| - This is an "on the one hand" kind of place. On the one hand, it's an awesome location, a very cool space, and it's beautiful on the inside. On the other hand, parking is pure evil and they are small enough that waits can be some time during peak hours. On the other hand, they have valet parking so you can pay to not have to deal with parking.
On one hand, they serve fun breakfasts and simple nice lunches. On the other hand, they don't really "cook" much. It's like they bake or heat generally. While what they do is good, sometimes it's only when dining there that you realize what you're missing. Like, oh... dinner?? Seriously - would it be that hard to throw on some hot pasta dishes to the menu? I mean, the closest thing they have to dinner is a tuna melt. I can be drinking from the bar and listening to classical music, but my dinner will be a tuna melt? Hmmmm...... Kinda kills it for me.
I also had the "we're not open late tonight" experience mentioned in other reviews. Only tried it once, but after a successful "dinner" there, I don't think I'll be going again after 4pm unless they change their menu.
My final thoughts on My Florist is that when it was the only game in town (How many cool downtown eateries were there when this opened?) it could do and be whatever it wanted and folks would still flock. There are some other great spots opening up. One wonders if they may need to adapt a bit to keep their current "elite" position.
