About this restaurant

Great for scenic views
Good for special occasions
Charming

Under the culinary direction of Chef Somoza, Flora’s menu captures the spirit of Mediterranean seaside towns from Saint Tropez to Capri to Marbella, spotlighting the bountiful seafood and vibrant produce that are hallmarks of coastal cuisine. With a passion for fresh ingredients rooted in his childhood in the Spanish countryside, picking wild blackberries and foraging mushrooms and wild asparagus, Chef Somoza is drawn to local, farm-to-table cooking.

The Flora menu is made up of regional ingredients such as sweet corn, seasonal vegetables and fruits, local seafood and small farm sourced meats, and is anchored by a crudo bar and fish main courses including Dover Sole, Bank Scallops, pan seared halibut. A skilled pastry chef and boulanger, Somoza is also putting an emphasis on quality breads and an impressive offering of house-made pastries and ice cream, and the most delicious creme brulee.

This was our second time dining at Flora. The food and service were excellent. The fish and seafood dishes were particularly good. The vitello tonnato (thin sliced veal in anchovy cream) was great, as was the tuna tartare and the linguine with pecorino and caviar. The chef has a sure hand with fish and seafood, and the flavors were bold and inventive.

Had a lovely birthday evening except... hostess tried to seat us at a table in the main pathway by the ktichen. Asked for another table and were seated at the far, outside wall. Even at that, the restaurant filled up and was very noisy. Hard to hear. This was not my first time there. One of my guests was an architect who commented on the noise level and what the hotel should have done when designing the space. Service was very good as was food. I will go back but not in season when the restaurant is likely to be full and noisy.,

Food was outstanding! Service average. Tables are very close so very congested. Fairly noisy. A beautiful setting with great food, though.

Outstanding food in a lively but quaint setting. Beautiful views! Our server was very good but may have been a little newer perhaps. We would absolutely recommend this restaurant and would come back.

The view was very good and the service and food was also very good. The noise level with the bar being right in the room was a little high. Our servers were very personable.

Had a wonderful evening… only difficulty was hearing … first in the bar with three women shouting to the point where we couldn’t hear each other … and later in the restaurant with 2 large tables of women all talking at once … It was a bit chilly in the restaurant when we arrived but the staff corrected it shortly after we arrived
