    We dined at Allora for my husband's 37th. We were minutes late but still they welcomed us very well. We were seated immediately. We were assigned at one of the high tables section just in front of the kitchen where the magic happens. It was adjacent to the wall and the table is made out of steel comparing to the main regular seating. Our server was very knowledgeable, prompt and courteous. We chose the 3 course meal, however we were charged with a 4 course menu. My bad, we were in a rush to go home that's why I haven't double checked the bill. I thought its the service charge, tax, and drinks that made the total. Food is great and flawless. Still highly recommended but be vigilant to check what they are being charged.
