   They were able to seat us fairly promptly for lunch as we had a reservation. There was good spacing between the outdoors tables, it was covered and a nice temperature. I was not a fan of them allowing dogs on the patio, people do not need to bring their pets to lunch, the table next to us had a beagle that kept running under our table from his long leash and inattentive owners. Server brought us water and my glass had a gross dried food smear all around the top of it, I don’t know how they missed that. Server apologized and brought me a new glass and this one had little red flecks floating in the water. The table was sticky, and it took us 40 minutes to get our food (and it was not at capacity). The highlight was that the food was delicious, we ate every bite of it - BLT, chicken sandwich and pancakes for the kids. Pricing was reasonable, overall it was “ok” but cleanliness and service could be improved.

   Food is poorly prepared, presentation awful and unappetizing. If you go, order a salad. It’s hard to ruin. Order veal saltimbocca which was drowned in a thick dark gravy smothering veal. Spaghetti marinara was plated on same plate. Cheese was barely melted. Ordered pizza first and cheese lump like rather than melted to creamy texture. This restaurant is Bad.

   This was a GNO for four professional women. The restaurant is clean with nice decor. The service was ok…nothing special. The food was just mediocre. We ordered linguine with clams, spare ribs and ravioli. We enjoy trying new local restaurants with the hope of finding our “Go To” favorite spot. Flora will not be that place for us.

   Very slow service. Sat for 20 minutes before we had any service. Food was pricey for the quality. Just okay food. Everything took a long time. We considered leaving.

   I had reservations for my birthday. We were arrived early and had drinks at the bar before being seated. The bartender was great and attentive. We were seated promptly at our reservation time and the server was excellent! In addition to great service the food was INCREDIBLE! From drinks to apps to dessert everything was amazing!

   Besides a brunch (months ago), this was our first meal at Flora. From start to finish, this was a very nice experience. The host and service members were so accommodating, professional and courteous. Wine suggestions were spot on and at a reasonable price point. Our appetizer plates were traditional and hit the spot perfectly befor the main course. We had the Swordfish with lemon and caper sauce special and pasta Norma to make a relative comparison to other Mediterranean/Italian places we enjoy. Both main courses exceeded expectations, especially the swordfish. I’m a fisherman and love having a fish done slightly under keeping it moist and flavorful. The chef did an outstanding job at that and at keeping the sauce subtle and the sides exceptional. The pasta Norma is traditional standard (in my book) and they did a great job at balancing the sauce to the rest of the ingredients. Every taste brings something a little different to the palate. Even the musician that night was awesome! Traditional Mediterranean style music mixed with Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and other crooners. Volume was perfect from where we sat. Bravo!

   Went for the music, it was lots of fun. The food was very tasty last night. We could have even eaten outside. Flora has become a regular on our out to eat neighborhood eateries.

    Attentive waiter, delicious food. I was able to switch out the sauce on my pasta so it didn't have mushrooms, as I am allergic! The portions are not really big, but the food is fresh and made to order. I had the short rib ravioli and my husband had the Scottish salmon, and both dishes were excellent. Try the Jalapeño Margarita, yum! And save room for the Tiramisu, it's fantastic!

    Literally no waiting with our reservation. Sat under the tented area, very pretty with the lights. Max and teams' service was very prompt, attentive. Pasta, clams, shrimp were all very fresh; chianti and beer excellent, and birthday mousse was amazing!

    The service and the food were both great. Our server Marcos was very attentive and took good care of us. Another server Elias is great too. At 10 pm they brought in a performer and a DJ and really got the place rocking. Great late night hang out place for a Friday night. Food is great and reasonably priced. You won’t be disappointed.

    Wow! We could not have had a better experience! We went for my son’s 18th birthday and it started off with a wonderful welcome for the person seating us who made sure the table was perfect for what we needed. The waiter (Alessandro) was warm, inviting, friendly and a great sense of humor. The bartender and busser who stopped to talk to us were top notch as well. The food and cocktails were absolutely delicious and we will definitely be back soon. Seriously, we left there feeling so great and it definitely was due to the staff and ambience. Thank you, Flora!

    We sat out in the patio, very comfortable. We enjoyed watching the people enjoying walking with dogs. Very nice neighborhood. We ordered salad to share and an appetizer to share and one meal to share. All delicious and more than we could eat, we have food for tonight + the service was perfect. Also, they allow dogs on their patio. We will be back!!!

    Food, service, ambiance - all excellent. We were seated outdoors next to a VERY loud group, so that detracted from the experience a bit. But our 2 dinners (Cioppino and a Veal Saltimbocca) were both superb. Warm and fresh bread, attentive wait staff - what more could you want?

    i normally give this restaurant 5 stars but demoted them this time because so many menu items were not available. This included popular items like all the pizzas and risotto. This is the second time this has happened. We were told of the unavailable items long after we had ordered and had our salads. Also, there is a new special on sunday night that is free food for kids. If you have small kids who routinely run around a restaurant and scream a lot and play videos really loudly, you'll feel right at home with this special. If you're coming for a relaxing dinner, forget about it, don't come on Sunday.

    Very Good Restaurant Week Pick! Service was very attentive, helpful from start to finish. The food was tasty and plentiful. The only drawback was the extremely loud music, that we asked them twice to turn down, so if was difficult to have an intimate conversation. Hence everyone’s voices were elevated adding to the din.

    We chose this resteraunt during resteraunt week because the menu seemed exciting. We tried 5 of the 7 items listed for resteraunt week and each of the 5 were very underwhelming with the exception of the short rib ravioli. However, one dish of out 5 is never enough of a reason to visit again.
