    I have been to Sarafina many times, yesterday experience was disappointing. The food was below their average standards and we didn’t enjoy many of the dishes we ordered. The pizza which I always order was subpar, the hamburgers no one liked.

    Husband said it was the most delicious meatballs he’s ever had anywhere. Cool NY interior with warm and attentive service. Everyone was kind. I had the most delicious shaved brussel sprout salad with apples and pomegranate seeds. Out of this world. Entrees were delicious. Can’t recommend this place enough.

    We dined early. The restaurant had few people in it, yet the waitress was often nowhere to be seen. My friend's Spaghetti was, I gather, fine, but Eggplant Parmesan was soaked in salt and much too small a portion for its size.

    We loved our main server; the people who delivered the dishes were so nice; and the food was SO good. We tried a mix of specials and menu items - everything was delicious. Thank you for a lovely evening.

    Had a great time last night. The place was not crowded, service was fast and attentive although, somewhat relaxed. My wife and her friend ordered the branzino and they loved it. Serafina salad was also delicious. The lychee martini was light however, enjoyable.

    Always a good experience. The food was good, as usual. Service was a bit slow. Had to wait or ask for the bread as for condiments.
