Restaurants near Hugh Taylor Birch State Park

The service was great. Our waitress was really nice and attentive. The appetizers were served soon after they were ordered. Our entrees came shortly after we were done with the apps. The grilled octopus and lobster ravioli were my favorites.

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. . 

Best experience yet. The restaurant was buzzing with groups of people celebrating different occasions. Felt like a party. The Chicken parm was rated lifetime number one from a chicken parm connoseir. My whole family loves it here.

Loved the food. Everything was very good, from the baby gem salad to the rock shrimp to the miso soup to the Wagyu Bulgogi. Beautiful ambience in the afternoon sitting outdoors in the pleasant air watching the blue ocean, beach and people walking by. Music was not too loud so one could enjoy a conversation. Service was pretty decent. All in all a very enjoyable leisurely Saturday brunch.

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.
