Being a guy who learned to play squash in my twenties, with little to no instruction, I learned to…read moredo a lot of things... the wrong way. About 5 years into my squash career, I got some lessons, fixed a bunch of things and slowly got better. I had been able to take my game to a relatively strong level of squash, but I just couldn't seem to break into feeling comfortable at the A level. With some very subtle tweaks, and some not so subtle, Shahier was able to break down inefficiencies in both my swing and my movement. After working on and applying my newly acquired knowledge, I saw massive improvements in my ability to hit the ball with much greater accuracy, weight of shot, and (when needed) effortless power. I can't say enough about my experiences at the Squash Revolution camp. I've attended the Toronto camp 3 years in a row and plan on a fourth. I learn something new and invaluable every time. One on one coaching, great drills, match strategy, footwork, technical and to end off, you get to have Shahier grind you to exhaustion in game play. Shahier is a former top PSA player -his squash skills and knowledge are at the highest level. See you next summer.

Shahier teams up with Amr Shabana, Greg Gaultier, Shona Kerr (Wesleyan) & the rest of the team. Unbelievable experience to move from a good to great player.

I went around 5pm on a weekday. Had a $10 martini (HH price), half dozen oysters, endive salad, French onion soup, and their crème brûlée... ate everything. Would have licked the plates. 1) it was a strong martini. Lovely 2) BEAUTIFUL oysters and I eat a lot of oysters 3) sweet and nutty endive salad. Crunchy from the nuts, crispy from the endives, sweet dressing with some chili flakes to wrap it all together. Didn't lick my plate, but I did lick my fork all the way to my fingers 4) hearty French onion soup. Wasn't too salty. Good amount of bread and cheese. Fabulous. Comforting 5) ended it all with crème brûlée. Not the smoothest, but they had vanilla bean in it and a nice crust on top, so I'm not complaining.

After years of having this place on my radar, a friend and I finally came here for breakfast and we…read morewere not disappointed. We arrived shortly after they opened, the aesthetic is eclectic and simple. The seating arrangements are comfortable and available indoors and outdoors. We both got their classic breakfast with double smoked bacon; I opted for a beer ginger drink and my friend ordered a chai latte with oat milk. She really enjoyed her drink, and it was a decent size. Whereas my beer and ginger juice was delicious yet on the small side, especially since ice cubes took up a lot of space. As for the meal itself, the eggs with crème fraîche was out of this world! They were the most delicious eggs I've ever eaten. I wish the portion was slightly bigger. The double smoked bacon was perfectly cooked and not greasy. It was thick and not overly salty. They fill up the rest of the plate with 3-4 slices of sourdough and I appreciated that they butters the toast and offered us jam. Overall the plate was fresh and delicious. I' savoured each bite. The service was good, attentive and friendly. Towards the end of our meal, it was getting busy and the noise volume increased, so just a heads up to anyone who doesn't like loud spaces. The music was on point though and I can imagine on a warmer day, the patio would also be a cool vibe to experience. One note I feel is needed to mention is the bathroom. I almost missed the steps descending down to the bathroom because the area is poorly lit. This is a safety issue. Secondly, if you're tall like me, the stalls are very tight and claustrophobic. I barely had any room in the stall and it was very uncomfortable; be careful if you're bringing your purse/phone cause there's no space and I could easily see how things can drop in the toilet. I would highly recommend the business investing into this a little more.

The prix fixe is available as 2 course or 3 course, with a slightly lower cost for 3 course vegetarian. There is also a fairly extensive cocktail and wine menu. We went with 2, 2 course meals, sharing the appetizer and dessert. For the appetizer we had the "Feuilleté au Chèvre", a baked potato, leek and goats cheese pastry with a side garden salad. The salad was well dressed, with a great mustard based dressing. The tart was perfectly composed, great balance of pastry, vegetables and cheese. For the entrees, we had the "Magret de Canard" and "Coq au Vin". Both were excellent - perfectly cooked, and great accompaniments; but the red wine sauce with the chicken was the standout. For dessert we shared the "Clafoutis aux Poires", pears baked in thin layers of pastry with vanilla ice cream. It was freshly baked, and not too sweet - so a great end to the dinner. The overall service was great - well timed, not over bearing and friendly. This is a great place for the the special occasion or treat;

One move inside to bar stools, two glasses of champagne on the house and another move to a table later, we finally got the cozy dinner vibe we had anticipated. We selected the 3 course dinner and were not disappointed. After a questionable decision to not eat lunch but have snacks, we weee understandably starving. The tomato tart and salad were delicious.

In all, this was a great dinner and a great save by our server, you can tell he just really wanted to make sure we have a nice dinner for our anniversary. It is quite a small restaurant so I know they were absolutely doing the best they could. Cheers!

They have a couple other off-brand spots like Aloette and Aloette Go which each offer different things but Alo is the flagship and the Michelin Star. Right off the bat, I thought it was just alright. At $250 per person its definitely a hefty price for the 10 course. Variety is great in terms of each dish tasting distinctly different and flavours being quite unique. Nothing really blew me off my socks though. Some things that were good include the dungeness crab appetizer, east coast lobster, and strawberry petits fours. Service as you'd expect is excellent, with each dish being explained in detail and very attentive. Not sure if I overhyped this place in my own head but at $250 the bar is really high!

The restaurant has a retro style of renovation and is quite empty even on weekends maybe because the food quality doesn't attract as many customers.

For mains, both the sea bass and the beef were not fresh. Flavouring was ok. The chocolate mousse dessert was very weird. It was more bitter than sweet and super frozen and dense. I wouldn't call it a dessert. Overall, this is not a restaurant I would recommend. Nor worth the money.
