Always a great dining experience. Great wines and beers, delicious salads and small plates, wonderful mains, and inspiring desserts.

Disappointed to spend that much and be shuttled in and out in just over an hour. Service was a bit too efficient - clearing plates before all members of the party were finished with the course, which made us feel rushed. The ambiance also used to be nicer, which helped justify the price point. Now just plain wood tables and people in jeans and hoodies. I feel like Flea Street has lost some of its former special spark. Not sure if we will return.

The last time that I ate dinner at The Flea Street Cafe was 40 some years ago shortly after it opened. It was an exciting new and different place to eat at the time. I remembered for years having had a great experience. Flea Street is still great. Every single dish that I shared with my dining companion was fantastic. Each unique with great flavor and something surprising. The wait staff was equally marvelous -- friendly, helpful and adding to a great experience. I won't wait 40 some years to go back.

An absolute delightful dinner with amazing food. The corn soup started and the biscuits were especially good and the halibut was prepared in such a great way - simple ingredients that came together perfectly.

I had booked through OpenTable but arrived a day early by mistake. Even though there were several empty tables, they told me there was no availability and that the only option was to sit at the bar. I left, made a new reservation for the same time on OpenTable, and returned. Because I had a guest with me and had traveled a long distance, I decided to stay. The food was good, but the service was absolutely terrible. I will NEVER recommend this place.

Wonderful, as always. We get there about every 3 or so years when we are in town. Our server Alejandro was extremely helpful and highly knowledgable about the menu and potential allergy issues. Don't fill up with gas at the station across the street it was $6.39 a gallon.

Ambiance, food, service by Guillermina is outstanding. Had the Halibut "cheeks" Picatta and the Slow braised grass-fed short ribs--both dishes the best we have ever had. Enjoyed the dark chocolate torte for dessert and also a sweet card and ice cream offered for my birthday. Perfectly balanced rich chocolate and touch of sweetness. Bravo, Jesse Cool and Flea Street chef and staff!

We were hoping to sit inside but actually we loved our outdoor seating. The heaters and blankets were awesome! And we had the whole patio to ourselves! It's the best restaurant in town if you ask us! Can't wait to come back!

Exceeded expectations, exquisite cuisine, comfortable space, gracious service. Prices actually reasonable for this level of dining.
Wonderful evening. Great attention to every detail. Service was excellent, food was delicious. The chef came out to chat with us. The biscuits and butter were delicious!! They even decanter our wine !! It all made for a very special memory !!

Food quite extraordinary. we shared this and started w/'fried green tomatoes' light, tender seasoned wonderfully. My friend had the ribs, which fell apart and were so tender but she particularly liked all the vegetables and potatoes - she at those and took the meat home! I had something very different and wonderful the gnocchi with spicy Italian sausage and grilled fresh tomatoes - clever and delicious. We ended by sharing the apple pie with pecan ice cream. The crust on the pie was to die for and the pecan ice cream, we;; both were outstanding . Because there were just the 2 of us we were able to sit at the little table for two on the walkway. So fun and very comfortable, Service was outstanding, too.

I was really disappointed with my meal, definitely not worth the price point and the menu needs some sprucing up. I was completely turned off when my fried green tomatoes came with slimy microgreens. It really made me question the back kitchen. I didn't want to make a scene and wanted to be a good sport about it. Halibut piccata was good but you can't really go wrong with beurre blanc and puréed potatoes. Everything was pretty underwhelming— oysters not worth 30.00 the fig toast had way too much going on for such a little square of bread. Welp— I gave it a shot. Sad because I've had this place on my list to try for a while. Shoutout to the service staff— their service was great..

There was a variety of food from which to choose and every item we had was delicious. My only issue was the pricing of liquor was high.
