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.

We ate at the bar. Nick, the bartender, was very accommodating! Such a pleasant person. He helped us decide what to order, was always there when we needed him, but never hovered over us. Such a wonderful person. His partner was very kind and accommodating also. We went for our anniversary and could not have asked for a more special evening. It was a night to remember.

Excellent staff/service, exceptional cuisine (my fav tuna tartare chicken paillard or sole). Crafted cocktails are a great way to start your meal evening. Amazing atmosphere inside holds its own with the stunning harbor views. Love to sit at bar when with a friend or two.
