Alloy was ok... but just ok. A friend and I make a point eating at all the nice/trendy restaurant and Alloy was middle of the pack in all categories. My pork Belly appetizer was fantastic... a really delicious dish. My friend had the scallops and they were not great. I don't see them on the menu anymore and we went a while ago. So maybe they knew they had a weakness there and removed it. We went a month or two ago, so possible. For dinner the waitress specifically pointed out I could take any item that was available on the chefs tasting menu and turn it into a full sized meal. I decided to do that with the duck breast but when it came it was quite small, I asked and sure enough I got the tasting menu sized portion... to fix this they just brought another tasting size plate and called it a meal - it came out immediately... I mean my second dish was at the table in under a minute... which is good but also means that the food is not being cooked to order in any way... the plates looked identical... and it gave the whole meal an assembly line feel rather than a hand crafted for me special feel. If I had shelled out the $$ for the "Chef's tasting menu" and got that level of effort I would have been upset. The Alloy chefs should go to the living room and try the chef's tasting menu and see how its done. If the duck was delicious it would have been ok, but it was no Murrieta's duck breast. I don't recall what my friend had but I recall both of us kind of shrugging... it was ok, not mind blowing... in my world mind blowing is 5 stars, shrugging okay is 3. read more

Took my wife there for her birthday and was blown away by the appetizers and the dessert. Nice fusion of flavours. We always have a great time enjoying our meals and I'm leaning to just ordering an array of appetizers the next time because they're all so good. The Panna Cotta served three ways is simply one of the best desserts I've enjoyed in Calgary -- mixture of hot spice (habanero & red chili) with the sweetness of a decadent Panna Cotta made me crave a return trip just for this dish. Great service, nice decor, good wine list. We'll definitely be making a return visit. Thanks Alloy for another memorable meal. read more

So disappointed! High prices, small portions! The food was certainly tasty, but no vegetables, dessert was ridiculously priced for what you got! Wine $60 a bottle and the noise level was unbelievable! Went for a nice dinner out and six people cost $600! read more

Exotic! What a night out! We've been there for lunch and for dinner. Great imaginative menu, well prepared. Attended by very professional servers. Great wine list. kudos to Alloy for doing it so well. read more

We went here Friday night for our anniversary . It was fantastic service. The Wine & food were spectacular I can't say enough good things about the food . I had a hard time deciding what to have. We will definitely go back and try more things from the menu So glad we found this restaurant read more

Went here for dinner last thursday night, and although it was a week night, this place was decently busy. An unexpecting location, this place is definitly trendy, along with a trendy price tag. The two of us both had a starter, the butternut squash soup and the beet salad. I was disappoited with the salad as it had some overly sweet and thick cranberry reduction/paste that just made the dish far too rich. We shared the steak tartar as an appy, which was a disappointly small portion. We both had the beef tenderloin for our main, the meat was cooked to perfection, but the lobster risotto and green beans that it can with were not that great. The service was ok, our waitress was a bit snippity and left our cleared dishes for quite a while before taking them away. All in all, I would say it was ok, but that's about all, I won't be returning. read more

I went here for my staggette and the food was amazing, will definitely go back. The presentation was gorgeous, I was almost unwilling to eat it because it was so pretty, but my taste buds were having none of that! well done Alloy, hats off to you! read more

Our office had our annual Xmas party at Alloy this year. Like others have mentioned, its in a non descript building in the industrial aread of Calgary's South East. Inside, the decor is very interesting. Sort of retro 50/60's, with a modern twist. The service was great and the staff were always on top of our drink orders and refilling our wine. For apps we had tempura shrimp, mini sliders with papaya chipotle sauce and what I think were chicken balls on a skewer. The chicken balls were alright, but the other two were amazing. The tempura was nice and crunchy, it didnt get soggy in the sauce that accompanied it. The sliders were simple, and although I didnt taste papaya or chipotle in the sauce, they beef was very tender. For a main I had the beef shortrib. It came with yam crisps, and root veg. The meat was again, tender and delicious, we didnt need anything more than a butter knife to gently cut through it. I wish there were more vegetables on the side. I had a few yam crisps, a slice of red pepper, a slice of zucchini and 2 tiny slices of parsnip. For dessert, I had the cholado, which was a sorbet. You could tell it was fresh and made with real fruit. The unfortunate part was that the serving was only the size of 3 melon balls. Although I did enjoy my food, the reason I gave it a 3 stars was because, as others have mentioned the portion sizes were very small. I was lucky to not have had to pay for my meal, but looking a the prices on the menu ahead of time, I feel like some people may feel ripped off a bit. read more

Had the scallop appetizer, Greek salad with calamari for my second dish. Entree consisted of land & sea. In my opinion it was a little overpriced. read more

I love this establishment. Good food great service. It was booked so sat at the bar, Alena, Laura are the best bartenders ever. Cheered us up after a terrible tragedy. So please come visit, and tip well!!! I highly recommend this place. read more

Still one of my favourite restaurants in Calgary. Love the tuna tartar appetizer and lamb chops. Hubby had the beef tenderloin tonight with goat cheese gnocchi and it was amazing. Our new find was the ravioli appetizer that was in the loveliest buttery sauce. Oh lord it was good, and probably the hit of the night. read more

Thanks for another awesome meal over the weekend, Alloy! Great service, our meals were served promptly - absolutely love everything about this place! read more

Went for a business lunch yesterday with two other people. I had driven by Alloy on numerous occasions but never went in. The restaurant is not what I expected, given the the unique if not odd location. Congrats to the designer, the interior has a very simple elegance, not overdone which is too common these days. On the recommendation of my colleague I had the short rib tacos. By far the best beef tacos I have ever had, the flavor was fantastic. My colleague had the bison chilli, you have to see this dish to believe it. It does not look like chilli, it looks more like a variation of a corn dog (shape wise). He loved the chilli. The third member of our party had a grilled arctic char salad which he enjoyed. The salad looked great and is definitely on my list of things to try on a future visit. read more

Probably 4.5 Just went to a wedding party at Alloy. Haven't been here for three years but is still as tasty as ever. Tuna appetizer was really tasty as was the short ribs. Made the short ribs that we had at Bocce the other night seem so much more ordinary in comparison. Salmon was great. Chocolate cake dessert was divine. read more

Extremely nice atmosphere and delicious food. A little expensive in some arenas but over all a very good experience.

Went to Alloy for our normal Thursday date night. The place is a bit out of the way, and my understanding is that it 'used to be' a fairly hip place. But we were honestly underwhelmed. Started with some complementary hummus and naan which was quite good, then on to the appetizers. We tried the scallops in a yellow curry sauce. My friend like them, but I felt like the sauce totally overwhelmed the scallops -- there was no taste left, and they were a bit overcooked to my liking. The duck spring rolls were not too bad -- definitely filled with duck, but little else, so they were simultaneously a bit greasy on the inside and a bit dry and crispy on the outside. My friend tried the lingcod over a brazilian tomato sauce -- fish was cooked perfectly, but we felt it was way overseasoned -- too salty. I tried the braised short ribs, also cooked well, but again felt like it was just a bit too salty. The service was adequate, but by no means spectacular. The decor is a mid-century modern vibe, but it seems a bit old-school -- and the crowd was decidedly 'older' as well. The whole restaurant had a strange smell, sortof like a mix between my grandmother's house, and an overtone of fish. And, I hate to say it, knowing that many restaurants are struggling in this economy, but I felt everything was overpriced. The entrees were about $5 more than what we felt was appropriate -- appetizers and wine were $2-$3 more. All in all we felt it wasn't too bad, but just didn't really impress us much. We probably won't repeat. read more

My favorite restaurant in Calgary! Lobster tempura and ahi tuna tartar are my favorite apps. I have always had the fish special for dinner and haven't been disappointed once. Miss the coconut crepe though since they changed the menu. read more

Four friends and myself ate at Alloy for my Birthday dinner last night and I must say I was not overly impressed. The decor is unique and the atmosphere was cool but that just does not make up for average food at an above average price. If it were not for the food I think I would give this place a 4! But in the end that is what tells the real story for me. We all tried a different starter, main and we shared a few salads so I can certainly say I gave it a fair chance. Service was friendly but did not seem overly knowledgeable, no food descriptions or desire created, Dish presentation was quite nice, Food was sub par, I kept expecting to be wowed by one of the 12 + dishes we ordered but in the end the candle burnt out and we were left with a hefty bill and disappointed taste buds. I may go back when the patio is open on a nice day to give it one more shot but that will be long after I try several other places on the bookmark list including some repeats to places like The Muse and Rouge where I would gladly spend my time and money :) read more

Absolutely a favorite. Very cool, modern setting impresses from the minute you walk in. It gets better from there. Excellent service from everyone there. Very helpful with suggestions and pairings. Excellent wine list as well. A bit more expensive but worth it. Excellent value all around and somewhere I'll be back soon. read more

Malbec wine was wonderful. Beef ribs were to die for; tasty and tender. Jason our server was marvelously enjoyable. We had a great experience. read more

Great atmosphere and service, food was not bad. One recommendation though: the Icelandic Lingcod entree needs reconsideration as the "forbidden rice" is essentially a sweet, purple glutinous rice which was paired with the lime coconut reduction sauce. This is actually a very popular Asian dessert dish (Google purple rice with coconut milk). As a result, this innovative-sounding dish ended up tasting quite repulsive as it had the savory, crusted fish sitting on top of what's essentially a dessert. You can imagine how difficult it is to stomach that. read more

Definitely overrated. I've heard positive reviews from a number of people, and had to check it out (went for dinner on November 12th). Appetizers were good, and dinner was average. I had the pasta, and my wife had the duck. Claiming that the pasta is made fresh / in-house, it sure didn't taste that way. My wife's duck was ok - but was nothing to write home about. As far as ambiance is concerned, for a place that tries to brand itself as a fine dining establishment it was far too noisy and the cuisine was not up to the standard it should be. A superficial glance is appealing, but when you look closer it's really an old building with concrete walls and a very cold/empty feel to it. The pictures on the website look good - but in person it's just not the same. read more

Loved it! I will definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a nice night out! and Perhaps a date night in the near future there. The food was superb, service good and the atmosphere was great! I had the surf and turf and the meat was fabulous and tasty! read more

I have to say I really wish they had more unique items on their menu but I do love the atmosphere. Very chic!

Unique make over of a cinder block building into a stylish contemporary restaurant with a beautiful patio for alfresco dining. All for of us ordered different starters, entrees and dessert. All were delicious. The short ribs melted in your mouth. The duck was cooked to perfection. The peanut butter and banana bread pudding was heaven on a plate. Service was outstanding. Wine prices were reasonable. Will definitely dine here again. read more

Stunning! Beautiful atmosphere, love the decorating and the lighting. Amazing food, probably dome of the best I've ever had! Our server was lovely, very attentive. Expensive, but worth it! Will definitely be back! read more

Today was the 2nd time I dined here - lunch both times. The first time was amazing, but this time was even better. When I took my first little taste of the roasted tomato soup, I almost screamed out loud, it was so yummy. The server was charming and attentive and was obviously enthusiastic about this place. (I like it when the wait staff act like they like the food there too!) And it's a very pretty restaurant, too. Very pleasant place to be. Good job, Alloy folks! read more

My experience at Alloy was not outstanding at all. The main reason why I was dissapointed was the unusal long waiting time. It took like half an hour for the waitress to even take our order. Nedless to say that the mains took forever to come out. And the food was good but nothing special. Especially the high prices keep your hopes up for something outstanding but it was just average good food. I had the Beef with the gnocchi which was fine, my boyfriend hat the shellfish which turned out to be three scallops and three prawns. He had a piece of pizza at home after :) Overall in my opinion it`s a nice place but there are tons of other places in Calgary that you can do so much better with!! read more

Hugely DISAPPOINTING. This is my second and LAST time at this restaurant. My husband and I went with my sister and brother-in-law for a special occasion. I will start with the positives - the truffle gnocchi appetizer and the wine recommended to us was fabulous. Now the negatives: My sister and I ordered the same entrée - the soy miso chicken. Neither of us could eat it. The chicken was overcooked thus very dry and exceptionally salty - no miso favour apparent, just store bought bottled soya sauce. The "special potatoes" were like glue and were presented by the server as "Tim Bits". Our server did not once return to enquire if we were enjoying our meals. When she finally showed up, the men had finished theirs; she asked if she could box our full plates up for us!!! We expressed our disappointment; she took our meals away and came back to say the Manager and Chef agreed the meal was overly-salty. Neither the manager nor the chef took the time to respond to our disappointment at our table. Our server offered a replacement meal or complimentary dessert. Since it took AGES for us to get our meals, we opted for the dessert. A new (server?) served our dessert and left. She did not even ask if anyone wanted coffee!! The dessert was a joke - a "de-constructed" rhubarb crisp - an attempt at being creative but missed the mark entirely. We ate it because we were starving. My brother-in-law felt his salmon was raw but he didn't complain. The issue is that ANY fine-dining establishment would have explained how the salmon would be prepared and asked if this would be acceptable. This would have ensured the customer would not be disappointed. When we received our bill, our two barely-touched entrees were fully charged; dessert was complimentary. SO VERY DISAPPOINTING to experience such POOR SERVICE AND FOOD. I accept that things can go wrong in a kitchen but the solution offered, the lack concern on behalf of management, and 5 star prices make this a DO NOT RETURN restaurant. read more

The food at Alloy is fab, the service is even better!! We chose Alloy as our venue for dinner before going to see Beauty and the Beast at the Jubilee and were so glad with our decision. The waitresses were all lovely and catered to our every whim, which included additional appetizer choices, drink switches, and requests for wine suggestions. For appetizers we had the Duck Terrine, Truffle Gnocchi, Calamari, and Beef Tartar. All were delicious, but the Duck Terrine definitely took all the attention. It was the perfect combination of sweet and salty, and is a must order if you go! For mains, our table tried the Pork, the Duck Breast, and the Chef's Special Elk. The duck was again the winner here. The meat was rich and well seasoned, pairing beautifully with the maple parsnip purée and salty brussel sprout leaves. Some may find the brussel sprouts too salty, but we thought that the saltiness helped cut the rich sweetness of the rest of the dish. The Pork and Elk were also tasty, though the Pork Belly was a large piece which affected the texture and ended up going mostly uneaten. Dessert was amazing in it's own right. We loved the Lemon Custard; so tart and acidic, a perfect ending to the meal. The Chai Spice Cheesecake was good, if a little one dimensional, and won't become a cult favourite unless you absolutely love candied ginger, which is the dominant flavour in the dish. The chilli chocolate soufflé was a big hit with one of my family members, though I didn't try it. All in all, Alloy has some amazing food, great service, and a beautiful atmosphere. If you are on the fence about making a reservation, let me give you the final push. This place will become a staple on our list of favourite restaurants! read more

really quite perfect.. The service was not rushed, the server helpful and friendly but not overbearing. The appetizers were not minuscule overpriced nothings but rather tasty multilayer treats. The mains were a reasonable size with awesome veg. The care taken in choosing seasonal specials and veg was a welcome thought. A very nice night and very reasonably priced. read more

This is my first review that I have posted and I had such an infuriating experience at this restaurant that it caused me to create an account and post a comment. Number 1, the south (outside of Downtown) is seriously lacking a variety of great restaurant choices. My girlfriend and I work close to Alloy and we gave it a try for the first time about three months after it originally opened. Our experience was not great, the food mediocre at best, but the atmosphere pleasant. Almost a year later, we decided to give it another try. Both she and I went in with open minds. We were sat down by a friendly hostess at a table quickly. We ordered as follows: 1) Devil Egg Salad 2) Appetizer Ravioli 3) Moroccan Trout 4) Pumpkin Cheesecake The salad arrived and I do give them points for trying to be creative but this salad was off. The dressing was bland - it reminded me of mayonnaise blended with paprika and a little bit of lime juice (tasted pretty generic), it also tasted like BBQ - not overly refreshing and the edges of our lettuce did not look fresh. We cracked the provided for egg over the salad and the yolk was a bright orange, so at least the egg came from a free range hen which was nice and it did have fresh grated parmesan on it which was also nice. But overall, this salad was not awesome it was actually quite bland and generic despite its creative appearance. My recommendation - work on the dressing, add more lemon, basil or a mint to freshen it up. Ease up on the paprika and smoky taste and ALWAYS serve with fresh, crisp lettuce. 2) Appetizer ravioli - Chef (as he was referred to by our server) needs to spend some time working on his dough skills. The ravioli was doughy, undercooked and sloppy. You get two pieces of ravioli in this sloppy appetizer...not that you would want anymore because it's not enjoyable. Chef needs to spend some time with Baba who makes actual dough. In the meantime, I would hold off on serving this dish. 3) Moroccan Trout - this was the best of the four courses...the fish was cooked properly, but the flavor in the risotto was off. The risotto that accompanied it was also cooked well but again this dish not bursting with flavor. 4) Pumpkin Cheesecake - when brought to us, the server said, "this is our dismantled cheesecake prepared by chef"...honestly, it looked like a baby vomited bile all over our plate and then tried to cover its mess up with stale meringue mixed with pumpkin seeds. The flavor seriously lacking, the pumpkin seeds unroasted fit poorly with the hardened meringue that tasted week old. A real disappointment. For this meal, the two of us paid without wine or drinks, $100.00. I am a big foodie. I love to cook, I love to buy fresh groceries and I love to eat out at yummy restaurants and I don't mind at all paying high prices for creative good food. Alloy for the second time was a real disappointment. In addition, remember the table that we were quickly seated at when we arrived? Well it was close to a server's station door. For the entire meal, the door opened and shut nonstop, dropped plates, talking, etc...not awesome. My recommendation: Remove that table...there were plenty of empty tables in the restaurant and that one table is just not needed, get rid of it and give your servers the appropriate space they deserve and your patrons the appropriate privacy they deserve. My review for this restaurant: Way overpriced for the quality of food. read more

Food is delicious. Our table had beef tartar, beet salad and prosciutto and melon. Those were all presented well good flavours. Had the beef short ribs, was absolutely delicious. Very tastes and to risotto was very good. The lam chops were also ordered, they were tastey but under cooked. The waiter had informed us the chief does recommend them to be cooked medium so that is the way we went for our order but when they came out they appeared to be rare. Still good flavour but needed to be cooked more. Service the waiter seemed to be off as a result we didn't get the service he's probably capable of. He was just there to take the order, wasn't very fast to come around or wasn't very engaged in suggestions or quick. read more

Alloy can make complex favours sing in concert with each other, everything you will experience there will make dining new again.

Food was pretty good but nothing that blew us away. Service was slow, sat for ten minutes after walking in with water and menus only. That set the tone and it didn't get any better, he took so long after dropping off the dessert menus that we just decided to go home. We wouldn't go back. read more

My husband took me here for our anniversary lunch. It's kind of in a weird location but it's nicely decorated once you get inside. The hostess was friendly and took us to our table when we arrived. Our waitress was not rude or anything... but the service was pretty bad. She never came by once to refill our water and when she asked how our meal was, she literally didn't even wait for an answer and just walked away. Why bother asking if you aren't going to stay and listen to the answer? Seemed odd. If she's have waited for an answer, we would have told her the food was horrible. I ordered the seafood hot pot and my husband got a chicken sandwich. My hot pot tasted like instant ramen noodles with a handful of tiny shrimp and some ahi tuna that basically just tasted like salt. My husband's chicken sandwich was burnt. He said the only thing that had any flavour (other than the taste of being burnt) was the sauce and that the bun was rock hard. The hostess and bus boy were friendly and the decor was nice so I give it 2 stars. But the food was probably the worst food I've had in a restaurant in a while. Won't be returning and definitely don't recommend to anyone. read more

We went here as a party of four: overall the service was subpar, and the food was not worth the money.... also, there was a weird smell all of us noticed upon walking in. We all concluded it smelled like a dirty bathroom in the entire dining room. Something that concerned us all about the facility (maybe a toilet blew up somewhere?). 1) Service: I had told the hostess on the side that we were celebrating a birthday, and she assured us the waiter would be informed so we wouldn't have to mention it in front of the birthday person. She said they would provide a complimentary dessert with a candle. It never happened. We were even charged for the dessert we ordered. The waiter was inattentive and unsociable. He took our order, and served without us even checking in to see how the food was. I waited the entire meal for him to come by so I could tell him something was wrong with my food. He never came until it was too late to even bother complaining. The restaurant wasn't even full, and it was a monday night. Among the worst services at a fine dining restaurant we have ever had. 2) Food quality: we each ordered a different dish. I had braised beef short ribs that came with a squash cannelloni as a starch, and broccollini as the vegetable. The beef short ribs were very good (but how can you really mess up a braised dish?). The meat fell apart nicely when you cut into it, and the broccollini was cooked well. But the cannelloni tasted like raw flour, filling and all. I have never tasted any starch that bad before. It was awful. I even had my fiance try it, who usually eats almost anything, and he hated it. I wanted to like it so much, but I have never had anything from a restaurant taste so disgusting in my life. I made sure neither of us touched it anymore because I was worried we might get food poisoning from the raw flour. I usually don't send food back, but this time I wanted to send it back but the waiter never came to check on us, so I just finished the beef and vegetables and left the entire cannelloni (I didn't want to make a fuss especially with our friends around). But he never came back until it was time to take everyone's empty plates. He never even mentioned or asked why my cannelloni was pretty much untouched. I was REALLY disappointed in the service. I never had a chance to even express to the waiter how I was served raw flour in my starch dish. I let him take it away without saying a word, because it was getting late into the evening. The rest of the food: The pheasant, like other reviews stated, was dry and tasted like chicken. Apparently the yam puree it came with was good though. Overall our party rated it not worth the $33 they charged. The featured fish dish (steelhead trout), was okay but nothing to sing home about for $30. Anyone could easily take a piece of store-bought salmon, stick it in the oven, come out with something like what they served. It tasted like a cheap piece of salmon. The broek pork was actually pretty decent. I usually don't go for pork chops because they are often tough and dry. But this one was pretty tender and nicely marinated. It came with a tasty side of braised kale. This was $29, and probably the best of the four dishes. My beef short ribs would have been my favorite if it wasn't for the gigantic piece of raw dough in the middle of the plate that pretty ruined my palette and the entire dish. Dessert was okay, it was the chocolate and peanut butter pate. The menu said it came with roasted peanuts, but there wasn't a single peanut. They did sprinkle little flower petals all over the dessert which frankly made it really annoying to eat around. OH, and before I forget, their appetizers: We got the Duck duo (duck pate and duck chorizo sausage), which was super pretentious - the pate was NOT good. I have had MUCH better elsewhere. This one tasted TOO 'livery' - a good pate (especially Foie Gras) does not have that strong liver taste. Even if its made of fattened liver, it should taste smooth and rich, not bitter. The chorizo duck sausage didn't taste like anything special. Not worth the $16 they charge. The shimp/crab corn fritters were decent, but overpriced. 5 balls of little fritters for $15... Okay but not a great price for what you get. Overall: like other people, we agree its not worth the money. There are some decent dishes, but with all of the hit and misses on their menu, I wouldn't eat here again if I can help it. The first time I went to this restaurant should have been a red flag, when they coated my steak so heavily with peppercorn, it burned my throat and mouth. I couldn't even taste the actual meat, and sadly couldn't finish the dish - I hate wasting food. All 4 of us regretted coming here. We wish we went for a nice affordable place with less pretentious food, and doesn't serve raw flour to you. Also, the smell of rotten toilet didn't help. read more

As soon as we walked up to the door and smelled the Korean Lilacs in the beautifully landscaped entry, I knew we were in for a treat. The interior is light and airy, the courtyard is fully enclosed - you feel you are dining in a secret garden. We were served complementary hummus and olives with hot homemade pita to enjoy whilst perusing the menu. The pork tenderloin was done to perfection, with amazing accompaniments (wrapped in toasty serrano ham, topped with pommegranate seeds, and accompanied with vanilla cauliflower puree - are you kidding me?). All our food was nothing short of spectacular, except for a slightly-too-salty calamari. Excellent service, interesting cocktails, unusual dessert wines, decadent desserts - and a free one for our birthday boy. DIVINE!! read more

Went for a special dinner last night and the food and service did not disappoint. I started with a blood orange margarita and it was very tasty. The seared tuna appetizer was delicious and I like the fact that it is one of the menu items that is designated as a "mealshare", which means they donate money to feed the food insecure every time someone orders it. We also split a crab cake that was huge and placed on a sauce that I could have licked off the plate. I had the halibut with langoustine fritters for my main and it was a perfect balance of flavours and textures. For dessert, we had the flourless chocolate cake and the hot pepper flakes on top made it beyond delicious. The only thing I didn't love was the fact the guy in the booth beside / behind us had his big arm around his date and was coming perilously close to touching us. The booths are spacious and comfortable but I'd prefer not to be that close to a stranger. read more

It is with great disappointment that I would need to write this review. I have been to this restaurant a few time although it's been awhile my dinning experience was fantastic until last night. The food was terrible way too salty I sent back my meal 3 times was told the the chef working was not the regular chef ( owner) we were told that the chef last night tends to add extra salt! I suspect by that comment our waiter was not surprised by my comment. So those of you who like salty food and or add salt to your food this is the place to go as you will not be disappointed. For those of us who prefer to actually taste the food AVOID this place. The quality has gone down. Atmosphere; inside same no change, nice; Outside: cheap patio furniture uncomfortable. Service is terrible apparently you will need to purchase the bottle wine no tasting here just luck! You are wiser to go to a regular franchise restaurant at the very least they will apologize and will offer to provide a free desert or something for the unpleasant experience. Alloy does not! I did recommend this restaurant once as of today this will be one to truly AVOID! read more
