Lovely first experience at Alora to celebrate my birthday! Lauren was attentive and very polite! Loved everything we tried on the menu, especially the seafood pasta!

ember was absolutely incredible - the perfect date spot for our anniversary. the service, decor, and food were all amazing (prices are reasonable as well). definitely try the crispy tuna and wood fired halloumi. will be back again for sure.

Amazing service! The waitress was very attentive and the food was amazing. Everything was ready quickly and the prices for happy hour are perfect! Highly recommend

We had such a wonderful time! The ambiance was beautiful, the staff amazing and very knowledgeable and extremely helpful with the cocktails. We are absolutely going back and would highly recommend this little gem in downtown Ottawa!

Our food was delicious. I particularly liked my dinner's rice and charred shishito peppers. My mocktail was mostly ice with very little ginger beer. My host liked his wine. Our waiter recommended we order 2 appetizers and 2 mains, which would have been too much for us to eat as the main courses are substantial. We're glad we didn't take his recommendation. Service was fine up to and including our after-dinner coffees, then our waiter disappeared, It was almost 11pm (we'd arrived for dinner at shortly before our 9pm reservation time) so by then we may have been the last patrons in the restaurant. Did our waiter forget we were there? We flagged down a waitress who was cleaning up the other tables and she brought us our bill. We'll return to the restaurant as the ambiance and food were excellent and they serve dinner late, but we hope our service is better the next time. Or we'll ask for the bill when we get our coffees.
