Cafe Via Flora

Venue was nice and server was very friendly, however food was overpriced and underwhelming.

On Worth Ave you have many choices. All very extremely expensive or crazy expensive, café via Flora is a moderate alternative, Pal mercy moderate that is, ok sandwich menu, of drink menu. Lovely courtyard location. Passable ‘service

Our server was probably the rudest I have seen, we just ate the pizza and he comes after 10 min and said «oh wowo you already ate the pizza-​really fast «you never say something like to customers!!!
Pizza was decent, coffee was horrible!
Arugula salad was ok!

Nothing exciting… very ordinary. The surprise although came with the bill… they had literally hand written the tip!!! But they were nice to make the total a round number !!! So what the tip became 20.86%… ??? Have dined at least in 50 countries… not seen anything like this… Wish at least the food was worth it.

A comida e o local é muito agradável! Porém o atendimento é péssimo… Não deixaram eu dividir o prato com outra pessoa, quando pedi a pizza o garçom fez cara de bunda e disse que demoraria 25 minutos e que era para pedir outro prato! Really? Quem faz isso? O bom e que pedi uma massa com lagosta que estava deliciosa porém a porção é pequena… Recomendo pela comida e ambiente porém o serviço é péssimo!!!

Nice location and ambient. Relatively reasonable price compare to other $$$ places around. The turkey sandwich was well made, while bolognese was just mediocre. Orange juice wasn’t freshly squeezed — I could pay 50 cents more to get in in my hotel. Moreover, the waiter doesn’t seem to care about you so much. As the only waiter there, you should be paying attention to your customer, and therefore I rate this place 3 stars: one off the orange juice, one off the waiter.

My husband and I stopped here for a Friday lunch. I had the Pear Salad and he had the Chicken Palliard. The salad was not fresh and looked as if prepared day before as wilted. His chicken was very thin, dried out and tough to cut. They hammered out all the goodness! It was served with side salad but again, not crisp and fresh.
Bathroom is in common space so maybe not directly under owners care but it was filthy. We had trouble getting check because waiters hang around kitchen serving bar which is in other building from inside dining so we had to get up and go pay.
Lot of other places in Palm beach so wouldn’t waste time here.

This restaurant is in a great location! It’s kind of hidden, hard to find. Outdoor seating is a must! Now on to the food. Nothing special here. I started with the Caesar salad, then onto the Pappardelle Bolognese. I was really looking forward to it but it was just so so. I’ve had a lot better. For desert I had the tiramisu which was delicious! Bottom line is it’s just ok. Service could have been a little better also. There is better and there is a whole lot worse. Happy dining!

Had lunch here today. The food was delicious. We had the chicken sandwich and arugula salad. Service was amazing. Beautiful courtyard. Highly recommend this place!

Great location in a very pleasant side street off Worth street. That is unfortunately the end of the good news.
The wait for food was long, the staff was not attentive, the food was not memorable, including a severely undercooked burger, that was refered to as medium-​rear.
For the price you can do better anywhere on Worth Street.

Awesome awesome awesome! Beautiful inside patio and nice staff. Not very pricey and food and wine are delicious. I would definitely go back again.

We visited the restaurant last night and there were only three tables occupied.
Our waiter was the rudest waiter I had encounter in my life and to top it off with real bad service.
If that was not enough, the food we received, gazpacho soup was cold and had a bug in it and salad was missing the dressing.
The worst was, after being there for 30 min, the waited asked us in front of other guests to hurry up and order desserts and coffee and vacate the table in ten minutes because they are very busy.
And only 5 of the 20 tables were occupied.
The other waiter was so rude to customers on the neighboring table, they just got up and left after insulting push by the waiter to not give them another table.
Just rude, insensitive and greedy waiters. If you can avoid this restaurant please do so.
Jst as we were leaving, the Italian wiater came back and asked us to stay for the desserts, we politely declined. Ended up having desserts at Renato’s. Much better.
The only reason I gave one star because I can not give zero.

Very nice place tucked away off Worth Ave. Worth a try for lunch. You won’t regret it!

Prosciutto wrapped dates with manchego– excellent! Chilled gazpacho on a sunny day-​perfect. I had the beet salad with chicken for my lunch entrée and it was also quite delicious. Café Via Flora is a gem inside a beautiful hidden garden with excellent service. Top choice for an intimate lunch date under the shaded tables or a romantic dinner outside. Make sure to explore the garden for hidden statues! They probably need a bigger wine selection, but otherwise definitely a great dining option while shopping in the area.

I’m actually embarrassed that I haven’t reviewed this place earlier considering how well I was treated by them.
My boyfriend and I were visiting Palm Beach when we discovered this adorable little place tucked away in a beautiful garden area. We made a reservation for two that evening. When we arrived at our appointed time (lookin’ fancy) the staff had set up a special little table for us practically in the garden. It was clear they knew we had booked a date and did something a little special. I was instantly touched.
From there the service was impeccable and the food fantastic. I had the risotto with shallots. The shallots were perfectly cooked and seasoned well. My boyfriend had the salmon with sweet potato fries and greens. An interesting combination that worked very well together. The white wine we ordered on recommendation suited our meal choices well. An additional note, I was impressed with the menu. It had a very interesting selection of entrée’s that was unique but clearly suited to any palate.
Overall, this experience was wonderful. They went the extra mile for us and followed up with great food. Even better, it didn’t break the bank (hey, this is Palm Beach)!

A very nice café hidden in one of the courtyards off of Worth Ave. The food is very good and surprisingly reasonable. Great place for lunch. Nice find.

Charming hidden place behind Worth Ave. Good excuse to explore the hidden courtyards of Worth Ave. Perfect for lunch or a small bite/​drink on a sunny day.

Love the coffee here and to sit in the terrace tables to eat is such a treat!
When you are strolling in Worth Avenue this is one great stop to analize shopping and regroup! They also have Italian gelato! yum!

Only a few tables outside, but what a treat if you do get one. There’s nothing better than sitting amidst the bouganvilleas in a Mizner via! Good lobster salad sandwich.
