We had family plans at Muse Paint Bar so we went early (5:30 pm) to the bar in Flora, which is a half block from Muse. We were surprised to find a regular happy hour w $5 drinks and $5 to $8 small plates offered. We ordered a bourbon, a martini, and for food — the crab cakes (made from artichokes), the chilled asparagus, and the salmon cakes. Only the salmon cakes were not vegan. The fresh tastes and flavor combinations in each plate knocked our socks off. They take care to accompany the attraction on the plate with garnishes that are creative and yummy. Our server (the bartender) was very nice. Our total not including tip was $42.40. This is our third visit to Flora in recent years and these guys do upper level food. Largely vegan but there are good options for non vegans. Highly recommended.
Restaurant was on the second floor, with an elevator; handicap accessible. Very laid back aesthetic. Seats available at the bar, lower height tables and high top tables. We got drinks and appetizers: the garlic hummus, the buffalo cauliflower, and the nut cheese plate. All were excellent. The drinks we had were good but very strong (the Violet Beauregarde and the Pear-ly a Mule - not pictured)! Overall a pleasant experience. The staff was very nice.
The place is bigger than it looks from the front. The waiters are very friendly and easy to talk with. Loved their salad and entree. The oyster mushroom starter with buffalo sauce was delicious.
Food was good, staff was super nice, decoration, music, drinks were good. My daughter and I didn’t like the desserts too much. Overall, great place
Excellent service and vegan food! We had the cheese board (incredible goat cheese substitute!), "Chicken" parm, and "shrimp" rigatoni.
I had the absolute fortune to stumble upon this restaurant with my mom (severe milk and soy allergy), father (omnivore (we'll refer to him as the 'control' in this dining experience)) and myself (vegan with peanut allergy). At first they were very cautious with the soy allergy, but in the end it was all good and everyone in my party was able to safely have a tasty meal. We started with the chocolate avocado pudding as well as the oreo cheesecake, both of which were soy free which is a rarity in the vegan cheesecake world!! They were both very luxurious, when I asked my mother to describe them as I write this she oddly sensually said 'sinful.' so there's that. But in all reality they were very very nice and satisfied a chocolate lover!!! I had the gnocchi with the impossible sausage and can say the best part was the sauce and the sausage. It was still a nice dish, ma la pasta era un po' strana per me, am I right nonna. But in all reality it was very well seasoned. My parents had the real chicken and steak respectively. My mom says that the chicken was delicious with the accompaniments, 9/10 from her. My father believes that the steak was at about an 8/10. Though when questioned further he seems to be having an existential crisis about what would make the steak a 10 and is now reconsidering his review, but told me to put 'it was a really good steak, ok.' His side of potatoes however, oh buddy, 10/10. Thick pub fries with spicy seasoning, sign me the heck up!!! Overall it was a very good experience with lovely staff and food.
Great vegan options, but welcoming to meat eaters like me. Dedicated to the craft. Delicious food and fun mock-tails. Recommend!
It was array place to sit down and eat
One word. Delicious. If you are vegan or not this place makes sure you love the food. I and my friends sat on bar stool and met Ben. He was just amazing. He went above and beyond to make sure that the drinks were to our likings.He asked each of us as to what flavors we would love in our drinks and delivered on each of them. We got to taste 9 new cocktails outside the menu and it was like a chemistry experiment. Hats off to Ben for his patience and understanding of flavors.Drinks 10/10One of my friend is allergic to brown liquor and Ben made sure to make him vodka, tequila based cocktails which match his flavor profile of liking towards sour and sweet tastes. One of the drink was tart blueberry margarita.My fiance likes spicy and sweet drinks and has loved dark and stormy, Ben made him a variation of the mule with blueberry liquor.For me I wanted to try floral flavors and Ben made me a gin based drink with blueberry liquor and vanilla flavor in a martini glass.We all love smoky flavor and Ben then made another drink for us with tequila , smoke bitters, lime juice. This was then followed by a variation of old fashioned made with rye whiskey, almond liquor and no sugar.Food as you'll see the photos as amazing. It's made out of impossible meat and the flavors of sauce for the foods prepared is awesome.We had 3 appetizers and two entree. All of them were undoubtedly delicious.Appetizer 1Garlic HummusIt's a good and filling dish which is tasty on the top of all health benefits.Tomato aranciniRed tomato salsa with goodness of almond 'parm'.Artichoke Crab cakeIt's the appetizer to get if you were to get only one from the menu. The kimchi and lemon caper aioli are done so well that my seafood loving friend couldn't believe it's vegan.SummaryYou won't regret dining here.Note, we went to this place during happy hour and it is little pricey. But for vegan food the prices are as expected.
I travel a lot for work and one of my favorite things is trying new places. Flora was AMAZING!!!! I had the Artichoke Crab Cakes, the Bruschetta, the Gnocchi and the Almond Flour Vanilla Cake. Everything was phenomenal! My server, Greg was absolutely wonderful!!!! Every part of the meal was perfect. I will definitely visit again!
