   The staff was friendly, but very slow. We were rushed out after waiting for food for 30 minutes after ordering. Food was average, noise level was super loud. Skip this one if you can!

   I am sorry, but I read the reviews and was terribly misled. The food was banquet food. The salmon was frozen, not fresh. Terrible. Aalora you need to up your game.. don’t be misled that it’s on 5th Ave., New York City, or that it has tablecloths or the presentation, pictures, menu online. Very expensive.

   I was happy to find a restaurant that could accommodate our party of 9 on short notice. A large part of why I chose this restaurant was based on the reviews of the great food and service, it was also attractive because of Open Table's cost rating of $$. Yes there are items that are a few items that are reasonable in price, but I feel we were sucker punched upon opening the menu and seeing many entrees that were $35-$50, so they really should not be $$, but $$$ or $$$$. I was shocked that the server provided only one small plate with sliced meat and cheese and another small plate of fried eggplant discs and one slice of bread for a table of 9 people (I had to ask for more bread all the way around and even then only a single slice was provided). I should have said something but I did not because the Maitre d's gruff exterior was off putting and in my opinion he should not be interacting with customers. He was actually the one that rattled off the specials of the day to us and I would have preferred that detail came directly from our server. The waitstaff seemed to be in fear of the Maitre d', so that is never a good sign. I think the restaurant does well because they are attached to the Le Meridien Hotel. Lose the Maitre d' and be more generous with the bread and free apps when you have a large party.

   We had a very poor experience. We had a 3:30 reservation and they appeared to be rearranging for the night. They were literally moving tables around for a full hour, about 10 of them, all the while the owner or manager is yelling at them and micromanaging them the whole time. Found the owner/manager to be extremely rude and inconsiderate. We and another table were vertically ignored as they did this. Also when food came it wasn’t even great and the portions were so small and the cost high. Although it had two $$ signs this was not accurate. The antipasto was terrible….two tiny pieces of meat and very little cheese…but lots of onion. I would not ho back. A chain restaurant would have been better.

   Dined here for lunch and was immediately blown away by the beauty of this restaurant upon arrival. It’s really a gorgeous upscale venue. Food and service were both amazing. Didn’t get to try any cocktails since I had to return to work but I will make it a point to return for dinner so that I can get the full experience.

   First time here. Service was excellent. Food was done perfectly (we both had fish dishes). Wine list could be a little more reasonably priced, but an excellent evening nonetheless. Nicely done!

   The restaurant is quiet and the staff are attentive. We ordered the specials Dover fish and sea bass which were delicious and the kale salad - all beautifully prepared.

   Service was very, very disorganized, took an hour just for an appetizer to come out. Took another 30 minutes at least for our mains to come out. They brought the same mains to us twice, and also forgot one of them entirely.

    Friendly staff . Very Clean. Had reservations but did not get seated for 30 minutes. We had a small party of 3. Waited another 30 minutes for our food. Small portions but good- pasta dish. Disappointed with wait times even with reservations.
