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.

    Great service and vibe with absolutely overpriced C- food. Mushroom soup was inedible, like a bomb of salt… I ordered a $46 paella which had undercooked rice and overcooked seafood, lobster was like a rubber band. Sad- cause it was chock full of seafood. Would not go back

    Drinks were excellent, would not rush back to eat there. I ordered the mushroom garlic rigatoni dish , unfortunately did not like it , it was very watery without much flavor. I usually don’t speak up but I had told the waitress but she didn’t see to care too much about it which was disappointing. With it being a more upscale restaurant I expected more. A plus was the place was beautifully decorated for Christmas

    Such a great find as a way to celebrate a wonderful Christmas visit with my mom and in-laws! Our reservation was at 4:30pm which, in December, gave us an amazing view of the sunset over the water. Everything was tasty- great cocktails, the best oysters I've ever had, and entrees we all appreciated. One of the stars was my mom's dessert- sticky toffee pudding. Posh, wonderful, and a great way to impress our Texas-based family members.
