Contemporary Mexican
Serena Rooftop, the open-air Terrace Restaurant and Bar located on the second floor of the Hotel. Modeled after Oaxaca’s iconic rooftops, serves cocktails and tropical cuisine for lunch and dinner, focusing on plates that draw from the Caribbean, Mexico, the Mediterranean, and beyond. A domed canopy made of cast iron and strung with twinkling lights and bougainvillea shelters the all outdoor dining area.

Even being an all outdoor restaurant we are no more subject to weather as we have installed an electric roof.

**Please note we serve a smaller and more limited menu daily from 3:30PM to 6:00PM for our transition to dinner service, as well as Happy Hour from 3PM-6PM.

**Cake Fee is $5 per person, up to 25$ per party**

    We spent the day at The Moxy with a resort pass. The pass gave us a 15% off that they did not honor and then the validated parking ended up not working for some reason. Cost an additional $85 than it should. Very disappointing for what was an okay meal, decent drinks and good service. As always when at Miami Beach, the prices are never what you think.

    Their music drowned conversation. A mezcal cocktail lacked much mezcal. A Caesar salad lacked much dressing. Guacamole flavorful but not freshly prepared.

    Drinks were good, service was terrible. Bar was empty at one point and I had to walk around to find a bartender to close my tab. Prices are a little high for a “rooftop” that’s one story above ground level.

    Add Serena to the top of your dining list on your next visit to South Beach! The ambience is top notch. It is clear the designers invested an incredible amount of time and energy into bringing this energetic and hospitable space to life. Antonio was our server and his care and attention to our needs was unmatched. Thank you for a memorable dining experience! We will be back.

    Spent my birthday here and took a gamble on it being a fun happening place and wasnt disappointed. Nice spacious open bar , lovely restaurant and great service. The food was nice , the drinks tasty and the embiance was exactly what we wanted. Not too loud, not dead at all. Well lit and I am very happy we came here and will hopefully do so again in the future.

    This was by far the worst experience we had while in Miami! The view is pretty but that is where it stops and stops abruptly! Our waiter was extremely rude and I mean beyond rude, he had no knowledge of the menu and was put out seemingly to serve us dinner. The dinner arrived and it was bland and certainly didn’t make up for us having to deal with the terrible wait staff. There are great places to eat in south beach, visit any of them instead!!!!!!!

    Serena RooftopResponded on February 12, 2023Dear Nicole, I would really like to speak to you in more detail about your experience at Serena. We highly value your opinion and would like to invite you back (with a credit of course!) to give us another shot at providing the experience you deserved. Thank you, Carlos Lopez General Manager

    I enjoy this rooftop spot! Took a girlfriend there for her first time and it was a nice time! We sat at one table that was too close to a speaker, we couldn’t hear each other but they offered to move us swiftly so it was better. The ambiance is super fun, a DJ was there, and the drinks were tasty. Highly suggest coming here for a pre game or dinner before going out!

    Serena Rooftop is a find! My husband and I were in for Basel Art Week and capped off our brief trip with a dinner there. Fantastic atmosphere, vibes and food! Service was at times a bit slow, but it was a busy time (Basel). Also, loud but it didn’t bother us. Definitely recommend!
