First off inside is pretty nice , spacious with lots of seating and green plants and lighting There is a decent bar area with bar stools and high tops We got seated right away in the bar area without a reservation so that was great The host was super friendly as was our young server- she explained it's a scratch kitchen and craft cocktails so everything is made in house Cocoktails to start were the Lavender Haze and their Boulevardier- both were good around $14 each Apps- yellowfin tuna stacker - this was really tasty , light and refreshing , palate of 4(see photo) We ended up sharing the Chimchurri Coulette Steak served with smashed potatoes and asparagus This was good but too much Chimchurri for me and the actual meat lacked flavor I did however love the potatoes and asparagus and the Chimchurri aioli!! The crème brûlée was a little too sweet for me but was a great deal at $9 Looking forward to trying their brunch and coming back again for more menu items or just to sit at the bar

She made reservations but it was nice out so we decided to sit on the patio which was fairly empty. The drinks were definitely interesting and fun! We all got different drinks the first round. My friends shared a few apps. Overall it was a nice time. The server gave us some bday shots (my bday was right before my friends) so that was really nice. The space inside is smaller so I definitely recommend making reservations! Plenty of street parking.

Wonderful, intimate spot in Minneapolis. On our last night before returning home, Flora Room seemed…read moreas if it would fit the bill for our cocktail fix. Relatively easy to find, though you do have to hunt a little bit, Flora Room sits behind a nondescript metal door leading down a short hallway to the entrance. Take a long moment to allow your eyes to adjust if you're coming before sunset; this space is DARK. It's also perfect. Once your "night vision" kicks in you're surrounded by a nice bar, numerous bistro-style tables and booths. Candles adorn the tables creating a nice, cozy place to settle in for drinks. Once seated in comfortable chairs at a table, we were quickly greeted and provided with menus. The cocktail selection is relatively "small" but really nicely varied. Prices seemed a tad steep but frankly, given the quality of the drinks I'd say quite worth it. I started out with the Evita, a nice flavorful gin-base cocktail topped with a nice egg white foam. Very tasty. My wife opted for the Tapaculo, with gin, mezcal, pineapple, banana and bitters over ice. Also quite good. There are also bites available from the associated restaurant I can't recall the name of mine but I can say it was delicious. Bread-like bites with a really tasty dipping sauce. To close out the visit I selected Palo, a smoked aged rum cocktail that was really nice and rich. My wife chose the Nahualito with rum, walnut, amontillado and white chocolate. All should be on your radar. Flora Room really fit the bill for a nice, intimate speakeasy-style spot to spend time. Dark and cozy. Savory cocktails and friendly service will stand out and make you want to return. I know we'll seek it out if we return to Minneapolis again. I hope so.

Our booth was comfortable and felt cozy. We had some snacks and drinks. The fries came out pipping hot (burned my fingers) and we ordered extra sauce for the second round because they were delicious. I also really liked the empanadas- they were filling with a nice amount of sauce. Two of our group also enjoyed they oysters (with optional add-on caviar). The bartender was able to customize my espresso martini to my taste (I like it creamy- I know, controversial). I will definitely be going back!

We were able to get last minute reservations on a Friday which was nice. It wasn't too busy at the time we went. Loved the vibes & the decor.

Surprisingly the Dubai Chocolate drink was my favorite. My mom ordered a few snacks & enjoyed them especially the Japanese snack mix. I'd definitely like to come back.

It starts off with the welcome cocktail at the door as you enter (NA available too). I liked that they did a twist on every dish. Some worked and others didn't. We really liked the fondue party, happy meal, canape trio, thermidor and the Taco Bell. The duck was extremely chewy. I never liked Chef Boyardee and I didn't like this rendition either. Travail needs to work on the dessert. The desserts here are always a let down. The cake was dry and the flavors listless. It was the main complaint of others around us too. Service is great and you won't go home hungry.

Fun themed food and cocktails, funny FRIENDS themed skits, trivia, and amazing service. The food was good-not great.

They don't have a drink menu but will make you whatever they can as they have an open bar. I generally loved how friendly the staff were and how cozy the restaurant is overall! We will definitely be back!

I definitely need to go back and try the famous jerk Mac and cheese.

Upon entering we were greeted by a woman who was clearly wearing multiple hats as she seemed rushed, a bit off putting and quite frankly distracted. It was Juneteenth the middle of the afternoon and there were maybe 6 people at the bar and one other table besides ours with 2 diners. The person seating us was also our server and the bartender. Menu is small but the items we ordered were all fabulous! Every single one! The collard green dip with cornbread pita chips was absolutely delicious - Think spinach artichoke dip but soul food! The salmon croquettes with lemon herb aioli and arugula salad that accompanied were fresh and light! The catfish sandwich with fries was hot, crispy and well seasoned with fresh lettuce and tomato on a perfectly tender brioche bun. I want to return so bad for the food but it was clear this host, server, bartender and partial cook was pulled in too many directions and that severely compromised our service and gave us stand off energy as first time patrons. I looked it up and she is actually one of the owners. She came across as irritated especially once we didn't order any alcoholic drinks first and then very short and curt following. What took the cake was her telling us she was leaving for the day and needed to close our tab while we were eating. Didn't ask did we want to order anything else and there was another server taking her place and an empty restaurant! My partner had to put his sandwich down wipe his hands pull out his wallet while she stood there impatiently. Then proceeded to linger around hugging her regular bar patrons. It was clear this is a "regulars" spot and if you're not one you're rolling the dice on the service you may or may not get. We were patient and didn't complain because it was Juneteenth and our intention to support black restaurants all weekend. I have many previous years in the industry as a cook, host and GM and I was stunned to know that she was one of the owners when I looked it up. Had planned to return for live music but unfortunately the off putting energy and unwelcoming vibe may have squashed that possibility. I hope they improve service because the food is delicious and deserves attention from a larger and more sophisticated audience.

As a NS4L and small business owner, I've tried to support this business, but tonight, my third…read moreattempt was the last straw. I made a reservation on Resy (I'll be letting American Express know that this establishment doesn't honor such things) for my birthday celebration at 7 pm. It was 7:30 before our order for beverages was taken. Then 8 pm before drinks arrived and appetizers could be ordered. At 8:45 pm, we finally could put in our dinner order. Only to be notified st 8:59 pm that our table (along with several others) were reserved for friends of the host for the second part of night and we needed to vacate the table for other people We had to box our just arrived dinner meals and stand with our drinks. Several nearby tables offered to let us sit with them as they thought it was awful that we were upended and we standing there with full drinks and our meals in cardboard containers. When we told our waitress that we wouldn't have ordered dinner or more drinks if we had known, she said that she found out one minute before she told us. She offered us two seats at a couch nearby to finish our drinks and try to eat our dinners. Only for the owner Fonzie to come over a couple minutes later and tell us that we couldn't sit there because other people were coming in for that spot too. Nothing in the reservation said that it was a limited slot and the fact that even the waitress was unaware that we were going to have to leave to table literally after our dinner was brought to us speaks to the lack of business management or understanding of this establishment. I've tried to give this spot a chance. But after a very disappointing attempt to celebrate my birthday this evening, I will not be returning. The lack of any attempt by Fonzie to rectify this situation was disappointing at best. Several hundred dollars down the drain and a ruined birthday celebration Is not how I envisioned my evening I normally do not make my posts public/sharable. But this time, I welcome you all to share this and warn people of the lackluster way that this business expects people to spend our time and money.

Damian was our cruise director at the tiki bar for the evening. He provided great cocktail suggestions and it was nice to chat him up while we sat at the bar. I ordered Hot In The Shade but wish they would bring back the Chi Chi. Drinks can be pricey but well worth it considering the exotic cups and atmosphere. There's a great photo op in the back close to the restrooms that's a must do when visiting as well. Lots of TVs playing surfing or coastline views. Highly recommend this place!
