Excellent and yummy food, I like the character the place has, and the staff members were kind. I will definitely visit here again.

Not a lot of large plate choices, and really too expensive, but food was very excellent. Best creamed spinach I ever had. Lots of small plate choices. Its good for social engagements when you are not too hungry. Service was excellent.

I thought I walked into a women's afterwork happy hour club. I'm not kidding there were only a few guys in a sea of hot ladies...

This place constantly delivers. They serve fantastic dishes for affordable rates, there is no waiting time even when the spot is loaded.

Visited the Florence for the first time tonight and it was amazing. Ok first, having read other reviews I assumed the food would just be ok but everything we got was soooo good. I got the strawberry lemonade cocktail on happy hour and my husband and I shared the double cheeseburger protein style and it was delicious. Our kids also shared a double cheeseburger. On Saturday nights they have prime rib and we shared that and it was also so good. We got it with a side of asparagus. We also order the Brussels sprouts and they are delicious as well. The best part was we have little kids and we got to sit with adults on the patio and have a conversation while they run around the grassy area and played on the grass. It’s such a win. You have to try it.

I REALLY wanted to love this place. It is very close to our house and the restaurant is gorgeous (inside and out). We tried the Florence for dinner (6 of us) on a Saturday night. The restaurant was not very crowded and there were only a few people sitting outside under the gorgeous pavilion. Despite this, we were seated in a strange, out the way table that when it got dark had no light to see what we were eating. We had to ask for candles so that we were able to read menus, etc. We ordered some appetizers which were just ok. The salmon tots were edible but the steak tartare had so much acid in it that I could not eat it - too much lemon or lime or caper juice. Something was just terribly overpowering. The fries were good but nothing special. My friends who ordered Halibut had a very nice meal - it was good. I ordered the Petite Prime Rib and the waitress took my order then came back later to let me know they did not have that particular cut of meat. She said they had run out of it. I only counted a few tables with people at them so I was very confused. I asked for the steak they used with the steak frites but with the potato puree and they obliged. The potato puree was SOOOO good...I wish I had a whole bowl of just that. The steak, however, was so tough that I couldn't chew it...literally. I have never had a cut of meat that I couldn't chew. The waitress did take it off the bill but I was super bummed that I didn't get to eat a steak that night. The drinks were all very tasty but we did not order dessert. Like I said I REALLLLLY want to like this place and I am going to give it a little time and then go back once more. It is such a beautiful spot that has so much potential. To be truly successful, however, I feel that the food quality needs to improve.

Had my co-ed Baby Shower here and it was AMAZING! Our guests kept commenting on this little hidden gem. The space was perfect, the food was delicious (especially the cupcakes!!), and the service was superb. Venessa, our event coordinator, was extremely thorough and amazingly helpful especially with planning the menu. We got to enjoy the time with our family and friends which is how it should be. Would recommend for any event!!

The bar has a good assortment of wine and cocktails along with six to ejght beers on tap and several bottles choices. The happy hour appetizer menu should give most people something to snack on, though with modest portions. The dinner menu is refreshingly simple and appeared well done. Breakfast and coffee bar also available.

Great place for brunch or dinner. Food is generally ok. I had the New York strip, which was cooked perfectly. Good beer selection. Props for having a good stout on tap. Outdoor area is nice and good for kids to run around.

We have now had the pleasure of dinning at The Florence quite a few times. It’s wonderful. Great ambiance inside or outside. Service is attentive and prompt. Food is delicious. Cocktails are inventive and fun. But the stand out also is the facilities... a little step stool for children to reach the basin to wash their hands! It’s these little attentions to detail that make a restaurant even more exceptional!

Hidden gem with a huge outdoor area that is dog-friendly! Inside decoration is gorgeous as well, perfect spot for coffee with friends or to get work done.
