    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.

    Food was amazing, as usual. We had 8 of the 10 dishes on the menu with 2 desserts shared between the 4 of us. We left feeling pleasantly satisfied. Unfortunately I've forgotten our servers name, but he was great! Divided our dishes up in to courses so our table never felt crowded. Did an excellent job of answering all of our questions and describing all the food and drinks brought to the table. Over a great experience. High level of quality and execution, in a more relaxed and cozy environment.

    Good food and good service. As the evening progressed, the noise level was really intense so not a great date night place when you want to talk. The food was tastefully prepared and served and overall was a pleasant experience. I would return but perhaps not for a date night when you are getting to know the other person.
