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.

We had a six person party with my elderly Mom. Every bodies meal was outstanding and the service was incredible. In advance I requested a non menu item to accommodate my Mom's non-alcoholic wine request. The manager accommodated the request and the night was an incredible night for all.

We have been to Seraphine multiple times previously and we have always been happy with the food. This time was much less satisfactory. I ordered Oysters Rockefeller, which is a well established dish in which oysters on the half shell are cooked with spinach with a little cream and cheese. This version had oysters, minus their shells, lost below a mound of cream and cheese-I had to search for them-and it was overly rich. The shrimp and grits second course was much richer than when we had had it here previously and again excessively rich and caloric. Do you have a new chef? Is this a new strategy to make the food really creamy and rich? Either way, we found this a very disappointing visit.
