    The food at Alora is very good. BUT we waited an hour for our entrees to arrive at the table. No exaggeration - a full hour! And the restaurant wasn't busy. The servers didn't come by while we were waiting to let us know what was happening, refill water glasses, or anything. Really, really bad form. I will be very hesitant to go there again.

    The atmosphere was cold and uninviting. The waitress forgot our appetizer and never checked on us after serving our meal. The meat was though and was too lemony in flavor. No reason to go back to this restaurant again.

    Alora is a fantastic addition to the Embarcadero food scene. Every dish is delicious and beautifully presented. The staff are lovely & service is great. I’m very now been several times since they opened and am never disappointed.
