I was there with my son, my friend and her daughter. Our kids have been friends since elementary school just as long as we have been friends. We were celebrating friendship, and the holidays and Prelude was just the place to do that. The food, drinks and ambiance was superb. My friend’s daughter is vegetarian and she was satisfied with a delicious beat salad! I was delighted with the filet mignon. I have to say this is an outstanding and restaurant. I have been here a few times and I always leave satisfied knowing I want to return. Superb!

We had a perfect experience at Allora for Christmas Eve dinner. It was our first time here (we recently moved to Sac from the Bay Area), and we definitely will return. Well thought out menu, creative and accessible presentations, and stellar ingredients. The front of the house team was friendly and very accommodating. I highly recommend Allora and we are so pleased that we found it.
