    Quaint, cozy, locally sourced ingredients- such a gem! We stopped in on a rainy afternoon to have wine a few apps. We loved the customized cheese plate and the bowl of mixed olives. One thing I will say is this is the best priced spot for the food!! The mixed olives was a truly decent bowl for $7 and honestly the olives were fantastic! The cheese plate had a few select options. The bartender asked us what we didn't like and what our preferences were. It was so nice to have such a citrates section with pickles, mustards, pickled mushrooms and goat cheese. If you are in or near the area, I can't recommend this place more!

    Just the Cap my last review, it wasn't a fluke. This place is a hidden gem. Stopped in a late afternoon and throughly enjoyed a couple glasses of Cab and a board for one. The board again with fresh cheese, pepperoni, grapes and Wow. . Sugared Ginger! Seriously. The bright sunny atmosphere in the afternoon and outside seating adds to the unique charm. I'm hooked on this place.

    I just come back from restaurant that my friends recommended. We have with my wife great drinks and charcuterie board. Great paring cheese and meats. Australian goat cheese with lavender it's something that we will no forget. I had great scotch whiskey and my wife dirty martini. Great atmosphere and friendly service. We recommend to try . We will go there soon to enjoy all: food,drink and atmosphereChef's Choice Charcuterie

    Ok why is everyone giving this place 5 stars? I mean was I just unlucky this time around? I was in the area and I've been meaning to check this place out. I was hoping it to be an excellent experience, but boy was it not. From the moment I walked into this place to the moment I left, it was not a pleasant experience. I had one lady who was young pour me a water. They don't have actual menus. You have to scan the menu on your phone. They definitely had a nice selection of wines. I did end up trying a sparkling orange wine that was not good at all and did not have any bubbles so not sure how they can call it sparkling. I attempted to try another wine this time Red from Italy thinking that it was gonna be good and it was ok not great. I saw they had a Prosecco Rose on the menu and I just ordered that one because I know that one is good. I had nobody ask me how the wine was? Did you want any food? Nothing, it was pure silence and I was the only one in the bar with two bartenders and nobody approached me with any normal customer service or questions that you would normally ask when you're sitting at a bar or restaurant. I don't know how these places are surviving? Why do they act this way to customers? Don't they know that WE are the ones keeping their lights on. So why don't they treat us better? I will never ever come back here again. And, if you choose to that's perfectly fine as long as you have a better experience than me. Cheers!

    Great drinks along with some of the reading material on hand

    Wife and I heard about this place opening before the pandemic so we didn't get a chance to try it out until tonight. Definitely worth the wait. The staff were very friendly and courteous even though they were keeping busy making drink after delicious drink for the incoming happy hour guests (happy hour in name only since I've learned it's illegal in Massachusetts ...what?!?!?). My wife and I each tried a cocktail and they were unique and perfect. Then we tried a glass of a Cabernet recommended by Collin and it was amazing. Coupled with some tasty cheese, bread and olives we couldn't be happier with our evening out. Looking forward to more great visits.

    Best and drink food around, and best bar in the Boston area. First class!!! The owners also couldn't be any friendlier.

    This is the best food, wine, and overall bar in Newton--hands down!!! The food is incredible, and the service is top notch. I'll be frequenting here a lot, and I'm so glad that a place like this finally opened nearby. The owner also couldn't be any friendlier. This place is amazing!!!!

    Sweet sopressata and manchago cheese plate.

    We finally got around to visiting Flora and now I'm wishing we would have gone sooner. Our server, Colin, started us out with a complimentary tasting of his favorite Cabernet, which was excellent. We opted for cocktails, and tried the Veronica Vaughn and the Medical Permit. We enjoyed both, but I think the Veronica Vaughn was the more interesting of the two. We originally intended to get the Roasted Veggie Antipasto and the Sweet Sopressata, but Colin suggested that they could put together a board with cheese as well. The board included a delightful manchago, assorted dried fruits, toasted nuts, marinated mushrooms, crostini and a fig jam that paired well with the cheese. A pair of chocolate-dipped madeleines arrived with our check, and they were soft and delicious. We can't wait to go back!

    Which items are FULLY gluten free on the menu for people with celiac disease? (This means that they are cooked in their own pots/oils /water and the counters are sanitized before mixing gluten & non-gluten, and there is no cross contamination)?

    Dear Jb - thanks for the inquiry! I have allergies in my family including celiac, gluten, dairy, eggs and tree nuts so we are very sensitive to these issues. We can certainly arrange for something very celiac friendly that would consist of… Read more

    I came here with my family - 14 of us total. And it was a last minute reservation - I'm not quite…read moresure how my sister snagged it. Unfortunately - we were seated at 2 tables, one for 4 and one for 10... Never mind I still had fun. WE got the delish truffle fries as an appetizer and I got the scallop entree. I love a scallop and not only were these perfectly cooked, it was the perfect size entree so I wasn't grotesquely full afterwards. Our server got it all right, despite the pressure of so many folks all getting their meal at the same time.

    Came in for late lunch on a Sunday. We just missed the brunch (11-3) so it was nice and quiet…read more I know this a seafood restaurant but OMg they have THE best mashed potatoes! Perfectly whipped with the right amount of butter. Get them!! Everything on the menu looked so good it was hard to choose: - crab cakes had a really nice crust on the outside but I wasn't a fan of the shredded crab/stuffing inside. Lump crab would be so much better - we split the mussels which had a flavorful sauce and came with 2 pieces of dense grilled bread - calamari was okay - Love that they do half/full orders for the house made pastas. Shrimp limoncello was the standout out Love the decor and murals on the wall with the cool lighting and outdoor seating - high tops in the bar/low in the restaurant area - booths around the walls Lots of shared parking in Linden Square but it's usually pretty full.
