Located in the heart of East Arlington, Massachusetts, Flora Restaurant has been a favored local dining destination since 1996. Housed in the renovated Arlington Five Cent Savings Bank - the restaurant makes use of the 1920's brick and granite exterior as well as the dramatic barrel vaulted ceiling, two story windows and original mahogany vestibule.
Against this elegant backdrop, chef-owner Bob Sargent serves a menu of simple, heartfelt American classics reinterpreted with French and Italian influences. He builds his dishes - and the menu - around local foods (especially seafood and farm-fresh produce) whenever he can.
Flora features Private Dining Rooms available for all size parties, a cool bar open during dining hours and a Sunday Buffet Brunch that can't be beat. Flora is also just a block away from the Capitol Theater, making it the perfect spot for a pre-theater dinner or after-movie dessert.

As owner/chef of Flora, Bob Sargent focuses continuously on providing his guests with hearty, flavorful meals using the freshest local ingredients available. Before opening flora with wife Mary Jo, he cooked at some of the Boston area's finest restaurants including Olives, The Blue Room, Providence and Harvest.
His first restaurant job was as a dishwasher at age sixteen, and he has been involved with food service to some degree ever since. Sargent serves on the board of the New England Culinary Institute, the Federation of Massachusetts Farmers Markets and the Arlington Chamber of Commerce.
A graduate of Vermont's New England Culinary Institute, Sargent also attended Clark University where he studied math and fun. Other than cooking, he enjoys playing drums, reading, listening to all kinds of music and fulfilling his daughter's and son's every wish.
