What Ronnie Massey doesn't like about Florentine restuarant:
There were chili peppers extensively on every meal and it distracted from the flavor. Paying over $30 per plate should not only taste like chili pepper flakes.

The Florentine restaurant has received mixed reviews from diners. Some have complained about the quality of the omelet, with issues ranging from temperature to incorrect ingredients. Others have praised the food and ambiance, especially during happy hour. The service has been a point of contention for some, with complaints about servers forgetting utensils or mixing up orders. However, there have been positive experiences as well, such as special treatment for newlyweds and excellent service for private events. Overall, the Florentine seems to offer a varied dining experience with a focus on good food, cozy ambiance, and attentive staff.

The food was OK. Good preparation, but the taste was so so. I don't think the food matches the cost.
