I dined here with friends for a Galentine's night out. The atmosphere was nice with low lighting, and nice decor. The food was absolutely delicious. The Chicken Murphy dinner was so tasty and a large portion. The bread pudding was heavenly! The service was good and the drinks were tasty. I plan to return again and sit in the lounge area for some live music. read more

This is a 3.5 * rating: Food was great. Bread is hi made and soft and flavorful. Calamari was good. My buddies steak looked great and he said that it tasted good. I had carbonara w chicken and it was good. Host was friendly and appreciative. Our waitress was unique. Robotic like/ almost as though she was just going through the motions wo any enjoyment whatsoever. Our dinner was a business dinner and we like to have fun and joke around. There was NO joking around w her! Very dry, and zero personality. I would come back and eat here - asking for another writer / waitress. read more

Went when they first opened said I'd never go back but gave them another shot, went for lunch at opening no wait! Sat at the bar ordered a soup and salad which came with great garlic bread. French onion soup was perfect! Salad was great and fresh. Bar tender was very attentive and kept a clean bar. I'd recommend this to anyone for lunch (I haven't tried their dinner). read more

Been here numerous times. Never been disappointed. First time I've had Beef Stroganoff in a long time. Wow. It was awesome. The mushrooms had a wonderful flavor as all the dish was cooked well. Caprese was excellent. Will go back. Roxxi our waitress was excellent. Good job read more

Visited on 1/20/26. Terrible, unless you like extremely overpriced, mediocre food, poor service, noisy environment. At a cost $100 or so per person, you would think they would have a hostess (not present). If you want to lose your appetite altogether, take a trip to the filthy men's restroom, and there you will find urinal cakes intentionally placed in the sink where you wash your hands, and several places throughout the restroom that they don't belong to cover up the foul smell due to lack of cleaning. The waitress who can speak English, but not understand English is also another lovely part of the experience. Because she doesn't know how to use the credit card machine for a company credit card that requires a pin, both our company (same company) cards...declined. She refused to let me show her how to use it and just kept saying "declined". - for a fortune 50 company - I think not . My annoyance with the matter forced her to used my personal card and pay out or my own pocket for a company meal so I didn't just go off. We both used our company cards 10 minutes later at a convenience store; both which worked instantly. Key takeaway, we should have eaten at the gas staton, saved our money for the pi$$ poorest experience I've had in a very long time. On one final note; the restrooms in the convenience store were clean, without urinal cakes in them as well. On a final, final note, who in their right mind cuts a medium rare filet in half and tossses it on a stack of mashed with 2 undercooked pieces of asparagus before it ever comes to the table. Don't freaking do that to my overpriced steak! My gawwwd folks. SMH read more

Made a reservation for 6:30pm, walked in, we were greeted warmly and seated immediately. This was our first visit, it was also our Valentines date night. The drinks the food the service even the laughter from a group of ladies across from us was delightful. I had the most delicious Rib-eye I have eaten at any restaurant, ever and my wife was equally excited about her Salmon. Dessert, Tiramisu for my bride and Bread Pudding for me, both delicious. Its not often we leave a restaurant without to go boxes but this time we just could not stop it was so good. We will definitely making Flair Taverna a date night regular. read more

Came here for a company team dinner and it exceeded all our expectations! Each of us ordered a different entree. We had several appetizers, and finished the night with desserts. All the food was delicious! From the homemade bread & oil, to the meatballs, calamari, and lamb. It was 10/10. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and made great recommendations. The chocolate cake was divine! Highly recommend to anyone visiting Odessa. The lighting is dark, but other than that, very pleasant experience. read more

We went to eat here and I had the fillet with asparagus and mashed potatoes. It was so refreshing to have mashed potatoes that were not garlic mashed potatoes. The asparagus was cooked perfectly so is my steak. The service was absolutely impeccable. The ambience was wonderful. We had a terrific evening and we were here working. I had never been to Odessa before And if I ever come back, I will definitely come back to this restaurant. read more

I've tried this place many times, trying to like it but after this last time, I will not be back. This food is veryyyy mediocre for a "high end restaurant", there was no ac on a 100° weather day, the bathrooms were disgusting with no hand soap. Lastly, I have a 11 month old that I needed to change, the bathroom did not have a changing station for babies, when I asked the guys at the front desk they said they would check another section for me (I had no idea he actually meant a section), he came back and walked me over to a section closed off with booths and chairs piled up and told me I could change her on a booth.. next to the kitchen. I am confused because, there is nothing on the website stating children aren't allowed therefore not having accommodations for them. read more

Overall an amazing experience! The food was superb, best we've had at an Italian restaurant. Very upscale establishment. We chose an appetizer each, Mediterranean mussels, lobster bisque, hubby picked the lamb, and I the chicken Marsala. The lobster bisque didn't have chunks but I couldn't tell by the flavor. So yummy! The sauce for the mussels was exquisite. Hubby said the lamb was cooked to perfection. My chicken was tender and moist. The Marsala sauce was just amazing. Waitstaff came around every few minutes to fill our waters. Just an amazing date lunch all around! Reasonably priced for the service and quality of food. read more

First and foremost the service here is unmatched. Raul, was excellent. Both at recommendations and his superior cocktail making skills. The smoked mezcal old fashioned he makes is ridiculous. Don't worry, he can make anything for whatever flavor you're into. The food did not suck. That carpaccio hit the spot. I'll definitely be back. read more

Yes, yes, YASSSSSS!!!!! This is NOT the same restaurant that we went to when they first opened. Someone's fairy godmother came in and turned that hot mess into a five star treasure hidden in the heart of Odessa! Before, I was whispering to my husband constantly to get me out of here. Tonight, I do not want to leave and closing time is going to be rough on the staff when they have to evict me from this booth! We loved the filet mignon with the house salad and the mashed potatoes, carrot, and asparagus. Well, it was my husband's but we shared everything in the end! I ordered the tortellinis and that was one heavenly dish! Usually a restaurant portion of tortellini is small but this was massive and sinful with the wine sauce. He also did a half glass of the moscato and loved it. We finished dinner with the cannolis and the berries and cream. Dessert was EPIC! They look like simple dishes but, yeah, they were incredible! It was so good that, oh yeah, my husband got down on one knee and asked me to marry him again because he still loves me despite me having cancer and wants to show that. read more

Cute spot in the middle of Odessa! The new management/owners really transformed this place. The decor is fun and fits the upscale vibe. We came for lunch, but it looks like they offer live music on the weekends. There's a stage inside. I'm sure it gets really loud since it's within an intimate space. We got seated right away. Our waitress was pleasant and attentive. The menu has a lot to offer from steak, seafood, pizzas and pasta. Towards the higher end in price, even for lunch. We got our drinks quickly. Warm rolls with olive oil dip to follow. We had a calamari appetizer and Caesar salad to start. Calamari was great. Comes with shrimp and veggies. A white and a red sauce. Serving size was meek considering the price. The Caesar salad was crisp and refreshing. I wonder if they make their own dressing as there's a smokiness to it unlike others I've had. Still yummy. I had the lobster risotto, which is intended to be a side, but I wanted to keep it light. Hubby got the lobster ravioli. My risotto was rich, creamy, and buttery. I couldn't even finish it. It's full of grilled tomato and asparagus, along with pieces of lobster. It can definitely stand on its own without a main. The lobster ravioli was great too. It comes with shrimp too. Only thing I would say is that the ravioli and the sauce did not marry together. It seems like the sauce was placed on top after as you can see the paleness of the ravioli. Would have liked it to be sautéed together so the ravioli could soak up that sauce. It also looks strange eating a bare piece of boiled ravioli. All in all, the flavors were there. I couldn't finish my risotto so asked for a box to go. Our waitress boxed it up for us, which was nice. But when we got the tab, it looks like you get charged $2 for that service. I could've handled boxing it myself had I been aware of the fee. Just a head's up for those grabbing your items to go! Would come back. Especially for the live music. Maybe not as frequently considering the tab. read more

Been here multiple times with my wife, and it is good every time. I would avoid the flatbreads, but everything else is great.

Best 'nice' dinner in Odessa and puts some of the nicer spots in Midland to shame. We've been here several times. I've found the lamb to be among the best I've ever had, so I stick with that. My wife usually orders a pasta dish and its always excellent. You can tell that everything is made in house and I appreciate that they put effort into making a plate that looks good as well as tastes great. From appetizers to desert, everything is hard not to eat 'just one more bite' of. We've had a different waiter every time, and they all have been friendly, attentive and quick to answer menu questions or even go back to the kitchen if they don't know the answer off hand. It makes me happy something like this is in Odessa and even happier to see it packed on a Friday night. read more

Located in a small plaza, typical steakhouse vibe with great service. Short visit in Odessa lead me to this gem. Ordered the filet mignon, lobster risotto and frutti di mare. Honestly one of the best filets I've had in a while. The sauce that accompanied the filet was exceptional as well. Frutti di Mare was really flavorful with a light creamy tomato flavor. The lobster risotto although delicious had more vegetables than lobster. Would highly recommend if you are in the area! read more

I've been telling everyone this is my favorite restaurant in west Texas for 3 years. I feel silly for doing so. My steak was cut in half already when I got it (wtf? This isn't your cousins BBQ?), and it was crazy over salted. The carrots tasted like they've been left out all day. The bread was stale. The shrimp was cooked to literal rubber. For the price... (nearly a 200$ tab for 2ppl) it was ridiculous. The bartender was really sweet, but she seemed pretty jaded. Probably because her BOH staff is a nightmare. I was really excited to come here, but I will not be coming back or recommending Flair for a while. read more

Tried tonight. Very disappointed. It really really wants to be an upscale restaurant. Sadly they are missing the mark. The service was pretty decent and staff was friendly. The downside was the food and the noise. It's very loud. When the lights are low and the prices are higher there is no room for noise and/ or children. The food is another story. You just can't build a rep off of prefab food. Bread is prefab not " in- house" as were other things. Lasagna had the "freezer taste". The items we tasted were obviously not made in house. Maybe purchased at Sam's? Unless they revamp we will not go back. read more

Everything was delicious. Great service and atmosphere. Would recommend and will definitely be back.

First of all our service was terrible. Our bruschetta was entirely too hard to bite into. Definitely over toasted the bread. My filet tasted like Hernard's liquid smoke. I ordered it medium and it came out completely charred. Like chewing leather with liquid smoke and o was not served to correct sides for my filet. My husband had the Seafood Paella. Again...disgusting. All the seafood seemed to have been frozen due to it being rubbery in texture. The ONLY thing we enjoyed was the two cocktails before dinner. Our server never checked on us. We were one of three tables. They weren't busy so there was no excuse other than she was wrapping silverware....absolute worst dinner experience. Definitely do not recommend. Although the ambiance was nice...the lack of service along with food we couldn't eat was not worth the $175 price. We won't be back. read more

Awesome! We tend to go to restaurants in Odessa and Midland at off peak times because of our 2.5 hour drive to get there. So when we do go, we try to find the best places to go. This was a great experience, from the waitstaff to the house wine to the bread to the frutti di mari, I was in love. The place is cute...romantic and the food it awesome! read more

Flair Taverna - Chicken Marsala off menu - Italian Near Me - Odessa, Texas

Yesterday's lunch was so disappointing. I suggested this to my family to go and celebrate my 40th birthday. My mom said she had read a couple of alarming reviews, but against her judgement I wanted to give it a try anyway. I mean, all the other good reviews couldn't be wrong, right? Boy was I wrong. We ordered the carpaccio as an appetizer. It had a tiny salad on top that was way overdressed and lettuce that looked spoiled already. We tasted the meat and decided against eating more because it didn't seem spoiled, but not great either. I didn't want to eat raw meat that didn't taste good. The capers were so overdone that they were hard. We told them we were done with it with only 2 bites missing, they asked if we wanted a box to go. (Like really.... Who takes carpaccio to go?!) We politely declined. Fast forward to getting our meal, my one year old son received his meal about 10 minutes after we got ours because they forgot about it. It should have been the first thing out IMO, but whatever. To top that part off, there were only 2 small ravioli in the dish. If my son were older, I would have had to order 3 more plates to fill him up. At $7, no thanks. I had ordered the mushroom risotto and the mussels. The risotto had a very strange taste and a very mushy consistency. They overcooked it. The waitress said that maybe I was tasting the Marsala wine they used in it. I hate Marsala wine- wish the menu had that description and I wouldn't have ordered it. Okay fine- I'll just eat my mussels. The first 2 shells I flipped had no mussels in them. I found 2, and ate them. The flavors were okay so I continued. Then I pulled THREE mussels in a row with the beards still on them. If you know anything about mussels, that is a big no no. At that point, I was done. My mom ordered the chicken picatta. The chicken was a processed piece of chicken with a mushy consistency- like that they used to make nuggets at McDonalds. She ate it because she was hungry and knew I was mad already. My aunt's flatbread was minimal at best and my granny's salad and/or spaghetti gave her food poisoning. I realize that term is overused- but it hit her about 8-9 hours later and she was up all night with diarrhea and stomach cramps. It's hard to deny that one. I will never be back to this place and highly recommend management do something about this because it is terrible. My family even told the waitress it was my birthday. She never said happy birthday or even offered us dessert. And it's not like she was busy- there were only 3 tables in the whole restaurant. That should've been our first clue. How disappointing to leave my birthday lunch so hungry with a $200 tab!!!! The only reason this place got one star from me was because I did order an espresso martini that was okay. It wasn't the best, but it was the best thing that came to our table that day. read more

The atmosphere was very nice, romantic and its definitely a cute spot. Perfect for a date night and the waiters were very pleasant and attentive. My water was constantly being filled which I really appreciated. I don't know if they were giving us tap water but it was very good. We ordered the Calamari Fritto Misto, Flair Chicken, Frutti di Mare and Creme Brulee as well as a couple of drinks. The calamari was not good and the creme brûlée had a very thick layer of sugar though the creme was good. Everything else was pretty tasty. Overall I'd say its a bit overpriced for what they offer, however it does have a very nice ambiance with decent choices so I would definitely come back and enjoy the service their waiters provide. read more

4.5 out of 5 stars. Staff was attentive, decor was refreshingly modern and it was super clean. Calamari appetizer comes with breaded zucchini, cauliflower, green bell peppers and chipotle mayo. The pizzas are about 10" radius and good for 1 person. Mac was good too, just took off .5 because they just need to work on how they season their entrees. The pizza was wayyyy too salty and the mac had 0 salt. The crème brûlée was delicious though. I'd come here for a fancy shmancy date next time. read more

We stopped in for lunch on a Friday. The wait staff was very friendly and attentive. The complimentary bread and oil with herbs were a delicious start. The two of us shared a few appetizers, all very good: Bruschetta... topped with a wonderful balsamic vinegar and served with thick, grilled bread. Crab cake bites... appreciate that these are crab meat with breaded crust instead of mostly breading inside. Polpettes... meatballs that are very tender, again appreciate that these are meaty and not just bread crumb filling. I had the Blackberry Smash. A+ Looking forward to trying the entrees and desserts in the future. read more

This place was a pleasant surprise. With all the failed places that have been at that location, it's great to have a really good restaurant in place. The service was outstanding, we had Nadia as our waitress and she was absolutely fantastic. Very attentive and very polite. We had butternut squash ravioli as an appetizer and it was popping with flavor ! Also had the tomato basil soup and it was so great I'm still thinking about it ! I had the roasted chicken al limone as my entree and it was so delicious. Big portion as well. My wife is a vegetarian and she had the cheese ravioli and she was very pleased with her plate. Lots of vegetarian options. The way they dress the plates are outstanding as well. Can't wait to come back and I'll save room for dessert this time! read more

The food was excellent and the service was very good. However, we made reservations to eat at a nice restaurant- not a haunted house. The decor for Halloween was over the top, disturbing and not appreciated when planning on taking special guests to an "upscale" restaurant for a nice meal. As frequent customers, we were very disappointed with today's environment. read more
