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.

I would not say the noise level was energetic but rather loud. The acoustics of the dining room were not favorable for conversation.

The ambiance was wonderful - the setting, the colors and the views were delightful. We were not acknowledged when we arrived at the Studio bar and it took about 5 minutes before the bartender - not the server - came to take our order - and the Bar was not busy. Our server and the Sommelier were attentive and friendly. The 3-course menu was good value. The oysters were delicious, the steak tartare needed more flavor (perhaps a dash of Worcestershire sauce or jalapeno pepper?), the halibut was perfectly cooked, the cherry tomatoes and the olives that accompanied it should have been warm, not cold; the chicken paillard was well cooked but bland; the mushroom soup was good and needed a stronger mushroom flavor; the desserts were delicious. Will definitely return.

The restaurant is absolutely stunning and the staff are lovely. The food was very good and pretty much as I expected. The fish is excellent and my friends said their food was also very good.
