    We've been coming here for about 3-4 years now, I'd say at the least once a month, sometimes twice a week. Hands down always our go to when we don't know where to go in the city, or can't make up our mind Everyone is just super pleasant to deal with, food is always consistent. We always tell our friends from out of town to come to Serafina either in Back Bay, or Seaport. We love it here, wish I knew the names of the servers we've dealt with as I'd love to mention them

    I made reservations weeks prior for my daughter's 16th birthday. They stuck us in a tiny table for 5 people, two orders didn't come as ordered.

    I went for a solo date brunch and it was amazing! The space was clean and open and my waitress was so kind. I got the brunch pizza and it was the best thing ever!

    Food was great but service was extremely slow we had to flag down the waitress multiple times and only ordered one drink our entire 3 hour dinner … we even had to flag her down just to get the check. Meals all came out at different times and no one checked on to see if they were even right
