Fabulous!

Friendly attentive& Professional service! Beautiful main course! Such " Grown up food."

The seating is terrific it is open but private. Unless the next table is shouting, their conversation is not heard.

Only slight down side for me - slightly over cooked Chocolate souffle -- like a grainy chocolate cake in a cup. Big Pity. But oh the Pear & Shiraz cocktail was just special.

Whole evening beautiful. Value for money absolutely!   (chriss - See my reviews (3) - July, 2010)

our 35th wedding anniversary.had dined here 35 years ago on our honeymoon.excellent food and service however paying extra for carrots and beans seems a little gauche.beautiful view.showed original menu of 35 years ago to staff;they weren't interested.a lovely night spoilt by lack of consideration.you also don't cut beef in half to serve it as medium to well done.   (ace - January, 2010)

Had a great night - view was great, and the food and service was great!   (July, 2009)

We had an excellent dinner though we thought the service was a little lacking. For example, one person in our group had a severe nut allergy which we stated in our booking and to the waiting staff. He was served desert with a nut brittle on top.

The menu was simply a piece of printed paper with no folder or anything to make it a little more special, and the changes were told to us instead of being reprinted or shown on a blackboard.

Otherwise the food and the views were spectacular.   (Bruce - January, 2009)

We had a great night, food was delicious, ambience was perfect, the staff were friendly and helpful.

We had family over from Scotland, thought it would be a terrific way for them to view Canberra and they weren't disappointed. January 2009

The staff was very friendly and helpful. With a setting like that you would feel cheated if your food are served within minutes. We had ample time to enjoy the 360degree views and sunset. Only one thing that was out of place was the wine glasses that had cloth fibres on them. After asking for a replacement only one glass was changed and refilled. The other glass was left and we did not want to go through the whole excercise, spoiling the moment.

Apart from that we had a wonderfull time, and will visit Alto again in future.   (January, 2009)

A gruop of 8 went to this restaurant on a Tuesday night to celibrate a 70th birthday. The food was good, and views great, but that is where the goodness stops.

After 30 minutes of waiting we went to the bar to get pre dinner drinks, after which the waitress arrived to take food orders. When entrees arrived, even with instruction the waitress delivered the plates to the wrong people, leaving us to change the plates around - not something you would expect in a low quality restaurant let alone an establishment touting itself as top quality.

Half an hour after entree arrived the waitress approached the table to advise that there was no calimari for the whiting, and could this garnish be left out - again not something one would expect in a top quality restaurant.

Two hours after our arrival, our main meals were served, well 6 of them were, the remainig 2 arrived 5 minutes later, another 5 minutes after that the side orders of vegtables arrived.....

Canberra has a lot of good quality restaurants that serve food of equal or better quality with much better service, for half the price. The only thing that you can't get is the view!   (Alto review - January, 2009)
