    Over all Alora was great! Beautiful ambiance and friendly staff. The food was great but the chicken salad lacked the amount of toppings. Two of us had to ask for more of the toppings. Also the lamb was really good but some of it was undercooked. They didn’t even ask how we would wanted it cook. And that’s why I give it an overall 4. Otherwise we enjoyed our night very much. Would go back.

    The service and ambiance were great, but the food was just okay and not worth the price. Charging for bread after offering it before the appetizer felt misleading. Wouldn’t rush back.

    The food was amazing and the service was extremely friendly, courteous, and they offered a free birthday treat. They also allowed us to bring in outside gluten free dessert since they didn’t have a gluten free option on their menu that worked for us. It was a really nice night!

    We really liked this restaurant. The cocktails were excellent - especially the ''Secret Rose'' if you like basil, you will appreciate this creation! Our meals were delicious (NY STRIPLOIN STEAK & GRILLED LAMB) good quantity and good presentation. The design of the restaurant is absolutely magnificent! We also had a very good service!

    Nice restaurant, great food. I don't believe you get value for your money: Food is on the higher side and doesn't match the relax and plain decor of the restaurant.
