Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in West Park

Great atmosphere, food was great but not much of a menu on Valentine's Day

Although our meal was quick (apps came out really fast) our service, the taste, the value was there and what you would expect from Serafina. Would absolutely go back.

Very nice restaurant with an intimate ambiance. We ate inside for Valentine’s day and expected it to be slammed, but I think we came in early enough (6pm) to avoid that. Good service throughout, our server Derrick did a nice job going over the specials and keeping my wife’s water refilled throughout the evening. The beef tar tar special was a tad disappointing as it lacked flavor and had a brown appearance. They say color is not an ideal indicator of freshness, but to me it didn’t look or taste appealing overall. Burrata was good and was elevated with the balsamic and EVOO bottles on the table. Bussers did great clearing our plates between courses and dinner was good. We had the bolognese and black ink seafood pasta. The bolognese admittedly though was pretty salty. Still, a great evening overall. We recognized our previous server Nikolay who also remembered us and he was fantastic as always and greeted and bade us farewell at the end of the night. Shoutout also to the hostess staff, the blonde girl at the front wished us a happy anniversary as per my reso and directed her fellow hostesses to seat us at a “nice table inside” The tall valet gentleman also I will mention was VERY nice and bilingual. Opened my wife’s door and gave me a very nice farewell too.

Fabian took care of us exceptionally, we waited but he insisted for the best table on the outside patio; very much worth the wait. Our meals were superbly satisfying. Some steps of getting there might be intimidating but check in at the guard gate with your picture ID to get a temporary entry pass (respect this is located in a gated community), also valet parking only at the 400 building next door ($4 + tip).

The ambiance was spectacular! We had a great table with a lovely view of the city but I don't think there was a bad table! Food was good, cocktails were great. Chocolate and Coffee Gelato to end the evening was delicious. Would definitely go back! Great service.
