I live across the country and I called Rita Flora for a delivery within L.A. because of the top rated review here. The flowers may be beautiful but they were delivered a day late after the person I sent them to had to go to the store. They had called her several times and could not figure out her address, even though I had given it to them correctly -- twice. They fired the person responsible for the mistake, or so they say, but they wouldn't even refund the delivery fee -- crazy. It was only $15, you would think they would at least try to win back a customer after overcharging me for the flowers and inconveniencing the person I was trying to give a gift to! It's not much money but it did frustrate me on principle. Don't use this place.

Pros: Flowers are supposed to be beautiful

Cons: Didn't make delivery on time

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

Just went with a few friends, including a bride-to-be who perused the shop after lunch for wedding flower ideas. Just a great vibe all around. And the food was delicious.

Pros: Shop & eat!, Parking (free valet), Late hours

Cons: A little Pricey

The store have great selection of flowers-especially the hard to find ones, but i have to tell you-during valentine's season IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE! They raise the price sooo high! The arrangement were pretty great, one of the best arrangement i have seen. But it wouldn't hurt to lower the price a bit. For example, one rose - $10!!!!!

Pros: great arrangements, variety

Cons: Expensive, Expensive, Expensive

This ultra trendy floral store produces some of the most exquisite arrangements around town for a very pricey bundle. Traditionialism meets modernism with uber beautiful callas and white tiger lilies paired with green, thin reeds.

The flower shop is amazing! The last time I've seen that much color was in Yosemite. The kitchen is also a delight. A great place to sit down for lunch and take in the scenery. Overall, a wonderful stop to take your date!
