I recently visited Serea with my mom and sister, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with stunning views of the beach, creating the perfect atmosphere for a relaxing meal. We chose to sit in the patio, and let me tell you the scenery alone is worth the visit. The service was impeccable. Our waiter was attentive without being overbearing, offering great recommendations and making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. It’s clear that customer satisfaction is a top priority here. The GM Manuel did an excellent job at making our visit feel extra special! You can tell the team puts a lot of care into creating a welcoming and enjoyable experience for the guests As for the food, the seafood was exceptionally fresh. We ordered a variety of dishes, and each one was prepared to perfection. The Kampachi Crudo was a standout for me – fresh, tasty, perfect amount of salt. My favvvvorite! Whether you're a seafood lover or just looking for a brunch place with a beachy atmosphere/vacation vibes, Serea checks all the boxes. Highly recommend as one of the go-to places to visit on vacation, or for any locals looking to get away from the city, relax, and enjoy a fabulous meal.

My wife and I were staying at The Del and had dinner at Serea, we shared the Wood Fired Mediterranean Sea Bass. It was delicious, deboned table side. The server warned me about the collar which was very tasty but boney. It was tasty and I did encounter some bones but as along as you’re careful it’s soooo worth it. We paired it with a bottle of Rose, definitely a must try.

We went to this restaurant for our anniversary and it did not disappoint. We were treated to complementary champagne and a really fantastic dessert! What we really liked the best was the whole fish. You only had two choices of fish, but it was caught that morning. Totally awesome. And the preparation was exquisite. The service was also spot on and we were really treated well. Not to be missed, especially for a special occasion! Check out the dessert. It's like a ship with sweet tortillas as sails, and the ice cream in a glass bottle that's cut in half. The "note in the bottle" says "Happy Anniversary. Very clever and fun!

The octopus appetizer was excellent. The main course of halibut had a tasty sauce but the halibut itself seemed a bit dry with no flavor. The dessert was a citrus infused crème brûlée and was quite good. Loved the ambience and setting.
