    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.

    This is one of the busiest restaurants in Ottawa but I was never willing to wait at the door for a table to be available since there are so many other restaurants around Lansdowne. However, I finally made a reservation to go and I see why the restaurant is so popular, even though prices are on the high side. Everyone at our table loved the food and the service was the best I’ve experienced in Ottawa for a while. Mia was so attentive. You have to try this place at least once.

    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.
