Absolutely fabulous! We felt transported straight back to the 1920s. The atmosphere was incredible, full of charm and character. Our server was so friendly and charismatic, and their knowledge of the menu and recommendations made the experience even better. We had such a wonderful time and can’t wait to come back. A true gem for a memorable night out!

Just a delight from start to finish: imaginative but blessedly NOT freaky drinks, delicious nibbles, charming and efficient service. A new go-to for us when we have visitors-- and when we don't.

Great food and drinks at Flores. We prefer to sit outside as it is quite loud and dark inside.

I had one of the best meals I've ever eaten. I ordered the whole fish, and was blown away by it. I love the attention to details in the decor year round, but really soaked in the Halloween vibes! I also had one of the most imaginitive martinis ever, with flavor combinations I've never dreamt of. My server was the best as well: I have celiac disease, and even though the menu doesn't mention gluten free options, she and the chef worked together on the spot to provide me with a completely safe meal. They both understood what celiac is, and went out of their way to accommodate. Sobre Mesa is my new favorite restaurant. It is THAT good. Food, service, ambience, and customer care are all top notch.

    We were there for my daughters birthday and it was a lovely day great service! Food was as expected pretty good , my only complaint was the thickness of the chowder flavor was good but it was waaaayyyy too thick. In needed to have some milk or cream added to make sure it was soup . I had double Burger huge good flavor and cooked perfectly to my taste. My wife had omelette which was huge! Pico was good and toast was perfectly toasted! My daughter had salmon Benedict and she was happy ! Dad had bacon n eggs it was another large portion! Mom had the regular Benedict and had enough to take home! The cocktails were good as well Nice touch !

    The renovated space is very attractive, the food was delicious (a range of appetizers and a mushroom pizza), cocktails and wine were spot on. Service was attentive but not excessively so. Lovely meal.
