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.

    Flora is outstanding. The food was excellent as was the service. The ambiance is warm and cozy in the winter - enhanced with great water views. The cost is commensurate with the experience.

    Flora is one of the best restaurants in town. The ambience is absolutely beautiful, particularly with the Holiday decorations. The food is delicious and beautifully presented. The staff is friendly and very competent. We have been several times and have always enjoyed it. We will go back, again and again!

    My halibut was overcooked. My companion's pasta was bland. The other two guests liked the scallops...but served with nothing else. The fall salad was great. We didn't stay for dessert because of the noise level. You need to decide if you want a fine dining place or a bar. Maybe you can do both but not for me. I want a choice.
