We had a pretty terrible experience at Alora on Valentine’s Day. We had an 8:30 reservation and we were not seated at our table until 9:30. The waitress did not come to take our drink and food order until 9:45 - and this was a prix fixe menu. The amuse buche came at 10pm when we were absolutely starving. The waitress seemed like a deer in headlights. The manager tried to make it right and comped drinks but also managed to misrun our check at the end of the night. The food was bland. They ran out of the beef by the time we got to order but they did not tell us that until after 10pm. Would not recommend for special occasions.

Great food, great playlist and great service. Lamb was not as flavorful as expected but everything else on the menu was amazing. Seating was tight with large parties but a gorgeous atmosphere and bar.
