son. The staff are so attentive and welcoming, Marco served us and he was amazing. But of course the star is the food, every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. The complimentary cheese bread was my wife’s favourite. We never felt rushed, and we had the whole evening to ourselves to enjoy the great food and conversation of the evening at a leisurely pace that was very relaxing. It’s a sharing concept, so you order 5 to 7 dishes and don’t worry the staff will guide you on wether you ordered adequately. We enjoyed some fine cocktails (Aloette Old Fashioned) with our meal, so smooth and tasty. Ultimately, an amazing dining experience with a cool vibe in a chill atmosphere with Michelin food. Cheers

First off service was fantastic. Our server was a delight who was knowledgeable about both the food and the drink.

The Sea bream was the fan favourite. Nice vibe, atmosphere, food and staff.

Will go again next time in in town!

Went here for dinner with my friend. We got the wedge salad, crispy squash, sea bream and mussels with cocktails.

My friend and I really liked the wedge salad, the crispy squash was also good but a little sweeter than I'd like.

Sea bream was my favorite and my friend loved their mussels.

The only reason why I didnt rate it a 5 star is because the music was really loud and though service was great, they came up too many times.

We came here for dinner. Food unfortunately fell short of expectations. We ordered a few things on the menu, most were OK but a negative exception was the tomahawk steak (this was not an item on the menu, it was a special). The meat was surprisingly tough (I suspect perhaps it was a cheaper cut?) and it was cooked not to our preference. We had asked for medium rare but it came out to be rare. For the price ($100), I expected better. My favourite items was perhaps the complimentary bread and lemon meringue pie - those were amazing.

Service and environment was absolutely wonderful. Our water was constantly refilled, plates and utensils were frequently changed where it made sense, and table was cleaned every so often. The staff was not overbearing but at the same time, proactive and attentive - our waiter noticed we weren’t happy with the steak and came to check in for feedback. We voiced our concerns with the steak and was offered a lemon meringue pie on the house, which was kind of the restaurant.

The roasted sea bream is exceptional! Crispy skin that can peel off as a single sheet, flaky fatty juicy flesh, with a rich fruity-floral aji amarillo sauce. It’s a must-order unless you hate fish.

The other dishes were good but not excellent. I tried the wedge salad because it’s one of Aloette’s signature dishes, but it didn’t convince me that lettuce needs to be in an unwieldy chunk. The dressing is a fancified version of sour cream & onion flavor. Cocktail was great.

Overall it was a great experience because of the attentive service. The sea bream is something I’d order regularly if I lived in the area.

Attentive and easy to talk to staff. We’ve been here twice now and love it every time. It’s a must when we visit Toronto. Eve fry thing in the menu is great. We’ve tried new things every time but the wedge salad is to die for. It has such a refreshing touch!

Desert was great. The lemon pie was too tart for me so I prefer the strawberry parfait.

Overall- this place is great. Just make sure you set up a reso before coming!

This was a great experience overall. The food selection was great for a smaller menu.

Each dish we tried had levels of flavour, and most importantly you definitively taste all flavours out into the dish… nothing got lost,

The presentation of each dish was photo worthy as you can see the care of how each dish is created.

The service was prompt and gave great recommendations for our group.

No complaints here.
