Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Alora is a culinary gem with "amazing food and cocktails" and a breathtaking waterfront location. Guests rave about the "exceptional service" and beautifully presented dishes like the muhammara and octopus kabab. The inviting patio and vibrant atmosphere make it a go-to spot for both intimate dinners and celebrations.

    One of the best meals I have ever had in my life. I was truly at a loss for words with each course. Kudos to the chefs and staff.

    Great spot. Incredible wait staff and bartender. Drinks great. Beers salad the best of all time. Cocktails great. Good hummus and great breads. Got rabbit cannoli but wasn't my jam so sent it back. No problem, can't recommend this place enough. Next time I'll try the eggplant over the rabbit! A+++

    First time at Alora and we had a wonderful experience! The restaurant is beautiful, the service was great and the food and cocktails were delicious! There was five of us in my group and we were all very much impressed. We would definitely return.

    Food was good, but extremely expensive for what we paid for... we ordered the skewer samples for $175 for 5 types of skewers that were, like I said, good to very good. Unfortunately, there were also unexpectedly ear-ringing noises coming from the ships in the dock, and a cracking electric sizzling sound. On the other hand, the vegetables were excellent - side dishes of mixed vegetables and brussel sprouts.

    We had hummus and pita. They both were clearly homemade and outstanding. It was perhaps the best pita I ever ate. We had trout, and it was cooked to perfection. Absolutely delicious. The service team was super friendly and attentive. I would happily return to this lovely restaurant with great food and very friendly welcoming service.

    Good food. Awkward experience being told we only have 90 minutes at our table and then having incredibly slow service. Spoke to the manager after and the reservation after ours canceled, but they never told us.

    The only negative and it was small is that you had to order everything at once drinks aside. But they did separate in a timely fashion so you did not feel rushed

    My second visit. Unfortunately we were seated too closely to a very large party placed in the middle of the room. We were so close that the server literally could not squeeze between our tables at one point to service yet a third table. The large party was, predictably, noisy, not helped by the fact that one diner at the table angled his chair toward his immediately adjacent seat mate. When he did this, his mouth was positioned next to my ear such that I could no longer hear the conversation at my own table. We left before dessert because it had become so uncomfortable. My meal was delicious, however.
