Your singers are SO awful. It makes dining really unworthy of your food. Let people enjoy the view and calming effect of the water. This is the second or third time you have had a singer who was disturbing enough for me not to return. Get rid of them‼️‼️

Not gonna lie I was a little nervous when I pulled up to the front but as soon as I walked down the alleyway to the waterfront I was hooked. Was greeted by our waiter DJ who had a cute Italian accent and was very attentive to us. He gave us the specials one being the Arracinhi which was stuffed with prosciutto and Smokey mozzarella and topped with a bolognese sauce. OMG so delicious!! We had salmon and snapper dishes for entrees with my mom getting another special of rigatoni with a sundress tomorrow sauce topped with blackened shrimp. Oh boy I would have been really jealous if my fish wasn’t cooked to perfection and the veggies were awesome. I would go back in a minute the little canal we sat on with the docked boats were so nice and we spent our time there watching the sunset finishing our dirty martini’s. Would def come back next trip this is a hidden Fort Lauderdale gem!! Don’t skip this place!

I did not give 4 stars as this was a Wednesday night- we had reservations for 6:30 pm they had a singer that night and the music was so loud we could not hear each other talk- so I asked the waiter kindly to please see if he could turn the music speaker down- he replied it is live music- not going to happen- so can we move?? NOPE- oddly the singer signed off at 7:30pm- and it was calm again- my veal chop was dry and over cooked- my husbands fish dinner was over cooked an dry with a sauce to cover it up and our guest cold not finish at all- so disappointing as we have never had a bad experience here before-

2nd time eating there this week, always wonderful, but the waitress never told us about the specials. We heard another server list the specials so we had to ask, which we ended up ordering, the other table was never given the specials either, otherwise we love Serafinas.

the meal was delicious but our server went missing multiple times throughout the course of the meal AND never mentioned any of the specials - only heard them after another server explained them to the table. i was a bit taken aback during the meal by the interactions with the hostess and guests… 1) she gave attitude when guests followed her to the table instead of waiting 2) when I overheard her make a snide remark to a guest saying what she thought was under her breath “that’s not my job” as the guest asked for water as she was walking by… I wouldn’t not come back as the setting is great and the food was worth it, just a bit disappointing on the service end

Waterfront view is not exactly premier view to write home about. Staff is good. They were a bit short staffed at lunch but who isn’t these days. Food was good. Classic Italian and “take a box” portions. I would go back but lots more to explore as we are new to the area

Everything about this experience was overrated especially with all the good reviews I read about. We were sat in a table possibly the farthest away from the water and other tables in general. It probably explains why our waiter kept forgetting to bring us things we asked for. The only thing that was good was the octopus appetizer- everything else needed salt or was too dry such as the veal parmigiana. The branzino still had lots of bones in it making it difficult to eat. The portions were large which was nice but the prices were very expensive for the quality we received. Overall, we have no interest in returning. I really wish it was a better experience.

I’ll be honest and say when we arrived, I was going to turn around and go somewhere else because the outside of the restaurant is not too appealing. They have two different store fronts with a walkway between then that leads to the deck in the back. What the restaurant lacks in curbside appeal, it surely makes up in quality food with plentiful portions. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. The outdoor seating is on the intracoastal and our waiter Joe was really friendly and nice.
