Flores Restaurant & Bar - Wappingers Falls, New York

What a nice surprise. The food was very good and the service was excellent. They decorated fur Christmas which was fun and had a good vibe. Head chef Christopher came out and asked us about the food and asked us if we needed anything . The menu is different from online because it is under new management. My tacos were tasty and my wife’s burger with Brie was unbelievable. Fun drink options and overall the food prices were reasonable. The spinach dip was fantastic just needed more bread. The desserts included the churros and the hazelnut tart. Great presentation.

Edit 4/12/24: much better experience
We gave the restaurant another chance. They out performed in their service and food. They've changed the menu so there are new options. I had the ribs which were done to perfection!

The covid barriers are now down and the appearance of the restaurant is much nicer. It's very nicely decorated!

We recommned going and trying them out! They have live music on some nights, so that always draws a good crowd,
We Sadly this seems like a restaurant on its way out. Friday night only four tables were seated when we were there.

Waitress was never to be found. She was more than neglectful. She was rarely in the room. She didn’t like she knew how to serve. We had to ask for everything. We had to go to the bar to get our drinks. The bartender waited on us and apologized. He was very nice. He even took our food order because she was still missing - remember there were only four tables.

It’s no longer a tapas restaurant. However we enjoyed everything we ate.

They have nice tables and beautifully decorated. It was obviously somebody’s dream - which made it sad to see it empty during dining hours.

Please take down the Covid barriers. They detracted from the dining experience.

Wow! Completely blown away by this place. Everything was delicious. For cocktails had the purple drank and bullets & bees. Very good and Instagramable drinks.

For tapas had the Brussel sprouts, octopus with purple potatoes, jamon croquettes, and their St. Patrick’s Day Cornbeef empanadas special. The seafood paella was so fresh. And ended with churros and homemade peanut butter cup ice cream.

Very happy and full belly! Plus the staff is super nice!

My husband had been searching for a new place to dine for Valentine’s Day…we had just finished spending a day at the galleria when we drove past Flores Tapas and his interest was immediately piqued. I took a look at the website and noticed they had a Valentine’s Day menu which caught my attention so we decided to make our reservation. The staff was so incredibly friendly and that Valentine’s Day menu needs to be a permanent sweetheart menu because what an impression it made!! The smaller portions of food are to be expected as well…after all, tapas is Spanish for snack or appetizer if you will, and having had weight loss surgery, my husband and I can appreciate a humble portion. This will not be our last visit! You absolutely MUST dine here!!

We rarely are able to have a date night alone without our son, so we came here last month after having to cancel our previous reservation. It was overall a great experience. At first we were a bit apprehensive about the seating because as a party of two, we were seated at a 4-top table in the middle of the restaurant separated by a clear plastic divider (Not apprehensive due to Covid, just apprehensive due to privacy and not wanting to sit directly next to strangers). However, our concern was alleviated as the reservations were well staggered so we primarily had the table to ourselves after the couple seated on the other side of the divider left shortly after we arrived. Towards the end of our visit, the booths on the outer walls filled up completely, clearly showing the popularity of the restaurant. Our server was very attentive, I believe his name was James and he was very accommodating and personable. He answered all of our questions. It was a little harder to get his attention when I needed a second drink and when we wanted dessert as the restaurant had filled up by then (another server actually came over and got us our 2nd round of drinks). We’d heard good things but never tried it, so we ordered the Jamon Iberico. It was melt in your mouth delicious, very tender and nutty. I probably would not order it again but was definitely excited to try it. We ordered a bunch more small plates (Jamon croquetas, brisket empanadas, shishitos, tuna ceviche, and churros with ice cream). Empanadas were fantastic, and I enjoyed the croquetas although I did not realize I could get some with chicken and some with ham. The shishitos were nicely seasoned and charred. By far, the tuna ceviche was my favorite as it was incredibly light and flavorful and fragrant with citrus. The churros were delicious as well and overall, the food was really good. I had the Smugglers run and Spanish rose cocktails. Both were well made and quite delicious. Overall, it was a great experience and we would definitely return. There was a group there who did have a child with them, but I definitely would not bring my 4 1/2 year-old.

Everything I had was delicious, this is a 5 star nyc restaurant in upstate ny. The cheese meat board the paella the flan were superb, I was shockingly pleasantly surprised, did not expect that and I will be back. Go try it out, you won’t be disappointed.
