About this business
Editorial fromIt's been years since Bob and Mary Jo Sargent transformed an old bank into flora, but their labor of love remains a standout in Arlington's dining scene. An open kitchen injects a little bit of downtown chic into the casually elegant…

My family and I have been dining at flora for years and consider it our home away from home. We are always treated with open arms and friendly smiles. There is something for everyone on the menu. The food is consistently fresh and delicious. We can easily choose from salads and soups to smaller entrees or share a entree and dessert. We leave satisfied and content and are happy that we did not have to do the shopping or cooking or cleaning up. We are so happy to have flora in our lives.
Nice atmosphere, inconsistent food quality, good service – I've been to Flora twice. The first experience was fantastic. The food was creative, well-prepared with good quality ingredients, the server was very knowledgeable and helpful. I had the chestnut risotto with butternut squash, which was very nicely made. The second time was on Valentine's day weekend and the whole experience was reversed. First of all, the place was overbooked. We had a reservation but we still had to wait for more than half-an-hour for a table. This... read more
Business response:
Went to flora on the same night (Valentine's Day) and had a WONDERFUL experience. The place was crowded (as any decent restaurant would be on that day) but not out of control. From the host at the door to the server to the second host that said good-bye on the way out, everybody was genuinely polite. We never felt rushed and things rolled right along. The food was divine. If you haven't been to this gem then give it a whirl, and don't listen to some metrowest food critic wannabe. ;)
Great atmosphere, fabulous food – Dinner at Flora is always a treat. Located in an old bank building, the ceilings are high, the decor is upscale, great cocktail bar, and cheerful atmosphere. The food is just wonderful. Great menu, but most often I get the chicken (crazy, huh?) which is cooked to perfection with a crispy, well seasoned skin and unbelievably juicy meat. Also their summer gazpacho is always a treat and dessert is unfailingly yummy. The food at Flora is never fussy, always fresh and perfectly prepared. I can't ... read more
Flora--Elegance in Arlington Center – This is a lovely place for a special dinner but it is also features a relaxed and friendly lounge with music on several weeknights. There is also a gallery of local artists work on display. I have had some wonderful dinners here, the smoked salmon salad is light and lovely to start your meal, they had an outstanding duck special the last time i was there, a striped bass with fresh vegetables is a menu standard that is simple and perfectly prepared, and for dessert they sometimes have a k... read more
Wonderful ambiance, elegant dining – My husband and I love Flora. It's our favorite restaurant in town. The food is divine and the service is outstanding. We have never been disappointed.
I like this place – I have had a couple of meals here and have enjoyed them both. I have to say that it is definitely a choice for a special occasion or if someone else is paying . . . though pricey, Flora delivers on the quality & freshness of the ingredients. They put together a nice plate with creative well thought out flavors that are heightened by the freshness (as I have mentioned already) of the ingredients. Loved the lamb slider appetizer. The staff is professional, as one would hope it would be for a more pricey spo... read more
Delicious meal in beautiful surrounding – This is a lovely restaurant for a special night out, or a romantic dinner. If you don't want to have a 3 course meal, you can order appetizers and desserts, or entree and drinks. The staff are knowledgable and warm - it feels like a neighborhood bar with MUCH better food. We go often.
great food, ambiance, lovely veg entires – Have had many lovely dinners there, Bob and Mary Joe always make us feel at home whenever, even if they are busy...
Under New Management? – UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT??? That would be the only explanation for the service we received last night. I was really looking forward to this dinner. We were having a night out celebrating a friends 35' th birthday. I had always wanted to try Flora . I had heard many positvie reviews from friends I respect. Well it just wasnt happening last night. We started the night ordering appetizers and drinks and told the waitress that we would order dinner whe the appetizers arrived. That was a mistake. Our appetizer... read more
