We love Joey (so much that we visited twice this week!)! Drinks are generous, fresh and fun! For food, we enjoyed the sliders (really, really good!), the bacon and cheddar burger (decadent!), the sushi cone (always a fave), the French Dip “sliders” which were tasty and lighter, truffle fries (yummy!) and the lobster tacos (excellent). Service was efficient and friendly and that, and food quality, were consistently good. Will absolutely be back again!!

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.

We requested a booth on the reservation and they didnt reserve one at first but then were able to accomodate us. The server was great, very friendly and quick. The food and drinks were delicious. Ambience is perfect for all occasions. Only note the prime rib cut was very fatty, and it took 3 ladies at the front to issue me a single gift card… more training i think is needed.
