    This was my first dining experience at Seraphine. Everything was excellent - Food, drinks, service and ambience. The daily special menu had a surprisingly large number of vegetarian options which was unexpected. Would recommend Seraphine to anyone to looking to have a special dining experience.

    This place was incredible. Took my partner here for our 1 year and could not have asked for a better experience than this one. Chris was our server and was a fantastic, kind, charming energy who guided us through our meal with ease. It was such a joy to experience this place. We had a few appetizers and of course- the linguine and clams. Of which was a 10/10 meal.
