Food is excellent. Loved the salmon and soup. Definitely recommend even if it is a little pricey. Service was excellent as well with the staff providing drink refills without asking and being nicely attentive.

Went to see the (7pm) Nutcracker ballet show and made (5:30pm) dinner reservations at Florian. We had drinks, prime rib and chicken cacciatore. We weren’t a fan of the bread rolls. Dinner was delicious.
We also pre-ordered drinks and dessert for intermission - walked back into the restaurant without waiting - ready at the same table for us. The dessert was amazing and the drinks were strong.
It was a great first time experience and we plan to be back.

Location, location, location.
Don't go unless you are worried about missing the show, and if you do go, stick with the cheaper items. Service is good - wish the servers at the airport were so good. Drinks were fine. Food was NOT good, especially for the OUTRAGEOUS prices for entrees. We got Roasted Salmon ($57) - so overcooked and dry and cold it had to be returned, Chicken Cacciatore ($57) which was okay but I have had better from Trader Joes, and barely edible Prime Rib - a replacement for the Salmon, and they still upcharged to $67. That's zero-for-three on the Main Act menu. The salad with capers was a promising starter and the servers did try and steer us to the Brasserie menu, to their credit. The room is nice but dated. I would go back for a pre-show drink and appetizer; otherwise no.

Service was good. Food not so much.
There’s a specific hostess that for no known reason, behaves very rudely whenever we’re there. It was the same last year - tried to complain but not sure the complaints going thru. The food excellent, the atmosphere and all other staff members, all wonderful - just this one particular hostess has some unknown, unprovoked issues.

Was starving before the opera and stopped up to get something in my stomach quickly. Ordered shrimp and a prosecco. The food was 5 plump dry shrimp, period! Not a cracker, a lettuce leaf, a cherry tomato--nada! And a champagne flute of prosecco. They add 21% tip. Not worth it.

We were seeing the show at the Lyric Opera House so we decided to eat at the restaurant Florian. I see everybody rated it very well. I wish I had their experience. We walked in got seated, and the chair was broken. The chair was switched out. We ordered a prime rib sandwich a chicken salad sandwich which we were going to split. The prime rib sandwich was Full of gristle and was not edible, the chicken salad sandwich was OK. We ordered tea which was fine, but when we asked for a refill, we never got it. Since we didn’t eat the lunch We ordered a dessert. An orange tart. The orange tart was a piece of flaky dough with nothing in it. We did complain about the dinner. I told them that the prime rib was not edible. We also asked where the orange cream was in the tart. Nobody could really tell us anything. We got the bill and nothing was taken off for a meal that we did not eat! Very very Disappointing! $70 meal that we could not eat.
The maître d’ was so cold and rude and made it known that we were not liked. I’m Disgusted!!!!

Came to see the nutcracker and before the show we went upstairs to the bar/restaurant. I asked the lady if we could sit at table which was not busy and that table never got booked. She had glasses and was a bit rude and directed us to the bar. Yet a party of three Caucasian people walked in and she wanted to direct them to the dinning room but they choose to sit in the bar. The food was okay and bartender was nice but overall I would rate it a two.

I had lunch with a friend before the opera on Wednesday, 10/2. We ordered the same item. The quiche was dry and tasteless, the crust dried and burned. The salad, also dry and tasteless. Child sized portion. Terrible dining experience.
