    The service could not have been better. All of them had a very friendly smile. The food came on time, in faster than I would have not (not that it was too early).

    By the time we left I was equal parts upset we had not been to Alaro sooner and excited to come back as soon as possible. Excellent food, great beer and cocktails and even better service. And the patio is perfect.

    We went for Mothers Day and it took us over an hour to get our food. Waitress was sympathetic and kept us in the loop on our order. Which was much appreciated. The food was mediocre. We had been there before and the food was subpar from our prior visit. The restaurant was maybe 3 quarters full. We will defiantly be back when it’s not a special occasion brunch. The kitchen must of been overwhelmed.

    I always have a great time at Alaro. Great food and beer! I can't come without ordering some frickles. I brought my husband and his family for their first visit, and my mother in law is excited to come back for paella next month.
