   Truly the worst restuarant I have ever had the displeasure of visiting the food was so disgusting that the first course was hardly touched- and they did not seem to care Then came the main course - how can the simplest spaghetti dish go so wrong. It was so full of grit and other matter that did not belong in a Vongole that I had to push it aside in disgust ..We had to leave the restaurant the food was just inexplicably disgusting. Frankly the cooks and kitchen staff should be reviewed such was the appalling mess of the starter. Plain Fried zucchini that came out almost black, soggy and bits of old cucumber pieces that possibly were already in the mixing bowl - you could not make it up I could say more - but you get the gist ?!! How is it possible … maybe only because it sits within a 4 star hotel? Or a manager who was on the phone all through the saga… Truly felt sorry For the poor waiter

   I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this wonderful restaurant. The service was second  to know. From the moment I walked into the restaurant I felt like I was generally welcomed and valued as guest, even though this was my first time there. Our waiter, I believe his name was Ben was straight out of central casting I believe he was Romanian and made us feel welcome made very good suggestions, including the chef special halibut, and once again made us feel like a valued longtime guest. We also had the Franzino, which was cooked tableside – or at least deboned table side and it was extremely tasty and Weil I prefer Dover Sole and blame John Gotti for the rise of branzino once again. I must say this was well. Well, I know there are a lot of restaurants in New York. I know I’ll be back to this one on my next visit.

   This was our first time at Allora but it won't be our last! The dining room is beautiful and well laid out. The service was impeccable and so was the food. I had the Branzino, which is filleted and prepared table side and it was excellent. My wife had Veal Parmesean, bone in, and it was superb. My daughter had the Veal Scallopini in a Marsala and it was wonderful. We started our meal by sharing Clams Oreganata and Prosciutto and Melon which was perfect. We finished with Creme Brulee and Tiramisu which topped off an altogether perfect meal. The menu had many other dishes I plan on trying as I become a regular at Allora!

   Didn’t take our order for 30+ minutes then waited over an hour for our food. Our waiter spoke to us once and never showed up again. When we asked for the check it took them almost 15 minutes to bring it. While waiting for the check we were asked to move tables and “enjoy our water over there”. The staff was consistently apologetic but equally negligent. Food was good, but everyone around us experienced similar services issues.

   We made a reservation for 8:00pm. When we arrived we were told that we had to wait for our table. After waiting for more than 30 minutes we decided to leave. The restaurant clearly does not manage its reservation system very well

   The staff was friendly, but very slow. We were rushed out after waiting for food for 30 minutes after ordering. Food was average, noise level was super loud. Skip this one if you can!

   I am sorry, but I read the reviews and was terribly misled. The food was banquet food. The salmon was frozen, not fresh. Terrible. Aalora you need to up your game.. don’t be misled that it’s on 5th Ave., New York City, or that it has tablecloths or the presentation, pictures, menu online. Very expensive.

    The food was ok, but not much more. The service was slow and inattentive.
