Everything started out absolutely extraordinary. The waiters and Service was over the top. The staff was extraordinary, super friendly, and really unmatched. Amazing. Unfortunately my entrée which was the fresh fish of the day was very bland and slightly overcooked. The leeks that came with it were beautiful, but very tough and not really edible. The side dish which were fried potato balls were also very bland and not that tasty despite being fried twice and served with a garlic sauce. Otherwise the entire experience was great. Beautiful place and great music I would like to see them use ingenuity to make the dishes healthier instead of just pouring on lots of cream, cheese and/or butter. Some of the most delicious meals are simple, profound combinations of ingredients that add amazing flavor without over buttering, cheesing or sugaring. The best thing on the menu was the gnocchi appetizer.

We celebrated my husband's birthday and it was our first time to dine at Flora and we both enjoyed everything...food, ambiance, Alex our waiter and Alex the manager. They made my husband's birthday special! The only thing I would recommend they need to improve would be using less ice in their cocktails. The drinks were delicious, but not much in them with so much ice. We were very impressed with our waiter, Alex and highly recommend him. Alex the manager came to our table a few times and made sure we were satisfied with everything. I will be going back and taking my friends!

My husband and I dined at Annabelle Brasserie on Labor Day to celebrate our 29th wedding anniversary and were served by Jorge, since Davis (another exceptional waiter was busy with other tables). Jorge was very attentive, pleasant and friendly, who went above & beyond to ensure we had an enjoyable dinner. He offered to take photos & video for us so that our grown son (who lives out of town) can have a souvenir of our 29th anniversary celebration. Our dinner was delectable & the ambiance was both vibrant & warm. We both had beef tartare (unfortunately, they ran out of tuna tartare), Beef Bourguignon, North Atlantic Salmon, Blueberry Parfait, and Profiteroles, and cappuccino. Each of the dishes we had was cooked to perfection. We will come back & highly recommend it to others. Btw, Jorge offered us a shot of Licor 43 to taste, since neither one of us knew what that is. It was way too sweet & strong for our taste, so my husband poured it into his cappuccino & said it tasted good. Maybe they will now introduce Licor 43-cappuccino on their menu. Thank you, Jorge, for making our dinner a very memorable experience.

Came for HRW, was pleasantly surprised that they had Sunday HH. Cocktails/apps/food/wine were excellent. Enjoyed the Indian undertones to the dishes, made them very flavorful. The service was wonderful, despite the staff having to deal with a medical emergency in the midst of the dinner hour. Will definitely be coming back!

Delicious food! Ceviche was some of the best I’ve ever had. Highly recommend the lobster bisque and lobster linguine. My wife loved the lobster roll but needed some fries, instead of potato chips, to go with it. We will definitely be back. Pricey! $200+ with tip for 2.
