- SHSamerHVIPCincinnati / Dayton •17 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoMy 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. .

- DDavidVIPDetroit / Eastern Michigan •120 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoAlways a great meal at Sea Watch! It was Valentine’s weekend, so we knew they’d be busy. Everything was served with little delay. Three of us enjoyed the scallops while the fourth had the Seafood Mixed Grill. Nice wine list, too. Prices are fair, and we (almost) always have leftovers to take home!More infoSea Watch On the OceanPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Lauderdale by the Sea•4.7

The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was because the crowd was much older than I thought (60 plus) so beware.More infoMickey's Downtown BistroPrice: Moderate• Mediterranean• Lauderdale by the Sea•4.6
