About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for scenic views
  • 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.

    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

    Our waiter was not attentive. Not only did he bring out the wrong brunch item but after we asked for S&P, we watched as he patrolled the room for what seemed forever when he suddenly realized he’d forgotten about our request. Needless to say my meal was cold by the time he returned with the seasoning. The restaurant is absolutely fabulous but the service left us feeling disappointed.
