Serafina is always a favorite. We like that it’s off the beaten path, making it a hidden gem. There are plenty of Italian restaurants in South Florida, but there are only a few that are consistently delicious.

Friend’s birthday celebration pre- show at Broward Center for the Performing Arts Server was prompt and knowledgeable. Our food selections ranged from appetizers and salad to pasta bolognese and pork chop entrees. The atmosphere was warm and festive - l The restaurant is located a short walk from the Broward Center along the waterfront and is a great complement to an enjoyable evening with friends

We absolutely love Burlock Coast when we are visiting Fort Lauderdale. Excellent food. Excellent service. We have several with food allergies and they are amazing at being able to provide safe options for each of us. We’ve dined as just a couple and as a group of 6. Each time they haven’t skipped a bit. They care about where we want to sit and what we want to eat. Thank you!
