    Our experience at Flor Fina was one for the books. For starters the vibe was incredible and the decor was stunning to say the least. Our server, Mike, was an absolute gem. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, sweet and made my birthday extra special with little touches throughout our dinner. My friends were leaving from there already on the phone with their husbands trying to arrange plans to come back! This is definitely not one to sleep on.
