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 few excellent dinning options along the Embarcadero waterfront with enclosed heated outdoor seating. This is a great spot to bring out-of-town guests or for special occasions with small to medium sized groups. Service is friendly and attentive, menu and ambiance make it a delight. I’ve been a few times and count on it as a regular go-to.

    Food was high quality and the ambience was nice except for one very rude women seated near us. My husband enjoyed his Flaked Beef Strip Loin Kebab. However, my Mount Lassen Trout was a very small portion. You will have to add a side if you’re remotely hungry. I also like my trout served as a whole fish, butterflied or a filet which is considered the norm. Not a steak cut.

    Service was terrible . The so called heated outdoor patio wasn’t getting heated . We felt like we were freezing and moved indoors . Food was ok. Service was unacceptably bad . We had a horrible experience overall .

    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.
