    My wife and I had dinner at Serafina last night and we certainly understand now the reasons behind the rave reviews. The food was excellent. We sat outdoors right on the water and the place had a very nice and relaxed ambience. The service was excellent as well. I could tell that every staff person was trying their best and hustling around. Staff was very attentive and sincere. My wife had pasta with a pear stuffing and pesto sauce. I had a generous serving of muscles in a garlic, white wine sauce and the whole branzino, which was perfectly deboned. It may not be in a fancy hotel or overlooking the Fort Lauderdale beaches, but this is a wonderful restsurant with great food, service, and ambience. .

    Food and service were outstanding, everyone from the host to the waiter down to the buss staff were friendly and helpful. I had the lamb shank which was outstanding, others in my party enjoyed shrimp, red snapper and swordfish. I would like to point out that it was busy because of Valentine’s Day but no one missed a beat. A little too noisy for my taste but not for those enjoying the energetic vibe.

    We started our lunch with the best Margaritas on the rocks and freshly made guacamole with Rocco’s chips. Highly recommend the delicious Turf & Surf Molcajotes for two to share and finishing with the yummmmy churros dessert! Great and friendly service from the staff!
