Editorial Review for Rita Flora – by Lee Parker
The Scene
This stylish shop is a neighborhood favorite, beloved for its beautiful fresh flowers and plants--and for paving the way for the revitalization of the La Brea and Third Street shopping district in the mid-'80s. Since 1986, it has consistently delivered the goods, including some of the wittiest verse to ever hit a store marquee.
The Goods
There's not a single fern and baby's breath-laden arrangement here. This shop has always been at the forefront of floral design, so you can assume that any arrangement it sends will be as unique as it is fresh. The shop also has a huge collection of orchids, as well as non-floral gifts like delicious Comparte's chocolates and Agraria's garden-scented candles and home fragrances.

i have been coming to rita flora for years because i live around the corner. i have always received great flowers and great service. today, i went in to buy graduation flowers for a friend and was utterly disgusted with the service and competence of the sales woman. first of all, the prices were raised. $7.95 for each rose!! then she told us to go to trader joe's or ralphs instead. but i was in a rush ... so... she proceeded to make the tackiest arrangement possible. upon which she squeezed the flowers so close together, the petals were bent and some fell off. i couldn't help but laugh at the large brown sleeping bag she had made with all the flowers choked up at the top. i will never never come here again! when the salesperson tells you to go somewhere else... listen.
Pros: great location, pretty flowers, good ambience
Cons: aweful arrangement skills, overpriced flowers

I went to this to try the Rose wine because I got an email advertisement that looked interesting. I rarely do that but I'm glad I did in this case. The food is unbelieveable! There's some sort of flowershop in the same building owned by the same people I guess so it's just gorgeous and always has fresh flowers. Great for a romantic date. I'd make reservations, but I've been there for lunch and dinner without needing them. Park in the rear if you can!
Pros: Terrific Food, Easy Parking, Great Service, Beautiful Ambiance
Cons: There's only one location
