    A friend of my husband said this is her favorite restaurant. After our dinner there, we can see why! Everything was terrific, simply… Terrific. The restaurant itself is lovely; on the small side, and intimate. We started out with cocktails. My husband had bourbon on the rocks and I had a drink called Sex in Tokio— it was hard to decide, I wanted to try every cocktail listed on the menu. Nevertheless, it was so good that I had two. We ordered the chicken gyoza, spicy edamame, and calamari. All excellent, and as I write, this, my mouth is watering, remembering how good everything was. My husband had Cantonese beef and noodles for his main course, and I had another appetizer, tuna tartar with crispy rice. Oh my goodness. I was too full for dessert, but my husband got the crème brûlée, which he did not even share! He made me put my spoon in the empty dish so it looked like he did, LOL. All in all, we had a wonderful evening and we will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

    Had a great brunch with my partner and friends. We were warmly greeted by the host, Savannah, and taken well care of by our server Michael, assistant Natalie and manager on duty DaShaun. Sat in the solarium which is a creative and unique experience at a restaurant. The restaurant is surrounded by live plants, giving it a nature vibe. Lovely art pieces and installations visible in the restaurant as well. Overall great time and highly recommend others to check out Flor Fina!
