My husband and I just had our wedding at ALE this past weekend. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect- and that was all thanks to Ben and the staff at ALE. We chose ALE as our wedding venue after meeting with Ben because of how thorough, knowledgeable and approachable he was. We were also extremely impressed with how much ALE includes in their wedding packages from decor setup and takedown, assistance with DJ booking, chair and linen rental, day-of-coordination, etc. they do it all! The atmosphere throughout the day was perfect from the outdoor ceremony space to the indoor reception area, especially the added bonus of a covered patio. Our guests have been raving non-stop about the food, the cocktails, and most of all the staff at ALE. Even external vendors commended the dedication of the ALE staff, specifically Ben for his hands-on coordination. He helped us every step of the way in our planning and was our right-hand man on the day of doing everything from organizing the wedding party, setting up the first look, helping set up our photos with our photographers and even helping with my veil and dress. We cannot recommended ALE enough for a wedding or any other event- I wish we could do it all over again! We will certainly be back in the future.

Great experience! The venue is beautiful and the food is fantastic! They have a great variety for food and drink. There is a full regular menu and a full plant based. I got the Lavender gin fizz, plant based portobello taco flight and the plant based poutine. I tried the drink with and without gin and they were both really freshening. The food was fantastic. The poutine was so good I thought they made a mistake and gave me the regular kind. The tacos are really really good! I’m not strictly plant based and I would choose those over a lot of meat tacos. Thank you to Shannon you make damn fine drinks! Thanks for checking in on us and making sure we had everything we needed. Emily was our server she was fun and had a great energy! She checked in on us regularly and was such a joy to be around!

A great place for dinner, especially for vegan food! I had the Buddha bowl and it was hearty and fresh, and a good size, as well as a side of sweet potato fries, which was good but there weren't all that many. Other orders at my group were equally tasty: the falafel bowl, vegan tacos, and black bean burger with fries. The standard fries looked a lot better than the sweet potato fries, so it would have been nice to have larger crispier sweet potato fries too. Only other complaint is that one cup came with a lipstick stain, but the waiter was quick to change it. Despite these, the atmosphere and food were great so 5 stars!

Great vegetarian and vegan options. Happy hour from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. very nice outdoor area to eat. Service could be slow if busy but relaxing atmosphere. We will definitely go back

ALE is an amazing restaurant, and also a wonderful wedding venue. My spouse and I had our wedding in October 2024, and the experience was everything we could have hoped for. As vegans something we valued was a completely vegan wedding, but even our non vegan guests had a blast! We would highly recommend for a night out or for a special event!

We got married at ALE in September 2024, and we can't thank this venue enough for making our day absolutely perfect! From start to finish, the team went above and beyond to ensure everything ran seamlessly. First off, Ben is an absolute ALL-STAR when it comes to every little detail on your big day. He’s there every step of the way—holding your dress, fetching water, assisting with photos, answering questions, directing guests—you name it, he does it. His dedication made such a difference, and we truly couldn’t have asked for better support. The entire ALE team was an absolute pleasure to work with—attentive, kind, and incredibly organized. They handled everything, from the stunning decor to the delicious food, making the entire planning process stress-free. Our wedding had about 80 guests for dinner, plus 20 more in the evening, and the venue was the perfect size for our group. A huge bonus is that it’s located on a gorgeous golf course—they even close off a hole so you can take sunset photos! The garden ceremony space was equally stunning, creating the most beautiful backdrop for our vows. If you’re looking for a venue that truly takes care of everything and makes your wedding day magical, ALE is the place. We couldn’t be happier with our experience!

Wow, their food is amazing! We ordered from the vegan menu. The sweet potato fries were perfectly crispy and came with a really tasty spicy chipotle dip. I've had fish and chips made from eggplant at other places before and didn't like the taste or texture, but this one was excellent! The slaw had a really nice and unique flavour; I'd never had it with dill spice before. And the tacos were soooo good. I don't know how they managed it, but these tacos tasted like smoked oysters to me - a flavour I hadn't been able to find in vegan food yet. 5 stars isn't enough for this place; we will definitely be coming back.
