    My wife and I had a wonderful belated Valentine’s Day dinner at Allora. The Polpo and Mussel starters were magnificent. Her entree of Waygu steak was very tender and flavorful. My scallops were excellent. Our waitress remembered us from previous visits and was friendly and knowledgeable of all the options on the menu. When the bar did not have the whiskey I requested they suggested a replacement that was a perfect substitute. The service , atmosphere and food were impeccable. A memorable experience.

    This was our first fine dining experience as a couple and the Valentine’s day menu was perfect! We got to take anything we didn’t eat home, and their champagne was delicious! We had a perfect night, and all of the staff was amazing to us. We’ll definitely be back!

    Had a party of five for Valentine’s evening. Restaurant was busy but service was outstanding. Ordered the empanadas & trio dip to start. All were delicious and had that homemade taste- not over-seasoned/ salted like many other restaurants do. Entree portions were generous & easily split without feeling like you didn’t get enough to eat. The center cut filet came out a bit undercooked to preference but our server promptly took it back & brought the plate out with properly cooked steak with new sides also. We appreciated the attentiveness of the wait staff. Cocktails were great and the butter cake was a yummy dessert to share. Highly recommended this place & look forward to trying more of their menu items on a return visit!

    Still my favorite eats in Sac. Valentine’s meal was amazing. My wife and I will always return and bring friends and visitors because we trust Canon. My only request is please get some non alcohol beer. Literally the biggest trend in food and beverage right now, everyone has great ones… and $8 bitter sodas are just not where it’s at. Normalize more non alcohol options!
