Everyone loves to dine out.  Now a
FLORA GIFT CERTIFICATE is a click away.  How easy is that?

And, lastly a sad goodbye to longtime bartender, TED RABIDOUX who is retiring after 27 years in the business.  Ted has made many friends at the Harvest, the Blue Room and for the last 12 years here at flora.  He will be missed.  Hopefully, Ted will be making more Art!  You can find Ted online at: Ted Rabidoux’s Art

Kicking off on Friday, February 12, a series of events and specials in Capitol Square will celebrate the mysteries of love and art. Exhibits will be found in galleries and restaurants and several other venues. Capitol Square, East Arlington’s business district, is a fun destination for great cinema, eclectic shopping, and scrumptious dining. Home to the Arlington Center for the Arts and a flourishing community of creative-minded businesses, Capitol Square nourishes the artistic inclinations in all of us.

The weekend will culminate with a raffle drawing for the “Whole Lotta Love from Capitol Square” gift basket – valued at over $600. Businesses are donating merchandise and gift certificates to the basket, which will be raffled off to benefit the Arlington Center for the Arts. Raffle tickets can be purchased at ACA and at ARTBEAT during the weekend, with the drawing on February 15th.

Third Thursday at Flora
December 17th, 2009

With Flora’s effervescent staff a night of bubbles seems somewhat redundant….never the less…

Flora honors the discovery of Dom Perignon so many years ago. The legend says that when he first tasted champagne he announced loudly “come my brothers for I am drinking stars”

It’s the season of joy and we have so much good cheer. The evening will feature a wide selection of champagnes and sparkling wines.

Our sparkling selection from around the globe will pair with each course, and we’ll taste why almost any dish deserves celebration!

Make a reservation for any time for this Thursday’s event!
