Flair Taverna

Popped in accidently not knowing what to expect. Turned out to be a group of good people working together. Welcomed as I arrived and seated quickly. Live music playing, good people behind the bar. I need to visit again as I know that "Brown Sneakers" plays there frequently. Food looks really good but this visit didn't try. Lots of space to move around even when tables are positioned before music starts and they get cleared out. Thanks for a great visit..see you soon

We came to Flair Taverna for my birthday dinner and it did not disappoint. Loved that we could make a reservation on Open Table ahead of time so that we knew there wouldn’t be a long wait time.

Our waiter, Raul, was fantastic. He was very attentive and took care of every need. I made the mistake of wearing a white shirt and he taught me that white wine will remove stains in an instant. Who knew??

We ordered drinks, appetizers, and entrees. Everything was so good and fresh. Only complaint was that the pepperoni pizza was very greasy so we had to use napkins to soak up some of the grease but it was delicious.

I had the ribeye and it was fantastic. Husband had Lobster ravioli and he was in heaven. Crab cakes were delicious although a little small for the price. I ordered a spicy margarita and it was very spicy but delicious.

We enjoyed our meal and will go back for special occasions. It is pricey so probably not somewhere we will visit on a regular night out but for special occasions it’s worth a visit.

This was our first time eating at this restaurant. Our servers name was Miguel and he did a phenomenal job representing the establishment. He was super knowledgeable about each dish and drink they had available. He was attentive without being over bearing. The food was amazing. My husband got the plate that Miguel suggested and was not disappointed. We will for sure have to make another trip here to try the dessert menu because it looked just as impressive as the dinner menu.

Great food & completely different than anything around West Texas. I found a plate here that I've only seen in Miami that is usually served as a platter called the Paella it was the 💣 The salmon plate & Lime chicken were also good. From the appetizers down to dessert were delicious 😋 it is pricey but you get what you pay for & this place is worth it.

This place was great for a date night. Nice and upscale place for a change of scenery and their drinks were delicious!!! We will be definitely coming back here again!! I’m definitely impressed with their old fashioned

We definitely recommend Flair Tavera! The food is really good! We had the mussels, crab cakes, lamb, chilean sea bass, steak and chicken. All of the food was beautifully prepared and delicious. Evian was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We will be back!

Exceptional food, great service, damn good old fashioned. This was thoroughly surprising. First time in the small town of Odessa, this is not the type of experience one expects. Had a double order of the lobster rav, which if we are being honest, should be the default, the bruschetta, a ceaser, and the bread pudding. It was all great. Don't miss out on this place if you are traveling through town. Great Italian joint that would hold up anywhere.

Worth the trip. Service was outstanding, especially Brittany who gave me a tour of their wine cellar. The food was so so good. The restaurant area is very nice and the bar area resembles a speakeasy. Such a great place!

We enjoyed our dinner at this fine little restaurant! Higher priced meals but delicious! I had the Surd And Turf Special which I completely enjoyed! Cane with a Ribeye, Shrimp, Lobster, mashed potatoes, and asparagus. My husband had the Flair Chicken and stated he enjoyed it. Dessert was amazing!!!

Just moved to the area this last year and haven't found very many spots we like. We were recommended this restaurant a few times and finally went for a date night. WOW, so good!! I had the Scottish Salmon and my husband had the Ribeye. Both were very good but the ribeye was truly the best steak we have ever had. Also ordered a few cocktails including some sangrias and the chocolate martini, martini was delicious. We also ordered the chocolate cake to go and was under the impression it came with ice cream, sadly we didn't get the ice cream with it though and were a little disappointed 😅

This place was a pleasant surprise. With all the failed places that have been at that location, it’s great to have a really good restaurant in place.

The service was outstanding, we had Nadia as our waitress and she was absolutely fantastic. Very attentive and very polite.

We had butternut squash ravioli as an appetizer and it was popping with flavor ! Also had the tomato basil soup and it was so great I’m still thinking about it !

I had the roasted chicken al limone as my entree and it was so delicious. Big portion as well. My wife is a vegetarian and she had the cheese ravioli and she was very pleased with her plate. Lots of vegetarian options. The way they dress the plates are outstanding as well.

Can’t wait to come back and I’ll save room for dessert this time!

12-22-21: I ordered the chicken alfredo and it was extremely delicious and fresh. The food was hot and a generous portion of food. I ordered the calamari as a appetizer and it tasted fresh and was pretty good as well. The bread was hot and tasted fresh and tasty. The inside of the restaurant is extravagant and a fancy vibe for sure.

I highly recommend trying out this local homemade restaurant in Odessa.

So good! The crab cakes were really great. I tried the apple martinis.. yum. Our favorite part of the meal was the blueberry bread pudding. Our waitress was very attentive. Wonderful experience overall. Best place we've tried in Midland to date. We will be back!!

What an excellent, exquisite, flavorful and welcoming atmosphere What this place going on. We were impressed with the service and the delicious food and perfectly prepared cocktails. We are already planning a visit for this month.

So forget it was "Scratch Kitchen " or "Sid's Place", there is a new owner and new game going on at now " Flair Taverna ". This is a real Italian restaurant. Very authentic food and very good. Had a great experience there. For all of you looking for something new in Odessa this is it.

My wife and I recently spent an evening at Flair Taverna. I play in a music group that played a show at the restaurant/bar/club. We must say, Wow, what a nice place. The people, the food, the drinks, the atmosphere, are top notched. This was our first trip as a couple (married for 31 yrs.) to Odessa, Tx. but it won’t be our last. Go check it out for yourself, you won’t be disappointed. 👍👍

Amazing ! … The only word I can think of to describe it . The food and drinks were deliciouuuusssss 🙌🏽 The service from all the staff it’s amazing , since the moment you arrive , the treatment it’s amazing . One of the best restaurants in Odessa . Definitely recommend

Stopped in after a nice little hunting trip. The hostest and server were absolutely amazing! The ribeye steak was pretty good. I wanted the filet, but they didn't have any at the time. The place is a bit pricey, but it was totally worth it.

I visited for my first time on Sunday. They had me at homemade pasta!

From the moment you walk in, you are greeted by kind, smiling faces. The decor of the restaurant was clearly planned with love. The ceiling tiles are spotless, and the air vents do not have a spec of dirt on them. I always look at the ceilings of restaurants to judge the cleanliness.

The way they up-cycled the vintage glass insulators into lights was beautifully done.
They also inserted shelves in the corners of the booths to place handbags, which is a thoughtful touch.

We began our meal with the bruschetta. You can tell that their olive oil and balsamic are of high quality.

For the main course, I had the cheese ravioli (off of the children’s menu), and it was cooked perfectly! Al dente all the way! It is difficult to find pasta in the basin that is not overcooked.

We wrapped up the meal with the cream brûlée. The only criticism I have is the caramelized sugar on top was a bit too thick. But, nonetheless, delicious.

I would highly recommend!

Everything was SOOOO tasty! We had the crab cakes for an appetizer. It was well presented and the taste was great. I got the flair Chicken and I love how creamy it was. Our waitress was very sweet and attentive. GREAT SERVICE. We brought my mom here for Mother’s Day and we all loved it. We are definitely coming back.
