We had a wonderful lunch recently at Cafe Flo! It was very crowded when we were there, but our server Paloma was so welcoming and attentive, and made our experience extra special. We also noticed her and other staff staying calm and collected when having to deal with some not-so-nice customers at a neighboring table. Food was fresh and delicious, and of course you can not beat the view of the river. Our only suggestion is to add some background music on the patio, as it would add to the beautiful setting. We look forward to returning next year when we are in the area.

Outdoor seating along the lieutenant river, marsh, amazing salmon, sumac, perfection, and lobster BLT great service
This is an absolutely wonderful place to have lunch or drinks. The water, the venue, and the amazing service is beyond the beyond. Three of us had laughter, warmth, great food, and a waitress who took the experience to the next level. Appetizers, large lunch/dinner, dessert, wine, a glorious afternoon. Thank you Diane......

Wow, what a fantastic lunch! Thoroughly enjoyed everything, in particular the za'atar shrimp, the grilled Reuben and vegetarian chili. Also, creative cocktails and the well-curated wine list.

I enjoyed a lovely lunch at Café Flo after touring the equally lovely FloGris Museum. The riverside scenery—especially on a clear spring day— made it feel like you were in one of the many impressionistic paintings displayed in the museum.
The food was aesthetically presented, frequently with flowers. I liked the whipped lemon ricotta appetizer and the lemon mousse dessert, which was light and sweet with the exact right amount of lemon zing.
I would definitely recommend this café if you plan on visiting the museum or if you’re looking for a pretty spot for a pleasant date; it’s a nice place to leisurely while away a few hours on a free day.
Great menu selection and gorgeous setting. Outstanding asparagus soup! Love the half soup and sandwich option. Wonderful staff!

My family always enjoys eating at Cafe Flo. The food is fresh and creative and have never had a bad meal. Sitting outside overlooking the Lieutenant River is definitely a plus.

Whether you go for the art and stay for the food, or simply go for the food; you can’t go wrong dining at Cafe Flo. We stopped by the Florence Griswold museum on a nearly perfect Autumn day and were delighted by the food, atmosphere, and service at Cafe Flo. The cafe is seasonal with outdoor seating overlooking a bend in a gentle river that meanders by. The picture perfect views complement the experience. Note: it can get breezy and be a bit cooler in the shade of the porch, so dress accordingly. The menu and specials board presented the challenge of having to choose among several great options. Choose we did, I opted for the beet and goat cheese salad, which was fresh and flavorful. My spouse order the mushroom bisque, having been inspired by the mushrooms of the Wee Faerie Villages (An annual autumn event at the “FloGris”).
Both dishes were fresh and flavorful. For dessert we enjoyed the apple crisp pie, which we found to be done just right - fresh, subtly spiced, and not overly sweet.
In addition to the season food specials, several beverage specials were available as well, including alcoholic and nonalcoholic option.
Cafe Flo is worth a visit, whether you are visiting the art galleries/museum or not.
