    Octopus very tender!
    Maria E.

    Octopus can be great but it can also be extremely chewy. Flora did a great job and their octopus was excellent! Very tender and flavorful! Loved it!

    Flora has been on my list for years (even way back when it was The Dunlavy) and I finally got the chance to go for Sunday brunch. The restaurant is beautiful, tucked into the edge of Buffalo Bayou park, with floor to ceiling glass windows and sparkling crystal chandeliers. This is truly a magical spot at any time of day. We were hoping for a slightly more casual meal and opted to sit at the bar which comes with full meal service. The bartender was very friendly and quickly got us started with a round of their classic margaritas and took our meal order. The margaritas were nice and light and fresh. For food, my friend and I both got tacos, one order of shrimp and one order of fish. While these were both fine, I was a little stocked to see the price - ($26) for two fish tacos which included a tortilla, a piece of mahi mahi fish, a small swipe of refried beans and a light sprinkle of cabbage slaw. No sides, no salsa. The shrimp tacos ($23) at least come with three tacos but this still feels overpriced as well. Finally, in good fashion we had to round out our meal with Carajillos which were excellent! These were hand shaken with rich espresso and a thick layer of foam and topped with a cinnamon stick lit on fire. 10/10! Finally, like other reviewers, it's worth mentioning the parking. I've run past this restaurant hundreds of times while in Buffalo Bayou Park and was well aware of the situation but can see how it can be overwhelming for the first time. Save yourself a headache and just prepare to pay $10 to valet your car. The lot is tiny and trying to park in the nearby neighborhood is asking for trouble to have to run across Allen Parkway. Overall, I am definitely glad that I got to try Flora. Service and drinks were excellent, but I'm not so convinced on the food. I might give them another shot for happy hour.

I went back the next day for the seasonal Branzino that was good as well. The dish was great. They will absolutely see me again. The ambiance was beautiful and the setting of the venue is brilliant. Trees all around. Doesn't feel like you're in the city. Kudos to you all.

    Flora is a must go to at least once in your life restaurant inside of Houston's ethos space of food and dining and everything. The place is amazing from the beautiful aesthetic to where it sits to the food the combinations I definitely recommend this place to everybody and if you haven't gone, please go the skirt state is some of the most tender meat I've ever had from a skirt state in my life just amazing. I can't say enough great things about this place a must try our host that waited for us was amazing. I don't remember his name but it's just outstanding from everything. You cannot beat this place. Go try it.

    What an incredible Galentine's Day brunch I had at Flora! Wow this restaurant is something special. I was invited as a plus one for a friend to attend a hosted brunch in the private room. While the event hosts did decorate themselves and it was beautiful, the room itself is so striking it could've still been beautiful just standing on its own. The wait staff took such good care of us with their recommendations, always making sure our drinks were full, and ensuring we had everything we needed before we could even think to ask for it. The waitress that took care of us the most was incredible. We all loved her and I am so sad I can't remember her name because she deserved the recognition! The hibiscus margarita was SO good and so beautiful! We had a preset three course menu, and I truly loved every single thing on it. The tortilla chips are by far the best I've ever had in my 30 years of living and that's saying a lot because I consider myself a Mexican restaurant connoisseur. The guacamole was so fresh and flavorful. The queso was great. While I don't personally eat ceviche, it did look good and was very vibrant. I'd never tried anything like Sopecitos before this lunch. Those were good too!! For my entree, I chose the marinated skirt steak. Again, they knocked it out of the park. It was good and tender. For dessert I had the flan and loved it. I cannot wait to bring my husband back for a date night so I can experience the inside of the restaurant and have him try all the items I've already fell in love with! Thank you for such a wonderful experience Flora!

    Cucumber Margarita
    Jessica U.

    Service: our server was great. Ambiance: romantic / intimate Drink: - Cucumber margarita: too heavy on the cucumber for me. Had to send it back. 2/10 - Lemon drop: 7/10 Food: - Chips and guacamole: 8/10 - Red snapper ceviche: 8/10 Prices: not worth the value which is why I give this place a 3.5

    Saroasha E.

    The food, service, and ambiance were all excellent. Our waitress was kind, attentive, and very polite. We ordered the famous octopus, which was delicious, along with a perfectly cooked steak and excellent shrimp tacos. The guacamole was outstanding, while the churros were good and the flan was just okay. Overall, it was a very enjoyable Mother's Day experience, despite the restaurant being quite packed.

    Huevos a la Cazuela $22

    If you're looking for a perfect brunch patio spot in Houston, look no further! (I recommend reservations though) *The Atmosphere: the outdoor patio sits on the edge of Buffalo Bayou and is surrounded by beautiful, tall trees. There's a roof on the patio to shelter you from the scorching sun or the drenching Houston rain. It couldn't be a more perfect spot. They also have heaters if the temperatures are a little on the chilly side. *The Food (brunch): we had the Huevos Benedictinos ($23) and the Huevos a la Cazuela ($22). Both were SPECTACULAR tasting! I'm not a big chorizo fan, but the combination of the chorizo with the chipotle hollandaise on the slightly crisp sopecitos on the Huevos Benedictinos dish was to DIE FOR! I'm in LOVE with this dish!!! Our server told us that everything is homemade and there is no lard used. Even the refried beans are made without lard - they use olive oil. So if you have any vegetarians in your group, the beans are safe! I almost forgot - the churros are probably the BEST I have ever had. They are served hot, and they literally melt in your mouth - almost like cotton candy. They were TASTY AF! *The Staff: FANTASTIC! We had a group of 7, and our server was spot on with everything. As usual, we have a LOT of questions when we visit a place like this, and our server had answers for everything! She was very knowledgeable about the menu and also seemed passionate about the restaurant and everything they do there.

    Mole Enchiladas
    Aaron A.

    Beautiful restaurant, wonderful service and excellent food! Arrived with a group of four around 1:30pm. Immediately greeted and welcomed by the server and the managers and started off with margaritas. The octopus chorizo appetizer was delicious and the fajitas were sizzling. They do not have refried pinto beans (only black) but the chips and tortillas were fresh. Definitely will return and highly recommend. The live guitar music was a plus as well!

    Charred Octopus
    Alex S.

    First thing- we had reservations for my dads birthday and we still had to either wait or sit outside (outside was still beautiful and they had heaters to keep you warm just giving a heads up that res here doesn't mean no wait). Our waiter was SO knowledgeable of the menu and nice. Must orders: charred octopus with chorizo and sweet potato- probaly the best octopus dish I've had the flavor is insanely good. I got the carnitas tacos and it was some of the best carnitas I've had- I ate all of it but definitely should have been shared with two people lol. Their chips and tortillas are homemade and taste so fresh. The chocolate lava cake was not my favorite- don't be deceived by the exterior- the inside fully liquid goo and there is no "cake" part of it whatsoever.

    Spritz
    Alexandra K.

    Really disappointed. I'd been here once before and I think the food has taken a major turn since then. I ordered the shrimp tacos, a margarita spritz, and the escabeche. The escabeche was so bad I barely touched it. I wasn't asked about why I didn't eat it either. The staff was inattentive and lacked a care for the food. We were not asked if we were satisfied with our orders. My shrimp tacos were tiny and lacked flavor. The tortillas also fell apart really easily and were clearly old. Major disappointment. Would not go back. Would not recommend.

    Came by to see about hosting a small party. Everyone I came into contact with was so welcoming and hospitable. We had already eaten dinner so only had drinks and Romeo did not disappoint. The ambiance was beautiful and the drinks were delicious! Romeo introduced me to Stephanie the Events Coordinator and she was kind enough to briefly go over some options and give me a little tour. I can't wait to come back to try the octopus.

    Lisa J.

    Getting here is a bit tricky if you don't pay attention... so PAY ATTENTION! The exit sign throws a lot of people off. Now onto the restaurant- 10/10! Food was so delicious. We went there for brunch- queso was perfect. Chilaquiles are my go to and I was not disappointed. Our waiter was attentive and nice. The ambiance is the cherry on top. Beautiful chandeliers hang above the large open space. Great for pictures inside and outside of Flora!

    We stopped by Social Beer Garden HTX for St. Patrick's Day and had a really good time. We went in…read morethe early afternoon, and the atmosphere was already lively without being overly crowded, which made it easy to relax and enjoy everything. The ambiance was great for the holiday they had themed drinks and specials going on, which added a fun touch and made it feel festive without being chaotic. Definitely a solid spot if you're looking for somewhere social but still comfortable. The drinks were good, and overall the vibe was on point. It felt like a place you could hang out for a while, whether you're there to celebrate something or just have a few drinks with friends. One thing to note is they don't serve food, I did hear they rotate food trucks at times, but none were there when we went which was a bit of a downside, but they did allow us to bring in outside food, which honestly made up for it and gave us more options. Parking wasn't too bad when we went, and since it wasn't super packed, everything felt smooth and easy. Overall, great vibes, good drinks, and a fun place. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for a casual hangout or social night out.

    Social Beer Garden just doesn't do it for me. I've been once or twice years ago and recently…read moredecided to give it another try, hoping for a different experience, but unfortunately I still left unimpressed. To start out, the concept feels like a blend of accents from other popular bars in the area - the hammock chairs from Axelrad, the Adirondack chairs from Truck Yard, and the string light back patio from 8th Wonder. This blend makes it hard to give the bar a true identity. While they do have a large selection of beers on tap, their cocktail menu leaves me feeling lost. I appreciate the attempt to create unique flavor combinations but the options are just...confusing. For example, mezcal with citrus and prickly pear, or a highball with black currant, tequila and apricot. I'm holding on for dear life with all of these ingredients! Going along for the adventure, I tried their pickle cocktail that was on the menu and it was honestly, terrible. While they do have a happy hour that goes until 8pm, the service this last visit just wasn't the best. The server who helped me told me it was his second day and was clearly struggling to keep up with the cocktail combinations, referencing his phone many times while preparing the drink. I ended up not liking this drink and brought it back to the bar with just one sip gone and rather than offering to make me another drink, they kept it on my bill. Ok, whatever. That being said, just before this happened, the couple in front of me went to pay for their bill, prepared drinks in hand, at 8:02pm and the bartender refused to honor the happy hour prices, just two minutes past the official end time. With these two instances, it seems like the priority is maximizing every dollar of profit rather than investing in the customer experience. Given the number of other original concepts in the area, I would pass.

First, the vibe. It is warm, stylish, and very Montrose in the best way. It feels elevated but still relaxed enough to just sit, talk, and enjoy your time without feeling rushed. We came during happy hour and it was such a great deal. I ordered the Sweet Like Peach Tree, which was light, refreshing, and perfectly balanced with the peach and ginger. My husband got the Frozen Paloma and it was just as good, super smooth with the right citrus bite. We also shared the churros and they were honestly a must order. Warm, crispy, and paired with Nutella and caramel. What really made the experience stand out though was our bartender, Manny. He was incredibly welcoming from the moment we sat down, had such a great personality, and made the whole experience feel personal. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, and that kind of service is hard to find. He also told us about their upcoming two year anniversary party on May 3rd with rotating live DJs, which sounds like it will be such a fun time. We will definitely be back.
