We had a wonderful experience at Flor Fina! The food was absolutely delicious. The entire experience was elevated by Yarley, who provided exceptional service throughout our visit. She was attentive, welcoming and made us truly taken care of! Flor Fina is definitely worth a visit!

What a great date night venue. Elegant setting, smooth jazz music in the background, great food, and amazing service. We recommend the grilled salmon on a bed of risotto with the pineapple salsa. Enjoy!

This place is awesome! They have a great selection of gins (and other spirits and wines) thoroughly explained by a smart, insightful, and personable wait staff (Shout out to Sanuj for the guidance and recommendations!). The food is excellent as well - quite possible the best Swordfish Chop I’ve ever experienced!

This is a great place for locals to hang out. They not only have great food but the service is phenomenal. It can be a little pricey - we spent $140.00 for two people without alcohol. I think it is worth it.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience here. We came for a birthday celebration and it was perfect! From the food to the ambiance, to the service! Christy, our server was outstanding! I had THE best Chicken Piccata and the portion was great. The Birthday girl loved the Mare and Monte Pasta and said the Giardino Italiano Salad was absolutely delicious. The ONLY downside is I live so far away from here because I think I would be here at least once a week if I lived nearby. Thank you Lavarone’s for a wonderful night!

    Michael’s Grill is always a favorite to introduce out-of-town guests. Locally owned, welcoming, fresh, unique dishes and great selection of wines. Service is always appreciated because everyone treats us like friends.
