Best Cosy Restaurants in Oakland Park

My wife and I had dinner at Serafina last night and we certainly understand now the reasons behind the rave reviews. The food was excellent. We sat outdoors right on the water and the place had a very nice and relaxed ambience. The service was excellent as well. I could tell that every staff person was trying their best and hustling around. Staff was very attentive and sincere. My wife had pasta with a pear stuffing and pesto sauce. I had a generous serving of muscles in a garlic, white wine sauce and the whole branzino, which was perfectly deboned. It may not be in a fancy hotel or overlooking the Fort Lauderdale beaches, but this is a wonderful restsurant with great food, service, and ambience. . 

Four of us went on a Saturday at 5 and sat in the corner of the dining room. Waitress was great and the food was very good. Room was filled when we left and the noise level had increased.

It was Valentine night with full house but they get so well organized that the service was as if we were there alone also the piano man made it more enjoyable. The food was very good although obviously was a limited valentines menu

The view, food and vibe at the House on the River was great. Our server Macarena and the hostess Pilar were very polite, professional and attentive on our visit on Valentine's day. 10 out of 10 service. We will be coming back.

We were first timer really wasn’t expecting that much of a great view. Everything was perfect to spend our Valentine’s Day with the rooftop outside experience. Will definitely go back for the outside dining.
