alloy

chef sampler menu was a truly elegant experience. full of amazing flavour profiles. this was a truly elegant experience. full of amazing flavour profiles and unexpected pairings.servicewas flaw less and the atmosphere was great. however they may want to think about some sound dampening treatment as it was quite noisy when the restaurant filled up. we all had a great evening and will return.

every time we come here the food andserviceseem to get better and better. well worth the drive!

outstanding food. this is a very contemporary restaurant. the atmosphere is very contemporary, the food is exstremely creative and delicous. the wine list is fantastic and theservicewas great. it is very expensive but well worth the money.
the contemporary but lively atmosphere makes it a great place for a date or party, not the best for entertaining clients. there is no real lounge either. i will definatley go back.

i keep going back. yet to be disappointed. have gone two times and both times the meal has been fantastic. wine list is diverse and well priced. greatserviceand management! last time we went for a friends birthday. i had a special bottle of wine for this occasion and asked if they had a corkage fee. the manager said that they dont usually allow it but would make an exception. needless to say we were more than happy and still ended up buying 2 other bottles off their list.

this is a place i’ve been meaning to go for quite some time. unfortunately i was wildly disappointed on all fronts. the chefs tasting menu was what we opted to go for as a table. the food itself was generally good, but by no means something i would go back for. four courses, with a particularly good seafood course but was juxtaposed by an exceptionally bad course of unimaginatively flavoured shoe leather tough steak.

here is my issue with this place. it’s the value part of it. the food was good, but the thoughtfulness of each dish was a bit lacking. moreover, our waitress was horrendous; condescending, pretentious, and not attentive. when asked basic questions about drinks, “is this drink boozy,” rather than getting an answer, i was fed more of a politically spun answer that was laden with cues that i was though a bit of troglodyte. “we don’t do boozy, we do balanced drinks that showcase the liquor”... throughout the meal we were never checked on, glasses of water were rarely (at best) filled and when the bill was finally delivered it was done with a curt remark, pulling the card from my father in laws hand and shoved back towards him.

the bottom line: from a food standpoint - it’s fine.service- terrible. for the money that you work hard to earn, spend it somewhere else.

arrived at the restaurant with excitement and high expectations, i was a little disheartened by our experience that evening. given the chefs' background, i was anticipating an array of ground-breaking, innovative dishes. we participated in the chef-tasting menu, however, besides the seared tuna with thai curry sauce and lamb kefta, there wasn't much chemistry going on between the different types of cuisine to create truly bold flavours. yes, it has a nice ambiance and theservicewas flawless. but, i wasn't quite sold on the food.

decor, presentation and concept are highlights of this restaurant.serviceis friendly and professional. food preparation could be improved. the food is not awful, but it isn't outstanding either. the main pork dish was cold and under cooked. many of the dishes were either over salted (eg. lobster risotto and lamb main course) or lacking in flavor (prawn appetizer, pork main dish). ordered dessert (hot brownie with coconut gelato) and coffee. desserts arrived without coffee. server came by 5 minutes later to tell us he was in the process of making the coffee. asked him to take back the dessert in the meantime. coffee eventually delivered with dessert. the brownie had been reheated but the coconut gelato had clearly not been replaced. dessert ended up being a $10 gloppy mess as a result.

this is a hidden gem!! the meal was amazing! creative and flavorful. will definitely be back! theserviceand atmosphere only added to the great experience. had the gnocchi as an appetizer and the short rib for a meal 💣

i  had dinner here with my boyfriend about a week ago.
very nice décors, the place did smell like tuna when we came in, but the food andservicemakes up for it.
there's a cute little dining area outside i think would be perfect for dinner when it's a bit darker out. so cute.
we started out with two appetizers to share, the pork belly with pomegranate glaze, and the crab cakes.
there was something that tasted pickled that accompanied the crab cakes which i wasn't a big fan of. they were not bad, just okay.
the pork belly was amazing, one of the best things i have ever eaten. texture was perfect and the coleslaw that came with it, complemented it well.
 
for the main course, we both ordered the beef short ribs. it was served on top of a ragu, and a dallop of what i believe could be sour cream on it. 
i loved everything about it, everything about it just worked. my boyfriend however did not care for the ragu.

we then ordered dessert to share, the creme brulee, it was very good as well.

overall the dinning experience was good. portions are a bit small for the asking price, but quality made up for it.
i would definitely come back just for the pork belly.

i can't tell what i like most of alloy - the delicious food or beautiful decor! went here for a tasting menu, and i honestly felt like i was a judge on top chef canada. their food presentation is amazing and theirservicegreat. 

location is a bit odd since it's located in an industrial-like area but as soon as you step in, you completely forget where you are :) perfect restaurant for date nights and celebrations!

overpriced, mediocre food, nice decor and service. my experience at alloy was disappointing as i found the food not very memorable and over priced. with the price of appetizers and entrees as high as it is i expected an exceptional meal and was let down. i found theserviceand the decor to be excellent. my date and i had a very private semi-circular pod for our dinner which allowed for privacy and conversation. i would not go back.

been here a few times and the restaurant inside is amazing, but that's about it. theservicewas beyond slow, our waiter rarely checked up on us, our water was maybe refilled twice. food was fast, but mediocre considering how much they charge per plate. honestly i wouldn't have minded theserviceif the food was amazing. the best part was the free hummus. overall everything was just very average. it's a cute place for a date, but that's about it. not sure if i would come back.

amazing food awsome service. steak tartar and filet were delicious.
