Favorites include the arugula chick pea and black bean salad with jalenepeno pesto, any of their baked goods and sweets as well as their pizza. I LOVE that their pasta dishes feature Artie's handmade pasta (the best!) - but honestly was a little chewy recently with the pasta dish I got - could have gone for another minute. The standout for us was the desert - holy cow!! The Really Really Fudgey Brownie was UNREAL!! Sooo good. Service is friendly and helpful; you can tell the employees like their jobs, which helps the food taste even better. Their somewhat recent makeover and rebrand gives the restraunt a slightly more upscale feel which I'm not mad about. I love that you can dine outdoors as well, and bring your dog if you wish.

I sent it back for another one that came out raw as well, we had the second one put back in the oven and took it to go. I should have looked more closely at it before leaving, because when I was home I found the crust was still raw and inedible. It was the first and only time I have ever had to send food back at a restaurant. Our server relayed a message from the kitchen suggesting we request our pizza "well done" in future.

The inside decor has nice light colors with easy to read signs. Lots of seats and it was super clean. We ordered the Cobb Salad Wrap and Kale Caesar Bowl, both with chicken. The wrap was a bit too sweet; though you could tell it was made with good tasting ingredients. Unfortunately there wasn't much chicken. The Bowl had also fresh ingredients, but even with their salad dressing it was super dry, especially the quinoa. It also didn't have much chicken. Prices here are pretty high. It cost us $35 for two entree items and drinks. That's quite a bit for lunch.

Nestled on a side-street off busy James St N as you travel up the mountain, you'll find Flora on the ground floor of a older residential-looking building. The first thing you'll notice walking inside is actually how small this place is - the pizza ovens and prep area take up most of the space. But there's something incredibly charming about that because you have high hopes that if they dedicate that much space to food prep, it's gotta be good. Happy to report that their pizza lives up to the hype! Pizza is baked in a sheet-pan with a semi-thick crust that's soft yet crispy at the edges. Crust is on the thicker side relative to some Italian restaurants and pizza chains, but the composition of the dough makes it work because it has a bite but not too tough/thick where it gives your mouth a workout. I also loved their fresh tomato sauce. It balanced so well with the cheese and toppings, giving the pizza a nice freshness so that it didn't feel as heavy. My only critique was that I wanted more basil on my pizza (I love me some basil!)

A classic spot in Hamilton for a quick lunch or to warm you up on a chilly winter's day. I'm a sucker for their creamy tomato with tortellini soup (I know, so basic), but their cream of mushroom & peanut chicken soups are also sooo good! Soups rotate every so often, and they have some of the most unique, ethnic soups I've ever seen, so it's great for the adventurous foodie. Pair with a half/full sandwich or side salad if you're looking for something to fill you up! Service is friendly & quick, but seating is limited.

It had rained the day we went and while indoor dining was bustling, we chose to sit outside on the patio, which was empty on arrival. Tables and chairs were wet but the weather changed and the sun shone again, drying up the area. We ordered several appetizers to share; bang bang shrimp (yummy), soup dumplings (yummy), spinach and artichoke dip (mediocre - have had better), sweet potato and regular fries plus dips (both very good) and dragon boat lettuce wraps (the crispy noodle and chicken with hoisin sauce and cashews was delicious and my favourite but the lettuce leaves had spoiled spots and seemed not to be thoroughly washed). I took the liberty of cleaning the lettuce before eating it. We also received dirty plates but bringing this to our server's attention quickly remedied the problem. Besides these minute concerns, the food and service and company were great! The patio filled up quite fast shortly after we placed our order and received our food. Arriving before dinnertime surely worked in our favour!
