    Had a 6 pm reservation. Was seated on time. Staff pleasant and professional. Service a little slow. It was Christmas Eve. Very busy. Salad very good. Had the rib eye with butter and garlic sauce. Au gratin potatoes. All very good. Wife had filet mignon. Baked potato and Brussel sprouts. She liked it a lot. All very good for $95 w/o tip. Wife is a baker so we didn’t have desert. I would come again. Server was very good once she got things going.

    We had a perfect experience at Allora for Christmas Eve dinner. It was our first time here (we recently moved to Sac from the Bay Area), and we definitely will return. Well thought out menu, creative and accessible presentations, and stellar ingredients. The front of the house team was friendly and very accommodating. I highly recommend Allora and we are so pleased that we found it.
