Best Brunch Restaurants in Lauderdale by the Sea

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. . 

Always a great meal at Sea Watch! It was Valentine’s weekend, so we knew they’d be busy. Everything was served with little delay. Three of us enjoyed the scallops while the fourth had the Seafood Mixed Grill. Nice wine list, too. Prices are fair, and we (almost) always have leftovers to take home!

We are a clearly visible lesbian and we were treated like any other couple and it was very reassuring and we felt safe and comfortable. We had a wonderful waitress who was very attentive and funny and even said we were a cute couple! I’ve been eating at Burlock Coast for a few years now with my family and now my partner and it’s always a positive experience.

We were a party of six (6) that enjoyed our Dining experience. We order from the Lunch Menu, although the Dinner Menu was available. The presentation was good and the food was excellent. The experience was so good that my wife and her group are already planning a Lunch Date. We really enjoyed the whole experience.

We were seated quicking and had a reservation. Beautiful waterfront dining on the intercoastal waterway. Our server Ashley was excellent, friendly and very attentive. We were not rushed although the place filled up quickly. Ordered the sushi as an appy then went with their their fresh fish entrees. truely fresh and delicious. Portions were generous. For dessert we had the cheescake and the 5 layer chocolate cake. We were told all desserts were baked on premises by their pastry chef and it showed. The chocolate cake was HUGE for $ 14 no way to even attempt to finish it. If I had to pick on one item, not their fault, the sunset was blocked by a high building acroos the waterway.
