   Great date nite! Server, Chloe, was a fantastic host and has waited on us twice now with the same warm manner and impeccable attention to our needs. In the bar, Todd, made delicious craft cocktails with his usual charm and great bar banter

   The ambiance ,food and drinks were excellent however when charges on the credit card slip did not match the first itemized invoice presented . When we asked to see the detail , a new detail invoice was presented and it was obvious to us that dessert charges were added but we did not order dessert? We told our waiter but when he came back he said it was credited off but he did not provide a new charge slip. So we have no receipt for what was charged to our respective cards as we did not authorize/sign for any charges. A very unpleasant unsettling ending to what was a very nice dinner.

   Serafina has been our favorite spot for 20 years. Their patio is the best in Seattle and the food and staff are consistently great. Although we only dine there a couple of times a year, some remember us and treat us as family. We do however miss their old Sommelier Sal, and his amazing wine list. I know they hired someone new but sounds like they will keep the wine list simple and small. Maybe they can get Sal to do some contract work for them!

   Found out Happy Hour only applies if you are sitting in the bar. Also found out there is no little dessert with a candle for a birthday... Other than that, enjoyed sitting outside and food was good, although dishes could use a vegetable or something other than just a bowl of the entree.

   Indoor and outdoor dining options in the PNW means you will get a few gnats flying around you. Not a deal breaker, but wanted others to be aware.

    My wife and I lived at Boston & Yale about a block from the Serafina location after getting married on 9/13/1987. We spent many days at the old restaurant before it became Serafina. We spent many birthdays, anniversaries, special dinners with our kids and friends at Serafina over the past 30 years. Always the best. Not last night for our 35th wedding anniversary dinner. Very disappointed. Service was slow. The braised octopus was pushed mightily......and it was meagre and tasteless. Drinks took forever. My wife's special pasta was ok. My duck confit showed little if any signs of duck and had zero flavor. The server apologized for the slow delivery. No reason was given. The ambience is still wonderful. The wait staff seem ok but not the same as we remember over the years. We have always held Serafina in a special place in our all-time favorites. We left sad at our special night out being not what we expected. Sorry, Serafina. We won't be back any time soon.

    Comparing to other Italian restaurants the menu choice is limited, no good salads. The octopus was dry. Overall, nothing special for the price.

    We love Serafina! We celebrated an Anniversary dinner after not being there for several years. The Bruschetta toppings were scrumptious. The Melanzane was just as good as ever and the Crostada was to die for. Service was wonderful! We sat outside on the street as it was pretty loud inside. It was quieter on the street than in the restaurant. So glad this restaurant continues to serve Seattle its little slice of heaven!

    Usually, we are very happy about Serafina. But this time was a catastrophe. We had booked at 7.30pm, and we had to wait until 8.05pm to get a table. The time to get served was very long as well. We did not even get a dessert as it was not a pleasant experience.

    Very disappointed in a restaurant that is one of our favorites. We brought out-of-town guests - and told them in advance how good the food was. Server at the bar got 2 of our drink orders wrong. Our server didn't bring us one of the appetizers we ordered and another took forever to get. Four of the pasta dishes we ordered were undercooked (more than al dente) and cold.

    We enjoyed our dinner! The ambiance is very romantic, lovely feeling to the place. We ordered several dishes, as it was our first time. The salads were so good. We also ordered the octopus, which was itself very delicious, but the preparation was quite pungent. My husband loved his lasagna. We had to wait at least 20 minutes for our main dishes. Our server was very kind about the wait and offered us something complementary.

    Like nearly all restaurants, you could tell serrafina struggled to handle the huge crowd of loving guests - troubled by understaffing. Even so, this team knocked it out of the park. Doing a great job when the work is tough goes extra far!

    Honestly disappointed at our recent Friday evening dinner. We dine at so many great restaurants and damn if Serafina ended up a less than enjoyable evening for my gal's birthday. I know Friday and Saturday evenings can be a sh** show so I'll blame some on too busy an evening for them. Within first 15 seconds it was obvious hostess should not be playing role of hostess at A list place. Then our server was so nice and easy to chat with at start, but dropped off map rest of evening. I mean she's walk past us and not say anything. I know she had a big table next door but at least acknowledge us. She must have not come by for almost an hour. We gave up on dessert and ready to leave. Added annoyance: my gal's daughter pre-paid for two glasses of champagne for us and that never made it to our table as we found out later. Come on Serafina, get handle on customer service. Food wise nothing was memorable. It was good, not great.

    Hostess was ok, had friendlier ones before. Wait staff was great! But food was not as good as before. Inside seating was way too hot, no working fans anywhere close to our table :-( Wrote in the reservation that we had a birthday celebration but did not feel treated special at all :-( Also felt they are now penny-pinching. Asked for some additional bread for the mussel-clam dish and were charged an extra $3. We had 2 appetizers, 3 main dishes and each of us had a drink, then I would assume that decent customer service would allow for an extra slice of bread without an extra charge :-(

    Reservation time wasn’t honored. It was 20 minutes after my reservation time and we still hadn’t been given our table, even though there was literally (used correctly) only one other table seated. We gave up and found a spot in the bar. LOVED everything else about it!
