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.

    The food was outstanding! Our Server Hannah may have been the best server we ever had the pleasure of guiding our dining experience!! She had impeccable timing, a great knowledge of the menu and pairing of flavors. We would come back just based on her expertise. Already made our next reservation!!

    The Studio and Flora are always an extraordinary experience. Two of my guests tried the special "Burger Bender" burger and were planning to vote it as best burger. I still love the Tuna Tartare and Chicken Palliard. Stacy did a great job as did the rest of the staff looking after us! -Stacie
