The Arctic Char and Chicken Supreme were tasty. Quality not Quantity is key and it was Quality. I also liked that we recieved complimentary Hummus/Bread to stave off the initial hunger so we could really enjoy the flavors.

Mole is often a thick chocolate complex spicy sauce but this was thin and kinda salsa-like with just two slices off a chicken breast. The desert was another disappointment. Tiramisu lady fingers had no hint of a good coffee soaked chocolate treat. Your experience may vary.

We enjoyed the truffle mushroom gnocchi, scallops, and foie gras pate. However, we were not impressed with the ahi tuna nachos as there wasn't enough tuna and it was overpowered by tomatoes. There was also not enough guacamole for three people to share. The marinaded olives were a hit though, even for someone who doesn't usually like olives. Overall, the experience was enjoyable but not enough to make me want to return quickly.

We were lucky enough to get a table on their patio close to the fountain and brook. Their menu is excellent, pork tenderloin, steelhead trout, beef short ribs etc. They offer a tempura shrimp dish as an appetizer, and I have had that before, but on this hot night I chose the watermelon salad which was perfect. Whether a business lunch, dinner or a romantic evening out, Alloy is one of my favorites in Calgary.
