Review of Cafe Flora

Having been a patron of Cafe Flora for what seems ...

Having been a patron of Cafe Flora for what seems like forever, it was very disappointing to take a client there for lunch last week.

The restaurant atrium is nice, but the service was glacial. We waited more than a half hour after ordering our food. I ordered an egg scramble with mushrooms that had a "nettle and cilantro" sauce on top. My client ordered the same dish except with tofu.

She thought it was okay, but the flavor for me was bad. Even though I scraped off as much sauce as I could, it left a bad aftertaste that lingered much of the afternoon, even when I chewed gum! If you order this dish, ask for the sauce on the side.

Cold, bitter coffee was replenished with reasonable frequency. Not sure if they were having an off day, but it wasn't busy when we arrived.
