    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.

    This might be my new favorite restaurant in San Francisco. The food was delicious and beautiful. The staff was super friendly. The restaurant is super chic and sexy and also has a fun vibe. Can't wait to go back.

    We sat for 25 minutes and no one even asked if we wanted water! When I told the host, he said, “ I’m sorry” but did not offer to remedy the situation. Shocking! We left. We also found the restaurant noisy despite not being that full thus making it unpleasant to converse. I can’t comment on the food as we never got that far. I doubt I’d go back- too many places that know how to function in regards to customer service.
