THIRD THURSDAY: BUBBLES!
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!

YOU CAN BRING THE KIDS (Really)
Although we haven’t publicized a kids’ menu per se, we have accommodated the younger set. For those under 12, you can get our own panko-crusted chicken fingers, pasta or mashed potatoes and all the vegetables you are willing to eat for $8! Of course the chicken-averse may just get the pasta with sauce, and vegetables. A changing fish-of-the-day is also available. We have been told by many harsh critics that our chicken fingers are the best they’ve ever had. Sadly, adults will have to bring a young person in and persuade them to share…the chicken fingers–they are for kids only.
