Overall a very positive dining experience. The food and drinks were good and service was even better, however, beware the burger is served quite rare.

Enjoyed the Valentine's Day prix fixe. Lovely ambience with a live music trio playing. Food was really delicious. Good wine recommendations. We will be back.

My husband and I went for the prix fixe menu for Valentine's Day, and it was a fantastic experience! The value was outstanding for the quality of service and food we received. It felt romantic and intimate while still being lively and atmospheric.

Last Friday, I had a long day and went to the bar for a drink. The hostesses, bartender and manager, Dalia, were all wonderful and kind. Hospitality was a 10/10. Thanks for turning my day around! Will 100% be back!

Service was excellent. Ordered the bone-in rib eye at $140 and the server said it came with au jus. Typically it would come on the side, it did not. The steak was covered in a gravy not even an au jus like the server had stated. Who puts gravy on a $140 beautiful piece of meat! Was not impressed.

We went to Alobar for the first time as it's close to the four seasons center. The restaurant was pretty empty bc our reso was 5pm and the lady sat us right beside the kitchen and it was so noisy and distracting. Upon request they moved us to another table well far away from the kitchen. Cocktails were great I was craving a mojito and it was splendid! We ordered the beet salad to start and it was delicious. I ordered burger and fries. Now the server said the recommended order is rare but I wasn't sure if I would like it and asked for medium - which was a mistake. It was a little dry but still delicious they gave me a side of jue bc they knew. My bad! The dessert Mille Fueille was probably one of the best things I've ever ate in life! I will go back for it again and again. It's very dark place not that much lighting, but I guess that's the vibe and I'm old with bad vision.
Amazing food and drinks. Great aesthetic and ambiance. Customer service was amazing. Highly recommended.

We rang in New Year’s Eve at Alobar Downtown with our two kids, and the entire experience was absolutely flawless.
From the moment we walked in, everything clicked — the warm and friendly hostess, an exceptional front-of-house team, great music, perfect table next to the open kitchen, and a lively yet comfortable ambience. The service was smooth, professional, and genuinely welcoming, especially impressive on such a busy night.
The food was outstanding across the board. We enjoyed the burger with au jus and fries, a perfectly cooked 24 oz ribeye, bacon-wrapped filet mignon, butter pasta for our youngest, calamari, broccolini that was crisp with a subtle Asian-style dressing, and mashed potatoes that were so delicious we honestly wished we’d ordered two. Not a single bite was left — every dish delivered.
It was nice seeing Owner & Chef Patrick Kriss on the floor, running a very tight ship. Given that Alo has multiple locations and it being NYE, I was genuinely surprised (and impressed) to see him during service. It reminded me of the one time, many years ago, when I was lucky enough to see Chef Daniel Boulud in action at Daniel in NYC. That level of presence speaks volumes.
As someone who is also in hospitality, I know firsthand how difficult it is to execute a flawless service — especially on a high-pressure night like NYE — and this team absolutely nailed it.
To top it all off, when it came time for dessert, our server surprised us by saying that Chef Patrick would be sending all three desserts on the house for us to try. An incredibly generous and thoughtful gesture. He even mentioned that we could reach out to Chef Patrick directly via Instagram for future reservations if we ever had trouble — a personal touch that truly stood out.
Bravo to the entire Alobar Downtown team. 10/10 experience, and we will definitely be back — not only here, but to try Alo's other locations as well.
