    It has been a while since we were at Alobar. Both dishes and service have improved significantly which is great news. Had cocktails and beautiful seafood. It was very loud at the resto due to the low ceiling but that’s the only downside.

    The service and food quality is absolutely amazing. My wife and I have been trying to get reservations for years and finally we were successful on the evening of our 35th Anniversary. From the Hostess to the servers Adam, Godwin and the AGM Johann, everyone were super attentive and provided great input about the menu options chosen. The Steak Tarta & French onion Soup, both developed tastefully with the perfect combination of herbs & spices and creatively presented. The Brome Lake Duck and poached pear a perfect combination of sweet and acid complementing the tender meat of the pine- glazed Duck. The Lamb Rack, tender and tastefully matched with the white port jus and charred broccoli, made for a mouth watering pallet. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening and ended it with a rich cappuccino and Black Forest gâteau which we romantically shared and now look forward to our next visit, hopefully soon.

    Could not have asked for a better evening to celebrate our 25th anniversary. From the way we were greeted, to being seated at one the best table and then to given sparkling wine, all of which set the tone for the evening. Our server, Laura was amazing and so knowledgeable. She recommended the perfect wine to accompany our meal. The food was delicious as always. Can’t wait to come back. Thank you to all that made our evening so special.

    Love, love, Loved! Every review I read about this place was spot on. Love the retro vibe, the music selection, the wine, the food. The service! Also the decor just topped it off for me! It’s the kind of place you want to go and tell your friends about it. Also the cocktail bar afterwards is a must!

    The atmosphere and location is lovely and food was delicious. The only disappointment was the service. When I asked for vinegar for the fries the server replied that they don't have vinegar. Seriously? In a winery? Even if they dont have bottles for the tables, a good server would have gone out of their way to bring a small cup of vinegar from the kitchen. That's what average restaurants do so I was shocked when she just said we don't have vinegar. Disappointing for a winery of this level.
