Everything was tasty, although nothing mind-blowing. Service was attentive and timely. The ambiance is of course what everyone comes for - with the chandeliers and bayou backdrop, you couldn't get a more scenic restaurant.

First time at this restaurant and was left in love. We came by 3 weeks ago with large group from work. I absolutely love the outdoor as you arrive, but absolutely in love with the décor. The colorful chairs make you feel the warmth and love of Mexico. The many beautiful chandelier hanging from the high ceilings makes you feel as if the sun was right above you. This immediately makes you feel so positive. The staff is always kind and smiling as you walk in or go to the bathroom. I was absolutely taken aback when I walked into the bathroom inside and the speakers had very loud reggaeton music which I absolutely love was not expecting it to feel like I was at a party. I think the change was noticeable because the speakers in the dining area were still at very low volume. They increased the volume at around 7 pm and reduced the brightness on the chandelier. It made very romantic. The perfect place to be proposed for sure. Our server was Adrian and loved how he knew everything about the menu. He recommended me the Michelada and I tried it with a Pacifico beer. I was absolutely happy with it. A few in my group had a few different margaritas and loved it too. The food was phenomenal! We ordered a few appetizers to share. We had Guacamole and chips, Ceviche, Queso Dip with chips. We ordered so many things but here some of the things we ordered and ate it all, Carnitas Tacos, Shrimp Tacos, Enchiladas; lamb chops, and had a delicious dessert. I have to be honest the dessert was a big surprised for me. I didn't ordered it but when I tried that delicious chocolate moose/pudding and combination of the smooth vanilla and orange zest ice cream; I felt like fireworks went of in my mouth. In fact, I had to take more and slowly savor it to grasp the perfect flavors of real cocoa. I wished I wasn't as full of food as I was so I could eat so much more. Everyone left very happy and I am definitely coming back for my next business trip.

For my birthday celebration, we chose Flora, and from the moment we walked in, I was utterly stunned. The moment we stepped through the door, the sheer beauty of the place left me speechless. Flora isn't just a restaurant; it's a visual masterpiece. We decided to start our evening in the bar area during happy hour, and I was immediately impressed by the drink menu. The Mezcal and Flora Margarita were must-tries, and they did not disappoint. The Flora Margarita, in particular, was amazing. The tequila was exceptionally smooth, its flavor was delicate and refined, never overpowering. Instead of going for entrees, we decided to savor the appetizers, and I'm so glad we visited during happy hour; the portions were on the smaller side and the regular prices were a bit steep. We order chips and guac, nothing special. The crispy chicken tacos were delightful and perfectly seasoned. But the real star of the show was the Caesar salad. For the girls that know, know.. baby that salad was exceptional. I've never had jalepeños in my Caesar salad. it was just overall the best item I had there. From the chic décor to the impeccable drinks, it was clear that every element of Flora is designed to impress. The experience was nothing short of extraordinary--perfect for a special occasion or simply a night out when you want to indulge in something truly memorable.

Upscale atmosphere-- Views of trees while inside city limits! We split the octopus appetizer and pork entree in two; which was enough for us. We were even given a free birthday cake.

Can you say Foodgasm? Some of the best food you will taste! Have to take a moment to brag about the octopus starter! It was so delicious and the flavors of the sweet potato and crema perfectly married each other. My boyfriend and I went for date night when it was raining hard so the lights went out and flickered a few times but that only added to the ambiance. Definitely recommend for date night!

Hey, went out for brunch with my girls today and let me tell you, it was absolutely adorable! The dining area had these lovely windows all around, adding such a charming touch to the whole experience. And the brunch menu? Oh, it was fantastic! The dishes were so delicious and filling, and the drinks? They were simply out of this world! Okay, okay, I have to admit, the place was a bit crowded, so the service ended up being a tad slow. But you know what? None of that mattered because we had the best time together. Seriously, it was such a blast!

Service was very attentive and the drinks were great! Food was also really good I really enjoyed my time here and the vibes were good. The huevos ahogados were like drowned egg and tortilla in black beans and it was super yummy - definitely have to be a black beans fan to enjoy this because it's basically just black beans. I got the spritz drink and that was fantastic.

Intro: I have been to Flora twice: once on a date and once for an event. Located off of Allen Parkway, Flora shares a parking lot with Buffalo Bayou Park so parking spots are at a premium. If you don't find an open spot, you're likely stuck doing valet as there isn't street parking close by. This upscale restaurant is in the same space as Kitchen at the Dunlavy used to be. Ambiance (5/5): This is one of the areas where Flora shines. The main dining room contains a lovely assortment of chandeliers. The same chandeliers that Kitchen at The Dunlavy was known for. Combine the elegance of the interior of the restaurant with the beautiful views of the Bayou that you can see through the large windows and that creates quite the ambiance. If you want to maximize the scenic views, stop by at sunset. Service (4/5): The service each time I've visited has been friendly, consistent, and efficient. The only real complaints I have here are connected to logistics. The entrance to the restaurant is on the side of the property instead of the front. If it's your first time and you haven't been told where the entrance is located, you'll likely be confused at first. Second, Flora doesn't have a bathroom inside the restaurant. You have to walk outside to reach the restrooms. Drinks (4/5): Flora has a nice list of drinks. I've had several cocktails and beer over my two visits. One of the beers I tried was a Mexican beer that I had never seen anywhere else. The name is escaping me but the bottle was impressive (the labeling was like a work of art and the beer was tasty). I've also had several cocktails and they haven't disappointed. Since Flora is a Mexican restaurant, you'll see a focus on tequila and mezcal. With that being said, they have a lot outside of that too. Food (4/5): As an upscale restaurant, the food and the drinks aren't cheap. Nor are the portion sizes large. But, the food is quite good for the most part. I've had several appetizers (octopus and chips with queso/guac/salsa), entrees (tacos al pastor and barbacoa), and dessert (tres leches). The charred octopus and the barbacoa have been my favorites. Overall: If you're looking for an upscale meal with a beautiful backdrop, Flora makes for a solid choice.
