Delicious, outstanding service, and incredible romantic atmosphere. Absolutely perfect for a date night! The prices a bit on the higher side but definitely worth it for the quality and service received. There is parking long the side of Worth Avenue by the shops. Our server was the sweetest and took great care of us and all our needs. Gave us great suggestions and was on top of everything. Like I always say if the bottle of your glass doesn't touch then you know it's immaculate service ^.^ Highly recommend to any in the area to check this place out. read more

Cafe Flora was a nice change of pace from our usual spots in northern Palm Beach County. It's outdoor only so most likely only works as a seasonal spot, but in late February, it was perfect! We were able to get reservations on a Friday night on the day of, every other spot we checked on the island was fully booked, but we had a good time. Anywhere you go on the island, you expect an elevated service experience. Our server was good, but disappeared for quite some time. As for the food, I got the salmon, which I found enjoyable but it carried a relatively small portion with only asparagus as a side. Other sides were à la carte, we didn't opt to add more. My husband got the filet, which he added a small side of scalloped potatoes to (included with meal). My mother in-law also ordered the salmon, but it was a bit undercooked for her liking. We also ordered the shrimp cocktail, which had a lovely cocktail sauce, but the shrimp were a little squishy. The highlight of the night was definitely the dessert selection. The carrot cake was perfectly spiced and tasty, and the key lime pie was ideally dense and tangy. Overall, a decent experience, especially on short notice in Palm Beach. read more

I've spent the last several birthdays and several special occasions at the gorgeous Cafe. The flowers, the statues and just the general quiet class of this establishment along with the delicious food make it worthwhile to visit. read more

Absolutely incredible patio area. Had this app for years and maybe did 3-4 reviews, so this should emphasize how great I thought the atmosphere really was. The chicken manlinese was absolutely divine, or as the kids say today "gas". Highly recommend--10/10 read more

Food was excellent. Unfortunately we arrived at 3pm and spoke with Giovanni and told my husband and I we had one hour to dine. Very rude. David was a gem! excellent service. Kathy Heppner Barrera 4085042633 We live in W Palm Beach read more

We made reservations for the Valentine's Day special - delightful setting with cafe ambiance on the island. Balloons and decorations were perfect for the occasion. Servers took great care of us as it was busy, full, but well organized. Meal was limited for occasion but a nice variety of options. I had pompano fish and tiramisu. read more

Cafe Via Flora - Valentine's Day dinner - Steakhouses Near Me - Palm Beach, Florida

The food is not bad, but very expensive. Beverages are $5, even for club soda. Aperol spritz $16 - waaay too much. But, I guess, this is an expected premium for the area. Service was excellent and ambiance is very pleasant. So, overpricing aside, not at all bad. read more

Very nice outdoor setting and atmosphere. However, my wife and I were VERY TURNED OFF by the restaurant's written notation on the menu that it does not allow diners to share entrees or request half orders of pastas. I have never before seen such an off-putting and distasteful taken by any other restaurant anywhere. My wife and I (and many of our friends) are eating lighter these days and always share an entree and starter for dinner along with our bottle of wine and have never been refused such an order. However, in light of Cafe Flora's money-hungry and unaccommodating approach, WE WILL NEVER GO BACK. read more

We went to this place on our family vacation, and they were wonderful to accommodate our party of 7! It was beautiful, in a little court yard tucked away from Worthy Dr. it reminded my husband and I of the little restaurants we had gone to in Amalfi! Our waiter was very attentive and helpful, and the service was prompt. To start, we had their bread, and it was delicious! They had an olive oil dip with some spice and Parmesan. We hadn't had dip like that before, and it was delicious! To drink, we all tried some different wines. I got the Gavi DCG, an Italian wine I had not heard of before. It was delicious! Dry with a lot of citrus flavors. For dinner, we all tried something different and shared. I got the bolognese, my dad got them lemon chicken and squash ravioli, my husband got the pollo all's milanese and spicy rigatoni, my mom got the pesto pasta, and my sisters got zucchini pasta. All of our favorite was the lemon pasta and squash ravioli. We also all loved the bolognese as well. For dessert, we had the cream puffs and the espresso martini. The cream puffs were okay, but we LOVED the espresso martini. It was so smooth and so delicious! read more

Beautiful cafe with excellent patio seating for a beautiful day. The "via" area it's in is worth a visit too. Service was a bit confused but they were very busy and had large parties. Really enjoyed the food. Started with a small salad and then had the salmon paillard which basically had another large salad on top of it. The salmon was delicious and filling. They served chicken in a similar style that was also popular with our group. Definitely recommend. read more

The service was excellent. The courtyard is quaint and not too large to be intimate. I had the Pompano entrée which was good but not great. It was served with a large bed of spinach and roasted asparagus. I appreciated the plentiful amount of vegetables, but the spinach was maybe over garlicky. read more

My favorite place in the hood. Delicious food. Excellent ambiance. The garden is delightful.

I visited Cafe Via Flora for the first time Saturday night with my friend and her two small boys. We hadn't made dinner reservations and were having trouble getting a table somewhere, but stumbled across Cafe Via Flora and were seated immediately. To start, we ordered a selection of mocktails, which I thought were just okay. We were served complimentary bread which was very good, but the sauce it was served with was excellent. For appetizers, we shared the Beef Carpaccio and Tuna Poke Crips. Both were quite tasty. For our entrees, we ordered the Linguini Vongole Alla Positano, the Bone-in Veal Milanese, and the Tagliatelle Bolognese "Old School." The latter was my favorite, but everything was great. Unfortunately, we didn't have room for dessert, but I'd certainly go back! read more

PROS: This place was very quaint. The staff was nice, food was good, it came out quickly, prices were reasonable, and the variety on the menu was fair CONS: it's only outside which makes it weather permitting and it's located in the back alley which makes it tough to find OVERALL: if it's sunny and you're able to find it than I highly suggest you coming here read more

From the moment we walked up to this exquisite restaurant we knew this was a special place . Soft music playing in the background of the prettiest private courtyard settings mirroring the side streets of Capri Italy . The service is 5 star with being attentive , accommodating, welcoming and efficient. Our dinners were sensational!! The best gazpacho I've had and my shrimp scampi with zucchini was so flavorful. Our espresso martini was delicious paired with a delightful homemade carrot cake . Excellent meal in an incredible atmosphere . read more

For al fresco dining, this gem is our go to for delicious food, excellent service and a charming, relaxing atmosphere.

It was a great place to eat on Christmas Eve. The service was way beyond great and the atmosphere was nice. I liked the cold, but if you don't like Florida being 50 degrees, they had heat lamps all over. The al pesto and the other dishes came out piping hot and were very good. Even Bob from bobs burgers would agree the pesto and shrimp was a good dish to have. Avocado was fresh and the desserts were very good as well. (The tiramisu was honestly top tier) Overall great night and I wish all of you a merry Christmas! read more

I've now been able to enjoy CVF for lunch, dinner and dinner during the crazy winter rush! I can say that every visit was better than the last. Food was delicious every time. Must haves: lobster bisque (I can eat this everyday) The fresh tuna crisps were so good we ordered it 3 times lol The salads are always fresh and delicious and my husband orders the bone in chicken dishes and was blown away. So tender and juicy with lots of flavor. The bolognese is also good but I could do without. Carpaccio was good just smaller portion than we are used to. But that's fine dining! Service was a bit crazy during winter as oppose to the quieter summer months. It was hard to flag down our waiter however he was professional when he did show up. The best part: dining in the worth avenue courtyard between all the palm trees. Love the ambience and truly a perfect place to enjoy a delicious meal. read more

Ambiance is lovely in outdoor courtyard with lights. The food was very good but portions were a bit small. We ordered the $15 scalloped potatoes to share and it was only 3 bites of potato. I had the veal piccata which was very flavorful. It came with black truffle sachetti. Pasta. My husband had the chicken Milanese with a side of pasta a la vodka. The chicken was good but not as much flavor as the veal piccata. Service was ok but could be improved. read more

First they put bread on the table but no small plates to put the bread in. We ordered the pasta a la vongole and it was not authentic, it was watery and the pasta was cut in small stubs. the bolognese pasta was ok. the chairs were very uncomfortable, they need to add cushions to the bare chairs. For desert the Tiramisu was horrible, what were they thinking? I would not recommend this place to anyone.The plate of pasta definitely wasn't worth over $30.00 read more

Asked host/waiter if we could sit for some cocktails and dessert since it was 3 pm and we had already eaten lunch. Just wanted some expensive wine and a light snack and dessert. The waiter denied serving us and said lunch only. The restaurant was EMPTY. Not one table had a customer. How can a business turn away a paying customer. Not only was I shocked but I was disappointed. Went down the street to Swifty's and spent $100 read more

I've stopped by Café Flora a couple of times and have found their food to be very good and top of the line in quality. I've found their gazpacho soup to be one of the best. And, one dish they have which is not common to most restaurants is a tenderloin of veal. The one I had came with a side of potato and vegetables, was perfectly seasoned and done exactly as order. At $44.00 I thought most reasonable for what I had, especially considering the location on Worth Avenue to be one of the most exclusive and fashionable in the world. What I particularly like is the atmosphere of their patio seating which, instead of being right on the avenue, is in the walkway behind the storefronts. I also stop here on a Sunday afternoon just to enjoy a few cocktails, but was rather rudely told that Café Flora was a restaurant, not a bar, and unless I had something to eat, no cocktails. I was rather taken back by that since we were the only people there, and the waiter could have been a little more professional and polite about it. Like I probably would have had something to eat with my second drink, but after that surly lecture about the differences between a restaurant and a bar, no way. So Four Stars on the food I but minus one for waiter rudeness. read more

I cannot believe the service me and my family received walking into this place. Our reservation was for 5:15pm, we arrived a little early and had no problem sitting and waiting for our table while enjoying a cocktail. I had my 4 year old daughter with me, my parents and my uncle who has a hard time walking. We were greeted with "we are not open yet" I said "ok, can we maybe have some drinks while we wait?" the manager, I assume that's who he was, tells me "no". A normal person would have left and never gave them business, and I wish that's what I did. We walked around because the area is so beautiful and came back around 5:15pm for them to sit us at the ONLY table in the sun (there were other tables all empty btw)..the hostess tells me "The sun goes down soon don't worry" after 20 mins the sun was still blazing on us and thats when they FINALLY moved us. We are now ordering drinks and I said to the waitor "do you have any jui-" he cuts me off saying "we do not have a kids menu" I said "you don't have any juice you mix with cocktails?" I guess he realized a restaurant ALWAYS has something for a child and offers a Shirley temple, I said perfect!......THENNNNN when we were done eating, I asked him kindly to take a picture, he replies "well hurry up because I have a lot of tables".. I want to mention that throughout this whole experience, my family and I were nothing but nice and respectful and were treated this way, I was appalled and quite frankly cannot believe this is how the staff was and not to mention the prices weren't cheap. I will never go to this place again due to the staff, its a shame because the food was good and ambience was so pretty but yea...never again read more

Perfect example of what my husbans always tells me: stop choosing places to go to based on how cute they are and start choosing them for the food. Don't get me wrong, everything we ate waa delicious, but plates were too small and way overpriced. They also dont have beers, only wine So if you are a beer person dont even bother. The place though, was indeed super cute read more

As a frequent traveler due to the demands of my profession, I often find myself journeying across South America, Europe, and within my home country. While locating a restaurant is a relatively straightforward task, discovering an exceptional one proves to be a challenge. Recently, I encountered Cafe Flora in West Palm Beach. Given my status as a Floridian residing in close proximity, I opted to visit this establishment for a Valentine's Day dining experience. I secured an 18:45 reservation, albeit with the unexpected requirement to prepay for the booking online, totaling an exact sum of $317.50 at the insistence of my wife. This amount covered a three-course meal, excluding cocktails, spirits, or wine, and notably encompassed a mandatory 20% gratuity. Upon our arrival, we were captivated by the remarkable ambiance of the outdoor seating area, evoking a distinctly European atmosphere. Regrettably, the culinary offerings did not measure up to the setting. In comparison to the service and cuisine provided by Chops, Kalutz, Okeechobee Steakhouse, and Aglio Italian Restaurant, Cafe Flora fell short in terms of quality. I strongly advise against investing time and money in this exorbitantly priced establishment. I sampled the lamb, which left me with a lukewarm impression, while my wife opted for the chicken. For appetizers, I selected the spicy tuna, and she chose a type of salad. As for dessert, we both indulged in an Italian doughnut, the name of which escapes me. In hindsight, I estimate that our meal should have amounted to approximately $200, exclusive of gratuity. Regrettably, we overpaid for an experience that ultimately delivered only mediocre service and cuisine, lacking the anticipated "wow" factor. It appears that the requirement to prepay for reservations may have been implemented to ensure guest attendance. However, I have resolved never to repeat this experience, and I would have adjusted the tip to 10% to reflect the level of service received. Furthermore, it is worth noting that the items listed on the online menu at the time of our reservation were not available at the restaurant. It appeared that certain menu items had been omitted. Specifically, I had intended to order the 10-ounce filet, which, to my disappointment, was not an option according to the server. When I pointed out that it was listed on the online menu, he simply apologized. Additionally, the key lime pie, which had been advertised on the online Valentine's Day menu, was also absent upon our arrival. In light of these discrepancies, it seems that my initial expectations were not met. As the saying goes, "fool me once, shame on you." FYI parking is a mess including valet (we did valet and waited 35 minutes before our car was brought to us) find parking and walk it. read more

We were seated right away even though we did not have a reservation. The food was delicious and the service was great!

Cafe Via Flora - So very cute! - Steakhouses Near Me - Palm Beach, Florida

Five stars all around! Very warm, friendly service but also not at all pushy. We were celebrating a birthday and they were attentive but let us genuinely enjoy our time there. All of the staff had their masks on and the tables in the courtyard are really nicely spaced so you can dine comfortably. Kudos to them for making customers feel safe amidst Covid-19 stress. The food is delicious!! Tasty, creative dishes and generous portions. The fries tomato appetizer is unexpected and fantastic. I had pasta with shrimp and pesto which was awesome. Dad had the fish special and mom had the chicken paillard with watermelon salad - both also excellent. Prosecco, limoncello shots and tiramisu rounded out our indulgent lunch. A definite must go on Worth Avenue. read more

Great Italian restaurant in the area. The restaurant is outside in a courtyard with a great ambiance. The food is delicious and the drinks are really good too. We had the chicken parm and the shrimp pasta with pesto for mains- excellent. Appetizers that stood out were the Sicilian dates ( dates wrapped with proscuitto stuffed with parm- UNREAL) and the spicy tuna. Will definitely come back. read more

No wonder this place is always empty. Zero people at any time of the day. Mediocre food and rude waiters.

The garden atmosphere here is lovely and the food is quite good. I am giving 3 stars for service. Our waitress did not check on us and we had to ask for things 3x before we got them. Manager was trying to be polite, but you could tell the hot-headed italian in him wanted to explode as we finished up while the restaurant was trying to close. read more

Excited about trying this Italian restaurant. Found out that 98% of their seating was on a patio. I must say early appetizers were very good. Had 3 bottles of wine and cocktails. Christian was our waiter. I ordered the steak and two separate occasions I told Christian please medium rare. The steak was delivered well done. I said I mentioned to you twice medium rare. Christian replied "I don't cook it I just deliver it"! That was the last time we saw him. Still had a bottle of white in the chiller and we served ourselves. Had to go find some one to bring us a check (+700.00) I have not had so a belligerent server that I can recall. Don't come here. read more
