    Nice setting on water - good (not great) over priced food. The outdoor patio is nice near the water, but the heat lamps made it overly hot - the inside seating would have been much more comfortable. The food was interesting but really expensive - a starter plate with a few crudites, a small side of bread and 3 small dips was delicious was $40; I would have thought $25 was a fairer price. The waiter let me taste a wine, which was super nice, and the wine pours were generous. I ordered a 2nd glass midway through our meal and it never came, luckily we just struck it from the bill. Seems catered to tourists and the tour boats that dock nearby.

    I've been to Alora a number of times and it is consistently good; the food is excellent, the ambience welcoming, and it isn't too noisy to have a good conversation. There were four of us most recently and we had a great time.

    2nd time here and it was again amazing! We had the burrata and crudo to start. The rabbit cannelloni and beef shashlik, potatoes, Brussels sprouts and cucumber salad for our entrees. The chocolate cake (superb) for dessert. Everything was delicious, presentation beautiful and service was on point. I keep raving about this place to all of my friends and acquaintances!

    Great ambiance; however, very expensive for what you get (very small portions) - certainly priced for corporate meals.
