    A beautiful new restaurant on the Embarcadero. We came with a group of 5, and everyone loved the delicious cocktails (and mocktail) along with our decadent meals! The trout was our favorite… yummy! And service was flawless. Thanks for talking such good care of us, even though we stayed a bit after closing. You all made us feel welcome all the way until the end. Thank you.

    This was our first time at Alora, and we will be back. The food was wonderful, especially the dips and Eggplant entree. Oh, the brussels were also fabulous. The entire menu looks divine. Great service, and beautiful place. Super cocktail list.

    The food was delicious in every plate we tasted from the kebab, our favorite to the pâté, the octopus skewer, the mouhamara and humus was also tasty.

    Really great food, nice establishment, fair price. They did run out of the beef. But it is what it is.

    We had a pretty terrible experience at Alora on Valentine’s Day. We had an 8:30 reservation and we were not seated at our table until 9:30. The waitress did not come to take our drink and food order until 9:45 - and this was a prix fixe menu. The amuse buche came at 10pm when we were absolutely starving. The waitress seemed like a deer in headlights. The manager tried to make it right and comped drinks but also managed to misrun our check at the end of the night. The food was bland. They ran out of the beef by the time we got to order but they did not tell us that until after 10pm. Would not recommend for special occasions.

    Great Experience overall, food was excellent as well as the ambience, I would recommend making the music a little louder to make the place become more lively!!!
