- AAnnGoldFort Lauderdale •32 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWhat a delightful evening dinner we had on the outdoor terrace of Flora. The creative drink list and innovative menu was a treat. We had taquitas, special ribeye tacos, enchiladas verde, and a dessert that was a Mexican version of bread pudding was heavenly. The service we received was equal to the quality of our dinner. Our server, Zoe, was on top of everything, and I can describe her best as exuberant--a joy to be around. Two of the managers, Omar and Melissa dropped by our table to ask how we were enjoying our dinner. They added to the special evening. We can't wait to go back!More infoFlora$$$$• Mexican• Montrose•4.8
