Flora at Gardiner House

What a fantastic dinner at Flora with my girlfriends for our annual Girlsgiving! From the host gathering our jackets, to our server, to the valet making sure we got our group shot. Every employee was so wonderful. At dinner, we were greeted by TR whose prompt service, bubbly personality, and warm hospitality was incredibly professional. He was thorough in explaining the dishes, the wines, and all the specials. Every app was carefully placed and tasted exquisite. For dinner, I ordered the John Dory fish special that was served with zucchini risotto. Possibly the coziest fall dish I’ve ever had. There was nothing left on the plate— I’d say that’s a chefs kiss, right there. We ended the night with a nightcap in the Green bar room downstairs— absolutely stunning bar. Thank you so much for a gr

Such a beautiful place but the food was so incredibly disappointing. The best of it was the mushroom truffle soup which was delicious. The oysters while well chilled and fresh were tiny and not worth the price. The tuna crudo was bland and boring as was the beanzino. The worst however was the $75 surf and turf with a strip steak that was so tough I couldn’t even cut through the fat and again it was near flavorless

We had an excellent dinner here. Lobster tail appetizer was served on ice with a cocktail sauce. A nice combo! Mushroom soup was flavorful. The plum duck was spectacular : perfect medium rare with sweet potato and spinach side, and the plum sauce that sealed the deal. The dining is very sunny, all tables are in the sun. I have problems with the sun and the accommodate my request for a table change, which was not easy to find. They have valet parking and a parking lot of their own. A big plus in Newport.

Gorgeous Hotel and stunning inside and outside water views in the Flora Restaurant upstairs on the second floor. The service we received was exceptional and we were catered to from start to finish. The seafood was exquisitely prepared by Chef Miguel Samonza originally from Spain, and was absolutely delicious, creative, and a slice of heaven. The wine was perfection and the Sunset overlooking the Harbor was beautiful and romantic. Unbelievable experience.

Beautiful setting at the harbor. The hostess was so nice. Last minute request for seating outside was readily accepted. What a beautiful outside experience. Sunset views. Food was so good. Attentive staff. Although we didn’t stay at the hotel, they looked excellent and a cute evening party place…..high end. Would highly recommend to stay here and dine in this lovely restaurant.
