We visited for my birthday dinner on a Friday night. The meal was fantastic and everything was cooked perfectly but the service left something to be desired. For the prices that you pay, I would expect more attentiveness and friendliness. We also added in our reso it was a special occasion (birthday) and we got probably the worst table in the restaurant. We actually noticed a few other people ask to swap tables - the setup is odd for a higher end restaurant. All in all it’s a good restaurant but the service seemed off and the seating could be better.

Went to a Christmas party there. The food was okay, the reviews set a very high explanation that was not met, but the food was good . The service was okay, the staff were withdrawn and very quiet. The restaurant was nice inside, but with only hard surfaces it was very loud. I will try I agin as a normal customer, to see if this was a one time experience.

My wife and I shared the seared digby scallops for a starter; they were melt-in-your mouth perfect. For mains she had the duck breast with yuzu bread pudding, grilled bok choy, rhubarb and gochujang bbq sauce; I had the braised short rib in tomato & balsamic reduction with white cheddar mashed potatoes and broccolini. Both were plated beautifully, served at the right temperature, and done just right. Everything paired well with a Kiona Vineyards Riesling 2022. For dessert we shared a matcha cheese cake with cookie crumb, yuzu chantilly, and micro anise. Our server was pleasantly attentive throughout the evening, answered all of our questions about the menu, and handled our table of 8 efficiently. The interior is beautiful! We had a superb experience overall.

Had the good fortune of attending a retirement party here last night. I had never been here before although I have driven by many times.
It is hidden away from the busy road by bushes and trees. It is a well-hidden gem of a restaurant that is absolutely perfect for hosting private events.
The atmosphere and decor are beautiful and stylish, while the staff are absolutely attentive and professional. Their staff has oodles of experience so you will get a level of service that you are not used to getting in other restaurants.
The appetizers were served hot or chilled depending on the items and the staff were on top of collecting the discarded serviettes and skewers.
Now that I know that it exists I will endeavor to come back for dinner or even host a party of my own here.

My wife and I had an extraordinary dining experience at Alloy. The cuisine was nothing short of exceptional, with each dish offering a symphony of flavors that left a lasting impression. The atmosphere is modern and sophisticated, reminiscent of a hidden gem where one might expect to spot a celebrity unwinding with a cocktail. Our server, Shannan, was delightful—warm, attentive, and engaging, which only enhanced the overall experience. Alloy is the kind of place that invites you to return, promising memorable evenings time and time again.

First time at Alloy and enjoyed immensely. Beautiful interior, delicious food and our server, Greg, was fantastic. We found the dining room to be quite loud but otherwise no complaints.
Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating for gluten sensitivities.

Had a fantastic lunch at Alloy! Our server Greg was top notch; super attentive to detail, made it such a pleasant experience for us! Thanks Alloy!!
Alloy is a hidden gem in the city and good to hang out with friends. The waiter is nice. The waiter put the thumb on the plate and put it on the table for us to use. The waiter was very nice and cleaning the table after each course and wipe the residue food on the floor. They provided complimentary warm naan bread as well as humus which is very nice. The dishes that we were having are mushy gnocchi, overcooked scallop and habliut, roasted chicken with (super salty) lentil and okayed pork tenderlion, the star of those dishes are the sauces, pretty yummy to be honest. Sadly, we are not coming for the sauces. We are not coming back for sure!

It was our first time experience at Alloy. The server was robotic, inattentive and cocky. Food was represented banquet food from a four star hotel. Bread service made in house was dry. food lacked seasoning and flavor. The reputation of Alloy did not come close to our expectations.

There was a special/private event tonight that slowed table service and had the wait staff scrambling. We waited a long time for drinks, food order, 30 minutes for our food to come out and then were abandoned for at least another 30 minutes after dinner and had to ask for our cheque. Food and drink was great just wish they had staffed appropriately to support their event and the other patrons. Parking was awful tonight, we had to park across the street and walk across in the dark/rain because the lot was full.

The food was excellent and so is the service. The only downside of Alloy is the acoustics. The hard surfaces make the place very noisy!! But other than that, always a great option!!
